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..)

      Well, this is probably where a wiring diagram and a multimeter come into play.

      gauge needle removal

      I can say to anyone thats doing this; having done a number of R clusters; just be careful if its an unknown cluster.  It takes a bit of force to pull up; but if it feels excessive then its probably stuck. I've had this and pulled the entire hair spring out; and I can tell you; its not easy getting the correct spring replacement with the correct inner diameter and winding. In my case someone had used some sort of adhesive to stick it to the spindle and it pulled the whole spindle out; which the force seperated the hairspring from the spindal and caused it to deform.  You may have to clean it (IPA); or in my case if i'd known i should have used some sort of solvent on it.  Also check out Cruizin Central on eBay. He does all sorts of dials; and you can email him with any custom designs you want. So if you want like certain logos etc...he'll send you a mock of what it will look like then you accept the order and he'll take care of the rest. Fantastic dials and he can do basically any design you want.

      R33 GTST Axles

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Have you confirmed its the actual axles? Also the wheel bearings that mount on the hubs to hold the axles wear out. I replaced mine as they got play in them. It sorted my play issue.

      R34 Speedo not working after manual swap

      By Jarsky · Posted

      Ive converted a few clusters for the R33 with 320km/h dials. On the back there are some pads which can be bridged or unbridged (using solder or wick braid) to calibrate it. There is one bridge which is for MPH <> KPH; and there are combinations of bridges to offset it. There is probably a diagram  For example; this is my conversion for a 180km/h dial to a 320km/h dial (I put custom GT-R dials on it with the GTS25t layout) If you have J2 soldered (assuming the S clusters have a similar config to the R clusters); you may need to remove that solder

      Back on topic 😉, these are some of the notable pages from the booklets that are supplied with each weekly parts update. I never knew the BNR32 test mule car had an S13 Silvia front end... *Edit: On closer inspection the test car still had the R32 body, but only the front end had Silvia panels etc.
