Kevin always tells people to install the "flavor of the day" When he throws

a tantrum or is tired of Microsoft he tells people to Boycott Microsoft and

use Ubuntu. A week later when he is tired of looking at the screen

wondering what to do next, he wipes his machine clean and runs to Microsoft.

The cycle repeats over and over.

    Yep, Frank, she has to get around fixing her Vista and it will give a

    stellar performance.

     

    She also should run anti-spyware programs.

     

    My policy is not to use any 3-rd party anti-malware except Spybot S&D.

    Windows Vista offers sufficient protection against malicious software

    writers some of them I am sure watch this forum very carefully.

     

    Download Microsoft Windows Baseline Security Analyzer. It is Beta 2.1 for

    Vista and I think it is safe to download. Run it.

     

    <http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=F32921AF-9DBE-4DCE-889E-ECF997EB18E9&displaylang=en>

     

    It will give you all your vulnerabilities, especially in your firewall

    settings. You should read the report and if it suggests any changes, you

    should consider them.

    Your Windows firewall setting will be analyzed.

     

    Download Microsoft® Windows® Malicious Software Removal Tool (KB890830). It

    will want to run upon install. Choose the FULL scan although it may give you

    a threatening message that it might take a few hours. It will scan your

    entire computer in about half an hour or less if you do not have a lot of

    stuff in it.

     

    <http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ad724ae0-e72d-4f54-9ab3-75b8eb148356&displaylang=en>

     

    Some reassuring information: Malicious Software Removal Tool

    <http://www.microsoft.com/security/malwareremove/default.mspx>

    The Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool helps remove specific,

    prevalent malicious software from computers that are running Windows Vista,

    Windows Server 2003, Windows XP, or Windows 2000

    http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=890830

     

    You can also go to Protection Center (Microsoft)

    <http://onecare.live.com/site/en-US/center/howsafe.htm?s_cid=mscom_msrt>

    and click "Protection Scan." There will be a dropdown menu and a button:

    "Launch Full Scan or Vista." You can do it if you wish.

     

    Download and install Spybot Search & Destroy, a great piece of software

    which is free for individuals but corporations pay fees. You may be asked

    for donations but it is up to you. It is very up to date and every week you

    will have to download new updates, sometimes even more often. You should

    check for updates every time you run it. It will give you all su*kers

    leached into your registry and ask you if you wanted to remove them. Many of

    them have masqueraded themselves under MS Windows names like

    Windows.something. Do not hesitate to kill them all. You can trust SB S&D.

     

    http://www.spybot.info/en/index.html

     

    It also allows you to IMMUNIZE your system. It means that when you go to a

    website and they try to download some kind of a Trojan to you SB S&D will

    either kill it silently, or ask you if you want to do it or will kill it and

    give you a notice. It is better to let it kill them all in silence.

     

    Listen to Mark Russinovich's (MS) webcast: Advanced Malware Cleaning

     

    <http://www.microsoft.com/emea/spotlight/sessionh.aspx?videoid=359>

     

    Downloading any 3-rd party "free" anti-spyware program is an invitation for

    disaster.

     

    The AV (antivirus industry) is on the way to the cemetery:

    The slow death of AV technology:

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/2007/06/08/death_of_av/

    Vista did it in.

    Not according to the dozens of people I've told about Ubuntu and who are

    Wrong Mr. Numbnuts. I know what Ubuntu is and it is 10 year old technology

    and not ready for prime time and a wanna be OS. You love it because it

    does the few things that you like - surfing and trolling. For you it is

    heaven. For people who need to do real work, a Windows or Mac solution is

    better.

     

    Just FYI

    Nothing. The question is how Ubuntu/Linux can lead one "down to hell", a

    question that you cannot answer.

     

    BTW, my ancestry is Irish and I was born in the USA. I have blue eyes

    I do a lot more than that with Ubuntu like

     

    1. Watch DVDs

    2. Receive and send faxes

    3. Print

    4. Scan

    5. Upload photos from my camera

    6. Email

    7. Use GIMP to edit photos

    8. IM

    9. Edit web pages

    10. Surf the Net

    11. Newsgroups

    12. Calendar

    13. Calculator

    14. Word processing

    15. Spread sheets

    16. Powerpoint type presentations.

    17. Data base

    18. Record songs off Internet radio

     

    And much more.

     

    So, your FUD is just that, FUD, and I will continue to clear your FUD up

    for the good folks that read this newsgroup.

     

    Live with it.

    I guess we are at a stalemate. You do your thing and I'll do mine. I think

    that when most people read the posts and can make their own informed

    decision, they will realize what Ubuntu/Linux is and stay with Windows or

    Mac. I know Vista can be a pain, but if they can't deal with it at least

    they can use XP.
