  1. Oh yes I saw that but theres no way to add your own to it?
  2. I installed it today and I must say it looks really good and is easy to use, I can see the place to add ActiveX sites to the banned list but not cookies... is there a way to?
  3. I downloaded it I think as long ago as last year,my updates are auto so I had no choice I have only used it twice i think since then on two UK tv websites that use it. I dont think its really needed but it cant hurt if you have it as it might be useful to you one day.
  4. I tried it by changing the read me bit but still it wouldnt let me! I think I will give up and just download spyware blaster, if it doesnt conflict?
  5. Some one told me that spybots hosts are read me only as its is not meant to be edited, does that mean that I should just leave it alone incase I break it?
  6. I noticed I had it months ago and I just disabled it in the FF add-ons in tools, I notice that when ever I update FF the extension is mentioned so with some googling I have come to the conclusion that I think it just is MS's way of checking what browser you use, Or something like that. I remember when I got it there was ALOT of people annoyed by it and people posting about how to remove it.
  7. Its wont let me save the copy on my desktop either still read me.
  8. Vista home basic 32 bit avg 8.5 microsofts own firewall windows defender superantispyware adaware thanks
  9. For some reason even in admin it wont let me add or change the file, its read me only! And going through notepad to search for it doesnt bring the file up only when i use "run", Any clues?
  10. I wouldnt be so worried about visting sites, if in doubt get WOT or even wiki it, if its popular someone will have made a page on it! http://www.imdb.com is good for movie quotes.
  11. The newest one IE8, my friends makes the clicking noise too, are you sure you dont have the sounds off or it muted?
  12. yup its a lovely shade of green! and so so tasty, I just cant get enough!
  13. pistachio ice cream, covered in pistachio sauce and more pistachios
  14. I try to get stuff from cnet as I know its totally legit, also the pcadvisor web site has alot of anti virus and scanning stuff too, its a magazine in britain not sure if its world wide but I trust it. http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk also I get some interesting stuff from http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/programmes/click_online/ but thats more fun based websites also it seems its still around http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/forums/topic229472.html
  15. I rarely use it too just to make sure it works i open it once or twice a week, and yup not the mouse
  16. I think so, I have found nearly everything I have wanted on that one site, plus it has a forum and a chat room which although I have never gone in or reg'd with them, it give me piece of mind that its a good place.
  17. I use http://www.letssingit.com and I have had no problems with it at all.
  18. I think 100,000k is a GB but i might be wrong so 19k is pretty small, and yup the audio makes a click when ever IE opens a page... doesnt everyones
  19. No problem mountaintree16. I just opened IE and that uses 19k yet seems to take longer to load, unless its just waiting for that clicking noise it makes makes it seem that way
  20. Its in the processes part of your task manager mine is FF3 and about 90k
  21. How can I find it on my computer? And if it is readme only how can I change it to add sites to it? Thanks
  22. Another question as well so I might as well use this thread I use Ad aware but have never upgraded to the free anniversary edition, if its running all time in the back ground does anyone know if it conflicts with AVG 8.5? the version I have has not but if its constantly running might it conflict? Thanks.
  23. This morning Windows Defender started to scan, then 8 minutes into the scan I got a User account control pop up saying it wanted my permission to run which has never happened before , well as it was already running I cancelled it and let it scan which took the normal 2+ hours and as normal it found nothing. Then I thought to myself I should try to run it as admin as I never do and that scan took 55 seconds! I did it again to check it had not stalled or something and that time it took 52 seconds! I know its quick scan but not that quick! Does anyone know why that is? I never use my admin account apart from FF, MBAM ect updates and installing a few things here and there so it does has alot of stuff in it, enough that it should take more than 55 seconds! Thanks edit I also scanned it in my normal account and on quick scan it took 46 seconds, is this normal and is there a away to lanch a full system scan in admin with out changing the time it is due to run everyday? Or does it not matter if WD scans in admin or other account? If not why did I get that pop up? Sorry about so many questions!
