cookies ads permissions

Since I can't install my Norton Internet Security to manage cookies selectivly and ads and the beta virus software recommended by MS doesn't have have ad and cookie control I am going to be forced to uninstal Vista from my machine. Hopefully Norton will have a product available soon that is compatible with Vista.
Also annoying is the permissions that is needed to enter sytem folders. This might be nice on a network, but there are a lot on computers out there set up for a single user. The user security needs to have a simple way to turn it off completely on a sole user machine.

NIS2007 is going to be Vista compatible, I do not know at this time if they are going to update any of their older versions to be so (somehow I doubt it, but stranger things have happened). It won't be out until around the same time Vista is released.

Those permissions are designed to protect an average user from themselves. You can disable UAC from the tools tab of msconfig, and set folder options in the control panel to allow users to see hidden and system files (on the view tab). Most users have no need to get into these folders, networked or not, and the settings should be left as is.

UAC is turned off and I still need to play games to get into folders. Having to set permissions for each individual folder is really ridiculous. After all, I own my computer, not MS. Those users that need to be "protected" can be. There still should be a simple way fo those of us that want access can get it on our own machine. I love customizing my machine for my use and benefit. If Vista is going to block this, then it is an operating system that should not be allowed on the market.
Any company that is blocking access to portions of a persons privately owned machine is up to no good no matter what excuse they can come up with.
