petroid Posted August 1, 2005 Share Posted August 1, 2005 A managed install of SAV10 caused problems on one of my computers; one of the helper services would cause a BSOD on startup. Easily fixed though in safe mode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qkslvr221 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 can any one try ZoneAlarm please? I didn't get my copy yet, otherwise I would try it....... 586317331[/snapback] No firewalls have worked at all, and i've tried just about every one! Majority will not even install, or cause BSOD at startup. Sygate was only one to install/boot, but it slowed bootup to a crawl even though it didn't run :angry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adowling15 Posted August 13, 2005 Share Posted August 13, 2005 I used Avast 4.6. Thought everything was going fine until I started getting file structure problems on the HD. This may not be related but seems a pretty strange coincidence!! My first install only lasted an hour :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunbiz_3000 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 As far as we know, there are no viruses for Vista. :rolleyes: 586374325[/snapback] Just read the news dude !! The first virus specially coded for Vista is already out and even 2 variants of those are out !! :p And by the way, all of the viruses that affected Win2003 can still affect Vista. U could just ignore those viruses that used the earlier Windows exploits, but other worms still affect Vista!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dagamer34 Posted August 14, 2005 Share Posted August 14, 2005 The virus you are talking about affects Monad, the new scripting shell which was supposed to be with the final version of Vista. Guess what? It won't be. Meaning it's not a Vista virus then, just a virus attacking Microsoft's new scripting shell. Too bad. :shifty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
