| 325603 | 2005-02-16 09:44:00 | would appreciate some informed comments on two programmes please 1. Housecall (for Netscape) - seems to be an antivirus "plus" programme, but am running AVG and don't want a clash 2. Grokster - P2P but is it as bad as most others re adware, spyware, etc? - used to use Imesh but there's too much junk with it now - Thanks (in anticipation) |

| 325605 | 2005-02-16 09:54:00 | Housecall is just the online virus scan from Trend Micro. It can be used with Netscape and you can run it any time it will not clash with AVG. Grokster is Kazaa with different icons and a changed name and has all the usual spyware. |

| 325607 | 2005-02-16 20:07:00 | 2. Grokster - P2P but is it as bad as most others re adware, spyware, etc? - used to use Imesh but there's too much junk with it now - I would throughly recommend a BitTorrent client like Azuerus. http://azureus.sourceforge.net/ Built with Java, a very nice client, with a lot of freatures. Or if you need search facilities, then Emule plus is the best, huge network, no spyware, GPL license etc. http://emuleplus.info/ |
