  1. Antivirus ( Multiple)

    That said, the reason to choose one anti-virus over another isn't based then on which finds more viruses, they all work, it's which program's interface and additional features you prefer, price if you choose to go commercial, and the program's "footprint" if you have an older system or OS.

    But hey, tweak away! That's part & parcel of being a geek.      :thumbsup:

    True...I changed from CA E-trust AV to Symantec Corporate 10.0 (now after last months delivery of it) just because of the functionality and features I am more familiar with in SC. E-trust has the real-time scanner, manageable desktops, and server lockdown...but Symantec was a little bit more friendly for me because of my experience with it...but like JDoors said...one isn't necessarily better because of what it finds first...they will all find the same particular signatures in the files, just a matter of when the updates are kicked out and put into effect...

    What Liz said.

    (Liz, I think it's time to remove the "newbie" label!)

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    No More fooling us LIZ...we all know you have the Techie Power in...

    I use each one those programs listed and then some. Symantec AV, A2 AV, S&D, Adware, SB, and M$ AntiSpyware...the only time i have any errors, is when one wants to run over the other, but setting up schedule times stopped that...

    I haven't had any peices of trash get on my machines in several months...i don't think it is much of an overkill, but more for preparation

    Swordfish is a alright movie...to many Clichés with the "computer terms" and ideology.  But Haley Berry kept my attention on just watching the movie instead of trying to pick it apart...I guess I could say the same about Hugh Jackman and John Travolta...but i won't...LOL

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    I liked it because of the action, and the appeal of a independantly funded 'covert counter terrorist unit'. I am kind of an action movie buff. If you throw in a little bit o' hacking, you got me. Sneakers, Wargames, the Net, Swordfish, the 13th floor, The matrix, I like them all. The problem is, real hacking isn't very exciting to watch, so they have to do this 'flying electrons' graphics thing to keep the 'unwashed masses' entertained.

    I think the best portrayal of real hacking would be in hackers <gasp :) >. Specifically when they do the all night session reverse engineering a virus. Even that was only visually entertaining because of the time lapse.

    War games was also really cool. It is a little on the retro-side now, but back then it was cutting edge stuff. I so wanted to be that kid, but in 83 all I could afford was a Commodore Vic 20. This is about the time red box- green box, phreaking got popular. I think that is all I am going to say on that subject... :D

    Well other than naming half of my favorite movies...I do understand the "time" issues with "hacking" or cracking. Almost every day, granted this is all internale so time is cut in half, I try to access different parts of my network using password crackers, buffer-overflows, and spoof attempts just to make sure everything is secure on the inside...trying to get in from the outside is a little bit more time consuming because of port identifcation, firewall exploites, even router exploits, but depends on what else in life you feel like doing...you could spend a day or a life time doing all of this...just depends on the person...

    Seconds on that one!

    I tried growing facial hair once...it took 3 weeks just to get the part under my chin and jaw to connect...LOL...but my baby likes the baby face, so I have to shave once a week now!

    i got ethernet cable connecting them.

    :D

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    Make sure the cable isn't just a standard Straight Thru cable. To do this...you need a cross-over cable (mostly red in color, but depends on where you buy it from). You are hooking two separate DTE devices together, so you have to use a cross-over cable.

    hmmm ...

    1)  In real life I'm actually a nice person.

    2)  I dropped out of high school.  (got into college purely on GED and SAT scores)

    3)  Between the ages of 13 and 17 I probably committed on average one felony a week. (not including drug use)

    Jdoors, right there with ya on the memory thing.  It took years to develop the habits to cope with it, but I find it comforting most of the time.  It's nearly impossible to get stressed out when you have memory issues.

    Atleast you are able to share your experiences with us...but watch out for the FBI techgirls...

    Try Yoga.

    It takes a few months for it to get better.

    If that doesn't work try an ounce of pure herion all at once.

    <{POST_SNAPBACK}>

    That is an awesome idea...if any of you have had tried it...you'll know what I mean, I hope...but it not only relieves some of the knots and dings in the body, but relaxes the mind, (not that centering BS) allowing you to let go of worries and stress giving you those knots and drags!

    Bringing Next Round To You Guys....**(walking next to the pool, scooping glasses and pitchers of "water" putting them on the tray)**

    I wonder why in mexico you can't drink the water and we have no problems here...I guess they don't want everyone to know you can sell it as Tequila.
