    Questions for AVG 6.0 Free edition users

    Unfortunately, neither seem to be working. When opening an office doc, I see no evidence that its being scanned. Interesting. The user's system has XP home and Outlook 2K and no cerfification tag is given for incoming mail. Outgoing, however, recieves a tag. I tried this on my own system...

    Questions for AVG 6.0 Free edition users

    A couple of little questions, which don't matter for myself, but are in regards to setting AVG up on a computer whose user, if left unprotected, probably falls in a higher risk category for viral infection. 1) In the readme file that accompanies the d/l, it states Yet there is no such batch...

    Kerio Personal Firewall for windows....Free version

    Jan, moving the slider over to the right, I see "Time interval" right between "Protocol" and "Applications". BTW, there may be a bug in Overview > Preferences > Check Now. Whenever I try, it sends something out but I always get a message that there was a server error. However, that may be...

    Best movie you've seen

    I saw Ravenous a couple of years ago on disc. I thought it started off really good - first half hour or so - but then it just went downhill really quick. CK

    Zip program with specific features

    Err, on re-reading your question, I'm not certain what you want. Do you want the directory structure preserved in the zip archive file, or do you mean you want to compress a whole bunch of files on your disk? If your just looking to compress the files, use windows built in file compression.

    EAC rips music from CDs. If you want to do it right, you use EAC. I'll let the links do the technical explaining what is so good about it and why you should use EAC as opposed to anything else. You will also find quick start guides at the below links, as all of EAC's options can be hard to...

    Building a Storage Server Thread

    That looks like another variation from Chemming. I like the idea of the rotated HDD cage, but I don't like the air flow that one would have, nor do I like the fact that the cage leaves no room at the back (i.e. its positioned against the cases right panel, thereby taking away the option of...

    US government agency takes on Pop-up software

    I think you over estimate the computing prowess of the typical user because: a) I don't think most would clue in on the "Windows Messaging" title. If they are capable of performing a search (key word being capable) they are far more likely to just type "popups". The first page of Google...

    Blake, given that you purchased the C-Line binder, why did you end up getting Fellows additional sheets instead of sticking with the C-line brand ? Was that just a mistake or oversight, or was it a case that you bought the C-line binder online and then picked up the additional sheets at a B&M...

    Antique SCSI transfer modes

    If my one and only experience with them on the phone is any indication, then I would have to agree. When I called regarding a shipping question, the guy I spoke to sounded like he had just woken up and was all pissed off because my call had disturbed his nap.

    Just going by what the Dell announcement said ("It will be available as a standalone product and in additional countries over the next few months."), I don't think so Pradeep. And even when it does become available here, it will: 1) be horribly priced 2) hardly ever go one sale 3) on those...

    Yep. The v5's modern skin has a pretty large footprint in memory (even more then v3's). It seems to fluctuate between 9-17MB. Using the classic skin with v5 drops that mem useage to a much more reasonable 2-6MB range. For comparison, Version 3 seems to take the middle ground, using...

    Dumb Question #2, Re: Inkjet printer refill cartridges

    For your IE needs, you should try out MyIE2 (if you haven't already :D ). Firebird is nice and I use it a fair amount, but I find that it is currently a little too rudimentary. I'm not overly fond of the default, largely uncustomizable, tool and menu bars. CK
