Man half these nerds apparently don’t realize that not everyone is as much into computers as them and are not as familiar with them, just because your lives revolve around a computer doesn’t mean that just because X person uses them, that he will be familiar with it and know all ins and out, its not that simple, if you weren’t so ignorant you’d understand that that applies to most things in life as well, from cars, your health and what not… we are all *noobs* at a lot of things so don’t go bashing people, its annoying and makes you look like an idiot. Besides even I get careless sometimes with computers, I have 2 Av, configured my router to block all macs etc… and firewalls and know if a hacker had enough time and was skilled enough he could probably get access to my files, lets see where your l33tnez goes if that happens..

This software is a virus in itself! installed it on 3 machines at work and now JUST those 3 machines are infected with Worm.Win32.Huhk.c _ Kaspersky AVP picked it up the morning after installing CSI.

RLSLOG can expect a letter from my lawyers over this crap…

DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS SOFTWARE!!!

Well, I tried to scan my system, but Windows 98 isn’t supported. I guess that means that I’m safe from rootkits, since if I wasn’t, surely they wouldn’t ignore people like me just because we use an older OS…

I ran their proggy and it says I’m clean, there is only so much you can do. The so much is called common sense. Anything less and well bye bye your PC.

PcWorld is a pretty good site/magazine, but they MOST DEFINITELY write “articles” that promote a certain product, most like advertisements really. A good example is this years best Anti Spyware products: PCTools Spyware Doctor. This program has NEVER been even half as good as counterspy, webroot, or even AVG’s antispyware, and PCTools has been a major advertiser for PCWorld for many years. Now they’re pushing Prevx, which until today I had never heard of, and I keep up with this stuff. It’s just advertising, nothing more. Scaremongering advertising.

Just use Comodo firewall Pro with Defense+ and maybe counterspy or spysweeper, even AVG for extra backup.
