Have you added the exclusions that I listed above? It fixed the resource problems I had once I did.
Personally, I have my BIOS set to boot the PC for me before I wake up in the morning. This allows all the background tasks to complete before I ever even launch NT. I've made it a habit to have everything up and running at least an hour before I start trading. Then I make an arbitrary sim trade to make sure everything is functioning and no errors before i go live. Nothing like an error message from NT on your first trade of the day to unbalance you for the rest of the session.
Can you help answer these questions from other members on NexusFi?
That is a possible explanation for the trouble I experienced. By the way, no problems with my XP machine, but only with the laptop of my wife, which runs on Vista.
However, I will not add exclusions to any scanner that gets involved by scanning itself ad infinitum. I just feel that the program might better continue to scan itself on other machines, but not on mine.

I should have never tempted fate by posting in this thread. That was bad juju.
The very night I bragged about never having caught a virus, both of my external 1TB RAID drives went "tango-uniform". So far all my attempts at recovering any of the data have been fruitless. I searched like a madman for any viruses, worms, malware, spyware, bots, crapware or betrayware but came up clean. It seems so unlikely that both drives would crash at the same time, but that's the way Murphy's law operates. So much for redundancy, eh?
Amen about sandboxie. I don't use portable apps, but from the testing I've done with Sandboxie it's amazing.
If your email clients, and browsers are sandboxed, you can click to your hearts content, and be safe. You can set sandboxes, to limit what can run in the sandbox, and what can access the internet from the sandbox. You can also block sandboxed programs from accessing your private data.
The only thing to be aware, should you download a virus, and should it run, your system will appear to be infected. BUT, difference is you can reboot, and then instead of an infected machine, you have a clean machine. Deleting the sandbox gets rid of all the nasty stuff.
