Ferrari Mailing List: Re: (NFC) Computer help....!

   Norton - huge pig crashes lots hard to remove, corp edition a little
   better
   Mcafee - see above
   AVG - no experience
   eTrust - the best IMHO

AVG also uses less resources than Norton.  When I ran Norton my computer

Finding the link to the free version can be a challenge - if you need any 
help finding it please let me know --

Another option is to try AVG at [12]www.grisoft.com where you can download the
personal user version for free - it take some hunting to find the link to
the free anti-virus package - it's near the bottom of the page IIRC.  I've
been using it for several months and I have had zero problems.  I ran
Norton
for 10 years +/- and their frustrating tweaks that caused enough problems
that I looked for &  found an alternative which works perfectly.  It also
updates itself with out any user input.

It has not let any agents or virus through.

This probably isn't the answer you are looking for, but the easy answer
is
to switch to Norton (Symantec).  Like you, I was having some annoying
issues
with McAfee, so a little over a year ago (when it was time to renew), I
switched.  This was a tough decision for me because I was a very long
time
McAfee user and believer.

Now, Norton has some little annoying issues of its own (slower to scan
incoming and outgoing e-mail), but I seam to find them way less annoying
than the McAfee issues I was fighting.  So, I am basically happy with
Norton
and glad I switched.

However, I also run Prevx1, Spybot, and Ad-Aware SE.  I find that these 4
prevent or fix just about everything.  I just recently got Prevx1 and I
am
still evaluating it, but so far I really like it.  I especially like the
event notification (basically, every time a program launches, terminates,
or
accesses the web, I get a small notification popup that lasts a second or
two and goes away) and the recent activity (a log book of programs
activity
that you can go check).

Good luck,

Dave Craig

Charles, Jim:

I would contact McAfee then and tell them to fix their bug.  Did you by
any
chance get a new update to McAfee's product recently?  That would be
pretty
silly to put in a registry guard--saving window positions is pretty
normal
behavior, although moving them entirely off-screen or making them very
small
may be something useful to warn and/or guard against.

Oh well.

Dan

Jim -

That's not it. I'm having the same problem you are. Happens on my IE6
machine at work, but did not happen at home with either IE6 or 7. I know
why
it's happening (any time a program moves a web browser window or opens a
new
web browser window in a different spot), McAfee complains that the
registry
is changing, but the registry is just tracking where to open the web
browser
next time.

It's harmless, so you can continue to click Allow, but I, like you,
would
certainly like to know how to shut it off. That damned bell sound is
getting
really irritating.

You probably got the IE7 update in your last auto update of your
system.
I
suspect that enough changed there over IE6 that McAfee needs to be


updated


as well, or the IE registry guard turned off.  Alternatively, you
should
be
able to uninstall the IE7 portion of the update and go back to IE6. I
wouldn't recommend that--IE7 is pretty good, IMO of course.

I don't use any of that spyware/malware/adware auto detection shit.  I


run


as a plain user w/o administrative privileges, except when I have to
in
order to install/uninstall software or otherwise modify the system.


This


works way better than a piecemeal solution.

YMMV.

Gang,

I'm CONSTANTLY getting the following error message from McAfee which
started shortly after the last upgrade....I've googled it and
searched
their site and nothing.  Can anyone give advice as to what it is?   I
keep
blocking the change, but its getting annoying because its popping up
quite
often.  Computer has been scanned and no apparent viruses.

TIA,

JIM
