Just checked out Hitman Pro... Sorry, but can't say I'm impressed by what I'm reading...

http://www.surfing-safe.com/spyware/hitmanpro.php

Read this up...

It does simplify the installation process of all the Adware/Malware/Spyware whatever scanner, but the program does come with its own set of problems... Personally, I'd say download everything manually, one by one...

But, not all people have that kind of time... Right? Use it AFTER you've read the article...

Currently compiling the links to all recommended software for Frontpage...

Added on June 3, 2007, 10:33 amHmm, that would be interesting! I'm using Vista sadly...

Hey, thanks for the vote of confidence... I'm just trying here, hoping I'm doing a good enough job helping people...

CS? I'm ok-ok at that... Prefer CS:Source though (which I can console edit for slow-mo against bots, really cool)... Playing Republic Commando right now, and I can say it's one of the best FPS I've ever played... Runs swell on the M1210 too!

I have both but nothing is better than CS 1.6. It is just more precise and more fun in terms of the map and everything. CS:S has cooler graphic and physics, but that doesnt mean it will have a better gameplay. Both get great metapoints @ Steam.. so i wouldnt complain either one. But i definitely prefer CS 1.6 tho. so again anyone here good at it ?


and i found out about Hitman Pro not by myself. I found it at Maximum PC magazine. If it does some sort of scam or corrupted software, I think i already see myself being rich by sueing the mag for false-advertising; punitive-damage and compensation damage for 1 million dollars. haha.

I use it myself and it has nothing wrong with it so far. My friend was invaded by some spywares and I suggested him Hitman Pro, he said Hitman Pro rocks, it cleans the crap out of his laptop. Again, preference. And thanks to Eiraku too, if not i will be held responsible by some of forumers here.

Nah... It works for some, doesn't for others... Like you said, preference, and luck...

Hello derred, yes, I do believe I'm saying my replacement unit has a slight wobble. AGAIN.

Dell must think they can dupe girls or something... by giving them lemons and thinking they will accept them. *ahem*...*waves*

My web camera gives electric leaks I believe... when you touch it, you get a nice fuzzy furry feeling... definitely electricity yes? Had it before on my compaq so I think I know how it feels.

Get a full refund, you think?

Hmm Eiraku that will be an interesting project for the XP start-up even BEFORE we key-in our windows password.. I can do it by request (as not much ppl are using Windows log-in user password) and must be before Monday starts.. which means i only have time before tomorrow.. If not im sorry to say u have to wait for another weekends or the next next week if i have some busy stuff for the next week then.. if i have something for the n...

@pigduck

I dont know but u might get full refund.. good luck finding the perfect laptop for u.. If i were you, ill look back and rethink.. what is it that I actually want from it? ultra-portability while on the go? Powerful enuf for its kind when it is not on the go? If I were u, adjust the slight wobble, if it's not perfect enuf, then get a external keyboard for home use. Like what im currently on, a fine 16 bucks bluetooth keyboard. In fact, why do we all have bluetooth and never use it? then get ur bluetooth on and use it. Just my 2 cents. Hope it helps.

now im having 2 xps at the moment,my old unit is a toshiba lcd & its little yellowish like..while my new unit which come with webcam(rumour said lcd with webcam will be better) is a toshiba lcd also,but this unit looks bright not yellowish at all,& i dint notice any color leakage when compare both together..

regarding the electricity leakage problem, i suppose u guys are using extension plugs right? izzit sirim approved? previously my brother's latitude laptop had this problem too. Dell changed the power cord and mobo, and the problem persists, till another technician came, and suspected about the extension plug...... and the problem is solved.... try not using any extension cord n c.... that should fix it...

Voltage regulator + full use 4 pin extension plug here... No electric leaks...

Added on June 3, 2007, 3:34 pmLike I said, interesting stuff... Shame I'm on Vista rite now... Last time I even had a flash driven log-on screen for my WinXP, full animation summore... Ah, days long gone...

those 4 pin extension plug should be fine, the one that my brother's had problem with is those... erm... how to say.... the small cuboidal thingy (dunno what izzit called.. LoL)....

Ah, the multiplug socket thingamajiger... One of that is ON the 4pin plug... Powering the DVD player, my external DVD Burner/External HDD (sharing power cords) and my personal fan (in an air conditioned room... )...

I hope the voltage regulator does what it's supposed to...

portability is something for me.

we'll see what happens. I'll ask...

Hmm... initially I thought I was having problems with the adapter. Dell technician came over and gave me a new adapter and changed a few parts in the laptop but that didn't solve the problem. Anyhow, my dad was testing my laptop last night running on battery alone and yet he still get the mild electric shock.

Agree with pigduck the webcam is one of the culprit areas. Other parts include absolute left side, middle (the part to plug in mic and earphones) and absolute right side of the front area. Other parts are ok.

I ordered mine without the webcam so I can't confirm that happening, besides the fact that my M1210 isn't leaking electricity at all (at least not that I can feel)...

But leaking electricity when running on battery? Now that's bad...

Try not to get it fixed... I've got a feeling that it's just gonna leak electricity summore... Get it replaced if possible...

EDIT: I hope it's not just static electricity...

oh yeah... i plug my adapter to the wall so it still leaks electricity...

perhaps you need downstepper voltage (if it's available..)
i wonder why you have leaks electricity for your notebook, in fact you are using it's offcial power adapter which is for South East Asia voltage current.

edit: typo.

thinking of getting a XPS soon.
wondering what's d difference between Core 2 Duo T5600 and Core 2 Duo T7200. pls advice. thx

T5600 is 1.83GHz 667FSB 2MB cache
T7200 is 2.0GHz 667FSB 4MB cache

so i guess it doesnt make much diffence lo? lol
although extra 2MB cache would make d differences
