Is jou pc oor die algemeen stadiger of net as jy die web browse?

[hentey]

Alles is nou baie baie baie stadig.Ek sal maar die ding moet invat.

[CasKru]

Jy het nog nie my vraag geantwoord nie.

As jou PC al hoe stadiger word in geheel kan dit wees dat jou hardeskyf spasie so te se op is.

Ek koop gereeld goed op i-net, so daar's altyd 'n pakkie op pad. Kry ek onlangs 'n email van een of ander koerier mpy af wat se my pakkie is by die poskantoor,en die waybil is in die attachment, moet oopmaak en print.

GROOT fout!!! Die attachment het 'n trojan tipe virus in wat jou Internet Explorer corrupt, en stadig maar seker ook ander files. Laptop was gister heeldag by IT ou, maar ek kan nog steeds nie Explorer gebruik nie, hy hou aan oop- en toemaak, onophoudelik.

IT ou was nou weer hier, reken beste is om maar te backup en te format...

En ek het eergister T4A op inet gekoop, gedownload en ge-save, maar kan dit nie run nie, as gevolg van die virus!!!

Hentey, soos Cassie sê, as hy geleidelik stadig word is jou hardeskyf te vol.
Jy kan of start/programs/accessories/system tools/disk cleanup

As jy disk cleanup kies gaan hy so lang ruk vat om jou hardeskyf te evaluaeer en te kyk wat jy kan uitvee. Hy gaan vir jou 'n lys van files gee.
Jy kan alle temp, old installation files en compacted old files uitvee.

Nog 'n manier is om Crap Cleaner te download en instaleer, sien http://www.ccleaner.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
Hy doen dieselfde, net meer effektief.

Gebruik al bostaande op eie risiko

Hennie, mense gebruik allerhande anti virus sagteware en ek sien baie mense betaal selfs daarvoor.
Doen jouself 'n guns, installeer AVG en opdateer hom elke dag.
Hy is gratis en baie goed, sien http://free.avg.com/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Moenie geld mors op goed soos Norton of sulke crap nie, as jy 'n privaat individu is mag jy AVG gratis gebruik.

Probeer dit installeer nou, ek het nou die dag 'n vriend se rekenaar van 'n virus gered nadat ek AVG installeer het.

Ek dink ek was een van AVG se eerste gebruikers want ek gebruik dit al BAIE jar lank en het nog net een keer (ek dink in tien jaar) 'n probleem gehad en ek sit elke dag op die Internet

[CasKru]

Ek is weer mal oor avast. Ook verniet en het my nog nooit in die steek gelaat nie

I'm also a convert from AVG to Avast. I was using AVG for donkey's years too, but Avast is a far superior product, IMHO. I have even bought and registered the full version of Avast, it really is that good!

People are speaking very highly of MSE (Microsoft Security Essentials), which is an all-in-one product, and has an excellent rating. If I had not bought and paid for Avast, I might well have simply used MSE, free to dinkum Windows users. It catches practically anything you find on the Internet.

Hentey, dump IE8 and switch to Firefox 3.6 or even Opera. These two browsers are a lot safer for browsing than IE, and are far faster as well.

Sit hom by die plug af, skop die boks twee keer en restart hom, as dit nie werk nie bel ek die engelsman.

Jip, also an Avast fan. Our whole company now uses Avast.

Free for home use, download and install (after uninstalling old AntiVirus) run boot time scan and delete all those infected files

Hope that helps

[hentey]

Jislaaik kerels dit lyk my dit is die blerrie bitdefender wat die pc so stadig gemaak het.Het dit nou ge-uninstall en nou hardloop die dinge weer vinnig.Sien die ding werk so...het die besigheid se rekenaar by die pc tiffies gehad en hulle het toe die anti vigs opgelaai en ek sien toe dat dit vir 3 rekenaars geldig is.Ek het dit toe vir my laptop ook ge-install omdat dit flippin 300 bokke kos.Lyk vir my daai was n groot fout.Nou wil ek weet........Is dit nodig dat ek n anti virus program install as ek die windows firewall en die security centre se goeters almal geaktiveer het.?Die bitdefender het gevra dat windows firewall afgeskakel word want die 2 wil glo nie saamwerk nie.

Jy moet beslis anti-virus gebruik.Anders kry jy strikkie griep.
Ek gebruik ook avast en dis tops

[Mud Dog]

I'm like Pieter .... have used AVG for thousands of years without a problem.(other than it takes about an hour every day to run scans on my system nowadays - used to be 10 / 15 mins in the old days, ... and almost every year they come up with a new version that one has to d/load and install ... better that than battle with a virus and lose data / settings with a re-format.) It scans for spy-ware and root-kits as well.

[warthog]

Ek't nou 3 op. Norton, Macafee en AVG.

Moet se, Swambo het AVG op haar laptop, en die kinners loop gedurig orals rond, en haar laptoppie het nog niks opgetel nie.

Myne is nou beter, maar ek kan nog steeds nie daai 2 T4A files wat ek gekoop het, run nie, dis corrupt...

[Family_Dog]

Hennie, you should never use more than one AV program on a computer. They tend to fight one another and come up with false positives. I would suggest dump Norton (it's uninstall can be very tricky, but I think there is an uninstall facility hidden somewhere on their website) and also McAfee, and just go along with Avast. You might even find this will solve your problem.

Eric, I have Norton on my network at the office. Haven't had any prob (but my staff are on serious warning re i-net)

What will it mean if I dump it from my laptop? (Laptop gets plugged into office network every morn an comes home every eve)

[Family_Dog]

You could use any AV of your choice on any one computer,even if each networked computer uses a different AV program, but never more than one AV program on the same computer.

Norton has a bad habit of drastically slowing a computer down. It is an extremely resources-hungry AV and is not all that popular for that very reason. Nothing wrong with its AV properties though.

Avast! has always performed very well and is updated regularly, sometimes two or more times a day. It does not chew resources like Norton. If your laptop uses Norton, I would definitely suggest dumping Norton and installing either Avast! (my choice), or AVG (my second choice). But as I mentioned earlier, Norton is a problematic uninstall.

OK gentlemen,I am busy downloading AVAST as we speak.Thanks for all your input.Nice to have a circle of friends like you. Now I can buy me some more STUFF for my Hilux with pc money.

[warthog]

Tks Eric. Will try and do so on Tues, when I'm at office with better speed and more stability. I'll try Avast on mine & compare with AVG on Swamb's.

Hentey to answer your question you asked previously, YES you MUST have an anti virus but NO you DO NOT have to load a paid version on your personal computer. If a computer tiffy sells you an anti virus program for your personal computer it is only to make money from you not to help you.

Dankie Pieter,ek kom so agter.......was maar altyd n stadige leerder,maar danksy julle slimmer manne leer ek nou heelwat vinniger. Ek wonder of die mense wat die anti virus programme skryf nie ook die mense is wat die virusse skryf nie?
