Interesting update Amiga. I think I've already mentioned that I used the Comodo/Avast combo in the past and it worked really well until I got hit...
I noticed this pop up too and wasn't sure what to make of it as I disabled sound on avast. It's there for about 20 seconds and if that's the only...
I use Steam and I was wondering if there's a way to make it more secure. I've tried making it a guarded application with AppGuard, but it won't...
I've just dropped Private FW for Windows FW and it's much lighter on my system. I've also reduced my shields on Avast to just the File System...
I recall Steve Gibson from Security Now saying that there was pretty much no security on Mega. While they offer a massive amount of storage, I...
When I bought AppGuard, I offered a relative one of the licenses and suggested he use the trial. When I told him him a little about it he seemed...
Re: Removing Private Firewall(All sorted out) I just worked it out. I had AppGuard in locked down mode and it didn't uninstall the PF properly....
I decided to switch to Windows firewall and uninstall Privatefirewall but I found after I uninstalled it, that I could no longer connect to the...
Bo, what you said their sums it up perfectly; it didn't feel like a difficult choice for you rather it was a very easy choice. If a person is...
I did turn off my AV for about 15 minutes last night and I didn't notice any difference in speed. It's safe to say that I didn't give it long...
Years ago (about 10-11 years ago) I was one of those people my OS was Millenium and I would download music, games and films from Kazaa. I used a...
@GrafZeppelin, what you've said mirrors other comments that have been made that when you drop AV you're not suddenly going to get swamped by a...
So I took off my AV and after 15 minutes I bottled it and put it back on. It just seemed too weird for me.
I'm finding PFW is blocking a lot of Netbios(out) and UPnP(in). I'm not sure why this happening and if Windows FW would block it. I can...
The second one is still open but wouldn't be in 30 days. While it looks tempting, with what's out there for free I would find it diffcult to...
I have also come very close to just using Windows Firewall. I know a number of regular pc users that have never had a problem with it. The thing...
If I did try it for 30 days, I'd miss all the great offers available at the moment and it'd cost me a fortune for an annual subscription....
I've only just found about Ax64 and I've not used system restore type of software before apart from the one built into Windows which I've come to...
The stealth ports which you've mentioned a number of times.
I don't think there's much in Private and Comodo both are very light. As someone else has mentioned, WSA is probably a lighter AV but you have to...
How do you change PF to stealth ports? I can't find the option and it appears that I have stealth ports by default.
Must admit, avast is pretty light, I removed some of the shields that I didn't need to make it even lighter. I'm just left with the web, file,...
I've settled on Avast, Privatefirewall, Sandboxie, AppGuard, EMET and Ad Muncher with Hitman Pro and Shadow Defender on demand. This set up works...
This is great news. I remember when the best game on Linux was SuperTux Kart...
It was only like that for a couple of minutes and there haven't been any problems before or since.
