| 568368 | 2007-07-12 05:03:00 | You may remember I've been on here quite a bit in the past asking for help on various problems...well yesterday I did a complete reinstall of Windows to start fresh! Now all my Update problems and other annoying bugs are gone, and I can go from scratch again. I've already got the latest versions of CCleaner, Ad-Aware 2007, AVG7, HijackThis, RegCure, Trojan Remover, Spybot, and Windows Defender, so is there anything else that you recommend I do Speedy? (downloads, installs..etc.) Thanks. |

| 568372 | 2007-07-12 05:30:00 | I'm only using Avast, Trojan remover, and Rogueremover. Yer dont get too carried away with anti-spyware programs. I wouldnt bother with Ad-aware 2007. I've read it's worse than 2006, its buggy and slow. Or Windows defender. The main thing is to keep up to date with XP / Windows updates. And install a better firewall than XP's. |

This to start off the window update check straight away . I did it . Are you suppose to receive a message back, because I didn't . I'm only using Avast, Trojan remover, and Rogueremover . Yer dont get too carried away with anti-spyware programs . I wouldnt bother with Ad-aware 2007 . I've read it's worse than 2006, its buggy and slow . Or Windows defender . The main thing is to keep up to date with XP / Windows updates . And install a better firewall than XP's . Yep, fair enough . Ad-aware is okay, but its really just asking you to fork out and upgrade to the Pro version . I was told to use Windows Defender because "it is constantly scanning", so I'm just going with what they said . . . And yes, now I can keep up with the updates . There are a few I don't want/need to get though . |
