Bob,

One question that I ask myself is:

Why would you trust a company that just released software so full of
faults to be exploited by hackers to create more software to solve the
virus'? It is sort of going to a bad mechanic to solve the problems that
he caused the last time you were there.

Carl

Hi,

 You Wrote: Windows currently has no anti virus software.

 Actually Windows has very good antivirus and system protection logic. 

 I run a number of machines using common sense and Windows built in
protection. The only PCs that I see as messed up are those running 3rd
party programs like Norton. 

Ask Yourself:

  1 What company has more to gain by seeing a robust OS? Microsoft

  2 What company understand the internals of Windows best? Microsoft

  3 What company has more money to send on software?  Microsoft

 So, I am open to ideas here, but would you not expect Microsoft to have
made darn sure Windows is robust? (An I find it very robust.)

Yes Windows Anti-xxx is a hoax, do not click on the link. Windows
currently has no anti virus software. Download windows defender, you can
get it at the Microsoft website install it and run it
http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/defender/default.msp
x . Also with RegCure it cleans the registry. If you have adaware
running or a virus it will not find it and remove it.As soon as you
restart the computer it will find it again and rewrite to the registry.
You have to find the program and kill it.
http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/malware-removal/ here is a good site
that will help you out for free. It will take you longer to get if fixed
if they are backed up because you have to post in a forum. I use RegCure
without any problems.

Hi all,
Anyone having experience from RegCure? It's a software that scans DLLs, 
Window items, program shortcuts, Registry keys, file associations etc.
I 
don't know what to think about it. When you depress scan, RegCure runs 
through it all and presents a list of 'problems', then asks if you want
to 
fix them. OK, I select 'fix it' and RegCure does that. However, if I
scan 
immediately once again, there are still 4 problems here and 19 there. I 
depress 'fix it' and selects new scan again. RegCure again presents a
list 
of problems to fix.  How can that be when I have done nothing? I've
tried 
other and similar programs, and they seem to work the same. Not to
mention 
anti-spy programs and anti-trojan programs and such like.  They are 
constantly warning for something. I have a expensive anti-virus program 
installed, but despite that, warnings are steadily coming up with
blinking 
red and dialog boxes recommending me to downloading Windows Anti-xxx
program

immediately to fix the alert situation. Are they a hoax? Can't help I'm
a 
little suspicios. Whom can you rely upon?

Inge
