Firefox and Opera on Debian Sarge. Mostly Firefox, though. However, I might switch in the near future because I am not very fond of the new...
My mother has been having trouble with her computer for several weeks. It's an old Compaq Presario with Windows 98 SE. My brother was thinking...
Since he's using a modem (he's a dialup user), where do you propose that he install the router? Phil
I am not even considering AntiVir. I've used it in the recent past and it drove me nuts. When updating, it often wanted to download large...
It's interesting that you mentioned DeepFreeze since last night I was thinking about using Shadow Surfer as a possible solution. I don't know,...
I think that fans of Win2K would probably disagree. The advantage of Win2K (one of them, anyway) is that there is much less bloat that needs to...
Since Avast is already installed, perhaps there's a way to minimize the impact it has on the system? When I installed it, I set it up with the...
Thanks for all your replies. I appreciate all of your suggestions. I am inclined to try AVG. Unfortunately, it is a rather huge download for...
Personally, I wouldn't bother. What I would do is the opposite. I would get a virus scanner for Linux, like F-Prot for Linux, and use it to scan...
My aunt has a computer that is barely able to run WinXP. Her computer came with Win98, and only has 128 MB of RAM. Some fool, who think's he's a...
Out of all of these programs, I was attracted to SafeXP because it runs on Win9x. Most of the others (except for BugOff) do not. Well, I tried...
Next time, run Total Uninstall (or similar) before/after making any changes with such tweaking programs. That way, you will know exactly what was...
You completely misunderstood the error message that you saw. What you saw was simply a web server problem. It had nothing to do with installing...
Yes, thank you, that's probably the kind of behavior I am seeing. Phil
Well, I kind of figured that. And normally I'd let it go at that. But I don't understand why watcher.exe needs to modify any of the running...
Having read about it on here, I installed Tiny Watcher about a week ago. Then, a few days ago, I installed ProcessGuard free v3.410. At first,...
How RAM-hungry is it? Phil
I tried both of these earlier today. WWDC seems buggy, and it was reporting that services were enabled that I had just disabled using Seconfig...
~removed full quote of post just above~ Hi Jimmy, Are you, by any chance, using a router? Phil
Hi there, fcukdat. Why do you hunt malware? Is it sort of like a hobby for you, or do that as part of your job? BTW, thanks to your post, I...
This is a problem that I've also been struggling with. Since Win98 no longer gets security updates, I've thought about getting people to upgrade...
Although it's not on that list, Kerio PF 2.1.5 would probably score very low. That's because it's a pure firewall and not a firewall/HIPS like...
I think you mean "MB" and not "K." Right? Phil
Limited account, especially if I will need to go online. Phil
I like Debian. It is very stable and it comes with lots of software. Many distros keep things simple by making decisions for you. Debian leaves...
Separate names with a comma.
