Sujet: Re:

(V): Why would it interfere when playing a game ? you should not run it then really.

Mine runs happily when i am in bed or out shopping. I would never run any security software while i have any other applications running.

Looking at the picture Czuch it looks like what you get many programs do, tell you that you have security issues etc... when in fact there is no problem. Basically trying to get you to purchase software.

I normally run Spybot once a week, have a Firewall / Anti-virus that comes with my broadband package, and as i said use CCleaner (for getting rid of crap and sorting registry issues). Also i run Eusing Free Registry Cleaner 2.0 every couple of weeks just in case. Shields Up is worth running as well.

I have not had any PC problems in a few years now.

MadMonkey: I don't run it. I deleted it from my system

My ISP provider packages McAfee for free with the broadband. I also have cookie monster, Eusing registry cleaner.. and if the well.. hits the fan.. I use Combofix as it does a notepad listing at the end of what it has found and done.

For me that's all I need... until I find out differently!!

(V): Its strange how different PC's and people can get away with certain things. The first decent PC i brought years ago had McAfee with it, and i had no end of problems with that.

These days most of home PCs i get asked to sort out have Norton that is causing the problems. Well, when i say problems, it seems to come with most PC's in the UK as a free 3 months trial these days. Most of them i end up taking it off and putting AVG on them. I used to use AVG as well, but every now and again it has an issue with the package i get with my connection.

Still, what to do about Czuchs problem

MadMonkey: Well McAfee seems to be working fine, it might be that they've just ironed out the bugs since you used it.

As I keep saying.. Combofix. It gives the registry a really deep scan and I've found it to have fixed various bugs thanks to ad's or the like. My PC's install disk had an old no longer in use (they've gone broke) free trial for security software. I removed from the installed progs list all entries related to it, but the ad to buy it kept coming up. Combofix listed all the registry entries and I could see where the damn prog was hiding that was causing the ad's.

Two minutes with Reg edit and they was gone.

MadMonkey: Spybot has the option to "run in the background" or "live protection" or something like that - something I NEVER use, but might be what (V) is talking about it running at strange times.

I bring it up occasionally, look for updates, and let it run. That and Ad-aware (again, don't let it run in the background - just run the scan mode when I need it - no "live" protection.)

While working on PC's, I will also load & run Tuneup Utilities.

http://download.cnet.com/TuneUp-Utilities-2009/3000-2094_4-10206416.html?cdlPid=10980955

It is a free 30 day trial, but I usually just run it a few times (fix & run again) then delete it from the system. Czuch - maybe try to run that and see if it finds anything.

EDITED TO ADD: For the TuneUP Utilities, I run the "1-Click Maintenance"
