What firewall, anti-virus application or security suite is installed? There
are some that cause problems.

Yes, there is an issue with Norton and Vista's System Restore. See MVP Bert
Kinney's information about that:

Problems caused by Symantec - http://bertk.mvps.org/html/symantecdoc1.html

Although I must say your blaming Vista for what is definitely the fault of
Symantec's crappy software is... illogical. But certainly if you don't like
Vista you should go back to XP. You should, however, be aware that Norton
products are crappy in XP, too.

Recommended antivirus programs: NOD32, Kaspersky, Avast (free). The built-in
Windows Firewall is adequate for most people. This recommendation applies
to both Vista and XP.
