I would not install their antivirus/firewall/security software until it's
updated and ready for Windows Vista. That would be a Bad Thing.

Frankly you do not need the Yahoo crap that SBC tries to force you to use.
All you need is the ability to login, which means you need your user name
and pass word. Once that is done, you can use your email du jour, Outlook,
or whatever, and best of all you can use your AV of choice, such as NOD32,
McAfee, or Trend. Symantec would be my absolute last choice.
