Reply to Symantec sticks Microsoft with law suit... in Microsoft WinCustomize Forums

The 'Win' in 'Wincustomize' stands for 'Windows' Right on. Reality-check. Works for me. McAfee the better a/v program of the two for me, with AdAware/AdWatch running too. I figure I'm probably 60%-70% covered against pests. Would wish for a/v to be included in OS, but that's just wishing...maybe a ni

Usually I boot up, get all the morning's info from the various widgets in Startup, minimize widgets to the systray or close 'em, and run the DT clean Link Currently have about 50 or more widgets/gadgets in a "downloads" folder that I can draw from as desired.

Reply to Downloads no longer download in Stardock Support General WinCustomize Forums

I occasionally have the same issue, don't know why...no predictable sequence...however, I right-click on the download link, choose "save target as", then put it in the "My Downloads" folder I made on my desktop. Sometimes it's an anti-spam issue, so I disable anti-spam 'til I've got the download. Hope this helps...

Reply to Not quite dead.. in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Great job in the midst of it all! At least we can access the site and get where we want. Took four minutes to load WC from my desktop. Timed out a lot. Page-hopping 30 secs or more. You admins juggle pretty well. Thanks!
