  1. Running XP with no Service Packs is like playing Russian roulette with a gun that has 5 bullets in a 6 bullet chamber revolver. It takes less than 5 minutes for an XP system with no Service Packs to get infected if it is on the Internet. Get the SP2 and SP3 downloads and make a CD with them and install them before putting the system on the Internet. Then run Windows Update and get all the latest XP Critical Updates. Have you seen The Deer Hunter?
  2. I do not use a2 as it has too many false positives. I do not need Norton Security Scan as avast! and MBAM have detection and protection enough for me. Symantec does not like competition and wants every other anti virus application removed as it wants to be the only anti virus application on everyone's system.
  3. Leave it alone. You could go to My Controls then Edit Signature in Personal Profile then add pertinent information about your system so that helpers could offer pertinent advice.
  4. Get rid of CA and you will be better protected by MBAM and software that works better with MBAM.
  5. I iWont get a phone app. As I am crazy enough.
  6. Do you have avast! V5 and Norton Security. I use avast! and c:\Program Files\Alwil Software\Avast5\defs is there. You can not run two anti virus applications at the same time. You could go to My Controls then Edit Signature in Personal Profile to add your system information in your signature so that the helpers can offer pertinent advice.
  7. No problem here in Canada with 4211 db
  8. Welcome jagman The question you should be asking is Why is a constant "balloon" always covering up my tray? I use CurrPorts to see what is happening on my system http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/cports.htmlSee This area of the FAQ: IP Protection Module http://forums.malwarebytes.org/index.php?s...st&p=162100
  9. I have not needed any other HOSTS file than provided by hpHosts and MVPS as they are the best maintained and checked for validity the most frequent. Current HOSTS file size is 4,201 KB
  10. franki This is a good read: Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts File http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm I only use hpHosts and MVPS HOSTS files.
  11. I do not have "mbam-error.txt" on the root of my C drive. Do you have XP SP3 installed? Do you have MBAM free or paid?
  12. Please read: Blocking Unwanted Parasites with a Hosts File http://www.mvps.org/winhelp2002/hosts.htm The HOSTS file gives Online Armor less to do. MVPS HOSTS and hpHost's files updated with HostMan provide much protection. Do not fall for Comodo FUD.
  13. Cougars are not cowards as they are predators unlike those online.
  14. ShyWriter Then there are those in the Old School that resist change. Remember: Change is inevitable except from a vending machine
  15. Nirmal I have not had to make any configuration/settings changes to my MBAM Pro settings since installing avast! V5 Free. I have MBAM set to check for updates hourly and run a Flash scan and a Quick scan daily in the morning.
  16. Welcome Nirmal I have not used Ad-Aware since using Malwarebytes paid version as it has not kept up with Malwarebytes detections. Make sure that you completely remove Norton as it leaves a lot of remnants on your system unless the remover is used. Download and run the Norton Removal Tool to uninstall Norton Security Suite or Norton Business Suite http://www.symantec.com/norton/support/kb/web_view.jsp?wv_type=public_web&docurl=20091202133639EN I have avast! V5 on my systems.
  17. Welcome Riadon I have avast! V5 with MBAM Pro running on Windows 7 64bit and they work great together. I have not needed Spybot S&D since using MBAM Pro and I do not need Threatfire, Firefox 3.6, Keyscrambler, SUPERAntiSpyware, Hitman Pro, nor Dr.web Cure it!

  18. To paraphrase Julius Caesar Veni, vidi, vici that translates to I came, I saw, I conquered so WOT users are a bit like Julius Caesar especially g7w who is the main reason I left WOT How can a user comment on sites if they do not even run the software.
  19. The question you should be asking is Why do I have to unblock the site? Malware sites are blocked for valid reasons and if you choose to ignore the warnings then your system could be infested with malware. If you are using torrent software then this could be one of the reasons as torrents are loaded with malware. Try http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/cports.html
  20. I disable Last access time stamp on my XP Pro system as I find it slows it down too much http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/1531/how_to_disable_last_access_timestamp_to_speed_up_xpThis is disabled by default in Windows Vista and Windows 7 by default.
