Hi Dave. Even though I've still got XP on a drive, I don't use it any longer, 
but when I did, I installed a program named Process Guard, which prevents 
things being installed unless you specifically allow it. See the link below 
for where you get it from.

I had no problems with updating 3rd party security apps while it was up and 
protecting the system, except for Zone Alarm updates, where I had to 
temporarily disable it, so that the firewall updated properly. As XP is soon 
to come lose it's security support from MS, I expect that Zone Alarm too will 
cease providing updates, as I found out on my ME install, when MS dropped it.

Nigel.

btw: I've now got Qtractor built on Archlinux, thanks to a patch that Rui sent 
to me, that allows using gcc 4.3, which was the problem causing make to fail. 
I'm currently playing around with it.
