@Konata Izumi - Very nice setup. I think you are all set.

 

done with a-square to bloated

 

Whattttttttttttt? "8GB Ram and no problem" to copy you from the Spy Terminator thread

 

yep. I'm done!

i tested that monster in my xp system and i saw the smoke

 

if I have 8gb RAM:
I'd go Linux and use Windows in virtual machine to run my games

 

Which monster do you speak of?

Good to hear

I have 8gb of RAM and I wouldn't. I prefer using Windows to Linux. I used several distros of Linux in the past and its boring

 

lol I prefer Linux but I just can't live without my games on windows... I'm a noob gamer though

 

LOL Konata I understand.

 

Hammer I thought my secrets were safe with you my friend

 

You should have told me

 

I know lol But its hard to say something that I myself heard for the 1st time dont you think

 

Switched to GoogleDNS. Put WOT into Firefox.

 

I am using Google dns for a while..Its pretty fast man

 

LOL. It all depends. You have to psyche yourself and its easy

 

Still using OA firewall w/HIPS features on one computer, but may soon switch that machine over to Privatefirewall minus Process Detection and System Anomaly Detection.

 

But I thought you were worried about protection against keyloggers with those features turned off in Privatefirewall?.

 

I'm worried about an oncoming vehicle crossing the centerline and hitting me head-on, but I don't stop driving, you know?

 

LOL Page. I was just asking my friend because it seemed to be an issue.

 

What is that saying, chaotic... I don't have issues, I have subscriptions?

Seriously, I would call it more of a concern.
Something that I try to pay attention to.
But I think other layers compensate.
Thank you for your concern, my friend.

 

Hahaha ok Page good to hear

 

Also I like what Boost says here.
And J_L here.
Wise words.

 

Good. I didn't think you needed an anti-keylogger with you using sandboxie anyways.

 

a sandbox or hips is more than enough to block keyloggers
