Aethelbert 1 Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 I use both of these and they work great for me. I tryed spybot before i got ad aware. I must say ad aware is sooo much better. spybot doesn't catch nearly as much and it doesn't even work at all sometimes. The first time i used ad aware i was really supprised about how much was on my computer. nortons will find things and won't be able to remove them so i do still have about 7 things that nortons finds and can't remove...i wish nortons would fix this. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Actually its better to use both Adaware and spybot or even more if you can find good programs. One will catch stuff the other misses and vise versa. I use both and it seems to work well. Also I would like to recomend a free antivirus program called AVG. It seems to be working great for me and its free. Go to download.com and search for it. Zone alarm is a great firewall and a free one I use Ad-Aware, SpySweeper, Window Washer and avast! Anti-Virus. Work quite qell as a sort of anti-spyware/anti-virus 'cocktail'. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nalioth 405 Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 (edited) If you don't play Windows games, Linux is now a viable alternative to Windows. (Windows game compatibility is coming along, but isn't there yet) Its license allows it to be freely used (no authorization or piracy checks involved). There are no known viruses or trojans or malware for it. Every program you use in Windows is available in linux (aside from the Windows games). You can find a list that matches them here: http://www.linuxrsp.ru/win-lin-soft/table-eng.html and here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WhatWindowsUsersWant Games? Oh yeah, there are lots of games that run under Linux. The game company that makes Quake releases linux versions and so do some other companies. There are also may games written expressly for linux (no, not just solitaire ) Now for the evil truth (or "why i use linux instead of windows") I've used linux (or some other unix type OS) since 2000. I just got tired of windows and all the crap. I personally feel that spending 10% of my time keeping up with firewall, antivirus, antimalware, etc and between 15% and 30% of my computers available power running those programs is a waste. Did you know that if you run XP or Vista, Microsoft controls your computer? Every day your computer 'phones home', reports its information and the Microsoft server gives it the "Okay" to continue running for another day. It's called "Windows Genuine Advantage" (but it's not). What happens when the server goes down, and your computer can't reach it on the daily call? Why, your computer stops running in the way you are familiar with. Do you really want an operating system on your computer that depends on a large corporation saying how long you can use it? http://www.informationweek.com/news/showAr...cleID=201802447 http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&saf...amp;btnG=Search Viruses are known to exist for Linux, but mostly they exist in laboratory environments as "proof of concept". Linux uses a 'limited user' arrangement, where no user has all the privileges. The linux user can gain privileges temporarily to install programs or perform other system maintenance, when necessary. Windows installs in such a way that everyone has "superuser" privileges all the time. This allows malware to take advantage of Windows. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Linux_computer_viruses http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&saf...amp;btnG=Search Oh, here's a final lovely thought: Do you folks who use Windows like having your activities monitored and catalogued by Microsoft? Your machine is uniquely identified by the network card chip or CPU ID in it. Microsoft catalogues all sorts of data from your computer and stores them against this number. http://news.softpedia.com/news/Forget-abou...oft-58752.shtml Linux doesn't 'phone home' at all, w/o your knowledge. None of your information is tracked (unless you allow it). Ubuntu won't make you jettison Windows immediately. The installer allows you to have a "dual boot" system. What this means is that you can choose Windows or Linux when you start your computer. I dual booted windows and linux from 1997 and finally I'd figured out enough of linux to dump windows. Todays Linux is much more user friendly than it was 10 years ago, and many more programs exist for it. http://www.ubuntu.com Linux for human beings.

vjor 2 Posted November 11, 2007 Report Share Posted November 11, 2007 What nalioth says is the Truth, I usually run windos xp on the pc Because of the wife, but if not just plain Linux on the box, by the way give your self a favor and if you have to use windows drop vista and get a copy of XP and drop explora for good, get at list Firefox http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/ or opera http://www.opera.com/products/desktop/ or get both life is a lot better after you do that.

