    max,

    I ran a rootkit finder, nothing there. What is Prio? I googled, just found a program that sets task priority.

    Thanks,

    Prio is a great little app, google on prio.exe, it's free. It's not a security program per se but it does tell you what sites are hooked up to your computer and lots more..... it's gotten mentions on ET a few times recently, I'm new to it really, it's quite nice, I can tell you that much. It puts your task manager on steroids sort of....

    I really am serious about a windows machine not behind an SPI whitelisting firewall being unacceptable too.. A properly secured windows machine for business is a must, and an Apple for the internet, photoshop etc. is really the only way to do things. There are people that love the struggle of security with windows maybe, I have a philosophy regarding computers: I want the little f$%^&rs working for me and not me working for the little f$%^&rs. A secured windows machine like my trading setup, allowed to connect only to 3 internet addresses makes sense in regard to it working for me, and an Apple surfing the internet makes sense in the same philosophy, a windows machine surfing the internet does not make sense in my philosophy because I have to worry about security and be very security conscious, it will have me working for it, the little f$%^&r.
