UAC isn't a full blown anti virus - it's supposed to stop notify you for administrator level changes - not all viruses need that to do their damage.

Wow. That's a whole lotta chargers.

Great program - I could see it replacing CPU-Z and GPU-Z. How do you guys do this for free? I will definitely donate once I am out of college.
What's the point of the 3D glasses on the logo?I'm guessing for the fact that glasses are nicknamed 'specs' and with the name Speccy the glasses seems appropriate.
One suggestion - give an option to change from Celsius to Fahrenheit.

what AJ said. Computers have come along way and i'm no Intel Fan as you can see. me AMD all the way. AMD FTW! o.. and i am running Windows 7 Ultimate now.
i do however someday plan on buying bigger HDDs for my rig. maybe two 500GB.
i would go Intel but hey you can't go wrong with a Quad Core only $100! and OC'ing that to 3.3GHZ is/was awesome! plus Intel needs to lower there prices on their older CPUs but you get good performance. AMD is just better in my opinion.
AJ, have you messed with the new ATI 58XX series GPUs? Bad ass i'd say. may get one 5850 later or something along the road when i need to.
I haven't used one - but I've read about that- got to see what NVIDIA does with the GT300 series. AMD has the lower end of the market - Intel has the mid to high range locked up. The newer i5 and i7 processors are ridiculous. I'd suggest getting a 1 TB drive - you can get OEM versions for about $85-90 on Newegg.
My system:
Intel Core i7 920
Asus P6T Motherboard
6 GB's DDR3 Patriot Viper RAM
NVIDIA GTX 285 GPU
1 TB Samsung HDD
X-Fi soundcard
Windows 7 Ultimate
I might get an aftermarket CPU cooler and overclock it some - I'm on the fence about that.

To my knowledge - it's never advisable to go revert to an older version of flash. If it just takes a while to clean, then it takes a little longer to clean.

Good God, do you run NASA?
That's nothing - wanna hear my rig? LOL

There was probably some reverse engineering going on on IOBit's end, and that's illegal.

If you go back through the articles to find out how the actual test was conducted, they did it by manually executing the malware programs on the machine. That makes their whole test nonsense. I'm sorry, but if you tell your machine to execute a piece of malware, then you deserve to end up with a piece of malware running on your system.
It's not the job of the operating system to prevent user stupidity. The job of the operating system is to prevent remote exploits that allow code to be executed without any intervention (buffer overflow attacks and the like). If they had shown that a computer could be infected with these programs without the user needing to manually execute the malware code, then I would be concerned. As it is however, all they have shown is that if you do stupid things on your computer, bad stuff can still happen to you.
Point in case. This test fails.

Hahaha I don't care. I'll change it back if you want

This is for Mr. G and the like of the actual Piriform staff. As I was making my website found here at this topic http://forum.piriform.com/index.php?showto...20&start=20, I realized something. CCleaner has it's own page, but Recuva.com and Defraggler.com redirect to Piriform.com/Recuva and Piriform.com/Defraggler, respectively. May I ask why this is?
Sorry I'm on a topic posting hot streak.

Thanks for the suggestions. Improving my site as I go.

I'm only what, 1/10 of you post count...sheesh that's nothing - I'll catch you in no time flat!
That's awesome !!! Every post has been quality time and time again.AJ

Nope - yay for being 19 still. Hahaha
Happy Birthday LuLu.

...of these one post spammers. Is there a common trend between them, outside of them posting a website to a known spam site? I have never seen the website posted, because of the vigilance of our moderators, but is there a common IP address to ban these guys, or is it just random spammers from all over?
AJ

Noticed that too. Was happy - but none of my add-ons worked.

Thanks everyone - I haven't been able to really update it - next section is the Programs Section, where I'll list what I think are essential programs - for instance, Piriform stuff, Revo Uninstaller, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware and the like.

Honestly - it's not worth it at this point to upgrade that machine - your throwing money away cause AGP is 99.9% dead. Buy a Ion powered Nettop cause it sounds like all she needs is basic computing.

Thanks Abu! I'm gonna have the Programs page soon - adding a lot there. Any other constructive feed back?
AJ

What do you guys think? I've working on it for the past two days when I've had free time. There's a lot I've got to change. Let me know what you think.

This time I knew what to look for - so it wasn't a surprise. Nice though.

That's ridiculous. Glad no one is hurt. Are they still on the look out? Or are thy just waiting for him to turn up?

Whoa. That's ridiculous. From Wikipedia:
128-bit processors could become prevalent when 16 exbibytes of addressable memory is no longer enough (128-bit processors would allow memory addressing for 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 bytes (~340.3 undecillion bytes or 281,474,976,710,656 yobibytes ). However, physical limits make such large amounts of memory currently impossible, given that amount greatly exceeds the total data stored on Earth.I think maybe Windows 8 should be 64 bit only, and then maybe do Windows 9 at 128 bit. For the time being though, lets get 7 here and running.
