They are all about the same. I like the Trend Micro products personally.

I think I got it under control. The machine was suffering from two problems. One, on closer inspection, inbetween the heatsink and fan was a coating of dust that had collected. I used and air can and dropped the CPU temp by 5C. Second problem was the thermal paste used by the stock heatsink and fan ...

What would be a better card?

A 9800 pro 128mb

or

A GeForce FX 5200 256MB

I curently own both, just need to decide which one to use for gaming.

The GeForce FX series cards never impressed me from Nvidia. On top of that, lately I think their driver support is kinda poor. I would do the 9800, I ...

Hey gang,

I normally post to the Security forum, this is the first time I've taken a look at the HW section. However, I have a problem that I'm hoping some of you can help me with.

Here's my situtation: I have an Asus A7V8X board w/2100+ (Stock heatsink and fan) and a single stick of 512MB RAM ...

Looks like there was such an outcry not to let win98 fall by the way side that MS will support the OS until '06.

BlackIce was one of my favs, ZoneAlarm is also good. All of those products do the same thing. ZoneAlarm and Tiny are free which is nice.

Thorazine

Also check your system drivers. I ran into the same issue with a system which is very simular to yours.

Make sure to go into the 'Startup and Recovery' options and uncheck 'Automatically Restart' to see if the box blue screens. Sometimes with fast computers, the blue screen comes up so fast you ...

I'm of the same mindset as YOSC. I recommend to all my clients NAV Corp Edition. However, I must say that TrendMicro's AV product isn't too shabby.

Thorazine

Okay....

then try some of this:

Boot to safe mode. Does the code run?

it's win98 right, so create a bootlog.txt file or even watch what loads and doesn't load at startup. Anything funny loading that shouldn't load?

go here -> http://www.sysinternals.com and download filemon and regmon

Those two ...

Thorazine

If something is loading at startup then it can be found in the following locations:

HKeyLM\software\microsoft\windows\run

HKeyLM\software\microsoft\windows\runonce

HKeyLM\software\microsoft\windows\runoncex

I think there are a few keys in IE that will trigger code at startup.

What's in those ...

While I do not know for sure, There have been posts in the past from users of RR's service and Comcast's service that said their machines were scanned at regular intervals looking for services (FTP, TFTP, HTTP, SMTP, etc.) that violated the terms of their service agreement.

So my guess is that it ...

Thorazine

I don't auto update because i want to know is getting loaded in the systems. It's fine for home users who want the conveinence; but in a corp environment, I disable the service.

Your other option to closing those ports is to use IPSec and deny traffic to the ports. However the downside to that is you have to be pretty good with the policy tool to know how to configure (it's really not too terribly hard). We are talking about Pro not Home right?

I guess the only advantage ...

I had a been walking on a torn ACL for the better part of a year which shredded the menscus (sp?) in my knee. I didn't realize this until I torqued my knee finishing the job. So the first surgery was to repair the menscus and the second one was to do the actual ACL reconstruction. It sucked, still ...

Thorazine

Two-knee surgerys later and a layoff later.. . boy time flys. I think it's been feb. since last posted 'cause that's when i went into the first surgery.

the bright news is, I started my own company. good to hear from you all.

Thorazine

Why would you want to spend any money on a firewall when they are free -> http://www.closedbsd.org

grab yourself an old piece of hardware and install it.

Thorazine

time flys when your not paying attention. How is everyone on the security board?

Thorazine

I'm in agreement with Fredra and TonyT. I think you might want to go directly to the source to resolve your issue. Or not, and let some idiot lawyer decide who gets the imported ceramic dodo bird statuette.

Thorazine

After what that guy said about other technologies and then once proved wrong still wanted to argue. I do not see how anyone would read that site and think this guy knows what he is talking about.

If your using NT then just write a script and schedule it via the AT command.

I ran across this little gem in my travels. Looks like I beat Denolth2 to the punch this time.

Very easy to exploit. However, the data assertained is a totally different matter.

Thorazine

Symantec won't support the product the day you purchased it? With that, I would have boxed the CD back up and given it back to whoever you purchased it from.

I agree with Norm. I've never been a fan of Symantec's consumer-based software. I wouldn't load any of that on my machines.

Thorazine

Why would you want that software anyway?

I'm an ADSL (384down/128up) user now for about 3 or so years now. My line was originally provisioned by Flashcom (They have since gone bankrupt). I'm now with a local ISP called Toad.net. When Flashcom crashed Covad was cool enough to hold the line and transfer it to the ISP of my choosing.

Doesn't filing a $6 Billion lawsuit against CBS prove the accuracy of the story?

Thorazine

Nothing is secure from MS and everyone loves their products. That's what keeps me in business!

Thorazine

It depends on how you are setup. For instance, let's say you have a DSL line and your ISP has given you a static IP. Then most definately someone can telnet to your router and start hacking away at the password. Once the router is controlled, then whatever the intruder wants to send to your internal ...

Thorazine

It's normal for a vanilla install of Windows 2000 running Exchange 2000. It's unfortunate that Exchange 2000 forces you to install IIS (Inherently Insecure Server) on the system. If your not going to use all the services you have running, you may want to disable some services:

Port 21 is listening ...

Thorazine

I'm a little confused about what you are asking. You have cable coming into your house/apartment/condo and you've attached a router to it so that multiple systems can access the cable modem? You then need to instruct ZoneAlarm to allow inbound traffic from the router to your system?

So your setup ...

good stuff

XP firewall is fine. It will stealth common ports for you. It does a reasonable job protecting your machine. But it's drawbacks are: It doesn't log traffic, doesn't monitor outbound traffic and isn't real feature rich. If your interested in that type of functionality, I would suggest using a third ...

EULA stuff is always so confusing and it's meant to be. This guy makes an interesting point about how crazy it's getting at the end of his article.

Burn it off with liquid nitrogen like they do with warts. :P

Quicktime is the lesser (just slightly) evil of the three: WMP, RealPlayer and Quicktime.

I cannot stand RealPlayer! And now that they have released RealOne I hate it even more. It's one big nag/ad screen.

Thorazine

Without adding in any spoilers. I thought the extended version "fleshed" out several parts of the film that the theater release glossed over. The extended version did alot better job explaining and adding elements from the book that I thought should have been in the theater release. But I also ...

Thorazine

For those of you with more than just a passing interested in LOTR, I recommend getting the extended version. I personally think that Peter Jackson did a much better job with the film than the original theater release.

It's soooooo much better and you get a free movie pass for The Two Towers. Well ...

Well..... just to address the fox is better than CNN post. I really do not like to be reminded that they are being "Fair and Balanced". This is the logan I'm fed every commercial break, news break and even at the end of the talk shows, the moderator says it.
