Restoration has one clever feature which the other recovery tools mentioned on this thread are missing: it will offer to delete all unrecoverable files found. I clicked 'yes' and was relieved of 10,000 files!You weren't "relieve of 10,000 files" - you just made 10,000 files even more unrecoverable-Curt (January 24, 2007, 09:57 AM)
). ). The longer you're working with Windows, the more residu of opened files clutter up your harddisk. Even cleaning up and defragmenting does not clean up your disk entirly. Process tamer will then not be able to get a fix on where exactly it should look for the process to tame, because it gets mystified by windows. Reinstalling solves this problem.This has nothing to do with it - process tamer doesn't even know nor care what file is used for a process it's taming.-FHM1
windows takes a lot of time of cleaning up the threads and in the worst case create a stack overflow in the GDI resources thus rendering your system to be nonresponding. Adding a Ramcontroller helps out for a while, but a reboot does a better job.Trying to sound smart? That was absolute gibberish. "Stack overflow in GDI resources"? Gibberish. "Adding a Ramcontroller"? Can't do that, part of either the chipset or (in case of AMD64), the CPU.-FHM1
Sorry, I don't have a better cameraYou're not ugly, au contraire. But you should do something about that 1970'es style haircut
(which is good, because like that you can't see that i'm really ugly and that's not the camera's fault)-jgpaiva (January 22, 2007, 01:26 PM)
The whole HVSC!Ah, that brings back some fond memories! You might also want to check out http://remix.kwed.org - plasm303 has made some pretty cute Zak McKracken remixes-Crush (January 22, 2007, 03:01 PM)
i understand that when typing the information into roboform when setting it up could obviously be monitored by a keylogger, but i'm hoping that when it pastes the information into a page for you that a keylogger won't catch that. i don't know how these kinds of things work. wishful thinking on my part i guess.Probably does a SetWindowText/sends a WM_SETTEXT message - I dunno how it would do it otherwise. Would be pretty trivial to do a hook that intercepts those... a bit less trivial to filter only the interesting messages out and avoid getting flooded (there's a LOT of WM_SETTEXT going on-nudone (January 22, 2007, 04:59 AM)
), but still pretty doable. 
) some single-threaded things do seem slightly smoother/faster with affinity locking on my AMD64x2.i've just woken up this morning and the first thought that popped into my head was how will my router firewall know which programs are good or bad if all it does it use port numbers in the rules. well, obviously, like you've said - it won't.Unless you spend a decent amount of cash and get something that filters by content rather than just ports... but that costs, and isn't really necessary for a home network IMHO.-nudone
it was reassuring to see the popups from zone alarm for out going requests but i guess most of (if not all of it) was from harmless apps just wanting to call home.And that's basically all you were going to see - at least last time I looked, the PFW leak tests weren't very uplifting. Okay, while PFW wouldn't stop intentional data smuggling they still make it harder to use your box to directly infect other boxes on the net (since that requires specific ports), but IMHO it's more important focusing on not getting malware on your computer than trying to stop it from spreading-nudone
. But ActiveDesktop is one solution - another would be setting desktop background to some very specific color (ugly pink is usually used), then render to a video overlay with the desktop background color as colorkey.
