Install linux if you know how to configure the system.

there are many who run all services/ esp ftp daemons... beware there are [flash width=100 height=100]n[/flash] number of working [shadow=red:db3aa11ac7]exploits [/shadow:db3aa11ac7]out ytere with ppl waiting to [glow=blue:db3aa11ac7]r00t [/glow:db3aa11ac7]such systems

No system is completly secure.

AMD vs Intel (for notebooks)

Hi Guys,

AMD gives Intel a tough fight in the desktop space, but what about laptops? AMD chips have been known to consume more power and heat up significantly more than Intel chips, 2 factors which may not matter/can be controlled for a desktop but are crucial for a good performing laptop. Any personal experiences of using AMD Athlon XP-M here? or any other AMD powered laptop?

cheers

Ooopps I'm so sorry...
but i'm using sygate firewall with absolutely no pains...

The only thing while USING the sygate is first of all block all the processes and then it'll ask for the processes that require to connect outside ur comp once u are connected...
Then whatever u find is harmless allow that ONLY...

And ofcourse No Doubt other more secure and more better solution is Go Linux

Hey prady,

best wud be 2 use a direct cable connection (between the 2 serial ports). or alt u cud use a network cable connection.

If u r using 2000 or ME, For option 2, search the help for home networking. it will give u a detailed list of things to be done. i have 2 comps at home, which i networked using this method.

ofcourse, u wud req ntw cards on both the PCs.

Uday

Hi,
Am fed up of the viruses attacking my home windows 2000 pc ..... i have earlier used the pirated copies of antivirus (Mcafe, TrendMicro n Norton) but some problem or the other usually comes up after i connect to internet.
Mcafe was taken frm office LAN but tis now 2 yrs old, can't be updated :(
Norton came installed with the pc and started giving some problems soon.
Trend Micro was installed later on (pirated) n it started reporting fragment n other attacks frequently. Sometimes 6-7 attacks every minute. And then there is a feature where it blocks all the internet traffic for a while. After some use, i found tat the lock cudnt be unlocked again n i had to finally uninstall it to connect to internet (so much for security !!)

Am finally considering buying a legal s/w for security. Have found many names of top selling ones ... Norton, Mcafe, Trend Micro, Panda etc. Can someone guide me which one will b the best. I am lookin for atleast an year's trouble free service

Thanx in advance

You prolly need a byte-tight firewall m8 ...... Get yourself Zone-Alarm ...That should do....As for anti-virus...Check out AVG ...It's updated pretty regularly and is quite efficient too...

Cheers

ps: life without pirated s/w too is possible....prolly we guys are too lazy for that

[supervish]

Weird Weird stuff happening. I have Zone Alarm installed. Seems to work fine but heres the problem ...

Some time after booting ( varies .. half hour , 1 hour baad ) ... the RAM clogs up. windows takes minutes to close, the comp is virtually unusable... RAM 100% used says Task Manager ( on XP SP1 ). I have 512MB DDR so Ram size cant be an issue.

WHy did I mention ZA ? Thats the problem. The moment I shut ZA, things return to normal. And the multiple attacks start, so shutting down ZA means, I cant be online.

I find vsmon.exe in RAM (which is a ZA firewall file ) swelling in size as time goes, and RAM deteriorates.

Solutions ?
