Internet Safety and protection
#7
This is a gread thread indeed... I actually have an "old" fone... Doesn't download anything...

Having sai that, most all "mal-ware" programs out there will find at least one bug so it "proves a point" that it's worthy .... I have used most (if not all) those from the past just after a "fresh" re-install of every OS Billy boy made up to XP...

Everyone "found" at least one, even though I haven't even connected to the internet... Good sales stradgey though...

Now I did use "Kaspersky" AV with great success and "Norton" AV (with 99yr updates Smile ).... Kaspersky I liked better, although it updated daily and therefore I would need to get/create another "key" to continue to recieve the updates.. It would recognize the "ripped/mfg'd" key and get it... Norton was way easier to "register" ....

This all being said... The malware proggies, some are better than others... Right off, I cannot remember which one was which until I would get back to using them...

I actually "caught" a bug, that would "morph" it's name... So when you would find the thing (in D0S) and delete it, when you rebooted it showed up named something else! Those dang TSR's.. Had em down to just the basic ones actually need to opperate!

But EVERY free proggie I tried (where you used it first then bought it if you liked it) found a bug.... You may be more apt to buy it that way...

I've been a member, sometimes even a mod, at warez sites since, O..88-89 and have run into some very "interesting" folks... Most all "bugz" are specificy made for Win... Simply because it's more "user friendly" and more used worldwide.... Like said before, just about the time you've gotten all those "updates" and fixed most of the problems... Here comes another OS... I have them all.(even Longhorn.. Never released OS) ... I would have to say, I liked 2000 pro the best for stability, but again EOL catches up...

Billy made billions buy selling his "new and improved" OS's, not fixing one to a stable platform such as Apple does... But most proggies are M$ based...

Sorry for the tangent.... As I cannot even use the beaux coup proggies I still own...

That' another thread indeed...

To sum it up, I used several... Some do thingz that others do not...
