Recently I've been doing a bit of lurking in the C&T forum and find a lot of the stuff metioned and discussed there extremely interesting. I particularly enjoy talking about modding computers to make them more functional (Example: I recently found out that there is a way to install Mac OSX on a PC). So I wanted to start a smaller version of C&T right here. Have questions, comment, or just want to discuss computers? I'd like to see what you all have to say.

And for those of us geeky enough and can't think of anything else, post your system specs. mrgreen

religion and computers become the same issue on the internet, and both lead to a wide variety of arguments. Therefore, I will stay out of this conversation. 3nodding

Well, I suppose it could be that way if you weren't open minded. . . but what fun is a conversation if you aren't?

i prefer adaware and spybot, plus panda if things get really bad. there's online virus cleaning programs, about the noly advice i can give is avoiding norton and macafee.

those programs haven't kept out anything i know of for over five years, and are similar in quality to a microsfot update talk2hand

I would recommend Spybot Search & Destroy or AdAware if you don't want to spend money for your anti-virus software. If you have money to throw at the problem though, I recommend Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security as it has not only anti-virus/anti-spyware functions, but also has tools to guard your personal information and configurations for blocking spam and malicious network activity.

either your 3D card, or you RAM-memory is low then. I don't know much about it though. Usually putting all details on low and put off nearly all other programs you might have running saves a few headaches. (:

I highly recommend AdAware. It's great and has saved my butt so many times.

I'd recommend Avast and ZoneAlarm. Both recommended by the Pros, and amazingly good when working together. Make sure to deactivate Avast's Web Guard when it asks you to!

And for my Spec, which is relatively weak, but still does the job.
