YoKenny Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 I found that it was way too chatty and riddled with false positives.

CeeCee Posted August 2, 2008 Share Posted August 2, 2008 riddled with false positives. VERY TRUE. Haven't used it for ages, but just updated 3.1 to 3.5 and scanned with it. Nothing but false positives. Also don't like those text ads in Free edition. Ad-aware SE is the way to go. Hopefully they will continue to provide definition updates for it.

Anthony A Posted August 2, 2008 Author Share Posted August 2, 2008 I use the free version of A-squared just for scans and I don't have a problem with it. The full version has real time protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweak the options! I test my protections and I can say that "for the moment" I can surf almost anywhere with out any harm I can stop most of the bad things before they even enter my computer I have tweaked my IE settings and those of Window$ XP is a great OS You just have to tweak it and take care of it And you can configure ALOT! Anyway Take care all Coeur de Lion Lion Heart - All is question of LOVE! - Coeur de Lion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoKenny Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 By the way I use IE 6.0 and have SP3 on a XP Pro platforme I recommend IE7 with IE7Pro ad-in. I use its Tabbed interface a lot and sometimes I have 6 tabs open to various sites that I want to cross reference like: http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/...ie/default.mspx http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc512583.aspx I have Windows Defender and WinPatrol on all my systems and McAfee SiteAdvisor on XP Pro and Firetrust SiteHound on XP Home and I'm trying out Avir on my slow PIII system.

Better yet Opera and FireFox. Definitely dump IE6 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coeur de Lion Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 Ok guys I'll tell you my reasons not to move to IE7 Not friendly with some of my "protecting progs" Makes a mess I use Firefox on the side sometimes I prefere Mozilla better then IE7 IE6 to me is all I need I don't like the feeling and look of IE7 And I don't know, but I'm NOT paying for anything That's for sure Thanks for your good intentions But as I am today with my config It suits me 200% I can controle a maximum of things with my old progs lol And don't forget OLD progs didn't connect to the net!!!! So no spying or other stuff going on Speed could be an argument But well I've got time I can't find any reason to change things I've tryed alot of progs before finding those I use As long as my computer is running and that my connexion is under controle I don't see any reason to change things Thanks anyway Take care all PS: check the list of progs I sent Lion Heart - All is question of LOVE! - Coeur de Lion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
