I saw a thread from a couple months ago where someone said MBAM can't scan or do updates under a limited user account. That's a problem for me...

Does the ewido online scan (http://www.ewido.net/en/onlinescan/) detect all of the viruses/spyware that AVG Anti-Virus does?
If you wanted to be certain a Windows computer was not infected with any viruses/spyware/trojans/etc, which scanners would you use?
Are those 3 still the top free AV scanners? (seemed like they were last time I checked a couple years ago) I'm using AntiVir right now, but I...

What were the differences between CHX 2.8.2 and 3.0?

Oh yeah, you're right. Even if I didn't have those 2 rules, those packets would be blocked as unsolicited. The reason I put those rules in is...
Stem: the first rule you quoted I think is for Netbios packets that my Windows 2000 and XP machines broadcast over the network. I am not using...
I will try the updated drivers within the next couple days and let you know if I still see that problem.
Here are my rules. All of them are set to "Lowest" priority. All of the ICMP rules are set to "Any" for the MACs, IPs, and Ports. Let me know...
Is this a bug in CHX? It should not be allowing these unsolicited packets if I have the ICMP stateful inspection turned on. And actually, those...
