Abuzz memories - share 'em, love 'em, post 'em.

What about McAfee?

Any sort of damn rodent can just slip in and out of here! We need something a lot more serious than hamsters on 'High Alert', a sort of electronic 'rabbit-proof fence' as it were.................

Norton is in general not good. Antivir is just a virus scanner, for a firewall there is also gratis but reowned Outpost, http://www.agnitum.com/download/outpost1.html

No, Antivir doesn't contain a firewall - because you don't need one. Trust me. Instead, you just need to configure your Windows correctly. Unfortunately I don't have a good link to english websites that explain how to do it, though.

One simple thing I can tell you though: if you are using Windows 2000 or XP, don't use a user with Administrator rights for working - instead, use a normal user and onyl switch to the Administrator if necessary.

Also, stop using Outlook/Outlook Express and Internet Explorer and use safer programs, like Mozilla Thunderbird (email client) and Mozilla Firefox (browser).

I agree with hihp. That's also right.

It is already better than Norton.

Thanks, thok I might not be a techie per se, but I do have some knowledge. And a rather secure Win2k (I hope)...

I just came from Abuzz. So far, on Sept 3, it's still up.

yeah, at first i thought it must still be yesterday over there, then i realised its tomorrow here

or something

perhaps abuzz now lives in the matrix

hey edgar, hey hihp ~ still pashin the princess?

Hi moondoggy... you avatar is really fitting well to your name...

And in spite of the fact that I have no clue whatsoever as to what "pashin" means, I shall try answering with a careful "yes?" :-)

it fits my name but burns my tail


ps ~ pash = french kissing

Well... I won't tell about pashin', but we're still together :-)

Hey, considering the fact that you joined almost two years ago, you haven't posted too much here

i've been too busy finishing the degree

Well, that explains it indeed :-) have you already? Or still working at it?

last semester

coolio :-) I finished my studying by taking oral exams at the end of May... now I'm a jurist :-) or something like that. Well, not completely, but...

mmm, i always take it orally

LOL :-) why am I not surprised? It was mandatory, actually ;-)

It takes a while in Germany to become a "Volljurist".

Which is why I not yet am one - but having passed the first state exam is about the first half done.
