h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I had some trouble resently with trojans so i beefed up my protection, I think it done the trick cos now it even asks me if I want to let ME in

But I just wondered what protection other people use

manda

Good ol' Johnny Durex.

But in the past have used Mates, Boots (own brand, not Wellington or anything daft) and sometimes, where circumstances prevailed, whatever was available from that machine in the Gents.

RF

Norton Internet Security and Durex.

manda

Gloves, mask and goggles - and Norton

I just knew this would be a conversation about sex, when I clicked on teh title of course, the fact it wasn't* a thread on sex, till others began posting here is not a supprize

I read "protection" and "trojans" and just jumped to the obvious conclusion!

I use McAfee Security Centre.

RF

Are trojans the same as Spywear and do Noton or McAfee deal with them. or do you need a seperat one for them

manda

McAfee claims to prevent viruses, worms, trojans, malware, spyware and adware. It also has a very annoying Spamkiller which I'm trying, unsuccessfully so far, to disable. It's annoying because every time I connect to the internet it tries to update me with the latest Spamkiller file, and as I'm on dialup at the moment, this (a) takes forever, and (b) slows down everything else.

RF

The main way, returning to the topic and ignoring the inuendos.... oh ye. We use history kill; which helps with things like trojans and such like; as it nu nucs all the tempory internet files an cookies eery time you leave the net, and every time the machien is restarted/started, plu on top of this we have full version of Nortons, a spibot, something called PC whipe, and about another five or six things I'll go have a lok in the kennel in which they live

A hardware based firewall and antivirus solution. The oother would be a mixture of celibacy and a bright orange raincoat from Milletts.

Well would you have sex with someone wearing one? I guess it all depends if you can keeep a straight enough face in the act to stop yourself from laughing the wearer into humiliation.

A bus shelter. And BTW I cocked up a McAfee download last year and decide to stay with Norton but that didn't stop McAfee raiding nmy debit card for a renewal fee this week. Watch this space.

Command Antivirus, SmoothWall, HiJackThis!, Adaware, Spybot, CWShredder, SpamBayes, Firefox (though the adstuff is for the users, not for me - honest ). Until later....

The Gothic Smurf

"Holds hand up to admit he was guilty of thinking this was about a totally different subject until he read it all"

I use Norton Internet 2005 and Microsoft Anit Spyware. Tried other anti Spyware solutions but a friend in IT put me on to Micrsofts own which is currrently in BEta format and free but I cant see that lasting much longer.

Found the whole packeage works for me and the anti spyware realy seems to do the job.
