So, the Vista security model works. Remember, my machine has been
connected to the Internet continuously for NINE MONTHS (apart from
reboots), without anti-virus software and running only the firewall and
anti-malware apps that came in the box, and I've had no, zero, zip
problems. No malware, no viruses, no problems.

Somebody will ask you "how do you know for sure, if you don't have an
anti-XYZ program that tells you you are being monitored? " <G>
Jokes aside, great and very informative post , thanks!
Maybe I should give it another chance...

Do you happen to use VMWare? Opinions on the latest version running on
Vista?
