Thanks very much for all your help chaps, I appear - with your invaluable advice - to have stumbled through to success!

 

No virus warnings, no adverts for anti virus software & everything seems to be running smoothly. :lol::lol::lol::yeah::yeah::yeah:

It is to be observed that 'angling' is the name given to fishing by people who can't fish.

If GOD had NOT meant us to go fishing, WHY did he give us arms then??


(If you can't help out someone in need then don't bother my old Dad always said! My grandma put it a LITTLE more, well different! It's like peeing yourself in a black pair of pants she said! It gives you a LOVELY warm feeling but no-one really notices!))

Avg free and spybot had them for years with no probs

 

 

same as that, plus a little hjt and you will be fine,

i have built over 400 computers and every one has had this sequence installed, and the comebacks are minimal.

I knew I could rely on you guys :)

 

Now I have something to work with, I shall set to putting your help into practice.

 

Incidentally, is NAV really that bad! :(

 

 

in my opinion nav isn't that bad as long as you know how to configure it in your system registry.

basically there are two things you need to do to run nav and that is don't run it and don't install it and that should work wonders.

it was the same as the old kazzar it left you with a dead computer.

Get Firefox Here

 

the biggest advantage is that its a heck of alot more secure than internet explorer, heres an example

 

internet explorer goes to exploitme.com (imaginary url btw) and because of internet explorer security being so bad the website sends 10 viruses to your computer

 

go to the same website with firefox and it will pick up 0 viruses unless you download somthing from this site then firefox cant protect. thats when nod32 and spybot come in to play

 

the thing is firefox is just alot more secure than internet explorer but thats not to say you will never get a virus by using firefox, to date i have never had a single one but theres always the day some clever git will find a way around firefox but the security issues are always updated by firefox developers alot more than internet explorer are and by the time the exploit is out there its fixed :clap2:

 

p.s theres not a huge learning curve with firefox its almost identical in every single way and probably alot easier to use, and has a few nice features and it automaticly blocks popups that might be a security risk

I once tried a free demo of a spyware/adware program that somebody suggested (I run AVG, Spybot and Adaware with no troubles) and mysteriously, this program seemingly found about twenty "problems" that the others had missed, and which could be cured if I paid for it. I have absolutely no doubt that these were complete inventions, so if Spybot and Adaware can't find it between them, then I wouldn't worry.

I steadfastly stick with IE without any problems at all. I refuse to join the Firefox bandwaggon because it is too trendy by far. I have never had any problems and I use both Kazaa-Lite and Emule.
