Agozer Posted October 30, 2005 Share Posted October 30, 2005 Unprotected Windows machines get infected between four to ten minutes after being hooked to the intenet. You don't even have to use the internet or email. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sybarite Paladin AxL Posted October 30, 2005 Author Share Posted October 30, 2005 yeah, after I format I'm not gonna hook it up unless I have a firewall running before I set the internet ips and stuff, and router firewalls are overrated imo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bobdrakke Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 I'll use Avg free and zonealarm and sysgate on my dualboot both work quite well. As for codecs I have klite pack and ffdshow. I installed the latest offical build of ffdshow in the opions ask do you want it to handle mp4 and mpeg, I ticked the boxes. Now every time I run VLC or any other app running the above files I get 2 ffdshow icons in the syst tray this is annoying me is there another round this apart from using a different codec pack?

Agozer Posted November 2, 2005 Share Posted November 2, 2005 The ffdshow codec defaults to showing the control panels for both audio and video in the System Tray. Those can be turned off from the ffdshow video/audio filter properties respectively. btw, I wouldn't go ticking any extra checkboxes during install, other than what is already checked. Checking some of them can make certain video formats play a lot poorly than before (this is not always apparent if you just watch video files that are on your HDD, but if those files are embedded into a, let's say, a game then you might see problems).

Sybarite Paladin AxL Posted November 3, 2005 Author Share Posted November 3, 2005 (edited) preparing pc for format, I'm currently looking to see what I can save, and I'm gonna scan for viruses with alot of different antiviruses till I'm satisfied so as I'm certain I don't get any crap on the files I wanna backup and I'm pretty certain the router firewalls aren't so much better then people say.edit: any other useful proggies to have around? (not necesarelly security mind you) Edited November 3, 2005 by AxL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
