Yes it will.

Can some one post up a list of process thats should be running in windows xp.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\winlogon.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\services.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\lsass.exe
C:\WINDOWS\system32\svchost.exe (most likely there's several svchost.exe processes running - it's normal)
C:\WINDOWS\Explorer.EXE
C:\WINDOWS\system32\csrss.exe
There also might be i.e. wmiprvse.exe running, which is normal.

When I used to use RegSeeker to flush the icons it always destroyed the transparency effect of the icons on WinXP, I always had to use System Restore or ERUNT to undo it.
So you couldn't re-enable it from the Windows "Visual Effects" options?

I wait for the final version.

13 MB is not bad but still much more then AVG. Take a look at the working set column. Less than 3 MB for AVG.
Yes, but memory usage is not everything. 10Mb is not much, if you got plenty of ram. And it's not a reason for me to change AV.
EDIT: I asked about Avast memory usage from Avast forum and also mentioned about AVG mem usage. I got this info about AVG:
The AVG scanning engine actually runs in the kernel (in the kernel-mode driver avgcore.sys) so you won't see its memory usage in the Task Manager.

I personally don't prefer any software- or codec packs. I rather install them separately.

xs.to is good: http://xs.to/

Can someone that is currently using Avast tell me how many processes it has running?
It depends on what modules do you install with it. If you don't install/use any extra modules, there's 3 processes running for the Avast; GUI process (that shows the system tray icon), automatic update process and the main Avast service process. On my system, currently those 3 processes takes about 13Mb of ram. Update process only takes 292Kb.
Note: Network Shield module doesn't run as a separate process. That's the only extra module i use with Avast.

CeeCee, why is that? I agree, and have mine disabled, did it for a reason, don't remember why.
Some disaster, I think.It's a resource hog and disabling it frees up disk space.
-
Nope.

There's no way that i'm gonna read that. It's just too long and not interesting enough to read. No effence.

Hibernation is not good, so it's better to keep it disabled.

Didn't used it, so doesn't matter.

If I remember correctly when you choose the simple skin or no skin you don't have the features available that you do with the full skin.
There's no differences in features. Only thing is, that with skin, there's more options/buttons at skin itself. With simple interface you found those options under 'Tools' and 'Settings' menu. Those options are not needed though, when you do a scan.

Anyone can tell I love burritos since I've got it under my avatar.
Do you eat 'em often/lot?
-
Well, i like pasta with pasta sauce and sausage cubes (or meatballs). I also like real Turkish kebap (usually with rice) and good old pizza.
This has got to be one of mine.Those pictures make them look SO big and delicious.

What a great movie. -
The only thing I like about avast is that it scans a little faster than AVG/Antivir.
Other than that I like the other 2 better. Antivir updates can be god awful slow and you have to block that dumb ad.
So those gripes leave me to the one I have no issues with: AVG. Its small, fast, and just works.
What issues did you got with Avast?
I personally can't say anything about AVG (or Antivir), 'cause haven't used them. Like i said, i have found Avast! to be good and got no reason (so far) to change it. I have used Avast about 4 years now.
EDIT: Before Avast, i got F-Secure for some time and it was such a resource hog.
-
One of my gripes about Avast though is you have to tick and have enabled for it to scan archives.
Wow, it's so hard task to tick that option...
-
...I have had no problems with it after having it for 3 years now.
So why then change it, if you have found it to be good??

Avast with skins is just confusing to use
You don't have to use a skinned interface. It's very plain and simple with no skin. I personally don't use any skins.
And about the Antivirus programs... It's very hard to say, what's the best one. It's basicly a matter of taste. I have found Avast! to be good and have no reason to change it.
Here's a picture of Avast! with no skin: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/d...face_onskin.png

How do I find out if it's still needed though?
I think that when you first time use it, it should tell you, if your system is safe from DSO vulnerability or not.
-
Don't know if it's needed anymore, but i have got 'DSOStop2' since i bought this current computer back in July 2004.
My 'DSOStop2' protection is still enabled, but i'm not sure if IE7 got that "Data Source Object" vulnerability...? Anyway, i use Opera as my default browser.
You can download DSOStop2 from here: http://www.scanwith.com/download/DSOstop.htm

I got that ZSoft uninstaller, but haven't ever used it. Good old "Add/Remove program" is just fine for me.
-
Go to IE options and 'Advanced' tab. Check option "Allow downloading or installing of files even signature is not valid".
Some disaster, I think.

No i'm not, but it's totally unnecessary to copy & paste almost whole article. We can all click the link and read article from the original site.
