I am using the Security Essentials. I suppose like most things related to security i won't know if it is working until it doesn't <s>.

I am not sure about the XML issue as I don't use XML with VFP and as I said, I have never used the taskpane so I am not sure how I will know if there are any issues there. I won't be doing any new development in VFP so if it doesn't come up in maintaining existing apps I won't know about it.


>>I just installed VFP 9.0 on Win 7 and the only prereq it installed was the runtime and it seems happy other than the taskpane/xml thing but since I've never used the taskpane I don't see it will be a problem <s>
