There can only be 10 poll choices, and 2 more stickies would be way too many. These are here to try and stop new threads from cropping up every other day (Y)

F-Prot...  NOTHING (Even the AVGFree lol) can stand up to F-prot's superior functionality...  and it's licnesing (which comes to $10 USD per license to start) can't be touched by anybody, Even AVG (not free).

Exactly... AVG's not a good choice at all... been there, tried that... it's real time scan/autoprotect is sh!t too... Im tellin you... spend $50, get the 5 licenses of F-prot, and give them to yoru family... ;) :lol: in the end, they'll love you.

Changing course alittle, ClamWin is FAR better than AVG... and if you're really ThAT cheap then you need to at least be using ClamWin.

Honesty is the only policy... it's not the nice one, and it's not always the best, but it's the only one I believe in. Some things can't be sugered up... and even when they can I refuse to.

In hindsite (for him), nieveness is going to be a b!tch lol... ;)

BTW, Im not attacking you... but by being close minded you're really going to hurt yourself in the end. And as far as even speed goes, F-Prot doesn't slow anything down... at all... not liek SAV/NAV, AVG, or McGAyfee...

sav doesn't slow anything down, nav does.

Actually, I moved from NAV to SAV 3 years ago. I was very pleased with how much faster things got moving to SAV. However, 3 months ago I moved to F-Prot, and things got even faster.

Not sure what to tell you, but I've seen the light ;) lol... not to mention (since I wasn't using free/stolen/warez versions of SAV) the savings I get going down to udner $10/license.

I've always used Norton because.. Well, because I just always have. But am getting peeved at paying ??? for consumer level protection each year. A lot of people are suggesting NOD32 to me, so if it's free - I'll give it a try next time I reformat a spare PC.

    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Jaybonaut · Posted

      Looks like the 7.1 is fake effects, can it at least do real 5.1? It says 'virtual 7.1' in all descriptions.

      You can't, if you didn't notice, it doesn't support surround at all, it's right in the spec list.
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By cleverclogs · Posted

      Hi — I’m always interested in soundcards. Like displays, I just want to know I’m getting as much clean “sonic juice” into my brain as possible as the years take their toll. I’m not entirely sure what to take away from this review, though. It doesn’t really tell me whether the AE‑X is a good product or who it’s actually for. Most of what I’m getting is: there’s a driver to install, here’s what it looks like, and here’s what’s in the box. There’s a lot of emphasis on the SPDIF input. When you mention not needing to switch headphones between console and PC — does that mean the PC has to be powered on just to pass audio through? That seems like a fairly big waste of energy. Is this more something a streamer would use alongside a capture card? How are you testing the sound? (Also, you might want to clarify that you’re using the headphones in wired mode when you mention they’re wireless.) You mention the lack of EMI shielding — how much real‑world difference does that make compared with typical motherboard audio? On multi‑channel: what exactly isn’t supported? Does this mean Windows spatial audio (Dolby Atmos for Headphones, DTS Headphone:X, etc.) won’t work, or just that the card itself doesn’t decode surround formats? And are there any true multi‑driver “surround” headphones left that would even use that? You also highlight support for high‑impedance headphones — but what does that translate to in practice? How does it compare to driving the same headphones from a normal device, and does it make any difference for everyday, lower‑impedance models? In short, who is this card actually targeted at?

      Yes, THIS is wordart, not the styling that can now be done. Wordart was all about those curvy words, that you could change the path of, like making words go around a circle. I don't think it can be done now, right?
