How Windows Vista almost destroyed my Laptop!
,----[ Quote ]
| DON'T and I mean DO NOT install Windows Vista. If somebody tries to sell you
| Windows Vista then RUN! Windows Vista had due to it's intense
| background-processes heated up my CPU over such a long time to such a high
| temperature that the cooling systems of my laptop started literally FALLING
| APART! For me Windows Vista is nothing more than Malware, Spyware or
| RootKitWare. Let's all hope it either becomes stable within some 14-15
| Service Packs or that it becomes ABANDON-ware.

"Windows Vista is nothing more than Malware, Spyware or RootKitWare...", just
like installing security software that does more harm then good...

Is an antivirus gap looming?

| The failure of antivirus companies to adapt to the dramatic malware
| appearance rates in 2007 tells us there's time for a change and there's room
| for a new class of tools. "AV is dead" is the battle cry of a new industry
| analyst report. Antivirus companies may not be going the way of the dodo, but
| to many customers, the concept of antivirus as the last line of defense has
| been thrown out the window. It's time for a better approach, one that can
| keep up and really defend networks.

Predicting the demise of antivirus apps
,----[ Quote ]
| "It's the beginning of the end for antivirus," says Robin Bloor, partner
| at consulting firm Hurwitz & Associates, who adds he began his
| "antivirus is dead" campaign a year ago and feels even more strongly
| about it today. "I'm going to keep beating this drum. The approach
| antivirus vendors take is completely wrong. The criminals working to
| release these viruses against computer users are testing against
| antivirus software. They know what works and how to create variants."
