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.

585956769[/snapback]

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.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....
