Dear Blazixe,
This is not a direct answer to your post, but a few thoughts i would like to share with you.I would consider switching to XP from Vista an "upgrade" than otherwise.MS has done a bypass surgery with Windows 7. I use XP Pro and intrusion attacks take place everyday, but KIS blocks them. I hide behind TOR to mask and rotate the IP address and the spam messages to my Gmail have gone! Techguy gives me hell when i use the FF3 with TOR when i can open other websites with ease!
I personally felt uncomfortable with the UAC function in Vista till i read this article--

I've since upgraded to XP and am pleased as punch! Best wishes.
