did u try to scan ur pc with av sw yet?

i just format my C:
But now after reinstalling my YM.... whenever i send a msg for instance " Hi how are you" it will appear as:-
this is awesome! www.messengertools.org/download.php?id=6226&do=download: hi how are you

apa saudah jadi?

.. nakal dat virus.. have u done check the proccess by Hijackthis?..

is there something to do with the registry?

Hijackthis can detect active process too.. run ur messenger and then run Hijackthis n see if u can detect any weird process.. it is just my opinion..

I think nortan internet security is the best.... no more adware or spy ware. last time when i did not use it and i run adware, it would detect many unwanted stuff ... but after NIS no more spyware, adware or viruses. NIS... The best!

Hmm, after trying a couple of av, come to the conclusion that kaspersky suite me the most

Reasons + comparison :
Bitdefender run 4 ~ 5 system module in the background and consume quite large amount of memory, you can really feel some "lag" when it's being switch on in background

AVG always give me false positive result, causing me to panic and do stupid stuff..

Kaspersky, set it to update manual, and schedule scan at 4am everyday, just works perfectly, and neat no. of system module running in background

for anti-spy/ad

Using
1. zone alarm pro(my thrusted firewall)
2. adware personal
3. spybot
4. spysweeper
5. deleted microsfot anti-spyware, just sucks.......

My defend rig:

1.NOD32 2.5
2.Look 'n' Stop
3.SpyDoctor ( the best spyware remover after the test by PC Magizine )

u sure u format all ur partition already?

I am using avg with adaware the free edition plus mozilla firefox. I usually use my com to go for online gaming only. So i just wondering whether is it enough for me? If not, do u guys have any suggestion for a good AV and anti-spyware combination.

I am planning to get the pirated version of bitdefender and spy sweeper. Is it available in Malaysia?? Can i receive any updates if i am using the pirated version of these software??

Definitely no for Webroot Spy Sweeper! Why? It will catch you with your first update checking: something like your serial has expired...

I have known for a fact that spy sweeper is not easy to be cracked! It is a good antispyware after all.

Anyway I am using CounterSpy from Sunbelt Software. It is the best in the market right now. Also the price is very reasonable, $19.95 for one year subscription; compared to other competitor's products, usually between $29 to $40. CounterSpy also received PC World World Class Award in the July 2005 issue! I would say go for it if you are looking for an outstanding antispyware program.

Counterspy does a good job in keeping yr PC clean, but the new version (1.5.77) had been a major disappointment for me, especially when it comes to resource usage. The previous version only takes around 10-20mb of memory, and even with the on-demand scanning, it never reach 30mb, which always a good thing when it comes to slow PC. But this time around, the resource (2 process) took somewhere from 30 to 50 mb of memory, and the CPU usage constantly spikes up to 80% during on-demand scanning.

And even worst, the customer support is not much of a help, with such silly and useless basic Q&A session sorta answer which can be really frustrating when you actually pay for this piece of software.

I haven't been really impressed with the new version of Spy Sweeper either, the whole WSSDK.exe process is a total mind boggling especially in a sense that it done absolutely nothing but just sitting there munching our PC memory.

I rather stick with safe surfing accompanied by sandboxie to keep the malware at bay.

AVG Free 7.1[361] Released

actually, counterspy was from Giant Antispyware(which was bought over by Microsoft). Counterspy, Giant Antispyware and MS antispyware are using the same engine, one of the best engine in the world.

But, i doubt it when MS bought it over. Once its under MS, the Anti MS software virues/spyware writers will eventually find holes in the engine itself.

Guys, i juz wanna ask, i'd read a mag "CHIP" March issue. They awarded BitDefender with Best Performance and Best Value. And it uses 30mb of ram only. Norton InternetSecurity 2005 uses 50mb of ram. My question is, which is the best Anti-Virus software to prevent my machine from viruses?? BitDefender?? Norton?? Or any others??? Pls gimme some opinion, thx guys.

30MB? That's a lot...
My Antivir only uses around 10, and I feel quite secure using it too, despite the download size of each update is unreasonably big

I used AntiVir b4. Not very secure enough cuz im using mIRC daily. I need something which is better. Hmmm.....i think i'll go for Panda or BitDefender.....
