(RCSD) Ralphael new post

Greetings group. I have just set up a new account using my Verizon
addy.
I no longer have AOL in my system. I also cleaned the system of things
slowing my computer. Desk top has only ten icons. Task bar five and
start up 15 items. No Norton, Firewall or other speed bumps.
I only do minimal email, it is too much of a drag.
Desktop comes up in seconds from a cold start, not the 2 plus minutes
previously.
We will see how this works.

Ralph,

I'm not sure that not having a firewall and an antivirus program is a good
idea.

Personally, I prefer to have them on and running, because the time for
getting lost of threats is usually much bigger than all the boot-up
sequences put together.

Initial install of Firewall created problems. Help line advised to
kill it.

Have your free antivirus up and running in minutes,
it auto updates for you every day
http://free.grisoft.com/doc/download...yware/us/frt/0

Only minor irritation it will pause all your programs
whilst it updates
takes about a minute or so.

You may need to disable the daily scanning routine
if you have probs email me offline.

Your router may have a hardware firewall anyway. Cuts out a bunch of
the chatter before it gets to the inner, software firewall.

Since I monitor what I do (most of the time) I keep real-time
protection off and it saves me TONNAGE of speed.

YMMV... to each his/her own.

Very, very good, but doesn't quite get them all.

I suggest you also do SpyBot as it finds things AdAware doesn't and visa
versa. Between them them seem to catch everything and do not have
problems existing on the same PC - in my experience anyway. And both
are free spyware apps.
