I’m not sure what to call it, but we could use a post that lists these things users should know.  If someone has time to write it, here’s the list:

– Make sure your clock is set correctly.

– Microsoft Security Essentials.  This never got written up proper.

– Warning not to mess around with your wallet.dat file.  It’s a database file, it’s not as simple as you think.  In this Beta version, we haven’t had time to try and tinker-proof it yet.  It may not work as expected if you start swapping it around.

The clock part will be covered in the next release (0.3.11 or higher).  SVN rev 141 pops up a message box if your clock is too far off.
