I never understood the paranoia with Clippy - it takes about 2 mouse clicks to permanently turn it off !Could you make a for-dummies guide with screenshot captor on how to do it?-Carol Haynes (July 24, 2006, 06:32 AM)
Viruses are well tested before their release - all the time! Do we see viruses crippled due to internal bugs?It's happened more than once. The old DOS virus "whale" was pretty bugged (because it was complex), and it's not the only one. Some worms have been much less effective than they could be, because of coding bugs.
IMO, 'heuristic detection' shall always remain a joke if virus makers test their work against a/v products, and of course they do - you don't often see your a/v product pops up a message box that says "unknown virus/malware - cleaned", do you?No, but I've 'often' seen a popup saying "this file is suspicious, access blocked". And good old TBAV for DOS was sometimes able to disinfect unknown viruses.
Hmm - I said ADSL/Wifi router - I assumed it would be understood by the ADSL bit that I meant a modemDunno, but the FWG114p is presented as an "adsl router". Perhaps because it can do PPPoE...- in what sense has any router without a modem got anything to do with ADSL ?

You didnt' say it had to include a modemAny UK based users got any recommendations for an integrated ADSL/WiFi (11g) router ?.dk based, but it's pretty damn hot and humid here, so...-Carol Haynes (July 23, 2006, 04:18 AM)
I got my mum a Netgear FWG114p - it does ADSL routing, firewalling, access-pointing (11/54mbit) with security, print serving (unfortunately our printer isn't supported-f0dder (July 23, 2006, 04:33 AM)
Unfortunately that doesn't actually have an ADSL modem built in.
The http://netgear.co.uk...d_router_dg834gt.php looks possible - shame it doesn't include the print server too.-Carol Haynes (July 23, 2006, 05:15 AM)
(I'm used to split solutions) - it does routing and PPPoE though. Can't remember if it does PPPoA as well.Any UK based users got any recommendations for an integrated ADSL/WiFi (11g) router ?.dk based, but it's pretty damn hot and humid here, so...-Carol Haynes (July 23, 2006, 04:18 AM)

(*2) - full loaded memory slots, which is not a good idea because of bugged memory controllers on a lot of AMD64 chips. Stable for me though, thankfully. CAS2 memory, but AMD64 doesn't like CAS2, so I run 2.5 or 3, can't remember
(*3) - not because I intend on running SLI, but because the chipset is passively cooled
The only thing I consider wrong about it is that if you are verified as legit once, it shouldnt be needed or enabled anymore. If, however, you arent verified as legit, then it should be left there and notify the user that they arent running a legit copy. Microsoft, however, should have also put more time into deciding who is and isnt legit. Other than that, I think its fine.That verification is done at install time, so it shouldn't be necessary having shit like WGA running in the background all the time. (Ok, I don't think it's done at install time for corporate versions with Volume License Keys, but really - they *could* have done that).-Josh (July 22, 2006, 08:42 AM)
