RE: [DUG-Offtopic] Ad-Aware

[David O'Brien]

In my experience, the continual pop-up of the dial-up can be your anti-virus program. Use MS-Config to easily work out what is doing it... Disable half the start-up progs, reboot, then halve each etc until you find the culprit.   Dave.

I'm told by my supplier that its the best (and most expensive) way to go but that even that wont stop the greeblies.   I've have been plagued with the continual pop up of my Dial Up Connection box by something attempting to access the net. So far I haven't found it but at least with ADSL it won't be as evident. I get access on Thursday.    I've been using McAfee Antivirus as well, obviously its failing me. ----- Original Message ----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, August 24, 2004 3:10 PM Subject: RE: [DUG-Offtopic] Ad-Aware I take it you run a firewall?   I'm not really an expert, but I feel my PC's pretty safe with a decent firewall, up-to-date virus scanner (Norton myself), and SpyBot.   Not sure what else one can do.   Cheers,   C.   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of Colin/Mina I've had no problems except that I have found that neither Ad-Aware nor SpyBot do the job on their own. I find that I need both to be sure of a successful clean up.  Be sure that you keep each updated!   It's still putting the ambulance at the bottom of the cliff. I'd appreciate a suggestion as to a good filter to act as a fence.   _______________________________________________ Offtopic mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://ns3.123.co.nz/mailman/listinfo/offtopic
