Even so those things can easily be disabled if you dislike them so much, and
leave just the AV on.

Kaspersky's engine is legendary and has the best track record of ANY AV in
the history of AVs. It's what I recommend anyway.

And it's the only AV that could remove a virus that was stuck on my
brother's system for like 2 weeks. He went through 4 brands and stand alone
tools before I recommended it to him.

Personally though I don't use AV, just a firewall.

I agree, it is legendary and the AV prog worked great for me under the
earlier M$ OS, it's just gone the wrong way with all this 'internet security
suite' thing, it's just too norton for my liking

SimCity 4 plays great on my Vista 64, but you have to add it to the DEP
list.

right click computer, click properties
click Advanced system setting on the left
under Perfomance tab, click Settings
click the DEP tab [the right tab]
make sure it is ON for ALL programs
click ADD, & add SimCity 4.exe to it

If you want the Loteditor to work also add it to the list
------
The ones I have added to the DEP list are
SC4Tool.exe
Sim City Plugin Manager.exe
Simcity 4.exe
Simcity 4 Lot Editor.exe

Also run game in Windows XP mode & Administrator
