It sure is, Symantec AntiVirus Corporate.v9.0.2.1000 Final to be precise
The best AV bar none imho! (Yes I have tried NOD32 and as great as it is I feel nortons is better imo)

Sorry but it seems ironic with your "waste clock cycles" comment

You clearly don't know what your talking about

The clue is Corp

It use's less system resources / clock cycles then NOD32 if you must know!!

Well, you're entitled to your opinion. I have tried it by the way.

For anyone else that was dumbfounded when people talked of the Windows Vista "Snipping tool" (as I was), you have to go into Control Panel and enable the Windows feature "Tablet PC Optional Components".

Not as dumbfounded as those (such as I) that looked for it with XP........

I have disabled security center in Vista, anyone know how i can get rid of it from my system tray without just hiding it?

Steedie · 12 Jan 2008 at 20:05

In your security centre settings, there's a link on the left hand side that says:

"Change the way Security Centre alerts me"

Click on that and uncheck all the boxes

People still use single height task bars?

Actually now that widescreen monitors are becoming more prevalent, there is less need to use a 'deep' taskbar compared to before. I've used 2 lines (seems to give 3 for systray in Vista) ever since Quicklaunch was introduced on my main rig, but on backup rigs with less stuff I use single line.

I used to be incredibly minimalist with my systray (having nothing but an ISDN driver monitor there) but in recent years I've stopped disabling so much. Currently got:

Wireless utility
WLAN optimizer
Safely Remove hardware
AVG
X-Fi control
Logitech LCD Manager
Logitech Keyboard Profiler (should nuke this really as I never use it)

I don't get why anyone would want it more than 1 line high to be honest. Any more and it just looks cluttered and is a terrible waste of space.

taz488 · 13 Jan 2008 at 00:59

lol at people with tonnes of useless crap

prefer it simple, ace song in there for you as well

if you generally have a lot of stuff open and a lot in quickstart and systray (i.e. you actually use your PC for more than benchmarks and doing 1 thing at a time) then having just 1 line deep is a lot more cluttered - your area for open programs is much smaller and just looks a bit naff to be honest.

all IMO of course.
