Does AVG 8.0 Free detect the mebroot rootkit (the one that changes the MBR?)?
Forget my above post. I went ahead and tried this again, only the second time, I forgot to pause my Google Desktop Search and shut off my...
First question--I'm trying to burn a new image with TI, I only get about 1/4 inch on the progress meter. The partition I'm trying to image is 19...

OK that seems like less time than trying to partition my external hdd that already has XP on it. Lemme ask, tho.. is there a reason why I would...
I posted my last reply before I had a chance to read Grover's. OK so you are saying that DVDs are not as reliable as an external hdd? Hmmm ok...
Thanks. I have already d/l a copy of TI, and I'll have a go at it this weekend. One last question: if I image my drive onto a DVD (or set of...
I’d like to know how True Image and XP’s backup utility work. 1. Do they literally form an image of the entire drive? That would obviously save...
I don't know what you call "cheap," but Newegg is certainly good and trustworthy: --XP Home with SP2 for 90 bucks (and it appears to be the full...

Thanks for the links. I'll definitely check these programs out.
If they start charging. They certainly are keeping their options open (by committing themselves to 6-month blocks only for free useage IIRC),...
Yes I had forgotten about TeaTimer. I had that turned off anyways when I was using Spybot.
OK another read at the Ewido site let me realize that the freeware version doesn't offer real-time protection, so its only function would be for...
I am looking for anti-spyware programs to recommend to folks who are still running Windows 95, 98, and ME. Of the major freeware versions, the...
