Hello, I was wondering if anybody knew of a good free lightweight antivirus program, as I just got
an internet connection on my slower computer. The computer itself can hardly be called
internet-ready, it's over 10 years old, but it still works fine, the problem is I'm worried
that an antivirus program would slow it down too much. (I have Norton Antivirus and Firewall on my
other computer, which is much faster, and it slows down the computer a lot, especially booting. I
kinda want this computer to be usable online.) I know that there are some great programs out ...

So I was updating my free version today and it told me that I had 5 things in my vault. I was
wondering if emptying it would be the good thing to do. I mean do I just keep the virus' in
there? Or do I empty it and are they then deleted?...

My computer is infected with download trojan virus, norton was able to detect and delete the files
but it's still there....

Reding OS news I stumbled over this article that ran my bloodpressure up because it's on the
Microsoft monopoly issue. I begun with hating microsofts because their unfair politics on customers
and on the free market but my anger was not constructive at all. Now I don't hate it any more,
it has no point, but learn every day about alternatives that are free (open-source) and that can do
for many people or even businesses and advocate those in front of my friends and acquaintances (hope
wrote that right :-) ). On the other hand i now appreciate people inside Microso...

Just installed Linux Ubuntu on a partition with Wireless access to the Internet and have a question
about the need for an Ani-virus software. Is it suggested to have it installed? and which one is
recommended by the Trap17 users? Ubuntu 8.04 installed via Wubi, if that matters. Both the LAN
hard-wire connection and the Wireless Adapter work, if that matters......

Recently called Ewido anti-malware, product of Intel and Grisoft, has changed his name in his 4
version. Last few months users on forums are posting about this software. New version got better
look, but it is also does the better job. It is also good when you install it on already infected
computer. Of course, installed earlier he prevents adware, spyware, malware, keyloggers, worms,
trojans and other crap. App could be better in graphic look, but ad this program to your antivirus
and firewall package and you will have great level of safety. Price: 27 euro Score: 4/5 ...

Well I picked Norton 2006 last night since my subscription ran out so I thought I give a review on
it and let you the members of trap get a good idea what it all before getting it. The First thing I
notice what was different then most Norton software after it install it automatically does the first
scan of the computer (13 warnings_adware). Also for the first time it checks programs that connect
to the internet as well but just a bit better as well then that awful 2005 where the block programs
came up ever 2 minutes that was finally fixed. Also it does a tab FYI on yo...

This program has been a "Best freind" to all of us for a couple years loving all stuff free. Many
of us are familiar with the free version of Ad-Aware, which removes unwanted adware and spyware
after they land on your PC for $27 the plus version offers more proactive features, such as
real-time monitoring for blocking pop-up ads. It also prevents home-page switches in your Web
browser, and it prohibits Web site-based Active-X programs from installing on your PC. Finally, the
program lets you back up adware components before you remove them, in case you accidentally...

Ok. I got rid of NAV(Norton Anti-Virus) and installed AntiVir. The only reason I did this is
because I just bought this computer and NAV was all messed up. It refused to update so I got angry
at it and threw it into the ocean. But anyways, AntiVir is just temporary while I'm away from
home. But enough of that, so the first thing AntiVir did was tell me i had a trojan....I got a
message about this a day or 2 ago and this is what it was: trojan.wn32.apropo.225280 pro files>auto
update>autoupdate.exe That was what an anti-hack program warned me about from a Korea...

i find norton anti virus to be more of a hassle than anything on my system. i currently have it
disabled because of the constant warnings and 'tips' it 'provides'. i have talked
with other people about this, and have set up someones new computer that they have little knowledge
about and the responses i get are the same, people are annoyd with it. do you find it protects well?
do you find it too intrusive? any other anti virus programs you prefer over norton?...

I have been playing with the idea of constructing a grammar for a language out of a large body of
valid examples of the language in use... for example constructing a C grammar out of the source to a
compiler or something. Now I know this has already been done with (Fortran?) - I found someone's
thesis with Google and they did this. I am interested in seeing if this approach can be applied to
spoken languages. Any input?...

Anyone got that W32.Bagel virus yet? Supposably its spreading through Canada and U.S. Its pretty
vicous (smart setup tho). It makes files that sound like adult material and it puts them in folders
containing "shar". What that does it it puts those files that have the worm in them and those
folders containing "shar" like My Shared Folder, Shared Downloads, etc, the folders for programms
like kazaa and limewire, people download those files thinking they are downloading adult material,
but they just get the worm, and then it happens all over again....
