That sounds more reasonable. The EULA makes it sound like the updates are automatic and that the user has no control over them, and no choice in...
I recommend trying Kubuntu instead of Ubuntu. If you are new to Linux, and coming from Windows, I think you will like it better-- Kubuntu uses...
I decided to try Maxthon last night. I started the installer and was presented with the licence agreement. I started scanning it and this part...
I am using Windows 2000 Pro with SP4. Today I followed some tips and was able to close ports 135 and 445. To verify that it worked, I typed...
Many web sites sell OEM and/or slightly outdated software cheap. Sometimes these are really good deals because the older version is much better...
I agree with you. But for some people the choice is between a free program and none at all. It was for those people that my post was intended....
I agree. I don't consider the use of imaging programs alone as sufficient for backup purposes. For full backups I use BASK, and for more...
By the way, there is also a free solution you may want to consider: SystemRescueCd http://www.sysresccd.org/
I agree. And K-Meleon does have security holes. To make it safe you must manually patch it. The problem is that the patches don't come from the...
I have True Image 8.0. Although I was initially impressed with it, when I restored from an image, three programs no longer worked and had to be...
That's what I suspected. ZA Free would not be my first choice because it lacks some features that other free firewalls have. For example, in the...
A related question that is also of interest is: "Is ZA Free a good firewall?'
When you find a file that's infected with one of these, please submit it here: VirusTotal www.virustotal.com/xhtml/index_en.html You will...
You can probably assume that all of them have leaked into the wrong hands. Maybe not, but it seems likely considering how long it has been going...
The fact that renaming the Grisoft folder allows the affected systems to boot normally indicates that the problem is likely with AVG itself. My...
My ISP uses Level3's network. I frequently see connection attempts from other Level3 users in my firewall log. So what I did is looked up the IP...
Any idea how the little beast gets onto the computer? I did a search the other day on Google and found very little info. I did find links to our...
Thanks. Looks like it probably wouldn't hurt to save copies of the installers for the last several versions, just in case. Phil
You're welcome. Lucky for you that I happened to read your message. :) Since you got AVG working again, go ahead and keep using it. But if...
You're welcome. I suspected that would work because the same basic thing happened to me back in July. Now, in case you haven't figured it out...
What's the best free version of Sygate Personal Firewall? I want to make sure that I download a copy before it disappears (if I don't already...
Try this: Go into Safe Mode and rename the AVG folder. Just rename the "Grisoft" folder to "Grisoft123," or anything really. Then try to...
Hi Rich, That's good. But what if the trojan is smart (or just lucky), and uses some application for which I have a permit rule? By...
Hi, I think something might have slipped onto my computer that several anti-virus and anti-trojan computers have failed to detect. So I am...
Unfortunately, no. What worries me is that the ISP the IP address belongs to is known to be a haven for criminals involved in phishing....
