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?...

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......

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 ...

I've tried downloading the latest RealPlayer from www.real.com. The latest player, version 10.5,
now must be purchased online before being allowed to be downloaded. However it stated that the free
version of RealPlayer will become active if you decided to cancel the contract with Real Networks
after the 14 day trial period. Hence, you have no choice but to key in your credit card number and
personal details before you have access to the download. There are no other ways or alternatives to
download RealPlayer for free now. So I've searched Download.com for an old...

I have often wondered how you can deal with spyware effectively. As a matter of fact, I seem to find
spyware more dangerous than viruses. The thing is, I use Spybot search and destroy, gets great
write ups everywhere, everyone considers it the best free antispyware program under the sun,
however.... When i run it, I always get a whole list of threats, and I obviously delete them, after
which SpS&D tells me all infections have been cleaned, but my PC still shows the symptoms of being
infested (running sluggishly etc.). When I run the program again 2 minutes later, it sh...

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 ...

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 ...

Windows Media Player 11 for XP Review Ok, my first impression while downloading is… DAMN
this is a huge file. 22.9 Mb to be exact. So it took me about 2 and a half hours to download. Now,
the installation took a while, but it went smoothly, and gave me 2 options to use WMP 11: Express,
and Custom. Naturally, I like things done Fast, SO, I choose the Express use. The GUI is really
nice. The glossy look portrays a look of vista, while the 3-D graphics blow the old WMP out of the
water. Remember how WMP 9 and 10 had the “File – Edit – etc…” menu that appeared wh...

Well, This is my first review and I have chosen BitDefender Internet Security Version 9 for this. I

it has...and I think it has all the features which an internet security program must have. -

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...

Is there such an animal as a spyware and adware free Peer to Peer network. I've been using

well, I got a spyware on my other computer. First, I searched with Ad-Aware, then with Norton
Antivirus. Antivirus detected a spyware that Ad-Aware didn't detect, named
"Spyware.Marketscore". But it can't repair the file or delete or whatever. And I know that the
spyware is installed with another program I installed for some weeks ago, but I have uninstalled the
program now. But the spyware is still there. The infected file can be found in
%Windows%/system32/osmim.dll Can someone help me? And do you have the file osmim.dll too? I need
to know if I can dele...
