    Howling Wolves your post #125 didn't work for me. Switch to J.D Old NO. 7 and everything works now.

    Would have done the same Layback Bear but I have to make dinner tonight for wife and I so I don't want to mess it up too badly.
    Make sure you don't get behind the wheel. JD and fender bender's are a poor couple!

    Due to things happening on another thread of this forum it would not be a bad idea to give the generally accepted definitions of virus, malware, spyware, trojans, etc.etc. Maybe here, maybe somewhere else on the forum.
    There seems to be a lot of confusion or sloppy use of the terms, not only here but also on internet and by the various anti-whatever suppliers, especially by the "free" ones. As far as i can see "virus" is a subsection of "malware" and although somewhat incomplete i usually stick to this:
    Defining Malware: FAQ

    It seems especially important to define what the definiton of "virus" includes.

    I am new to all this... but a thoroughly insightful post, thank you. I first used Norton on my Windows Vista (Packard Bell) laptop and I didn't think it was up to much to be honest. It was a paid for security that I repeatedly had problems with. I soon switched to AVG. My laptop didn't take to this program at all. Everything slowed down on me and became somewhat jilted and in the end began to freeze. After some time, I switched to Microsoft Security Essentials. I also use this security program on my Windows Seven PC. I think it is just brilliant. Works perfectly for both the laptop and desktop. It seems to tick off most of the items on your check list. Again, thank you for a very informative post!

    Here is the best solution to prevent any and all virus and hack attempts I've found.

    The good thing is that its 100% guaranteed to work for everyone, without the need for any additional software.


    First, Shutdown your computer.

    Next, look on the back of your PC and locate a small cable that looks like the one in the picture below.

    As illustrated, push in on the retaining clip, and gently remove it from the PC.
    Please be careful you do not damage anything.

    Now start up your PC and you are good to go.

    No need for any extra programs, you are 100% gaurnteed to be safe from Internet nasties.
    Please note, that by reconnecting this cable, you will again be vulnerable.

    Hope this helps.

    That only protects you from "Internet nasties".

    What about USB nasties?
