vista windows defender and curse client
The Windows Defender that comes enabled in Vista does not like the curse client. On logging into vista, an icon shows up in system tray that indicated that a program in startup was blocked. It says it was blocked by windows defender. When researching on Microsoft site, it says this is most likely because the program is not "signed" by the creator of the program. Is there a version of curse client that is? If I have to manually approve it to run each time I start my pc, it doesn't seem worth it to pay for the premium ;-)

No, there is no signed version, as getting any program signed by Microsoft costs wayyyyyy too much money. What you could try is telling the Curse Client not to automatically start with Windows. Tools, Options, I believe.

Besides, if you are like me, and want to save all your bandwidth for your game, running the CC (or any other internet scanning software other than an antivirus) is not in your best interest. On the other hand, if you have the Ah-nuld of computers and internet speeds through the wazoo, then it wouldn't affect you that much.

Why do you want the program to start when after a fresh boot to begin with?  You shouldn't be trying to update that often to begin with....
