At Least FIVE Anti-Spyware Programs

Kerry System Restore can restore malware! Of course it could. The context was making a restore point right before installing a program then going back to that restore point if some malware came in with the install. This may temporarily stop the malware but most malware would survive this and come back within one or two reboots. Kerry |

Good Post. Sound Advice. We don't work on computers for a living -- and have lives beyond the Cybernetic. Shenan fails to understand that simple fact of life. DSH Shenan's advice is very good advice. If everyone followed it there would be far less spyware as it wouldn't be financially lucrative to infect the few people that didn't follow the advice. Unfortunately my experience has been that most people will only do what is absolutely necessary. I would like all of my customers to follow Shenan's advice. I am pragmatic enough to know that most won't so I recommend a course of action that will defend them against most spyware and warn them that eventually they may become infected again. If someone appears keen I will recommend something very similar to Shenan's advice. Kerry |

Thanks, Gerry. I think Shenan was on target about the *troll* ;-)

Stop Dreaming...
Most people are simply NOT going to install, update, tweak, watch and WORK five or six Anti-Spyware programs. So, you are whistling in the wind. The best you can hope for is that they will use Norton or McAfee, keep it updated, do system scans regularly and watch for new products such as the Microsoft beta.

At Least FIVE Anti-Spyware Programs
On Tuesday 17 January 2006 02:18 pm, D. Spencer Hines had this to say in
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general: Do you honestly expect folks to install at least FIVE different Anti-Spyware programs, keep them updated, monitor them and constantly tweak each one as required? DSH Well that's just part of the Windoze eXPerience. :-) Free yourself and your computer - try Linux. -- A Microsoft Certified System Engineer is to information technology as a McDonalds Certified Food Specialist is to the culinary arts. |

Remarkable. This month is the 20th anniversary of the first virus
(brain). so your artillery must therefore predate the first virus. Or are you telling porkies? again http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/4630910.stm D. Spencer Hines wrote: Bingo!

As I noted previously, I also have backup artillery ready to fire -- if required -- but have never had to use it in over 20 years.
