1) it's updated every time a new os comes out, so it'll work with whatever version of windows you have. i have win7, and it boots up as fast as new.
2) i've never had a virus, so i couldn't tell you. but maybe the software is just that good
3) cmiiw, but i believe having more than one anti-virus program installed will cause issues. each program will see the other as a threat
4) it's free

I am by no means a computer wizard even though I did it 12 years ago and it has changed so much I am way behind on the times. I had to reload my laptop at work with Avast. Think I caught a virus off of C-list, but cant say for sure. I only go to known safe sites.
I have Kapersky on my home computer and havent had any problems.
What kind of Bezel you talking about? I know it not the door bezels that I have been looking for on ebay. I found some for the 89-95 but none for the 84-88.

I got it off JDM715, I believe. He's a member on here with a 'used toyota parts' store on Ebay. He only had the one, that I know of.... But you could look on the classified ads here(I tried that for a while... I'm sure one will come up), or Ebay motors, or Ebay in general, or Craigslist.org, or maybe some of the other 4wd sites?

CHIRP, CHIRP! LOL....
Viper, good one, wired SO CLEAN by this dude! 2way, 2 remotes, door locks, 2 kill switches... Just around 300$ w/labor! I feel good about that.
Have some questions on some Radio stuff, though. Looks like this guys prices on Kenwood, Clarion, JVC, Pioneer, ALLLLLL much cheaper than even Best Buy! He has a Kenwood, normally like 180$ at Best Buy(looked it up) with Sirius and MP3-USB, 98$! Not sure I can pass that up! lol.
Anyway, now I can take the top off with a lil less concern. He wired all through to the side windows, rear window(for shock and available roll down), put the HORN where I wanted it(Much harder for him to get to, so I was grateful! lol.
Did I do good? lol.

Granted, ....it's OBVIOUSLY more risky in L.A....... but I can't tell you how many times I've left/lost something, even a wallet a couple times, and it was ALWAYS returned. True, that's not always the case........ But remember, not that I'm trying to throw 'L.A. Poison in your well', hahaha.....BUT, ... One day, you might walk out and some tweeker has yoinked it from ya! Not telling you what to do, Baddest, ...but really? Is your wanting to believe the best in people in your region, area, worth possibly losing something you've worked so hard on/for? I mean,...you need a key to start it, right? Why not lock it? lol.
PS> All last summer, ....I had my top off for long periods. NOTHING was taken.... even my speakers/boxes. But as I add THOUSANDS of dollars, totaling it all up, in products, upgrades, modifications, parts and HARD WORK? It becomes more and more important to me that I do EVERYTHING to protect something I've worked so hard on, so hard for and so hard to keep, lol. It could still happen.... but I'ma do my best to prevent it, ya know? That's why I went with the 2-way instead of just standard Viper.

Totally get that, one thing that worries me about the first gen is that if I can break into it in about 45 seconds with a coat hanger than imagine what someone can do who knows what they're doing. I am guessing it's not too hard to hot-wire it either, but haven't tried that yet.

theft seems to be getting worst around my neck of the woods lately. was so bad last few years but this year just jumped 10x. having my cat stolen not too long ago got me doing some counter measures. i se to install alarms in the past so the way you said how its wired up, you should be good and the 2way should be good. just done make the stock sensors to sensitive or you will get to many false alarms and you leaving to check on your truck too often. always something im afraid off.

NVM, I got it, lol. I musta hit this lil weird window in the top right and it just went all 'FULL SCREEN' ON ME! lol. DANG i need a new monitor! GRATEFUL for what I have, ...an old samsung syncmaster.... but GEEESH! THE SQUARE THING, ....IT'S JUST LIKE, OUT, YA KNOW? hahaha.
Anyway, First Gen 4Runners easy to break into? Please clarify that, SC, .....not being sassy, lol... just curious if you mean 1st gen runners. I've never found that so... every time a tow truck has had to get in, they can't do it with a slim jim, they can't get in the window way unless they use the air bag in the door thing. They show up and go "Oh man, not this..... Gotta get the air bag"... The side windows aint easy either, ...and from what I know, the 4runners in these years have a prevention TAB that runs across the top, unlike the trucks for some reason... Anyway, NO MATTER WHAT, I want all I can get regarding security! lol.
