Re: Some AV protection

OK I have been running Qihoo 360 for 45 days now (it actually tells you in big numbers how many days it's been running) and I am kind of impressed but.... I have it set to do a full scan every Sunday morning at 0200. Every Sunday I get up to find it has detected exactly two items, always two never m...

Re: Codelobster PHP Edition - free portable IDE

Re: mozjpeg

Well Google is again trying to own the internet and has come up with WebP but just like WebM I suspect there are patent issues in there. That and no new format is every going to replace old ones any time soon just because of the human Psyche. MP3 is god knows how old but is still the main format for...

Re: Some AV protection

Actually read review of 360 earlier and whilst it's good it's bit slow in stopping malware. The reviewer said it caught the but not before it had chance to atleast one file.

Re: Alternative Router Firmware

Like NickR I use Linksys WRT54G-TM but I opted for Tomato RAF after years of using DDWRT. I just found WRT was getting to complex where as Tomato makes things like blocking easy as you can list what MAC address to apply blocks to or which to not apply it to.

Re: Some AV protection

Re: Comodo Cleaning Essentials

Well I downloaded this and have so far tried the Autorun Analyzer and Killswitch. Both of these seem remarkably similar in look and functionality to Autoruns and Process Explorer from Sysinternals which makes me suspect they are actually using said software.
