Even though I've still got XP on a drive, I don't use it any longer, but when I did, I installed a program named Process Guard, which prevents things being installed unless you specifically allow it. See the link below for where you get it from. http://www.diamondcs.com.au/processguard/ I had no problems with updating 3rd party security apps while it was up and protecting the system, except for Zone Alarm updates, where I had to temporarily disable it, so that the firewall updated properly. As XP is soon to come lose it's security support from MS, I expect that Zone Alarm too will cease providing updates, as I found out on my ME install, when MS dropped it. Nigel. btw: I've now got Qtractor built on Archlinux, thanks to a patch that Rui sent to me, that allows using gcc 4.3, which was the problem causing make to fail. I'm currently playing around with it. > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > Linux-audio-user mailing list > Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx > http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-audio-user
