[danthegeek]

Just wondering what would be some good antivirus and firewall software for my PC. I use it for sharing files in my house. Curantly im usinf windows defender and windows firewall but im not digin it.

AVG.
Spybot.
Ad-Aware.
WinDefender (I guess you already have it).

That's all I can think of, there are a few more good free ones though.

In addition to those, you could use zone alarm for a firewall. www.zonelabs.com

Geh I don't use a anti-Virus becuase it won't let me connect properly at Lan-Parties. I only go on a few forums and such, and now-adays, I havn't been hit with a virus in years. Its all spy-ware now. And for spyware, Ad-Aware is the best, Pricey but nothing beats it.

As for me, I do have 1 System, and I use norton. Ugly ass little yellow bar but makes you feel protected.

While we're talking about spyware, etc., is there any way to scan my Pocket PC from my desktop? I tried to get AntiVir for handheld computers, but I couldn't get a trial license, and I do not feel like purchasing it at this time. I believe a virus wandered its way on there, but not sure how.

If you haven't tried it, you can use ClamWin. It is fairly good, and free too!

Okay, I'll google it when I get the chance, thanks.

Remember, you can't talk about illegal downloading on this forum.

WTH do you think he downloads? Also, you think that will stop the FBI from seeing what you d/l? Hell no; if they see you using something like that they're then probably be watching you. Don't give authorities a reason to get mad at you.

Dan, follow what Malicious & sgtm said and you should be fine.
