Mcafee V Pro integration??

It does makes sense actually, Years ago intel talked about having the ability to have your virus scanner outside of the OS on the motherboard, making it nearly impossible for malware to disable and difficult to circumvent. No one has developed the idea so Intel have probably decided to do it itself. Agreed Mcafee isn't the best choice, but if it works having your AV running at a higher level that your OS is a great idea and should make rootkits and the like harder to implement and easier to identify.

Just Bought one from Tesco for £30

Bought one of these as a spare phone for when I'm camping or at Festivals. Bought from Tesco's after the review on the Gadget show the other week, only £30 and easily unlocked to put it onto Orange. Great solid little box and rated more solid than the JCB by tests on the gadget show.
