That number seems a little high. I have currently browser, firewall, antivirus, ms word and media player running and the number of processes equal 28. Essential processes for booting xp must be around 16.

Most times they will install when you mistakenly open an infected email attachment etc. Sometimes (rare) they will install bypassing a hole in the internet explorer or the operating system. A software firewall will protect you in most cases by giving a warning that an unknown application is...

I m not an expert but a well designed Trojan doesn¢t only record keystrokes but also the message queue of the operating system etc. so when an application (for example roboform) communicates with internet explorer the password passed to the forms are also intercepted by the Trojan.

It¢s a good reference textbook covering a variety of topics.

If you only need two monitors you can build a very good trading pc for only 600 – 800 $ and you can spend your money on getting two quality monitors. Example … Motherboard ASUS P5B-E plus retail , cpu core 2 duo 4300 or 4400, 2x1 GB of 667 MHz ram, a 250 GB WD sata2 hard disk, a brand...

I haven't read the thread (all 19 pages) but 'don't trade' is also an advice and sometimes a good one (for example when someone can’t estimate the true risks of his position either by lack of knowledge or by overconfidence). :-) And no I m not one of the minority experts with 95% accuracy...

As far as I know it’s the only area in Iraq that takes advantage of the inflow of money instead of blowing up each other so there is hope and potential for them. Taking also into account the area is oil-rich it isn’t surprising there is interest for investments there.

For simple tasks it is easier to make your own custom excel spreadsheet than learning to use an add-in. The add-in will be useful if you need for example garch etc. as it is difficult to implement the optimization algorithm in VBA etc. For a simple calendar you can use something like this...
