See if your antivirus software REALLY works

OK, I'm gonna make this recommendation again: NOD32 Caught 3 little trojans that AVG free missed. You can get a 2 year subscription at 50% off the second year. NOD32 is light and fast. KAV is much heavier, and defintiely much slower. If you like KAV, you'll love NOD32.

? There's links all over the damn place. Look for my posts and the posts of tazdevil, of 06/16/2004 and 06/18/2004, for starters.

The file is months old and pretty redundant by now. There is plently of info and some good links in the thread. Go by them instead.

See if your antivirus software REALLY works

Why be so difficult? There is no consensus. There is no "best". Get off your butt, install some trial versions and see for yourself. My personal take? As I stated above, Kaspersky for all-around detection of the most viruses, trojans, worms, etc. Downside? High system resource usage. For...

See if your antivirus software REALLY works

Socio, try Panda, but it seriously messed up my Internet access. I had to reformat. I'm doing trials of NOD32 and Avast (free version). I really like NOD32 for being light on resources. Avast free is annoying in that infected emails are not dealt with automatically. It always prompts you...

Why does everyone want to test their AV against what is now an old collection of viruses and trojans? A few good AV resources that should give you a better picture: http://www.wilders.org/ http://www.wilderssecurity.com/ http://www.av-comparatives.org/ http://www.virusbtn.com/

Why don't you use Mozilla Firebird?

I use Firebird exclusively now. I haven't visited a Firebird unfriendly site in a long time. It loads quickly for me, even with IE still installed. It really is fantastic. I like Opera, but it seemed to render more incorrect pages than Firebird.

Looking for Good Fax Software

Sorry to hear that. My version of 6.0 has been working fine for many months. I've found their CS to be pretty good, if not exceptionally fast. You may wait a day or two, but you'll get a thoughtful answer.

Looking for Good Fax Software

You found it. FaxTalk is the ONLY thing I found that works. I don't even have distinctive ring from my phone company. FaxTalk picks up, playes my pre-recorded greeting, and switches to fax if it detects one. I tried about five other packages you can find demos for on the web. FaxTalk is the...

Best email spam cleaner?

I used Cloudmark Spamnet last year when it was still free. Easily the best, but now carries a subscription fee. Next, I tried POPfile. That's not so user-friendly. There is a Outlook front end called "Outclass" (or something) that makes it easier to integrate with Outlook, but still. I now...

Backup software

I need a two-part backup solution. I have one file to back up. First, every weeknight, I want to back it up to CDR, burning the file into a new directory or filename (name based on the date) each time. Second, I'd like the file FTP'ed off-site every week. Does anyone have any suggestions for...

Halo for PC released in three days...

Exactly - you're a fragger. Nothing wrong with that. Fragging skill can be countered in BF with the ability to hide and wait in the right spot. And you're right, planes rule some maps. But AA's pretty lethal, too.

Hmm, it's not your rig, either then. Must be you. (j/k) But really, BF is not a fragger's delight. No aliens with dozens of tentacles popping out of closets, no super kill-all weapon, and little close-quarters combat. If it's not your thing, it's not your thing. But that doesn't mean it sucks.
