MarvinisaLunatic 0 Report post Posted January 23, 2004 Registry Cleaning Tool RegCleaner - easy to use tool that helps you clean out your registry and start up files. Much easier to use than doing it manually. I used to use the above program, and then they just showed the free file of the day on Call for Help. Easycleaner does a whole lot more than RegCleaner and it has a better interface and is a lot easier to use than RegCleaner. EasyCleaner The site is sorta slow, Im guessing due to a lot of traffic, but it only took me 10 minutes to download the file on my slow connection. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Danny Dubya v 2.0 Report post Posted February 5, 2004 Instant Messaging WinGaim The windows port of Gaim, the default multi-screenname, multi-service instant messaging client for Linux distros, it is (by my experience) very similar to Trillian, as well as a quicker and smaller program. Works with AIM, ICQ, Yahoo, MSN, IRC, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu and Zephyr networks (if anyone even uses the last three). There are also no ads in this program and a really, really straight-forward interface. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

razazteca 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2004 I think I found the best possible Malware/Spyware/Trojan/cure all in one program called Pest Patrol. When Ad-Ware or Spybot Search & Destroy don't do the job use this program but be careful as it will list P2P programs as liability risk. This great program will go after those annoying browser hijackers that keep on popping up after reboots! This program will go after cookies that pop up every time you restart your computer also and will protect you from keystoke loggers. I found found a hack of this program then ran the update which found 36 more liability risks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest T®ITEC Report post Posted May 15, 2004 So I'm finding that every time I run Windows Media Player 9, AVG comes up with a warning about something in my "system32" folder. Something like that. Anyway, the first time, I went through AVG and it "fixed" the problem by removing some core component of WMP9. Is there a way to set AVG to just.. ignore WMP9 or something? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrRant 0 Report post Posted May 15, 2004 Umm... there may be something that is attaching itself to Windows Media Player or AVG is miss-reading something (it happens because AVG uses heurestics (sp) to look for things behaving like a virus). Try downloading Avast! or something (from the list) and scan your system and see if it picks up anything. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chaosrage 0 Report post Posted July 23, 2004 Spyware/Adware Removing Tools Spybot S&D - One of the most up-to-date removal tools you can get. You'll find a lot of crap on your computer Ad-Aware - Good program. Not as good as Spybot but will pick up some stuff Spybot might miss. Same with Spybot picking up stuff Ad-Aware misses. Spyware Blaster Another spyware removal tool. Free but I haven't tried it yet. HijackTHIS - Removes browser hijacking (redirecting to other sites like Casino site when you are trying to go to Google.com etc). I downloaded all of these except for spywareblaster (not available), and I still get ads popping up. Now what? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Special K 0 Report post Posted August 12, 2004 I must say Adware/Viruses are becoming disturbing. I got one that popped up kiddie porn on my fucking computer. I fucking freaked out and pretty much got a new computer (which was needed anyway), but I'm afraid to get the old, treasured filed off my old computer. I actually think I got rid of it, with a million different programs, but once they were through my C drive, necessary dll files were delted. How scary is that? It pretty much scarred me.

Secret Agent 0 Report post Posted August 16, 2004 Just as a note to all of you with Ad-Aware 6, there is a new build now. Ad-Aware SE Build 1.03. So far it seems to be a good improvement from 6. Also, while I'm here. Windows XP SP2 is avaliable through Windows recources for professionals. HERE. If you Dl this though, be warned, you need to manually set the virus protection to user managed if you have Norton or (dear God, i hope not) McAfee. Use with caution.
