@Me2, can you explain that? Lols, I'm not really following. Is this about Norton?

@129260, lols. I think I OD'ed on the posts. Nah. Maybe not.
1,000 posts in 5 months. Sweet. Gotta rule the FORUM!!!

Just kiddin'. It's actually fun spending my time here... I like this community. But I wonder how tashi and the others do... because they work at multiple forums. O.o

Now that schools, over... I'm going to spend my time here.

129260
2008-06-28, 05:58
on these forums. but haha, if i spent most of my time here, i'd go nutz lol jk. I'm on these forums mainly for the chance to learn how to help people with computers better, to kind of teach myself how to explain stuff to other people in a way they can understand it. Also i like to know more about the spybot program. Plus i like spybot!! haha. I'm really excited for the new program release that will be coming up!!

Hm. Spybot is alright. Problem is that there were potential conflicts with LavaSoft's AdAware.

Rogue "Spybots" are out there.

What's out there? We'll never knw (lols, sounds like X-Files).

129260
2008-06-28, 06:11
i know the adaware issues will be fixed in future releases.....

drragostea
2008-06-28, 06:31
On a AdAware 2008, I ran a full scan... detecting only 2 MRUs and nothing else. Scan was using 120MB of RAM. I run CCleaner prior to running any scans.

Wow. -.-

I was a iOlo user once. And man, did that s*ck. Some expensive optimizer that was. -.-

2008-06-28, 06:39
Yea, and I was furious. At that time in November 2007, before I joined, I went kind of OD on security during the Summer. Because I found out that I was outed in a majority of the software (Adobe Reader) and I had to firewall or AV. However, my computer back then (lols, in dial-up; Netzero) had no Zlob, Virtuemonde, or SmitFraud symptons.

I also had a problem will continuous slowdowns in my DSL connection. Had some dozen trouble tickets on the Verizon account until in March where everything was fine again.

Bad thing is that there is something wrong with my Java. I have Version 6 Update 6, however when I attempt to run HouseCall by TrendMicro, I canceled it. Why? Because Java told me that everything was fine except that the certificate expired. That means it'll run without the normal security restrictions provided by Java. Reformatted some time ago in April, and the problem persisted. Same goes for Secunia Online Scanner.

Wow.

129260
2008-06-28, 06:42
thats a lot of problems!! with java, try reinstalling it.....

drragostea
2008-06-28, 07:06
Alot! Java :/. I'm planning to wait until the update.

Upcoming:
Flash 10
IE 8
Spybot-SD 1.6
iPhone 3G

Comodo Pro?
ZoneAlarm, don't talk about it. It hasn't been update in months.

129260
2008-06-28, 08:05
good list. why not talk about zonealarm? haha :crowned: I always have liked that firewall, comodo to me is way to annoying to use. I don't really like it. But your right, eventually i will have to get rid of zonealarm, unless they start with updates. Which they will soon, if not, i will prob buy just the pro firewall of zonealarm. But thats my opinion. :)

129260
2008-06-28, 08:43
zone alarm just got an update, and i scanned with shields up, and it passed all tests!! :) haha just had to say it :)

Didn't know how drragostea got so many post..... well I'm a bit jealous u know haha jk.... By the way, will the post be deleted after it has been inactive for a long time? Becos I am schooling u see.... and I am having my Cambridge O Levels in like 3 months time and would not be visiting this forum until then. Posts in the Tavern that i have posted: "Vista SP1" and "XP SP3". I need the info inside to help me out.

129260
2008-06-28, 20:49
so copy and paste it all in word or something. Also, this is a test thing we are posting in now, which will be deleted every now and then, any time.

drragostea
2008-06-29, 04:45
Nah, I started this thread and it's intact after weeks.

ZoneAlarm got an update?! I gotta check it out ASAP :laugh:.

(1 minute later): http://download.zonelabs.com/bin/free/information/znalm/zaReleaseHistory.html

Wow. Are you sure 129260? Last checked it was April 22nd.
Same goes for Vista. I'm not really a big fan of paying for products, unless I see them directly in the retail store. I'm not really fond of paying via credit card or PayPal.

chewd, 3 months? Wow -.-. By that time, I'll have another 500 posts ;0. :laugh: Well, I'm sure you can access the Internet. Your thread will not be deleted. Trust me, as long you are subscribed to it, it won't be deleted. Just that you won't find in the Tavern, because new threads are opened.

129260
2008-06-29, 05:47
because you are right, i saw no log of an update ether on the net, but the update service from zonealarm was running for a bit. Look like it updated something haha, and well, it passed all of shields up! tests, so i am happy. :)

And i guess that true, if he is subscribed to the thread, i guess it wont be deleted. =] didn't think of that!

drragostea
2008-06-29, 05:53
Eh. What I didn't like about ZA Pro was that it screwed up my Internet Connection. It logged WinPatrol as a keylogger -.-

129260, I'll give you this advice. Trust me on it. What is significant about Comodo Pro and ZA Pro is that HIP. Defense+ in Comodo and (I forgot what they call the HIP in ZA Pro). Basically they're the same thing. I don't require Parental Controls nor Spam filtering. However, if you want to buy it go ahead.

