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..)

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
