Windows Defender? by djkrus
My Acer with Windows Home Premium came with Windows Defender. I loaded a 90 free trial of Norton Protection Center at the suggestion of the Geek Squad. The free part is ending soon. I have not had any problems. Do I really need any protection other than Defender? -- thanks for any help.

I'm not sure if it did anything because various scans by the above mentioned programs have not turned anything up but I'm concerned.

Outlook and web access fails when updates are added by PA Bear
Crossposted to Vista Security newsgroup. I was asking about Office 2003 SP3, not SP2 (SP3 was only released 2 days ago): Is SP3 listed in windowsupdate.log or in Update History at Windows Update website? What other updates are listed that were recently installed, other than Defender definitions updates? I very much doubt that a Defender definitions update caused the problem. -- ~PA Bear

Opening Screen by TJenkins
From out of the blue, one day last week, when I turned on my computer the opening screen had a Circle with an X and "the user name or password is incorrect" and below that was a box with OK in it. I click on the ok and a second screen appears with three user icons. Two are identical with same name, the other is the Administrator. The newer of the user icons wants a password which I have...

Bypass RunAs by pjw lignon
Dear All, When a non-administrator wants to run an executable, Vista asks for an adminstrator password. If I want to allow an executable to run under a user without having to provide an administrator password, is it possible/allowed in Vista?
