| 561275 | 2007-06-21 02:56:00 | Hi,Speedie Gonzales, I am very intrigued by in your signature to every post,showing and including:- Comod Bo Cleaner:Hi Jacker2:Sun Java:Trojan remover . Twice a week I still run Ad Aware and get at least two Critical Objects each time, plus various not so critical- and I appear unable to stop them at source- sometime back Foxymx suggested they were less than dangerous, but if I used those scanners as in your signature, would I have any greater success or even drop any need for Spy Bot , Ad Aware, and two or three other nasties spotters, that I use at least once week . -all,found with the same names each time I so value your reputation that have installed Comodo etc,on sighting it and it now runs every ten seconds How trusting is that ? :blush: sorry about the crawling and perhaps grovelling :waughh: effie c |

| 561276 | 2007-06-21 03:21:00 | No effie c you would still need to run the antimalware apps you listed in order to keep your system clean. HJT is a diagnostics app. Stick with FF as your browser too. Ad aware is not so major if your using FF although you definitely need SpyBot and Comodo - Comodo keeps the hackers out. | winmacguy (3367) | ||
| 561277 | 2007-06-21 04:12:00 | Yup, 1 program alone wont stop everything . . Altho, I've only just added BOClean in my sig . As it was just released yesterday or the day before . That looks like a pretty good program . It looks like its similar to Spybot's teatimer program . According to Comodo's site, BOClean runs in the background, in real time, so if you were to get something like a trojan or dialler (if its in its database), it SHOULD hopefully kill / remove whatever the trojan / put on your system . Without you having to reboot, all the time . But yer depending on what program is installed, they usually do a specific job . As WinMacguy said, Comodo firewall is a firewall, (It was made to stop hackers / track ips etc) . BOclean is for malware, HJT just shows u whats running on the system . Rogueremover is also for Malware (specifically rogue software, that u may have installed, which installs junk / malware on your system) . |

You could lessen your chances of getting them by using a 3rd party browser and email program. Disabling ActiveX, Cookies and all that. Not going to sites that are targetting you. And so on. Specifically what is it always finding? |

| 561279 | 2007-06-21 05:31:00 | I'm not sure how effective it would be at preventing what is currently being installed on your computer Effie, but SpywareBlaster (www.majorgeeks.com) is a highly recommended program which you might like to try. | FoxyMX (5) | ||
| 561280 | 2007-06-21 09:23:00 | Thank you all, I use Spyware Blaster in my collection-like Nortons or not, I have had many years succesful usuage and have no wish to change- and I still have nine months of use anyway - not to be thrown away lightly:thumbs: All my "intrusions" as above appear to be more trojans than anything- certainly not a virus- I just feel frustrated that when a Ad Aware scan is run I get the same "critical objects " and it irritates me My question to the forum was really meant to see if I could do without so many- I do scans twice a week, and houskeeping ( updates etc as well as scanning)- on a Friday That makes a good excuse to not being available to help ( sometimes) my beloved wife "Her standard comment ---"bloody computers" :nerd: And, for the record thanks to you above,and Speedie 38 my beloved pooter is going as it should after the major clean up read by various of you F1 ers:dogeye: effie c |

| 561281 | 2007-06-21 09:43:00 | Just as long as u dont go to any warez sites, any dodgy sites and Windows is up to date, you dont really need anything . Even XP's firewall would be OK . I killed Comodo for about 3 weeks and used XP's firewall . I was fine . The only thing I had running was Avast . |
