This software is a definite no-go for me. I installed it, and it slowed my computer down to a crawl (XP SP2, 512MB RAM). Then the next time I...
Is there also the possibility it could be Windows Messenger spam? In dealing with other people's computers I've seen a lot of these popups just...
Having just installed it and, as far as I know, having a clean system, it hasn't had the opportunity to show me what it can do. However, I could...
The main reason for the difference is that the other browsers could be considered company-created, while Firefox is open source software. As...
The way I interpret the initial statement, "unsafe" would be defined as any browser not running an anti-phishing filter. I agree with MikeBCdahe...
What program (HIPS software I assume) were you running that gave you the popups? I don't know if this is related, but I did notice that after...
If you've deleted the AOL programs, file folders and have cleaned the AOL garbage from the registry, you should be in good shape. Even if there...
Hey it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it. No need to be snippy Skippy... that was something called humor... joking around... and, by the...
OK, let me clarify my statement somewhat. First of all, there is no panacea no matter what kind of security software a person is running, and I...
I'm not talking about testing or using already known samples. Of course at least one of the AV's is going to have the signatures for those. I'm...
It's a scary thought to think that people who choose the look of an icon over functionality and effectiveness are turned loose on the net without...
With all the talk about heuristics, have any of you ever caught an actual virus (confirmed virus, not just that the AV said it was malware) via...
Any program you deny will not have internet access. With Kerio most, if not all of your programs will only need outbound access to function....
You're absolutely right. Turn this program loose on a computer infested with all kinds of crapware and you'd see what it can do. I clean badly...
Erik, You're right on adding apps. That's one feature that bugged me, as you couldn't add applications until they attempted to access the net....
I've watched the behavior of this exe file, and I believe it's the automatic updater for AIM 6+. Most of the time I use the AIM 5.9 version, and...
No. The behavior blocking in Kerio works much like your basic HIPS programs such as SSM, Process Guard etc. It is more concerned with...
And nothing like a Yahoo email address to give it that professional-looking touch ;)
Just for info: wextract.exe is a process associated with the operating system, not malware. interop.shell32.dll is associated somehow with...
This sounds a lot like the problem I used to have with Microsoft Antispyware when it scanned my Hosts file. I used the MVPS Hosts File so it was...
I wouldn't recommend this program just from my own experience, but this may have been something simply particular to my computer... idk. When I...
I've found just the opposite to be true. Of course, there are some forms of malware that any AS will have problems removing, and sometimes it's...
I've tried every free firewall that has been mentioned in this forum, but I keep coming back to Kerio (Sunbelt Personal Firewall now). I quit...
I think that is because the installation program automatically shuts off the Windows Firewall if it is on. It seems I remember reading that in...
Isn't Avira's cleaning capability a moot point when every AV company offers free cleaners (including Kaspersky, NOD32, Dr. Web. etc)? So you can...
Separate names with a comma.
