Ok this isn't a new program its more just an updated one that many of us may have used for annoying all those big brother places looking over our shoulders over the years, NOTE: this is not a firewall, you'll still need one...what this does is filter and approve traffic flow from a constantly...

I just upgraded from Vista 64bit HE to Windows 7 64bit HE and now my 32bit browsers (firefox, IE 32bit, even itunes) are not able to connect to the internet. All were working in Vista. The 64bit version of Internet Explorer will connect however. Any idea why this could be? I've tried...

I've been running Windows 7 build 7100 (d/l'ed from Microsoft.com) for about three weeks now and generally I'm happy with it. However, I do have one big snag that has been bugging me since I did the upgrade from Vista; anything that uses Explorer.exe is extremely slow to render. If I click on...

Just a non-scientific poll on what people are using . Any specific reasons (like when Webroot delisted 180solutions) would be helpful. This does not include HJT, Autoruns, or CWShredder since they should be used by all anyway

Hi all This to me seems a HUGE HUGE vulnerability in some current AV packages. I've got an ISOLATED machine which I use sometimes for specific AV testing. Anyway I decided to "Infect it" deliberately with some spyware and a key stroke trojan and then take an image of the system with...

I currently run Vista with Microsoft's Onecare Live for antivirus/spyware protection. I've just installed Windows 7 RC on a separate partition, and of course Onecare Live won't work with Windows 7. Could anyone tell me (a) if I picked up a virus while using Windows 7 am I correct in thinking...

This thread is for those of us Mac users that happened to install a dual boot of Windows 7 Beta. I'm all about trying out new stuff, and I also like to keep a working copy of windows with me. My hope is that there are others out there like me trying out Windows 7 dual booted on a Mac. I will...

Hi Guys Be careful in using W7 WMP. There's a little legal "nasty" in that it says " Usage will be sent to Microsoft" plus some discalimer saying that "Information is only collected for "Statistical Purposes". Whilst I don't believe in Microsoft "Conspoiracy" theories I just don't like the...

This is from a magazine called PC Utilities. It states Microsoft is announcing plans to replace it's subscription-based Windows Live OneCare anti-virus service.. It will offer protection against viruses, spyware, Trojans and rootkits.. It will not include the extra features such as printer...

Upgraded from Vista Premium a few days ago, and Windows 7 generally seems to work fine apart from a problem with Windows Explorer crashing everytime I try and access Control Panel, My Computer, Documents etc from the start menu. It then restarts the desktop and does not open the file at all. I...
