YoKenny1 Posted April 22, 2008 ID:16904 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I dumped SiteAdvisor long ago and replaced it with Sitehound which is much better IMO.SiteHound Download for IE and FF I have had problems with SiteHound really slowing down my XP Home system that I won a free licence from Calendar of Updates ages ago. I requested the key to try the updated version of SiteHound 10 days ago and have not heard back from them since. Read my dealings with Firetrust regarding my free licence of MailWasher I won at a competition at hpHosts forum:http://forum.hosts-file.net/viewtopic.php?...886f55963c53c87 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MysteryFCM Posted April 22, 2008 ID:16911 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I requested the key to try the updated version of SiteHound 10 days ago and have not heard back from them since.To be fair, Chris sent your key, and is going to look into why you haven't received it yet, as he mentioned to you on your thread at hpHosts (Chris is very reliable when it comes to replying). In this specific case, it is more than possible that the e-mail simply got "lost in the post" as it were (it's been known to happen), or was caught by a spam filter or some such somewhere between his end and yours.

Tarun Posted April 22, 2008 ID:16961 Share Posted April 22, 2008 I received an email from them. Unfortunately it sounds like a canned reply. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never received any key info in my email and I have purposefully kept all corespondence with Firetrust in plain text files as Outlook Express could become corupted as it is wont to do.

YoKenny1 Posted April 23, 2008 ID:17036 Share Posted April 23, 2008 I un-installed SiteAdvisor and performance is acceptable.So I guess its just like running two active anti virus scanners where they tend to interfere with each other.I found this out by using the System Explorer application as it showed SA consuming 100% CPU.

YoKenny1 Posted April 24, 2008 ID:17078 Share Posted April 24, 2008 @YoKenny I use both SH & SA with FF and have no slow down at all. What are the specifications of the system that SA and SH works well on?The XP Home system is a 2.4GHZ P4 with 512MB RAM.I received the keys from Chris and its working well but there is a bit of a slowdown on the first load of IE7 as SH activates but its fine after that.

Hardhead Posted April 24, 2008 ID:17087 Share Posted April 24, 2008 Hey Kenny,Specifications can be found here for SiteHound.The reason you see the slowdown when you open IE is because Sitehound is loading and searching for updates. Also the older updates will be purged. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As HardHead says it will slow the system during an update, depending how much other stuff I have going at the time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
