[quote]Might be time to switch to Comodo's free software (I'm just waiting until the Anti-Virus leaves beta to switch from AVG Free). http://www.comodo.com/products/free_products.html[/quote] Comodo (free) has an excellent firewall. I believe still only no.2 under Online Armor's (paid) according to in-depth testing by Matousec. Avast (IMHO, and many reviews) is a superior AV program to Comodo's in the free software category. I have used NOD32 (paid) for 5 years and found it to be a s

XP SP3 RC2 in Windows XP WinCustomize Forums

For anyone interested. Two days ago I installed XP SP3 RC2. This if the final RC before public release. I have found it to be very stable and have noticed no performance degradation. Actually I have found no major changes yet. I did have to restart twice to get the installation to finish properly. Please, for anyone wanting to upgrade to SP3 RC2, or the final release for that matter be advised that any previous SP3 release installation must be

Reply to Which Anti-virus/Firewall do you use? in Windows XP WinCustomize Forums

I've been working on my system security for years before I found what works well for me. I use a router with firewall, then use Online Armor + AV and firewall, it's the best firewall around (IMHO). NOD32 Anti-virus. The AV included with OA does not conflict with NOD32. I also use CounterSpy and SuperAntiSpyware. These are all paid programs. Comodo free firewall and Avast free AV are also exceptional programs. Layered protection is the only way to go, again (IMHO). I have found suites to b

Cursor jump in Customization Software WinCustomize Forums

I did a post earlier in the month but had no responses. I don't have the major problems anymore with FX cursors floating all over by themselves, however I do have problems with many cursors being very jumpy, sometimes making it very hard to click on some smaller items. If I change over to Windows cursor the problem stops. Does anyone have an idea about what might cause this behavior?
