Re: which protection ?......
 

Oh aye ....;) :D :banslide:

Re: which protection ?......
 

I have Norton thats provided by BT. If you have an anti-virus firewall antispyware etc whether it is free or payed for there should be no issues provided it updates regular. Mine searches automatically at fixed intervals. In the past I had free AVG and that also updated regularly.

Re: which protection ?......
 

they way i remember it is that your supposed to out stuff on him , no wonder it isnt working properly :rolleyes:

Re: which protection ?......
 

I don't have any.

Linux, Firefox and Common Sense :D

Windows is the virus, you should all remove it! :p

Re: which protection ?......
 

lol carry on :rolleyes:

Re: which protection ?......

Re: which protection ?......
 

Re: which protection ?......
 

i think it was zone alarm he put on the other night, which is really annoying cos it keeps asking me stupid questions

Re: which protection ?......
 

I thought that was tadah's job :rolleyes:


Us blokes usually get the blame for everything.

Re: which protection ?......
 

Linux.......

Falshy they aren't stupid Qs, only what you want to allow to access teh net, get it wrong and its worse than having no firewall installed at all

Re: which protection ?......
 

I know a silly little man that has a thriving business and uses online banking for both home and business with no firewall or anti-virus ... I think he's mad!

Re: which protection ?......
 

I have zone alarm flashy and once you get used to it its pretty easy to control ...bear with it and just watch whats coming up when your doing certain stuff and you,ll soon get used to what and what not to allow..

Re: which protection ?......
 

yeah tad said that, thanx cherokee :D

Re: which protection ?......
 

I am surprised you don't use something like IPcop

Re: which protection ?......
 

how much did all these cost you all ? or where they free?

Re: which protection ?......
 

Ive got that McAfee i got it free with aol , abolsute great never had any troubles and no virus`s

Re: which protection ?......
 

yeh me too but paid for mine:mad: you get it free for so long then you have to cough up, buts its worth it!

Re: which protection ?......
 

Ubuntu Linux is an operating system much like windows, but you can count the number of viruses on one hand :p

Re: which protection ?......
 

Yes is very true , ive got aol platinum and is £30.00 a month and is not worth it really. However the connection is really fast and becuase the aol is so much i do get the security free. However i think where going to change to a better price plan. Weve got sky and are looking at that sky broadband but i dont know how good it is. Anyone got any other suggestions for any good internet services? (Just Changing The Topic A Bit Hehe)

Linux is an operating system much like windows, but you can count the number of viruses on one hand (and none known to be in the 'live'

Your post was far too selective and not informative enough

Re: which protection ?......
 

mines mcaffee from AOHELL.

Re: which protection ?......
 

im with virgin...had no problems so far and been with them a good few year now;)
but im happy with it, but some may not be. eres the web site if you fancy a look anyway............... http://www.virgin.net/internetaccess/broadband/bundles/

Re: which protection ?......
 

Paying for anti virus and firewall is cheaper than paying for a new PC anyway.

Incredible that anyone running a business can be mad enough to do their banking online with no protection whatsoever! :eek:

Re: which protection ?......
 

It gets better. His whole business strongly depends on the computer system. If something awful happened it could run on a 'back to basics' with paper and pen but it runs much more efficiently with the computers.

IMO he's crazy! No firewall or virus and he thinks nowt of getting the lads in the office to half a look at his latest find with undesireable websites, which I'd guess are riddled with bugs and stuff.

Re: which protection ?......
 

sure hes running windows?

Not MAc/Linux?

Re: which protection ?......
 

Nope it's windows

Re: which protection ?......
 

Ok I have AVG which is for Viruses yes?? But what Zone Alarm/Firewall/Spybot?? Should I really have them?? If so is there any free ones?

Re: which protection ?......
 

depends on your vbersion of AVG, they did start includinga firewall. If you don't have one then you need to get one!

go here http://www.grc.com/default.htm and down the bottom follow the Shields up test. This will tell you how good (if at all) your firewall is.

Spybot/Ad-aware are malware/spyware scanners, these are highly recommended as they will make sure you haven't inadvertedly installed some dodgy software that is reporting home.

Re: which protection ?......
 

Cheers for that. it says its completley protected. no problems!!!

Re: which protection ?......
 

where can i get the free version of avg

Re: which protection ?......
 

County hall and all lancs cc machines run Sophos which is supposed to be vv good - we've got an ntl lan-broadband connexion which automatically runs ntl's firewall which seems to be ok ... so far so good

Re: which protection ?......
 

Try here.

:D

Cheers Ian.