Azrial 1,091 Posted November 12, 2007 Report Share Posted November 12, 2007 i use avg free anti virus just search it on google. Yes! I use AVG free for several machines with good results. It is updated almost every day. I like Tread Housecall as well, but the on-line version will not protect you, it will simply find out if you are infected. The free download is time limited. I also use Adaware and have had very good luck with it. But I also highly recommend AVG AntiSpyware, it is available as a free version as well and works quite well. I also recommend free download CCleaner. It will pull a huge amount of crud off your system and also has a good registry cleaner. Google will find any of this software, and remember, you can run more then one antispyware but only one antivirus. The exception being trend Housecall on-line, in conjunction with an installed antivirus program. I have had great luck with all of this software on dozens and dozens of machines.

lastlaugh 0 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 (edited) I think this actually may be my first post on the forum (even though I have been a lurker here for some time), but I had to post in this thread. I am a Network Infrastructure Technician / Network Security Administrator for the USAF (active), and have been into computer and networking since the DOS days. We provide network access to almost every government agency at some point. The AF has sent me to just about every networking and network security training available, and I try to share that knowledge whenever possible. I am open to any computer/networking questions anyone on the forum may have. Just msg me and I will provide email addy. To get to the point of this thread, I see alot of good advice here.....and some not so good. I'm not claiming to be the burning bush of knowledge, but I refuse to put anything with Norton, McAfee, or AOL on any of my computers. Norton and McAfee are such big memory hogs that they would slow even the fastest computer, not to mention they haven't been even in the top 5 in detection tests done by the DOD. (Even though alot of the military still uses a heavily modified version of it, for now). Don't even get me started on AOL! Let me break down what I run on all my windows computers: ANTIVIRUS: AntiVir Free Edition- Equal or better in detection to AVG, but far surpasses it in memory usage. I stopped using AVG with the ver 8 update due to the memory leaks and massive hit on system resources. (Avast is also very good) BROWSER: Firefox- not as fast as opera, but I like the security and plugins avail.; stopped using IE years ago and will never go back. Think about it. Virii are programmed to affect the most people possible. What do you think most people use to access the internet? There has been a major improvement with IE7, but still not enough to convince me (Opera is very good alternative to Firefox...and faster) SPYWARE: AdAware free edition/Spybot - as was previously mentioned, use both for the best protection. I also recommend Ccleaner for general system cleanup. Those 4 pieces of software alone will correct 90% of most people's problems. For general users, Nalioth hit the nail on the head by recommending linux, and yes, what he is saying about Windows is true. The best advice i could give a basic user (someone who just uses computer for internet email, and office documents, definitely try linux. You will have no more virus, pop-up, spyware issues, (and no more defragging!). Edited December 2, 2008 by lastlaugh Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Azrial 1,091 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 I tried a new Anti-Spyware program the other to get rid of a nasty bit of spyware (Really Malware) that Spybot would find but not remove. It was MalwareBytes. I am very dubious of new anti-spyware but this stuff has really impressed me with the 15-20 machines I have tried it on! It is a free download and will work in manual mode if you decide not to upgrade to the paid version. I suggest that you try it! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
22_Shooter 1,560 Posted December 4, 2008 Report Share Posted December 4, 2008 I just downloaded and used "CCleaner" for the first time, and WOW! It removed 81MB of junk . Or at least I hope it was junk . Everything I've read about it said that in it's default configuration, it only deletes temporary type files, so I think I'm safe.

Wotan1105 7 Posted April 9, 2009 Report Share Posted April 9, 2009 Eset Nod32 seems to be my new favorite AV. AVG always annoyed me, so does Symantec. And anything "Norton" stay away from. Needed something 64 bit to run on Vista and Windows 7. Nod32 working great so far. Can check it out from http://eset-nod32-free.blogspot.com and is worth buying. Tune Up Utilities 2009 Like it for the registry cleaner/defrag among other things, also worth buying. ConvertXtoDVD Use this probably more than anything, convert avi dixv xvid among others into DVDs. And yes Windows 7 kicks ass, Vista was a steaming pile I never even bothered using. Seems like they finally got it right this time around. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Also, if you use a theme like LittleFox or MicroFox and can still read the menus, that'll free up some screen-space inside your browser window.And there's a catch with this many plug-ins relying on their own connections: if you log on from a hotspot, you'll have a lot of "Invalid Security Certificate" errors as these extensions try to connect to their databases and are turned away by the logon requirement through the portal.
