George,
Tagging on to end of this thread am wondering whether there's any
benefit having one programme that does all such as Norton Security.
I ask as have had serious problem with Spy ware, Trojans etc that
resulted in my pc being taken away and nuked by a friend - he works in
IT and said he'd never come across such malicious spy ware, it was a
zombie that kept coming back to life once you thought you'd killed it.
Anyway the problem is solved but has prompted me to think about whether
I need different security solution. I currently use AVG free 7
antivirus, Win Up firewall, MS Antispyware programme and occasionally
run adaware. I know there is tuff out there that says it can do all
this in one but was wondering whether there's any benefits in terms of
either overall security or Jaws-usability.
Am using all this on a Win XP home machine with Jaws 6.1.
Thanks,
Phil

Hi Joan,
Following up on my earlier reply, McAfee checks for viruses, Spybot
checks for malicious spyware. Subtle difference, and of course both
products are essential these days.
George.

Hi, Tom and Darran,
Thanks for responding.
Well, according to my arrowing around it only says that thing
about Exploit so I assumed that was the offending file or series of
files or whatever.
This is a fairly new machine and I have McAfee installed. It has
never found a virus though of course there could have been one I
suppose.
I suppose I'll just have to leave them happily there.
Best wishes,
Joan.

Hi Joan,
Can you get any inf on the names of the problems it
finds?
Try jaws key plus B to read dialogue or root jaws to the
window and up and down num pad arrows.
I had the same cycle as you with 5 problems unfixable.
In my case it referred to altNet an old virus.
Let us know what you get.
Tom

Hi, Folks,
Have now got Spybot installed.
However, each time I run it, I am told there are
five problems, DSO Exploit.
Then I use alt F to tell it to fix the problems
and enter on the yes button. Then it says, confirmation, ok button so I
enter again and it says, 5 problems found DSO Exploit.
We could go round in this circle indefinitely
but it never does fix these five problems. At least each time I try it
again no more problems appear to be found.
What am I supposed to do to get them eradicated?
Best wishes,
Joan.
