erm ...
i have spybot-search and destroy installed in my pc .. it's a good spyware remover and so far so good for me
sygate personal firewall + an antivirus programme are enough for me to protect my computer ..
both spybot n sygate i think it's ok to run on a 6 years old computer .. i dunno ... may be can .. as they dun eat up much memory n quite compact in size ..

  1. Forgot Password To Trend Micro Internet Security - Is there a way to remove it? (5)
    One day I was bored so I set a password for our Web security software, Trend Micro Internet
    Security. I turned on the URL filter, and now, whenever my friends send me something funny that has
    no porn or anything in it, I get the Blocked error. I am really annoyed by this; I can't change
    other setting in the software too. Is there any way to either reset the password or remove it,
    without uninstalling Trend Micro?...

  5. F-secure Internet Security 2008 - My review (0)
    F-Secure Internet Security 2008 suite has all the necessary tools to help users defend themselves
    from unsavoury elements while surfing the Net. The program comes with various tools such as virus
    and spyware scanners, rootkit scanners, anti-spam for email messages, anti-phishing and firewalls.
    A pleasant surprise was the option to scan the computer without installing the software: the option
    quickly presented itself when I inserted the installation disk into the PC. The program also gets
    itself up and running without much trouble, and scans and quarantines viruses ...

  8. New Version Of Php Available For Download - From php.net - security Upgrade reccomended (1)
    Link to download here This is the latest and greatest for all of you who use php on your local
    machines, and as you can see, there were more than a few changes from the previous build, mostly
    having to do with securing the system, so perhaps the Trap17 was smart in not updating as the php5
    was relesed. Looks like the php people have been busy patching things up. Personally, I am running
    php5, but i really don't use the enhancements like OOP and such, so php4 does fine for me. ***
    This is not an announcement that the Trap has upgraded. *** This download announcem...

    Has anyone tried out the new MSN Messenger Live Beta yet? Right now you can only get in if you are

    Beta version of google mail. I've only seen the program on my friends computer, but it looks
    pretty good. It has features like seaching for names in your MSN list, sending offline messages to
    people (so they get them when they log on) and also having the ability to have its display changed
    eg. you can change the actual colour of your MSN. If anyone knows anything else...
  13. A Couple Of Phpbb Questions - adding code, css files, linking (5)

    instead of the forum root? Third, is it possible to add addition code to the forum...
