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)

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!

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..)

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      Pads for R32 GTS-t, R32 GT-R non V-Spec (Sumitomo), R33 GTS-t and R34 GT-t are all interchangeable. R34 GT uses a 2x piston caliper, hence it didn't fit.

      Checked with amayama and nope, the full S2 manual set is not available anymore. Unsurprising, but still disappointing as the ? on availability gave a glimmer of hope.

      I've heard the Tomei USA head gaskets are decent if you want to o-ring the heads but otherwise not recommended.

      What brakes on R34 GTT(Europe)

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The 296mm rotors are the R33 turbo brakes. The 310mm rotors are the R34 turbo brakes. The calipers are nearly the same, but not. They're the same caliper but the R34 caliper has longer legs so that it sits out far enough to go over the rotor. The pads are the same for both. When you say, "I bough tsome EBC"....did you just mean pads? Or rotors? 310mm rotors fit under 17" wheels. There may be some wheels without enough clearance though. I can't fit my fingers between the barrel of my wheel and the "corners" of my R34 calipers, but there is plenty of room behind the spokes. This is on Enkei RPF1. You can fit 324mm rotors inside a 17" wheel, but I'd be willing to bet that it would be close to impossible with the Nissan/Sumitomo caliper (using an adapter, of course), because the Sumitomo caliper is fatter than the Brembo caliper that is supposed to go on the 324mm rotors.

      Hi. Can someone tell me what brakes(and mainly WHERE) can i buy brakes on R34 GTT? I bought some EBC which SHOULD go on my car(i have GT but it has GTT brakes) but it does not fit, Brakes are "too" small(296mm) Are 310mm be good or? I have 17 inch wheel so no "big boys" but for me driving i just need one that fits and i can get here in EU/Czech.
