i can't help you with your PSI secunia - sorry i've not even heard of it

but i can recommend a superior pdf viewer - foxit reader - it's free, and liter, faster and possibly more secure than adobe bloatware reader.

I used to be a strong advocate of Foxit. That is until I found it installed a service which was always running. This service used to send messages which as a gamer I didnt need the interruptions.

So Im afraid Ive ditched foxit in favour of Reader. I prefer to keep the number of processes down as much as possible and this one was unnecessary.

Am I alone in finding PSI Secunia a complete PITA?
It's insatiable.
It keeps teling me I've got insecure programs, mainly Adobe Reader and Firefox.
When I click the "download solution" button I get a fresh install.
After installing I now have another instance of insecure Adobe Reader.
I now have five!
All it seems to do is make me anxious about things to which there are no solutions.
Any comments on this?

I gave up on this program a long time ago.
I had similar problems and found the program more annoying than useful.

A good internet security suite and maybe run Malwarebytes anti-malware has kept me out of trouble.

i've never noticed this, i'm a gamer too! which service? i'm also a regular visitor to my services list...

i did not see Teracopy in the list...its a good copy/paste replacement.

Download TeraCopy 2.06 Beta / 2.01 - A free utility designed to copy/move files faster and more secure. - Softpedia

its free.

I cant remember its name now so youd need to go through the descriptions.

maybe it was an old version, i dunno, never noticed it myself.

long live the principle of each to his own!

indeed. But it was a new one I had just downloaded from the website.

Thank goodness for choice!

Digsby IM Client

very handy application for those of us with multiple IM accounts, Facebook, Twitter And multiple Email address's.

I have been using it since RC7100, currently works on 7260 very well.

Thanks for posting this! I was looking for an alternative to AIM since that installs so much useless crap on your computer; this is perfect.
