    ya know, i like this program!! tried it after the avg merge and found it to be just as good. i read up on it and it seems to have a good detection rate too. (to me, detection rate is EVERYTHING, thats why i use avira antivir, but thats another topic). another plus, let it start with windows, it's in your task bar, and auto updates. the on demand scanner is lightning quick. did i say auto update? wow! lots of options, even in the free version. easy on resources. almost too good to be true. so far i am pleased with it. there is a pre release version out right now. http://www.superantispyware.com/?rid=3011

    if you're bummed out about losing avg anti spyware, this may make you happy again.

     

    edit: i said auto update...web site says no. sorry. really don't understand it, mine seems to update by itself.

    Revo Uninstaller 1.60 out

    actually the hunter mode is a pretty cool feature. in your start menu, open hunter mode. it puts an icon on your desktop. now drag the cross hairs to a program icon (either from desktop, quick launch, or from the start menu). a context menu will appear with several options which include: uninstall, kill process, properties, search with google, stop auto starting and a few others. i'd show you a screenshot, but not really sure how to. (hint, hint). just give it a try, i think you'll find it useful.

    hi writeaway.

    i got the info below from avg website. i hope it helps.

     

    Most of today's viruses (Trojan horses, I-Worms, Worms, etc) create their own files which contain nothing but a body of the virus. In such cases the only way to remove the infection is to delete the infected file. When you moved the file to the AVG Virus Vault it was deleted from its original location, coded, and then saved in a non-executable file in a hidden folder. Your PC is no longer infected then.

     

     

    If you are not missing any data file and your applications are running, then you can delete these vaulted files from the AVG Virus Vault program.

     

    You can do it selectively from AVG Virus Vault program -> select files -> delete. Or you can delete all AVG Virus Vault contents in one go:

     

    * Double-click the AVG icon on your desktop -> choose the "History" menu and select the "Virus Vault" option -> click on the "Empty Vault" button.

    so avg free 8 is out, anyone tried?

    I never expected the "boogeyman" would come in the evening bearing a possible decision tie-breaker.

    Thank you for contributing to our thread and growing accumulation of very desirable "work-arounds".

    That eliminates one more forced "toolbar" possibility versus forced "nag screen".

    With the "gift" and the personal assessment I guess the "boogeyman" isn't so bad after all.

    At least I see a concrete alternative to AVG 7.5,if I need one.

    I shall sleep better tonight. A ray of light pierces through the darkness.

    P.S. Thanks "boogeyman" you are welcome to drop in more often.

    Never thought I would ever be saying that.He was the greatest behavior modification threat there was when I was a kid.Still is,at least for me.
