But it's the speed that worries me. Vista makes my Lappy somewhat slower. I have Purchased Sony Vaio with 1GD RAM and 160 GB HDD. I guess it's a fight between looks and speed. And unfortunately, I am not able to decide.

This is usual dilemma that faces us all ....

well, there is a solution, you can have windows XP with all the user interface and Graphics of Vista & AERO functionality of Vista as well...

this gives u speed of XP & interface of vista ...

such tweaked version of XP are not available at any retail store, they are specially customized by hacker community for their own use ...

however, I do have various copies of such XP (don't ask me how i got it )

in case we met, i will be happy to hand it over to you

It worked fine for me.

But I am facing new prob now.Every time I restart my system it restarts scanning automatically and each time it comes out with 1-2 new bugs.
Scanning automatically is not an issue.But I am wondering how come new bugs come in every time

Is it normal with this software?

yes, it it normal .... most of time it has to do with tracking cookies various site places on your computer ...

don't worry about it much ....

also there's option of disabling scan at start of windows ....

Internet Explorer is known to have a lot of security issues. Its known to be very vulnerable to attacks and maleware.

I suggest you use Mozilla Firefox. And you tend to get a lot of security related issues if you visit unsafe sites.

Cheers.

I completely agree to this point. Firefox is much better. Even the graphics comes nice with Vista.
