    What A/V are you running? Trend pccillian and Trend Officescan at the
    office doesn't mind it one bit [and yes, it goes without saying that
    when I'm yanking RC versions on and off, I'm either behind a firewall or
    totally not connected to the internet. :-)

    And yes, while I have been "warned" many a time, I never have had issues
    with programs functioning even though I've installed them under one
    build, pulled the build off and applied the next one.
