Thanks for your personal insight into these things.

Regarding the files which won't scan, are these being skipped during a full scan or will they not scan individually either? Have you tried dragging them onto the BitDefender 'drop icon'?

On my system memory use is not really an issue as I have 4G to play with and Ubuntu uses only a fraction of Vista anyway. I share your point about Firestarter but found the events window so much easier to use and read for reference purposes rather than having to delve into the system log. Maybe I should have spent more time with ufw, or am I missing an easier way to see active connections and blocked events with this one?
