MSN Toolbar included with Sun Java Security 'updates'
Beware of the *opt-out* behavior of Sun's java automatic updater. In the
US, at least, the MSN toolbar comes PREchecked [opt-out] and will
install along with purported java 'security' updates. Said 'security'
updates are presented as the latest version of Sun's java runtime.
Including crappy toolbars with security updates as an opt-out is a
REALLY dumb, shortsighted decision.
Shame on ...

Security Id's for "Program Files" folders?
I had a strange thing happen to me yesterday that got me to
investigating. One of my game programs, which I had just finished
playing with a couple hours before, refused to start telling me that I
did not have permission to start that program.
I went to the program files folder to look at the security tab. It was
true, my User Id (an Administrator) was not in the list of user names.

Hi
Running Windows Vista x64 SP2 beta on a HP notebook.
I use BitLocker and have no problems with it. But I have yet to

Reasons I have thought of could be:

Live Onecare and Adaware
I am using windows Live Oncare. I also like to use other antispyware,
usually because I have found that only one program is usually not enough to
capture all spyware. However, Live Onecare reports that Adaware may
