WHAT THE HELLL.... After installing the damn free avg anti virus... It is blocking some of my favourite warez site ...... ( like bb , w) Could any sifu here teach me how to remove this stupid block .... ZZ thanks in advance

Why want to unblocking those web?? For ur pc safety what...

just go into the option area of the antivirus n put those website tat u wish to unblock into the exception list.....

actually, i felt the best way is to uninstall all the damn anti virus software.
i personally not been using anti virus software, after understanding how a virus works.
sometimes, u got all this antivirus software oso your comp kena virus, then have to reformat. mights well dont use anti virus rite?

and if you dont use anti virus, there will be no notification for you about your comp is attacked by virus. but that doesnt mean your comp is dangerous. if you got anti virus, watever device u plug in ur comp, sure got notification of AUTORUN32.exe this kinda stuff come out. but it is not harmful to your computer rite?

conclusion, take off the damn anti virus software. i've been fine and my comp workign pretty well all the time. maybe once in a year i format it, just to clear some stuff. thats about it.

yapster

ya...i agree..

the anti-virus it self is a virus to me..make my com lag and slow,

last time i fix one computer. one super weird problem happen, even after came back from warranty. the notebook manufacturer oso dunno how to fix that. once i simply play with it and uninstall the norton, the problem dissapear. all this anti virus is the most useless thing in the world.

u install antivirus, but if kena malware or spyware then have to purchase adi. damn stupid. mights well dun give out free anti virus

moreover, if you ever own a PC using Window OS. your comp definitely have virus. whether u got anti virus or not. i can assure that.
if your comp no virus, then dun call urself using windows

Its not really the Anti Virus Software faults.You need to configure by yourself la.About Norton,yes Norton old version make computer very slow,but now no more.But at least,if you got Anti Virus it will protect you rather than making your computer more vulruneable.If thats so why most of bank,gaming company use Anti Virus..etc?

banks and company use anti virus bcoz they need it. their files are important. the difference between they all and us is, they got money to pay for GENUINE software which got full protection.

but we as normal consumer wouldnt want to pay for that, and that is why we only have free software to use. if free software to use oso can kena virus. i really wont go n download and use it. is really a waste of time for me. i rather spend half n hour reformating my comp.

im saying that anti virus is useless based on the point of we all as consumer. not company and banks. im working now, so i do understand the need to anti virus in company PC, but not personal. hhaha

cheers

HAHAHAHHA GOOD JOKE, n00b. Can post in Jokes Heaven?
You sure love to format your pc. I haven't got the need to format it even after 5 years, thanks to a combination of good computing practice, good firewall, antivirus, antispyware and secured browser.

Seriously, I wanted to refrain myself from flaming that guy, but wtf, does he listen to what he is saying ?

LOL... my reaction is exactly the same as the look on my avatar when I read his replies. And btw, my PC has been relatively problem-free since day 1, thanks to the softwares I mentioned above, and they're all totally FREE.

To TS, warez sites are full of trojan horses and viruses. You shouldn't blame AVG for blocking them, it's trying to protect you. But I advise you to get a better antivirus. AVG is a really weak antivirus - it gives a lot of false alarms and yet lets through a lot of common viruses. And when it does detect the viruses, it cannot remove or delete the infected files.

That makes 2 of us and the whole bunch of regular security enthusiast...

Prevention is better than cure... ever heard of this phrase? From what you've practice the method you use is "Dah kene, then cure by reformat". For you info, there's some malwares out there in the wild that if it infected your computer, it will leave some bad sector...

Also if you've got paypal @ similar account, better watch out. Keylogger, rootkit type of infection may make your account zero already...

Honestly speaking, what is a reformat for?

It is used when your system files are SO badly corrupted that even a normal fix wouldn't be able to settle the issue as it has totally destabilize your PC.

Honestly, this thread ought to be closed as it serves NO purpose at all.

~Cheers!

ya reformatting is not fun at all
i rather get good security programmes, and spend some lil time maintaining my comp also

be mac user; stress free

i dint format my pc as well, and i dont use anti-virus

simple,

minor virus, i can cur emy self

serious virus, anti-virus,anti-hacker, anti-spyware also no use..

Your points are contradicting anyway. For Winblowz Windows , you'll need an antivirus. Its a must have as usually there are hidden trojans/worms in a site that could be harmful even though you're taking all the precautionary steps

If you can't afford to fork out and buy genuine software , then stop using Windows. Use Linux , ubuntu is a very good alternative to Windows. So , then you don't have to worry about using pirated software and such !

i just do my own reseach... I think i know why the site got blocked... The site basically got no virus, hacking stuff , no malware , no nothing.. It has a forum 3 times bigger(or more ) than lowyat.net , but certain companies ( eg. record company, movie , music) paid some famous antivirus to simply block all these "sites" which make them(the record/movie/game companies) "unhappy"(I belive people in here is able to understand why these companies is unhappy).. This also applies to kapersky , norton virus , etc.. alot alot of antivirus is involve wif this ..


Lastly if u want to know whats a warez site ... pm me... Moderators are very sensitive with this.. DOnt wory, is not something "bad" .

I think just abit out of the topic about unblock certain site.

but anyway
@bergeryap87 nice to heard that ur comp doesn't have much CRITICAL virus so far.(might coming soon).in some point i agree with you, the chances to hit by serious virus are abit low for normal user. Not like big organisation, if their comp doesn't have any anti virus, they wound prob die in 1 day.
But i cant see any problem with using anti-virus software. u said that u can fix all the small viruses by urself? becoz u cant find those BIG one. and you dun even know it, virus doesn't means to be mess around ur comp, it can do much more than that right?
BTW i swear, i would prob never accept any files from you comp; if u give it to me, or send to me or whatever files from ur comp. (lucky i am not ur fren) ... haha NO OFFEND
