Default MICROSOFT XP OS UNBREAKABLE WITH...

Well I read the add and decided to risk £8 of my own personal money and
heres what I thought:

I wiped my machine and setup windows just as I wanted it, turned off
automatic updates, and decided to challenge the theory behind the reset
card - I DIDNT install an antivirus, which can be risky business with
Microsofts latest OS on a broadband connection that just seems to hoover up
all of the viruses on the internet. The card was very easy to install and
just seemed to work! After a while of messing with my desktop icons making a
complete mess (I messed with the icons to make sure the product worked
before taking it on the net) I gave my pc a reboot, when windows booted up I
was quite pleased to see my desktop clean and tidy. I then decided to give
the card a real test. After visiting several "moody" websites I had ended
up with aload of dialers, adware, viruses etc etc etc... after an hour or so
my pc finaly graunched to a halt, I decided to reboot the pc to find that
windows was just back to normal, no viruses, adware, spyware. I think this
card is probaly the best thing available on the net today! It costs under
£10 (wich is cheaper than any antivirus i have ever seen) It works and means
that you can even show off by challenging people to break the computer. All
in all a very usefull gadget!

Thanks Bad Dog. I merely was pointing out the uselessness of THH's posting.

It mentions nothing of the 'product' only his joy.

Kinda like, it's a wonderful day here ...come and join me! Where?

I don't need to waste my time or my money to know that it is a useless piece
of crap.
Your card cannot do what you claim it can do.
You cannot seem to understand that there are people in the world who can see
past the smoke and mirrors you so diligently use to try and pry a few
dollars from them.
The sad part is not that you take a measly 8 pounds form them...the sad part
is that they might actually believe that the card would work as you
claim...that they do not need antivirus protection...that they do not need a
firewall...that their personal information would not be in great
jeopardy...well you get the picture.

If it were up to me, I would have you arrested for false advertising and
wire fraud.

At least in the old west, in the heyday of the snake oil salesmen, someone
could run you out of town. Sadly, in this wonderful age, we cannot stop
quacks and hucksters such as yourself from trying to profit at the expense
of others.

Can you back up a single claim you make regarding your product? Can you
cite a single *INDEPENDENT* source that will verify that this card does what
you claim it can do?
I don't think so.

You are simply a sniggling little worm that refuses to stop irritating
everyone with your useless crap.

Grow up.

Windows without worrying about trojans.

The point is...you get the virus! Do you not understand that this puts any
and all information on your computer at risk? If you can get viruses, you
can get Trojans, worms, zombies etc. Your machine will be infecting other
machines until you reboot. Your machine becomes a threat every time it is
on the internet. There is no guarantee that the card can wipe all
infections on a reboot. The card is worthless. You sound like a rational
and intelligent person. Surely you can understand that this card cannot
give you any protection. It is junk. I truly wish you would understand
that you cannot run your computer without adequate security measures.
Everyone in your address book is at risk. Your computer becomes a vector to
infect other computers, to integrate into DDOS attacks, or may be
compromising all of your personal information to anyone who wants it.

If you are in fact using this card and think it gives you any security at
all...I truly feel sorry for you.
You are too gullible for your own good.

umm, he's telling the truth...atleast there is hardware on the market
that does this. i work with this kind of hardware all day at a local
community college. they also have software that does a very nice job at
doing this.

the hardware, centurion guard (do a google search) connects to
your floppy drive cable, and that's that. it includes a little lock and
key device that hooks up to the device that connects to the floppy
cable.

the software, drive shield and drive shield plus, work by running
in the background under a password. password on, software is enabled,
password off, you can have your way with it. i have been using this
software at my house for 3 months and have reduced my maintenance down
to nothing.

in case anyone is wondering about the level of effectiveness the
hardware version offers, i deleted ALL partitions in dos, rebooted, and
it booted up like nothing had ever happened. i have not yet tested the
software version to this extreme, but im sure it would be no less
effective.

all in all, i think a bunch of you got a little out of hand for no
real reason. do you guys just have long days and get frustrated when you
come home from work/school? well, im not sure, but whatever the case is,
just relax.

and for what its worth, you don't need any antivirus software when you
use this hardware/software. the school i work at only uses virii
scanning software because its a state mandate. we don't bother keeping
the virii db up to date though, there's no point.

wind3D im am at last glad to have found someone who sees things from my
point of view, I agree in the day to day running of computer systems it
completely axe's maintenence time to little or none, it can also get rid of
"nightmare customers" all in all a very handy and cost effective solution.

umm, he's telling the truth...atleast there is hardware on the market
that does this. i work with this kind of hardware all day at a local
community college. they also have software that does a very nice job at
doing this.

the hardware, centurion guard (do a google search) connects to
your floppy drive cable, and that's that. it includes a little lock and
key device that hooks up to the device that connects to the floppy
cable.

the software, drive shield and drive shield plus, work by running
in the background under a password. password on, software is enabled,
password off, you can have your way with it. i have been using this
software at my house for 3 months and have reduced my maintenance down
to nothing.

in case anyone is wondering about the level of effectiveness the
hardware version offers, i deleted ALL partitions in dos, rebooted, and
it booted up like nothing had ever happened. i have not yet tested the
software version to this extreme, but im sure it would be no less
effective.

all in all, i think a bunch of you got a little out of hand for no
real reason. do you guys just have long days and get frustrated when you
come home from work/school? well, im not sure, but whatever the case is,
just relax.

That's wonderful - I'm almost sold, just one question :-)

So when my PC gets infected by a trojan that sends my personal
information to some server in Russia, all I have to do is reboot and the
trojan will disappear along with all copies of my personal information
wherever they may be, right?
