That's because they've all been moved into one nice convenient package.

I have come to rely on DCUpdater to update FARR and all of its plugins. It never offered such a package. And I never noticed that they were "replaced" by that. Hopefully it has not become a requirement to scour the forum for such changes?Having read that thread is there any point in upgrading to version 4?-Carol Haynes (March 17, 2009, 09:33 AM)
I agree it's nice to see password recovery tools flagged as potential viruses, I've also seen nod32 flag a lot of irc scripts and nasty bots coded for the linux bash shell while I've been downloading them for analysis onto a windows machine.
Spybot is strictly dictionary based as far as I'm aware,
and yes, you can do just a heuristic scan with nod32 - latest version for sure. The easiest way to do so is to open up nod32, select computer scan, click on custom scan, click on setup, then on the left go to options - there you can disable everything but heuristics and advanced heuristics.
I haven't had any problems with NOD32 (viruses or annoyances with the nod32 software) in the past 2 years. I highly recommend it.-codyBane (March 16, 2009, 03:05 PM)

There's a very detailed post I made about email etiquette/netiquette and the reasons behind it (e.g., the effect of email behaviours on network resources and mailservers). It's not just about "good manners". Might be too detailed for your needs though.
Hope this is of some use/help.

I have a question for everyone. Ever since getting my wife her laptop for school, I have come to the realization that most of these OFFICIAL media players for various formats are very wildly over-attacked for their abilities. For example, quicktime and real player. My biggest gripe with real player was from back in the day when it used to startup several programs and alert me with these advertisements. Given the recent trend, they have seriously cleaned up their act. I have no problems with them at all now. The same goes for quicktime. I installed it and after disabling the apple software update service, I had no problems with it. The players are really well thought out and function great. They have seemless integration with various web browsers and serve their purpose. Now, I do not use any of them as a default player for my various media files, I use KMPlayer for that, but I do rely on their players for browser-based playback. Heck, real and apple have both included ways for me to save various media files without having to resort to rippers such as streambox.
Now, that said, I have tried the alternatives such as "Real alternative" and QTLite. Both are OK, but both have caused me to have to reinstall them because some component became unregistered in my system or just wasn't playing right after a browser update or other software update. The default official players, however, have never failed since my recent experiment over the last few months. This leads me to the question, are these players as horrid as they once were to most? Or is it the old "They started out evil and will remain so" reputation that most larger corporations get?

Quicktime alternative is just the codecs ripped out from the full QT package, isn't it? And how often is it updated compared to the main package?-f0dder (March 15, 2009, 07:21 PM)
Try the following:
Download the iTunes installer.
The installer is an archive file which can be unpacked - I am not sure which apps will do this but I have found WinRAR can unpack it to a folder.
Inside the unpacked folder is QuickTime.msi which allows you to only install QuickTime.-Carol Haynes (March 15, 2009, 08:04 PM)
NOD32 seems NirSoft these days (at least the version I am running doesn't seem to flag issues and I don't have exclusions listed). I used to have odd problems with some of their Password stuff in NOD32 v. 2.7 but in V. 3 it seems to be fixed. In version 2.7 I added the offending files to the exclusions list and then it didn't trouble me.
To be fair I think flagging password utilities as potential password stealers is a reasonable thing to do - at least it means someone who has the software installed without their permission will get a warning and anyone who needs to use the software should know how to get round potential warning problems.-Carol Haynes (March 15, 2009, 04:11 PM)
I use DOPUS for the past 3 years. Never knew this ALT+Dbl Left click existed.
Thanks
How about getting dopus to display only files that were "lastr modified" today..., yesterday...., this week etc. right from toolbar-ganrad (March 14, 2009, 10:55 PM)
On a related note, I was able to access their newsgroup/mailing list and it is VERY active. Seems like all the important discussions happen in there. A bit antiquated in my opinion, but it is a poweruser email program so i can understand why they gravitate towards using mailing lists and newsgroups.-superboyac (March 14, 2009, 02:53 PM)
I think not! Has nothing to do with whether a program is for, (Ahem!) "powerusers". To me it just indiciates that the developer of the program has probably been around computers for a long time and is accustomed to/more familiar and comfortable with such media.In this forum, the users of The Bat! can communicate with each other to spread their positive attitude toward The Bat!, to share the experience in attaining different goals using The Bat!
And then the standards question, if we are talking actual STANDARDS then yes I agree. If we are talking passing the ACID# test, then I disagree. The acid test, while good in a test environment, is not valid for every day in the wild browsing.-Josh (March 10, 2009, 06:17 PM)
But they fail to consider this:
If Microsoft didn't include a browser with their OS, then what would you use to visit a site and download your browser of choice?
(I probably used my Apple II!! Or maybe my Mosaic or Lynx browser. Or maybe I just used one of the 346,000,000 "Free Disks" I received from just about everywhere!)There's reasons people are "anti" big companies, or quick to give them a hard time.-tomos (March 10, 2009, 11:25 AM)
