| 851972 | 2010-01-26 02:38:00 | Educated Guess R2x1-- The PC has two file sharing programs, Frostwire and Limewire --- Need any more guesses :p Zounds, saw those two last week. And a bunch of their little friends. Father was not very happy with his little daughter. Quick fix ~ he does frequent back-ups unlike the first two times his cup overflowed. Now he can re-install Nortons yet again. Still got to let the lesson be learned a couple more times. |

| 851974 | 2010-01-26 07:24:00 | I do wonder if AVG was current as I thought the latest wouldn't run on W2k. | mikebartnz (21) | ||
| 851975 | 2010-01-26 07:31:00 | It was AVG 7.5 - and according to AVG's site (free.avg.com)version 9 is the latest, its Ok on 2000 so there should be no reason the earlier 7.5 wouldn't be as well. | wainuitech (129) | ||

| 851977 | 2010-01-26 09:02:00 | Didn't the AV signature updates for 7.5 stop in Apr 2009? No Idea - dont use the program, only see the results of its failures. What I do remember is people that had earlier versions got prompts to upgrade to the newer. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 851978 | 2010-01-26 09:07:00 | AVG has been known to pick up false positives, deleting valid system files, after updating it. And not picking up anything at all. Its one AV program you should avoid | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 851979 | 2010-01-26 19:30:00 | Am I the only person around here who doesn't bother to run an AV or seperate firewall? I only run them If I'm using a computer with XP, but I havent had any problems with vista and 7. They seem to have been secure enough as it is. Maybe I will install Security essentials tonight and see if I have anything haha | baabits (15242) | ||
