That thread title had me confused till I clicked the link - was wondering how the kept the cigarette dry let alone smoke it As someone who used to work for a company fixing hi-fis, cd/dvd players, video players, I have some sympathy with them. Equipment from heavy smokers homes was invariably damaged due to the grotty smoke residue all over everything. Where they lost me was on the passive smoking bit, equipment from smokers homes did stink but don't think that quite classes as passive smoking

I have been thoroughly happy with KMPlayer (based on MPlayer) for a long time, plays everything and nothing else I've tried has come close to it

Definite +1 from me, has bugged me for ages that it can't be minimised at all when scanning or overwriting.

You realise that when you deleted the files to the recycle bin there will still be copies of those files in the original location (just marked deleted) that can be recovered. Moving a file from one place to another just puts a copy of the file in the new location (in this case the recycle bin) leaving the original in place on the HD and therefore easily recovered. Besides as far as I'm aware Windows renames files that are in the recycle bin so if you were recovering those files I don't think they would have the original filenames.

Congrats granddad

Yup just got the update (and separate program update) too, just hope it does the trick and fixes the update issues

Have just unsubscribed from their mailing list and was amused by the message on the unsubscribe page:

What version of Word, what OS???

Knew you guys would love it

That wasn't 25 mins updating, that was just 25 mins scanning for updates before it aborted (was longer than 25 mins but that's where it was at last time I looked at it). Knew I should have kept quiet, was working great till I opened my gob

Ok I take it all back. Sod's law as soon as I post saying it's been updating fine the very next update takes 25 mins 'scanning for updates' again

Funnily enough I was just reading about that last night, less that excellent review lol: http://geeks.pirillo.com/profiles/blogs/ubuntu-910-yeah

Here's my theory having noticed Recuva showing up internet pics/graphics myself, despite using CCleaner with secure delete. Assuming you have your internet cache set to a sensible value, say 80-100Mb, after a while browsing (especially if having viewed online vids) the cache will fill up and the older files in the cache will be deleted by Windows (unsecurely) to make room for new cache items. So even with running CCleaner, Recuva could still pick up plenty of pics from viewed websites that were deleted by Windows when cache got full. EDIT: Whoops, didn't realise this was an old post.

Well I can only say from my own perspective but I had almost constant update issues and for last few days no problems. I don't know if the fix has been sent out or partially sent out or whether they've sorted something server side but so far so good (still keeping fingers crossed though, just in case)

Neither should Avira 9 now (and, as I said, in the past few days it has been fine)

Yup, definitely slacking lol

Well I'll take that role and state that in the past year I've been using it I've had one fp. The biggest/only nuisance was the update problems but, fingers crossed, it's been fine for a few days now.

Saw this on another site and it amused me:

I'm still using it

Most features no longer work on that, I got rid of it.

Agree with that having just been through the whole update driver followed by BSODs. Filehippo update checker has been telling me for ages there was a much newer gfx driver available (newest OEM one on the Dell site for my laptop is about 2 years old). So I decided to prepare for the consequences and give it a go, BSOD every time I started up. Won't be doing that again

How have you ruled out Kaspersky? Have you shut it down and made certain there are no remaining background services running?

I must be a particularly sensitive soul then cos I can

Here ya go Corona, hope this helps EDIT: Amazing the things you stumble across when Googling something unrelated but just found this which amused me: http://i272.photobucket.com/albums/jj183/l...boy-anatomy.jpg

Nice one, I just assumed they'd already know about it with it being on the MalwareBytes forum. I wonder if AVG are one of the unnamed companys who've also had definitions stolen.
