just found a review of trojan hunter,

http://www.anti-trojan-software-reviews.com/review-trojan-hunter.htm

just downloaded trail and thankfully have no threats,do you get more options when you buy the program,

Spaceman - 28 Mar 2005 18:20 - 3159 of 11003

scussy, trojanhunter trial is fully functioned but time limited. Its not realy comparable with S&D or adaware as both of them are designed mainly to remove spyware. Trojans are different beasts they are virus like and often designed to do damage. However there is a considerable crossover between the various malware.

Not everyone needs trojanhunter, if you take care and use virus protection (AVG is good enough in my opinion), along with Spybot and adaware and a firewall (preferably in your router) then you should be OK. If you suspect you have a trojan infection you can use the trojanhunter trial, however once you have used it you wont be able to use it again unless you can work out how it knows that it has been instelled before !

hmmm,after installing trojanhunter,did the scans and shutdown last night,when started again today there seemed a problem with new software as it give me the start in save mode screen,oh i did not panic,it just give me the chance to do all the scanning in save mode,all done and not a problem,the scans i did :-

nortons AV
AVG AV
ad-aware
spybot S & D
MS antispyware
trojanhunter
with these scans i also have XP firewall and and firewall in my D-Link router,
so will buying TROJANHUNTER complete my security,it's only $49 and if it detects a trojan before it gets in it will be a good buy,

Spaceman - 29 Mar 2005 14:14 - 3161 of 11003

scussy, you have a pretty good arsenal of protection software already ;-)

My view is that Trojanhunter is cheap and worth having and I have purchased it. However your current tools will probably keep you safe without
it.

scussy - 30 Mar 2005 12:49 - 3162 of 11003

thanks spaceman,as you say it's cheap and can save loads if it stops them,it does not seem to slow down my PC with all the security running,
and this is with AMD Athlon XP 2000+,1.67GHz,1.25 GB ram,i will prob get a new PC next year and have it just running my charts,

Anybody have an explanation why my Outlook Express inbox has the paper clip attachment symbol on every message even those without attachments? Something to do with AVG perhaps?
TIA

Spaceman - 20 Apr 2005 09:37 - 3168 of 11003

Kernow, doubt if its AVG, cant remember with OE but some mail clients show html mail as an attachment. Does the the mail have html in it?

kernow - 20 Apr 2005 09:42 - 3169 of 11003

Not many Spaceman. Mostly just text. Irritating more than serious I think as AVG nor trojan hunter pick up anything.

Seymour Clearly - 20 Apr 2005 10:41 - 3170 of 11003

Kernow, with AVG I got the attachment paperclip a few weeks ago, but then it stopped. No idea why, but it no longer occurs.

Seymour Clearly - 20 Apr 2005 13:45 - 3171 of 11003

I'm just ordering new PC's for work and need to establish a good backup scheme. To date we've used Zip discs which do incremental as well as full backups. The new machines will be running XP professional.

I need a simple system that my staff can simply point and click. Does anyone know of a good simple system using either CD RW drives or usb memory sticks?

Optimist - 20 Apr 2005 14:48 - 3172 of 11003

SC

How much data do you want to back up?
How valuable is it?
How much can you afford to spend?

robber - 20 Apr 2005 20:46 - 3173 of 11003

Seymour, will they be networked?, If so it may be worth specing one with several big HDDs to use as a bakcup machine.

Check out Acronis as your backup and restore managaement package, its getting very good reviews and is cheap;

Optimist, sorry had a busy day. Some of the data is "mission critical" but incremental backups wouldn't fill a CD by any means. Changing the business software so not sure how much data there will be but I don't expect it to be a huge amount. We can store one month's data on 2 CD's at the moment if that's any help. Cost - prefer under 100, given that the main PC is only a 500 machine.

I know you're going to suggest higher spec but chatting to the s/w company they say plenty of folks run this s/w on a low spec machine successfuly so I'm really looking for a cheap and easy solution.

Mega Bucks - 20 Apr 2005 23:48 - 3175 of 11003

higher spec and low spec machines,great from a optician that is aint it :-)))

Sort of bifocal computer, then.
