| 383832 | 2005-08-26 23:55:00 | Well, it may vary depending on the speed of the ram (in your case 266 mhz) and the speed of the CPU (in your case 1.8 ghz). Which isn't too bad. I would say, you'll be able to open quite a few windows/programs at the same time, without running out of memory! And it'll be HEAPS better / faster than using 256mb. Especially on XP. You can't really tell until u reboot / get into windows, and run programs. Altho, I wish it would speed things up on the net on 56k lol, which unfortunately it doesnt. Then I wouldnt have to get broadband. |

| 383833 | 2005-08-27 02:15:00 | Darn, I would ask a good place to get RAM for a good price, but you guys are all the way in Europe and I'm here in America . :yuck: I'll just try eBay . :thumbs: |

| 383834 | 2005-08-27 04:25:00 | Ok, it's time to uninstall McAfee and install a new copy of Norton. | MasturJeff (7803) | ||

We're in the South Pacific, a long way from Europe My advice is don't install any Nortons Product until you have at least 512Mb memory (actually my advice would be "Don't install any Nortons Products.") Also have you done what I advised and dumped System Restore and reset it. Installed those programs, updated and run them. Instead of spending cash on Nortons Install another 512Mb Memory (it's cheap as chips no matter where you live) Uninstall all Antivirus Proggys and Firewalls Download and install AVG Free Zone Alarm Personal (also free) Spybot Ewido Suite Adaware Keep them all updated and run them regularly and you'll have little trouble. Have a look around the forum and you'll find various opinions regarding free antivirus and firewall combinations. |

| 383836 | 2005-08-27 04:50:00 | I'll just schedule virus scans for times when I'm in school . I like the Virus Shield thing . . . it's helpful sometimes . I'm going to get some more RAM later next week . |

| 383837 | 2005-08-27 05:04:00 | Ewido Suite Keep them all updated and run them regularly and you'll have little trouble . Had never hear of this but googled it and found: Although Ewido follows the traditional file scanner plus real-time monitor approach used by most other anti-trojans there's much to like about the way the product has been executed . First up we were impressed the fact that the real-time monitor operates as a kernel driver . That means that it's well protected from the increasing number of hostile trojans that routinely pull down any running anti-trojan monitors . If a trojan does manage to damage on of Ewido's components then Ewido will attempt to fix the problem by automatically downloading new versions of the corrupted modules . A very nice feature! Secondly Ewido unpacks compressed executables and scans them in a protected virtual environment . This allows it to detect trojans whose signatures would otherwise be hidden by the encoding . It also gives Ewido a chance to detect polymorphic trojans . Ewido also scans files inside conventional archives though unfortunately the documentation does not state what archive file types are supported . Finally Ewido detects trojans that attempt to hide by attaching themselves to other programs, so called binded executables . These features put Ewido into a small elite group of technically advanced anti-trojans . For a new product it is an impressive effort . However most of these advanced features are missing from the free version . The free version has value as an on-demand scanner but If you are interested in comprehensive protection then you will need the Ewido Plus version . Have you the paid for version bartsdadhomer ? If not, what do you find the free version most useful for please ? Misty :2cents: |

Misty :2cents: "Because I liked it that much I bought the Company" I came across ewido a while back when trying to get rid of a particularly nasty infection on a customers PC. None of the traditional apps or fixes worked and I was on the verge of a full format when I found it. Installed ewido, updated the definitions, ran it, problem gone! I was impressed. Try it for yourself. Run Spybot, Adaware, Your Antivirus app then run ewido and you'll be amazed at what it finds lurking in the depths of your system. The trial is a fully functional app so is very useful in fixing immediate problems When the trial runs out you lose the 'running background protection' which isn't really a problem as it still has an 'on demand scanner' and access to updates. Which I suppose reduces it's effectiveness to that of Spybot and Adaware (but better Imho) And yes I have the paid version |
