[COLOR=dark-blue]I have McAfee Personal Firewall, which is wonderful, no "in loco parentis" behavior. McAfee advises turning off SP2, and even has a neat little demo on how to do this.

It seems a little silly to dl & install something which doesn't play nicely with the rest of the software, then have to turn it off. So I never installed it. So far I haven't been successfully hacked. McAfee is set to "tight security", and limewire gets through, np. [/COLOR]
