The program stays open on the system tray bar and you can have it startup automatically. There are options in there to turn on memory shield(scans for any spyware that pops up in memory) and cookie shield to remove tracking cookies. And whenever they get updates a message will pop up on the screen asking if you want to download the new updates which the whole process takes like a minute.
Def. a good product and I hope that helps answer your question..
Spybot and AdAware are good but i broke down *gasp* and paid for spysweep. I like it because you can have it run all the time so if spy aware does pop in your system, it'll tell you. They also have regular updates and automatically remove those annoying tracking cookies for you. For a 30 spot (25 in cotsco), i dont think you can go wrong..
I'm with you brother. I don't take medicines unless I absolutely have to. All those side effects and what not I don't need. If i do have a fever or have a serious headache from allergies, then I'll take one tylenol. I had to take antibiotics though twice in a year for strep throat. Before that though I can't even remember the last time I was on them.
One thing to that's underestimated is washing ones hand on a regular basis. I wash my hands before very meal and after everytime I use the bathroom. Sounds like common sense but you be amazed at the people who don't do it and all the stuff you touch in public places along the way.....
"How long has it been, at least 400-600 years since a nice big population dwindling event has occurred"
actually try back to the 30's and 40's with wwII. granted it wasnt a diseased epidemic but wiped out alot of people off the face of this planet never-the less.
i know also i think in the 20's there was a big flu epidemic but now sure how many that killed....
spy ware/virus arent nearly as much as a threat on windows but one area that does concern me are tracking cookies/cache. on the windows side, sometimes when i surf a trojan would appear on my machine located in the cache folder. i wonder if they have the power to install some kind of tracker like that in linux?
kazaa is spyware. as i bonehead mistake i've install kazaa and infected my pc with spyware up the wazoo. one problem is your right no one including myself reads the eula. the other problem, if you uninstall kazaa, everything should be uninstalled with it, no left over junk case closed but that does not appear to happen
on a diff note, even though its a commercial program, i recommend spy sweep. its a good product for only 30 bucks. you can have it run in the background so it can pick up spyware for you in real time and it deletes by itself all the tracking cookies thay may appear. there are regular updates for it and i notice it does a little better job than the freeware ones..
you? there's nothing i can do to get my karma off bad nor have my posts start with anything but mod 0. Sh**t slashdot false advertised me, they say if i signed up and not post as anonymous coward, my posts would start with mod 1. well dammit i want my mod back points for all the times i posted and you didnt give me a mod 1!!!!!!
Now we established the worm sniffs out sensitive data, but does it leave a trace of the ip this said data goes to?. I mean it has to get to the worm owner somehow to be useful. If it does leave a trace, I say we find the fuxxor and cause a scene worse than being in a turkish prison!
Let me first say that I'm independent and have no problems voting for a 3rd party candidate, if for nothing else to show that a change needs to be made in the political system.
Looking on your site, I see you recommend to cut on federal spending and regulation to help secure a sound economy. By doing so, won't there be a risk of mal-business practices, such as those seen in the early 1900's when work conditions and wages were poor? And while i do agree federal spending needs to be cut, isn't some of it good?
Finally, as quoted from your site "One study estimated that the death toll from regulations that do more harm than good cost 60,000 American lives each year!"
What proof do you have to justify claims like these and where can i look up those studies? Doesn't it sound a little far fetched that many people die from the very regulations use to protect and that so many new jobs woul be created from cutting out regulation.
i like looking at forbes for stock tips. i dont expect much from them either on the technical front. you either get it or you dont and they obviously dont get it...
your right man. when i leave this place i try not to think about work until the next day. every once in awhile i may have to do minor work at home or come in for a couple of hours on sat but its the nature of the job. once i'm home and its not dire..its out of my mind....
i'm with you man. theres only 2 sys admin guys here and we are overworked. the other guy is senior to me so he takes on more of the "cool" projects and the everyday grut stuff gets passed off on me. im unproductive because all it seems like im doing lately is copy these files over to here or backing up these files and installing new linux os' on these machines and setting up this new employee and walk him through all the baby steps and what not. it gets repetitive, unispiring and boring.
yea i am grateful to have a job but at the first opportune moment from me. i'm gone. my skills are going to waste here and it scares me...
without the help of slashdot and a couple of cool employees, i may of lost my mind all together.
i dont crack under pressure, it actually motivates me. what makes me crack is when im under pressure and i get 5 calls from users who need miniscule things fixed but they act like its the end of the world if its not taking care of right away. or im trying to get something important done and i hear a page with my name(yes we get paged and its abused but no one cares) "can you tell me hot to log into this machine which if i noted down the email memo from 3 months ago i would know" its really really trying....
I guess i should stop getting mail too because all those junk credit card letters i keep getting are annoying. That will shut them up. And then there's tv. So much advertising going on there. Oh well never anything good on anymore anyways. Wait though, they may call my phone now, thats it no more phone for me!!! Actually they may try to knock on my home door or come to my office and get me that way.. you know what F it im just gonna live in the back woods in Montana and shoot the first person who tries to sell anything to me!
Get a security camera in the office. Its the only safe way. That or ban those devices in the office. Quite frankly I don't see why its hard to say NO, NO IPOD FOR YOU IN OFFICE TODAY! You don't have to worry about checking everyone cause that one office snitch will keep the workplace safe!
Yes it's a valid point but its one that goes in one ear and out the other since there are so many other ways to get the info out. If its a confidential word document, just print it out and its yours! If its a few meg file you can email it to yourself.
Slashdot Mirror
your telling me..and to think my submission on lost packages and rejected!!!

that's why you should never drop the soap in prison....
maybe we can just kill em, and use the loop holes in the laws to end up with 2 weeks probation for the crime...
exactly. why should we worry about usb when longhorn, a.k.a window xp service pak 3 wont be out until 2020 at the rate things are getting pushed back.

ooh no, my open source stuff is unsafe! better switch to i.e. and outlook now before its too late!
If i know microsoft, i think they would say(and sing along with me) "I like to give the world a coke..."

I followed your "revolutionary idea". I decapitated myself too. Its the best I felt in years!!!!!
They wont let you look at other peoples data on THEIR machines, but they'll allow other people in YOUR personal machine to look at your data! ;)
