I have quit using the thing, and will give away the serial to it..(I promise I won't use it....AVG is much better!) I've looked over the liscense and didn't see anything that would make this illegal... so...
first person posting saying they want it, I will PM the code to..
anyone want Trend Micro AntiVirus?
Hi,
IMHO, I had AVG (free edition) and it peacefully let trojan downloaders, IRC bots, adware, porn dialers, etc. - install to my system through exploits or Java applets on some sites. And my virus definition was up-to-date. Why was my PC infected? Because it doesn't have resident shield on Windows's TCP/IP stack. I'm using NOD32 and that is a piece of quality software!
Except sometime it throws false alarm (target: my operating system boot sector), but it's fixed now and it's quiet. 
I'm not starting nuclear war about antivirus software in this thread, just saying I had a bad luck with AVG and I had only one choice - to reformat the hard disk.

AVG is anti-virus, for adware/spyware you should install spybot and/or adaware...I work at a palce that repairs PCs(or cleans them up and such) and those 3 programs is what we install on every PC we get(unless they have some other AV installed that they paid for)

You should know better than to visit such sites. Even if you should use a different virus program there will still be security leaks to be exploited.inflater wrote:IMHO, I had AVG (free edition) and it peacefully let trojan downloaders, IRC bots, adware, porn dialers, etc. - install to my system through exploits or Java applets on some sites.
At the other end of the line I have had lots of issues with the network scanners i have seen (ms firewall, blackice, norton, some other popular firewall i forgot the name of). Microsoft's firewall is a pain in the neck and was in most cases blocking LOCAL programs rather than those from the world wide evil web. Hence, its off by default. Blackice has the tendency to block incoming traffic without reason or message, and the portscan messages usually break one's concentration. Norton sucks big time (corrupting websites etc) And I have filed several bug reports for that one already. None of which got any replies.
Right now I just use a NAT router with manually opened ports. Together with AVG and Firefox I haven't caught any viruses for the past 4 years. (in fact, I only got 2 computer viruses in my life.)
