  1. FYI: Flux is a PUP? Detection declared as False Positive. So one can say the detection is in "flux".
  2. Please reference: Please read before reporting a false positive PUP - Potentially Unwanted Program. A non-malware classification based upon how it is installed, a predisposition for automatic op-in and other characteristics not associated with malware to get a PUP.Optional declaration. RE: PUP.Optional listings and disputes
  3. Sure I know what a RAM Disk is. It is a virtual disk drive created out of Random Access Memory (RAM) to simulate that of a physical drive such as a Floppy, ZIP or hard disk. Often used where there may be data swapping back and forth to a drive such that it is done without physical wear and tare and without the delay of data read and write latency that would occur with a physical drive. However it is not a disk. It is a simulation of a disk. Something that is not needed to run a scan for the detection of a RootKit. If this was somehow beneficial then it would have already been incorporated into the utility. You are correct about the EULA part. I was confusing that concept with MBAM and not the separate MBAR.
  4. Safe ? If you had PUPs and PUPs are NOT malware then how can you not be safe ? As for the Registry issue, you would have to provide the exact information on what that issue is.
  5. No, it is completely unsupported and would be a mistake to try to make it run in such a fashion. It may also be a EULA violation and/or void the warranty of the purchased version.
  6. Potentially Unwanted Programs (PUPs) are NOT malware and there is no reason to wipe a PC and reinstall the OS of choice over them. You need to be more vigilant when installing software.
  7. More specifically to add to what gonzo wrote is that Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM) fixes modifications that Today's malware makes to the Operating System. Traditional Anti Virus applications may delete or block malware and in the case of true viruses that are file infectors ( not the faux perception that everyone thinks is a virus when it is not ). Traditional Anti Virus application can remove the malicious code that was prepended, appended or cavity injected into legitimate files. However they have a poor track record in correcting the many modifications that Today's non-viral malware makes to the Operating System. Think of it as Today's malware creates an environment that the malware can best thrive in. It modifies its environment to do that. MBAM can revert the Operating System back to a normal condition reversing those modifications that the malware created to thrive in. This is one of the many reasons MBAM is an adjunct to a Traditional Anti Virus application and does not replace it. It is a complementary application. Together MBAM and a Traditional Anti Virus application have a greater efficacy than either one alone.

  10. I wasn't too sure about the egg white/flour "paste" but it was also something that was a possibility. The Elmer's CraftBond Permanent Tape Runner is pretty neat. I like it. I can see myself using it for future projects now that I know it exists and what I can use it for.
  11. You know, I hadn't thought of that. I had thought about a spray adhesive but the item is too small for that kind of spray. I went to Michael's Art Supplies and what was suggested, works. I obtained Elmer's Craft Bond with is an applicator that applies an 8mm wide strip of a thin but viscous material. The two halves join well with no slippage and with no cure time and a test through the Hot Laminator was successful. Actually, the egg whites and flour is very stable. It was used to repair china and porcelain before commercial products evolved and has been used by book binders for a very long time. There is something about the carbohydrates in the starch and the protein in the egg white that give it its strength.
  12. abcabc2abc, I didn't supply a link. I did use Porthos' forum ID as you see here. But, that's not a link to information. That's a profile of the member. I do that because member's name can be confusing and using the member's profile makes the member's name declaration clear. I have no commercial motives. I do not sell products. At most I perform personal IT services and IT services for < censored >. I have no motives, angles nor agenda. I am just stating information top the best of my ability. Rural Canada - I can see how that has limitations on service providers and costs. "One of the BM ads/programs says it will block all threats including "dialers". There are a bunch of ads/programs. What is included in the premium purchased package? I don't see a comparison chart, if it was clear I would not be asking here. Hopefully that info is in your link." BM - Another odd acronym ? Oy...... I can give you a full comparison and explanation of MBAM (not MB or BM) vs. full anti virus applications. However it would be off the top of my head and would be lengthy and be much work. I would only be willing to write something IFF it was really worthwhile (it is a lot of work and I have a project in front of me).
