but i dont see any antivirus in my build 2082

They, along with almost every other site, or so it seems, appear to be confusing, making an assumption of this, with regard to the security centre and the Anti Virus tab.

All this tab is doing (as far as I see it) is checking to see if you have AV software installed (at least at the moment) They may add their own AV software eventually, but as far as the current build is concerned it is only a check to see, as mentioned, if you have AV software installed.

@HoochieMamma: just open control panel with Category View on, its there with a great big new fangled icon :)

I don't know how many people this affects, but I'll post anyhow:

After installing this new build, everything seems more responsive. My wireless connection is especially faster for whatever reasons. The trouble came when I tried to install VirtualPC 2004. The software installs fine, with one hang at the end saying that after a reboot I need to run the install.bat file from the Utility folder within VirtualPC. I do that, the command box pops up and says that everything installed successfully. I am never able to launch VirtualPC, however. In Device Manager the Virtual devices of my PCI wireless NIC and other NIC's are created, but marked with the yellow exclamation, meaning they're installed but the driver won't start. Also, I lost wireless internet connectivity completely. Uninstalling Virtual PC 2004 solves the problem completely.

Anyone have a guess as to why this would happen? I should file a report, but I uninstalled the MS report program.

How cool is that? Will this work with other AV also?

Doesnt appear to work with PandaAV (a program I have had nothing but trouble with, see screenshot above)

Just tried with McAfee and have to say all is fine, except I dont like all the damn cookies etc its always trying to save ... (I have IE6 set to notify when anything attempts to save a cookie, and Im surprised its still active and notifying even though my default browser is Fx)

My Security Center isn't picking up the Windows Firewall. It will be "On" when I start the service, but after around a minute or so i'll get the balloon popup saying firewall wasn't available. So I open it up, go to the recommendations button, hit the "enable now" button and I get that popup message about "We're sorry..." (see attached Image). What's up with this?

Edit: Oh, and the firewall actually is on, even though it doesn't show that in the Security Center. ALG and Windows Firewall are started and set automatic.

Im assuming you mean the Security Centre?

If so just click on Control Panel in the Start Menu, and if the Category View is selected you will be able to see it, if not, and it shows Classic View then just click it from the list.

Hope that helps.

You're so 1337, what with your "For me, EVERY piece of software is under the GNU licensing agreement." statement and all. Perhaps you should take your illegal copy of Windows XP and knock on Bill Gates door and ask to play with his latest toy, SP2.

    • Amazon Deal: These AMD RX 9070 XT GPUs are very good offers

      By hellowalkman · Posted

      Amazon Deal: These AMD RX 9070 XT GPUs are very good offers by Sayan Sen Following the release of AMD's new RX 9070 GRE last week for $549 (our review), AMD currently has a couple of great deals on the more powerful 9070 XT wherein the GPU is on sale for $650. We already covered the Gigabyte Gaming model a couple of days ago which is still live at that price. Aside from that, the white ICE variant is also at the same price (purchase link under the specs table down below). This is interesting to note considering white cards are generally more expensive as they come with a premium attached. Similar to the Gaming model, the ICE card too employs Gigabyte's WINDFORCE cooling system which combines multiple design elements such as alternate-spinning Hawk fans, a vapor chamber, and composite heat pipes to manage heat dissipation. The Server-grade Thermal conductive gel further helps in this department. The inclusion of a semi-passive cooling mode allows the fans to remain inactive under low workloads, which allows for reduced noise operation during lighter usage. There is dual BIOS switch that allows toggling between performance and silent modes. The tech specs of the card are given in the table below: Specification Value Boost Clock Up to 3060 MHz (Reference Card: 2970 MHz) Game Clock Up to 2520 MHz (Reference Card: 2400 MHz) Stream Processors 4096 Memory Size 16 GB Memory Type GDDR6 Memory Clock 20 Gbps Memory Bus Width 256-bit PCI Express Interface PCI Express 5.0 Max Resolution 7680 × 4320 Maximum Displays Supported 4 Display Outputs 2 × DisplayPort 2.1a 2 × HDMI 2.1b Card Dimensions 288 × 132 × 56 mm (L × W × H) (2.7 slot) Recommended Power Supply 750 W Power Connectors 3 × 8-pin PCIe Get it at the link below: GIGABYTE Radeon™ RX 9070 XT Gaming OC ICE 16G Graphics Card (GV-R907XGAMINGOCICE-16GD): $649.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US) (Was: $750) If your budget is lower, check this Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti 8GB deal out for only $330 wherein you get the latest James Bond game free. This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified. This is a first-party seller link (at the time of article publishing); ensure that you also purchase from a first-party seller link only. If you don't like it or want to look at more options, check out the previous deals that we have covered, OR you can also visit Amazon US deals page.

      Wow, this is some Iran, Cuba, China, Russia, North Korea-level citizen surveillance right there, the UK's government has gone totally mad. Power trip indeed, their politicians are totally out of control about this issue. They're starting to cross limits I wouldn't have imagined, to be honest. British people, fight this, your privacy and freedoms are in danger. Vote this government out of power.