Btw, on ZA Free's main tab check the second tab. This tells Registration and the current version.

Thanks.

i was having fun though :( lol jk. sure move it to the tavern!! :) and ya i know, the only reason i was going to buy za was to support the company. like avast i want to buy sometime soon. =]

drragostea
2008-06-29, 06:43
Ah, avast! Pro offers "push-updates". ZA Pro?

Oh, btw, 129260, have you checked the program details yet? Second tab of main menu.

129260
2008-06-29, 08:11
i could b wrong about it updating but ya. It passed shields up and thats good for me!!

I think you got me wrong. I was talking about the post in Tavern section not in the Test section. Copying does not work for me as I may forget to open or something. Hence I think that the thread will be there as long as there is activity?

drragostea
2008-06-29, 19:38
@129260, got chu there. Latest version is 7.0.473.000.

Looks like you'll have to apply it manually. I remember that ZA Free was stuck at 470, and there were no further updates.

When there is a new update, ZA will prompt you and will redirect you to the link.

ya but i hit check for updates and za said it was up to date.............weirdness, so i should go to the zonealarm page and download zonealarm free again? it should automatically detect i have za on my system and update it......right? lol

drragostea
2008-07-01, 01:44
129260, this is a matter of National Security!

Just kidding. I would suggest you uninstall and reinstall ZoneAlarm. I may sound tedious but it will upgrade your ZA version. I had the same problem being stuck at 470. Download the 160kb installer and it'll install the 35MB firewall.

Ew. I tried Spyware Doctor 6. :P And it was... like Norton bad. Full scan found nothing with a 2 hour scan. Took up 300MB of space and required reboot to fully uninstall itself. The Smart Update gave me language updates for internation languages which I don't even speak.

129260
2008-07-01, 05:21
haha i will try it then and let u know

129260
2008-07-01, 05:56
and:

ZoneAlarm version:7.0.473.000
TrueVector version:7.0.473.000
Driver version:7.0.473.000

I think i am good now!! =] It updated lol too, right after i installed the new version, i clicked check for updates on it, and it did a update. So ya, guess i am good now! :)

You guys ever played the Sims (since this is the Tavern after all)?

I don't have Sims, but I have played The Sims on other computers. When I'm playing this game, I just make a mess in houses. It's somehow fun or boring.

drragostea

I just enjoy controlling their lives and playing a realistic game. Best thing is that "hand tool" where you can add or delete anything.

Shields Up! is a decent firewall/ports test at GRC.com (not an exhaustive pentest, but a good quick series of probes). I'd recommend the GRC site to anyone. New lately is a 1st/3rd party cookie test and many good ideas there.

Whups. RC2 done dl'ing! Cya :D

It does not do it on mine, at least, not as bad as the others have experienced.......i wonder why......anyways.......I'm bored and liking the new version of spybot.

drragostea

Country is okay, just only a tiny fraction of the songs I like in that genre.

Have you guys seen 'Animation vs. Animator 2'? It's worth a look, it's interesting :laugh:.

I'm not getting any response in the SP3 thread.

129260, do you run 'killdisk' prior to reformatting? How to use killdisk?

blues
2008-07-18, 12:36
is it this you mean? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RTPpbHueNJ4 it was a little bit fun. you can run killdisk prior to reformatting there is no point to format first, then use killdisk and then format again. just use killdisk before formatting, but you must format after using killdisk i think, or else you are not able to use the computer. there is different options you can choose in killdisk IF I REMEMBER RIGHT, some of them use longer time to finish, but they are more thorough. i will not take any responsibility if something goes wrong with your computer, and i dont remember exactly how i used it.

here is from the guide: Will I be able to use my Hard Disk Drive after Active@ KillDisk erase operation?
To be able to use HDD again you need to:

Repartition the hard drive using a standard DOS utility like FDISK.

Reformat partitions using a standard DOS utility like FORMAT.

Reinstall the Operating System using a bootable CD-ROM.

here is the guide: www.killdisk.com/screenshots.htm

i hope you understand it better now:)

129260
2008-07-18, 19:39
I'm not getting any response in the SP3 thread.

129260, do you run 'killdisk' prior to reformatting? How to use killdisk?

to just format the computer when i cant get windows to work right, etc. However, for heightened security, you can do a reguler format then format again with killdisk so that recovering anything is near impossible for the standard user. Way more knowledgeable people might be able to recover some data, but it is unlikely anything can be traced back to you. :) Hope that helps!

btw, thats good info blues!

drragostea
2008-07-18, 21:02
Yep, that's the link.

The instructions seem 'scary' to me.

I'm suppose to run 'killdisk' before format? I have a recovery disk which lets me choose to automatically reformat.

Also, am I suppose to use another tool after running killdisk?

129260, can you give me step by step tutorial? :red:
Just unfamiliar to me. I'll see what I can get from the Active@ screenshot link.

drragostea
2008-07-18, 21:23
Edit: Erm. I unknowingly, ran 'format' command in RUN. I think this was a fatal mistake?
