I installed Daemon without having any spyware. It ask you wether or not to install the extra for Daemon. Just say no. REally, any ppl with common sense should notice that earlier.

i heard sum news from http://www.vnunet.com/vnunet/news/2192615/...ms-vista-secure claim that its quite safer? is it true?

In a sense. You would still get infected if you don't have a decent firewall or antivirus. But the UAC will try to prevent worms running malicious script behind your back, even tho it's a bit annoying. The base of Vista is not XP, and because of the low usage of vista currently, XP is more prone to attack than Vista.

agree. But Vista also have a lot to improve. am now working on several applications to know about the support for vista.

Just disable it when start on a fresh install and enable it back after install all the stuff.
But still, I find it annoying having to press few times just to launch something

Currently I off it

Indeed, it is more secure as compared to its predecessor, Windows XP. I would say this is mainly attributed by Microsoft's adoption of SDL which prioritize the integrity of software development. But, still, no matter how secure is Windows Vista, one should note that there are many applications and device drivers out there which contain exploitable vulnerabilities. Therefore, i would say that even though Vista is less likely to be targeted directly, these attacks could still be directed through common software applications such as Microsoft Office. Worse, since Windows have a large base of software applications, I can foresee that such attacks are becoming more prominent.

4.1 Windows Experience Index

Is this value OK for Vista?

yup , my Index only 2.7 also perfrorm very responsive in my Vista Ultimate

Huh, 2.7, Windows Experience Index but very responsive? My other PC 4.9 can't do simultaneous programs, if not hang or lag. I do Halo with WMP and burn DVD the PC hang. WMP to listen music while Halo mute.

I can run Aero with my graphic card..

My BenQ S41 scores:

Processor : 4.8
Memory: 4.8
Graphics: 5.9
Gaming Graphics: 5.3
Primary HDD: 4.3

Prolly due to the fact that my HDD is a SATA1 5400RPM disk and i was doing some torrenting so the score is lower.

dont think i am gonna upgrade to vista anytime soon . Too much hassle. need to update files summore , then risk not being able to used some old software even after updating the software

pointless......

What do you mean pointless? I'm using Vista and aside from some minor faults, it runs perfectly with all my software.

Read my post again...
read the post i quote...

SO say you're quoting that person or some will mistake what you've said. Like me.

Any sidebar that can display the temperatures of the CPU @ GPU @ Northrbidge?