  13. Sir: I respect your years and your seniority in the community but I must make some corrections here. Porthos didn't post Off Topic nor reply Off Topic. He was addressing some underlying concepts that I agree with him on. WnXP is a dead OS. If you want to run Windows XP and NOT connect to the Internet or share data files/disks with peers or friends then please... go right ahead. However you expressed the desire to use WinXP while connected to the Internet. What complicates it is a Dial-Up (DUN) connection. Malware won't necessarily need a high speed connection but prevention, mitigation and remediation will. As a function of time it will be harder and harder to maintain a WinXP platform with some level of protection. As we move away, in time, from April 8th, your PC will become more of a target and less protectable. You stated "Dialup is cheap, wifi is expensive." The fact is DialUp Networking (DUN) is a slow speed way to access the Internet in rural and remote areas using the Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). Therefore the distance from customer to Internet Service Provider (ISP) can be quite long. WiFi, on the other hand, has an effective (unobstructed) range of maybe 300 feet. Thius is not a technology that an ISP sells to subscribers. WiFi is a technology that ISPs provide as a Value Added Benefit. That is as long as you have a standard, broadband, package the service provider provides WiFi Hot Spots throughout their territory. For example Optimum Online (Cable Vision) provides a Cable Modem and CISCO AIR-LAP to businesses such that that business now becomes a subscriber only capable WiFi HotSpot. There is a wireless technology that reaches out further than WiFi and that is 3G/4G Wireless Broadband. That uses a DialUp Networking (DUN) Modem combined with a Cellular Telephone. Except in most cases the Cellular Telephone isn't used for voice communications (although it can). That works on the principle that if you are covered by Cellular Towers, you can access the Internet. While WiFi radiates up to 300', a cell Tower is good for 1 ~ 2miles. Dial-Up isn't "cheap", its less expensive and less capable. At lone time I paid $20.00/month for DUN while at the same time CompuServe wanted $23.00/hr ! 3G/4G Wireless Broadband can be had for $65.00/month. That's relates to only three hours of service that CompuServe would have provided at less speed. Please do not confuse the different Wireless Networking constructs. * BlueTooth - 30' * Wireless Fidelity (aka; WiFi) - 300' * Wireless Broadband (2G, 3G and 4G networks) - 1 ~ 2 miles Now I will assume MB is some non-standard acronym for Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware (MBAM) and not Milton Bradley (MB). However the rest of the subject matter is hard to understand. But I think you are asking if MBAM can replace a fully installed anti virus application such as Grisoft AVG. If that is the question, the answer is - NO. MBAM targets non-viral malware and a subset of file types that AVG would target. MBAM is a complementary application meant to work along side a fully installed anti virus solution, not replace it. For example AVG can detect and block malicious SWF (Flash), PDF (Adobe Portable Documents) , HTML (the language web pages) while MBAM can not.
  14. For all intents and purposes, that is what I am doing. The glue would be sandwiched between the obverse and reverse so discoloration isn't a problem unless the glue bleeds into the paper and ink. In that case the glue is contraindicated. As for UV, that's covered by applying 1Krylon 1305 (UV resistant Clear Coat Acrylic ) and it can handle hot lamination and is ink-safe. ---- 1. I use it, or a non-UV version (Krylon 1303), for clear coating printed CD/DVD faces.
  15. The content is mixed artwork, text and a head-shot photograph. The material needs to be glued into an obverse and reverse, 2.188" x 3.375", monolithic ID badge that will be hot laminated. EDIT: I was thinking, and I'll have to try it, of an old natural glue that is made from egg white and flour.
  16. I am looking for suggestions for a glue to bond the reverse side of two photos/prints, back-to-back, using Epson - Premium Photo Paper Glossy. The bonded back-to-back photos/prints will then be hot laminated. The glue must be able handle the heat of the hot laminator, not bleed into the paper, not affect the ink nor bleed into the edges. TIA
  17. Updates are posted multiple numerous times per day.
  18. Yes, your account has existed for a while but the number of posts makes the case of a "new member". I can not submit a request to give you or any other "Edit" privilege. You may PM a Forum Administrator and have them edit your post(s). Otherwise you can just post and "addendum" to qualify the previous post.
  19. Not a good theory. I don't know if its related to an OCSP query or a problem with a Certificate Chain or if it is something "else".
  20. The real question is WHY SHOULD WE ? I don't think there should even be a Facebook Single Sign On (SSO).
  21. Don't sweat it. It is just atypical banter for the members.
  22. When you build your own (or you may say "roll your own") computer the motherboard will allow you to set a higher clock-rate than if you go with an OTC PC. That's the phun of it all. OC the CPU, keep it cool and see how fast you can run it w/o it crashing.
