| 870517 | 2010-03-28 05:36:00 | You dont really need a fw with windows 7. Since it blocks in and outgoing I've been wondering about this one.Went and did a shields test etc on Gibson's site and Win7 firewall passed all.I don't really want to install Online Armor (pd version) on this pc as it mucks up the grandkids playing games.And so many popups.And yes I've used it for over a year so know most of the settings,I think! Anyone else agree with Speedy? Am leaving UAC on default. And agree with wainuitechs list along with IMGBurn Netmeter..........so I can see if anything's happening online Faststone Viewer VLC Player VSO Image Resizer Image program,eg,Acronis,Paragon Backup |

| 870520 | 2010-03-28 08:55:00 | You trust it? Yup even tho I didnt have to use it. And most things dont affect x64 anyway. Altho, I've gone back to Vista x64 for now. Since some things dont work properly in Win7. |

| 870521 | 2010-03-28 08:58:00 | If you want to tweak / disable services in Vista / XP, or Win7. Like whats on Blackviper's site, use this (www.thewindowsclub.com). At least if you stuff things up, it'll be easier to set the services back to their defaults | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 870522 | 2010-03-28 20:16:00 | I install my bits which in Win 7 now include 3rd party file explorers seeing as Windows Explorer chooses what or what not to show you., I go through services and disable those things I don't want. I also install Ultimate Windows Tweaker on customers PCs. With instructions and warnings about it's use. I remove (as much as possible) those bits I don't want and turn off any annoying taskbar things that I don't want to see. In all a lot of installing my stuff, tweaking to suit me and then, once I'm happy I make and image of C: |

| 870524 | 2010-03-28 22:27:00 | I'm with Wainui on the search/indexing - love it. Seems a bit criminal to turn it off, it's so good. :p | wratterus (105) | ||
