  1. Under Windows ME, System Restore does not work.

     

    Search for System Restore Remover Pro, and remove System Restore and PC Health, your computer and Windows ME will work a lot better.

  2. Confirmed.

  3. I disabled some on my machine that I never really use at all.

     

    Security Center

    Indexing Service

    SSDP Discovery Service

    System Restore (I turned this off back in what.. February.)

    Telnet

    Universal Plug & Plug (SSDP and UPNP are needed for some sharing applications, MSN, Trillian and other applications like that)

  4. Tarun, What do you mean under the word "flop" ?

     

     

     

    This was a key part, which I found interesting. I bolded some of the interesting lines also.

     

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

     

    I've had prior experience with some of Arovax's programs like Arovax shield, and while they have been under suspicion for the lack of details they harbor about their products and the company itself; I'm almost positive that they are clean, and on the good side of the force.

     

    But i'll say this, the company behind these products are marketing at some of the slowest computer users in America. Preferably old grannys and retards. There's never more than a few buttons on a screen, and they're simple and to the point. In a way, that clean GUI makes life easier. Yet Arovax shield tended to dumb me down everytime I looked at the interface.

     

    Updated: (downgraded a point) - The scan generated a number of false positives like my VNC client, Pal-Talk, and other random things that may be a security issue, but are programs that are useful. The fast system scan and the full system scan seem to do the same thing...I noticed no difference, almost like both buttons are just there for the hell of it. The settings consist of what drives you scan and that's it. Needs a lot of work.

     

    -------------------------------------------------------------------------

     

    I've heard about a ton of false positive problems, thus I've not installed/tested this on my machine yet.

  5. Several weeks (months?) ago, some one complained about the exit button and thought it was redundant.  They wanted it removed.

     

    Go figure!

    P.S.  I like CCleaner performance and will take it any which way.

     

    That was me who suggested it be removed since it was right there beside the X.

  6. Is it shell32.dll or shell32dll?

     

    Spyware Blaster blocks cookies and ActiveX, CWShredder looks for the CWS Variants, CCleaner wouldn't touch it. ewido has a chance of detecting if it's a virus or trojan.

     

    The problem here is what we know about it is little to nothing. shell32.dll is a legit Microsoft file. Mine is located in the system32 directory. However my dllcache directory doesn't have that file.

     

    Often viruses will mask themselves as a legit file. In this case it could be that shell32dll (not shell32.dll) may be a virus. That's why I recommended scanning it with eTrust.
