I don't leave my PC on 24/7 to constantly run torrents. It only gets turned on when it's being used.

I do :D

For 4 years, no virus scanner.

Just used peerblock & used private trackers

It's only the people that don't want to spend a little bit of time educating themselves that end up getting smashed by a virus. Or unless you are a chick, in which case its pretty much a given.

Hence I never let anyone touch my PC that has no idea. :D

Technology + chicks = Divide by Zero... :spank:

Education and a bit of common sense goes a long way when it comes to downloading.

Most people don't even pay attention to obvious factors such as size and file-extension. Eg. A song in .exe format and only 300kb in size.

Funniest thing is how the people who used to make fun of us "PC geeks" :geek: , are now the ones paying for it; especially since the PC is so dominant in today's society.

Since I got 3 desktops and 3 laptops in the house I decided that I wanted to run different AV software for most of them.

On my main desktop and both of my laptops I'm running Avast Home (Free)...it's nice and easy

My mum's PC, my "work" laptop and my other desktop (torrent downloader) run MSE...I agree with Nismoid...MSE is very good, not too resource hogging and stays updated (thanks to Microsoft Updates)

I have Malwarebytes running on most machines but I found that it's picking up alot of false positives and if you have the protection moitoring turn on, it will block out sites (you can turn the website blocking off but it still fails)

this might stir the pot however i still believe some virus is put out by virus company for trial especially finding where virus companies are based.........

Iive always used kaspersky with malwarebytes and i keep dr web antvirus on my usb just in case something gets through and disables both ( or someone elses !). As stated before nothing is impenetrable if your stupid enough to let things through!

  • 2 weeks later...

I use, Avast Pro version 5 on all computers at home.

  • Never had a problem with it
  • Not bad user interface
  • It doesnt block ports (eg when LAN'ing)
  • Its always scanning in the background (I'm sure like other AV's)
  • Low RAM usage, from my understanding of it

Whenever i click on a file thats 'unsafe' e.g. keygens. removes it to the vault asap, and prompt's you a message of how youd like to deal with it.

been using it for over 4+ years

i'd say its better then AVG, Spyware, McCafe, Norton (old version) (prior experience with them..)

    • Update: O2 sensor in my downpipe turned out to be faulty when I plugged in to the Haltech software. Was getting a "open circuit" warning. Tons of carbon buildup on it, probably from when I was running rich for a while before getting it corrected. Replaced with new unit and test drove again. The shuffle still happens, albeit far less now. I am not able to replicate it as reliably and it no longer happens at the same RPM levels as before. The only time I was able to hear it was in 5th going uphill and another time in 5th where there was no noticeable incline but applying more throttle first sped it up and then cleared it. Then once in 4th when I slightly lifted the throttle going over a bump but cleared right after. My understanding is that with the O2 sensor out, the ECU relies entirely on the MAP tune and isn't able to make its small adjustments based on the sensors reading. All in all, a big improvement, though not the silver bullet. Will try validating the actuators are set up correctly, and potentially setting up shop time to tune the boost controller on closed loop rather than the open loop it is set to now. Think if it's set up on closed loop to take the O2 reading, that should deal with these last bits. Will try to update again as I go. 
    • More so GReddy oil relocation kits, sandwich plates, etc. all use 10AN fittings. And same, I've only used 10AN and my car sees track work (circuit, doing laps, not 10 sec squirt business).
    • street use or race track, what hose size and why? what factors change with the hose size options ?   see most comon is an10. when you see most oem external coolers are closer to an12? does high volume oil pump like nitto need an12 or 10 be just fine
