Topic Wiki

I would like to have had the following summary when I was looking for my answers. Since I only read the end of the thread, please add other pertinent information.

Best AntiVirus Software
Neither interferes with K9 now.  Do not have more than one antivirus running at a time.
Free - Avast           download here
Paid - Kaspersky

Best Free Spyware
ublock                    download here for FireFox

Firewalls
Windows Firewall should be ON at all times unless your antivirus software comes with one.
If so, it will probably shut off Windows Firewall on its own.



Before following the information contained here, check the date at the bottom to make sure this wiki is relatively up to date.

So which one do you prefer to be?
1) The blessing said after relieving oneself in the can.
2) A tree used for idol worshipping.
(Swiss humor :D)

Gosh you are weird.  ::)

I choose option 3) None of the above.

I only said it because of this:
Mr AsherO tsar es ho'odom...
And this:
I was thinking of "atsei ashero"...
Those are the two options...

I had a triple portion of cereal this morning. It may contain traces of nuts and diapers (both of the latter seem to be in abundance).

I have been hakked a kop, that I was told already that it has been said already that he has a problem with the serial. (He might have been talking about cereal after all...)

2. http://www.dansdeals.com/forums/index.php?topic=3331.msg34881#msg34881 = (my reply on the above): just tried, does work, you got to fill in the captcha, and select regular download.

You keep on insisting about having spoken about a serial, although you didn't mention anything of the kind. In post message 3. you speak about an issue with IE (I assume internet explorer), which has nothing to do with serial (the avg program). Raye ladovor is you message 1. where you bring my download link, and say: it doesn't work, so the issue is the downloading of the program, and not the installation of the program such as a serial.

OK, I'm assuming that the megaupload download link is for a serial key for the AVG.
That being said, once I download that, upon trying to open it I get the IE problem.
