| 383842 | 2005-08-27 10:16:00 | I installed Norton Security 2005... and the Scanner is really really really really really slow. It does like 1 file per 3 seconds. | MasturJeff (7803) | ||
| 383843 | 2005-08-27 10:23:00 | That'll be the 256mb. It isnt enough. It'll be faster once u get more ram. Well, if u get 512 - 1 GB. |

| 383846 | 2005-08-28 02:36:00 | Hmmmm....I spend a lot of my time repairing Windoze systems for ppl and there's one thing I find a lot...ppl WILL get viruses no matter what you do. So once you accept that, the issue then becomes how to recover quickly. One option is to use an image, but these become useless as we are always changing our progs..bug fixes, updates and such. With that in mind here is what I suggest: Partition your hdd with several partitions, have the first partition as your OS (for WinXP I recomend 7 to 10 gig) Second partition for programs. Thirid partition for Storage....make sure you store your programs install packages, Drivers, Favorites, Address books etc and of course your important data on this partition. Make copy of your XP with SP installed and drivers and such...so you have yourself an un-attended install. Now when the sh*t hit's the fan (And you know that it will!!) All you need to do is delete the first partition, recreate it and the install the OS again. 40mins later you are back up and runing with a fresh copy of the OS. Don't get me wrong, trying to troubleshoot a broken OS is great for learning and it has taught me a great deal. But at the end of the day even if you fix the problem, there is still likely to be holes in the OS that will show up eventually. Dual Boot systems are becoming more and more popular with my clients..as they can use their Linux OS for the web and Windoze for gaming and productivity. |

| 383847 | 2005-08-28 03:07:00 | Rubbish, people dont get viruses no matter what they do . You get viruses, trojans, spyware, adware for a reason . I havent had a trojan, a worm , a virus, spyware, adware for the last 3 years + . Its people who DON'T update when they should, who get viruses/trojans/worms etc . If they dont want to take notice of warnings, well of course you'll get a trojan a worm or a virus . Or people who use P2P programs, or people who are into Warez . Nothing to do with using windows or whatever . There's a reason . |

| 383848 | 2005-08-28 04:07:00 | Hmmm...someone got out the wrong side ah? Yes you are right that keeping things up to date will certainly keep you better protected....but not totally....as definitions are always released after the fact. Take for example the "Blaster" worm, all you needed to do to get that one was conect to the web on an XP box with out a firewall. (bet you didn't get that one either ah????...yeah well we'll take your word for that bud ;) ) Warnings should not be ignored...unfortunately the average user is confused by the warnings...also some so called "Virus activity" is perfectly legitimate non-virual activity. The advice I gave on pc-setup is not only in case you get a virus, there are many other reasons why an OS may fail. The point I was making was to have your system setup in such a way that if your OS fails...you can recover quickly without loosing your important data. Sound advice I would think....even for ppl like yourself who are obviously a cut above the rest of us....We are not worthy :D |

| 383849 | 2005-08-28 04:17:00 | Hmmm, I tried to uninstall these McAfee files from my PC and they won't delete. I even went in Safe Mode to try and delete them but no cigar. EDIT: It's one mssshell.dll file that won't delete. |

| 383850 | 2005-08-28 04:41:00 | Check and see if any part of Mcafees is running shut it down if is running . Kill its processes, if any are running . If u still cant remove it from add/remove, use ccleaner's tools/uninstall option . If that doesnt work delete the mcafee folder lol, it should delete the folder if nothing for it is running . Also check ccleaner / tools / startup see if any file needed for Mcafee's is running on bootup . If there's something there delete it reboot . Then try again . Once u either manage to uninstall or if that doesnt work, delete its folder, then use ccleaner / issues / scan for issues option and delete the entries in the registry . that'll fix it :badpc: :badpc: |

| 383851 | 2005-08-28 04:51:00 | I ran CCleaner but it still didn't work, i'm going to go into Safe Mode with Network... that way I can talk to you and try to delete it at the same time. | MasturJeff (7803) | ||
