nordin dk 0 Posted April 29, 2002 I've heard from a lot of people that Norton is really annoying, have you had that experience Wobble? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wobble 1 Posted April 29, 2002 its annoying if you dont set it up to your tastes.. mine is set to just scan e-mails and do a weekly full system scan.. but by default its really in the way alot.. scanning everything you do.. I Like it, its easier to update the virus defs than MCaffe IMO.. on a side note It appears I got the virus from an e-mail from "ja net" I mailbombed them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mister Frag 0 Posted April 29, 2002 The only way to have a reasonable level of protection from viruses is to scan everything, but as you guys noted, there is a cost associated with that. You basically have to decide for yourself how much protection you need, and the defaults err on the side of paranoia. If you know what you are doing, you can get away with less of a performance hit. Regarding mail-bombing the sender (or perceived sender) of the virus, I wouldn't bother -- the SMTP mail header makes it trivial to forge the mail source, and other times the sender doesn't even know that they had a virus, and unknowingly and unintentionally passed it on. For all I know, Wobble's system did the same before he discovered the virus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wobble 1 Posted April 30, 2002 well I spamed Janet because they are COCKS.. they are one of the nets most annoying spammers, and hard to block because they change their name as such Janet J anet Ja net Jan et Jane t Ja n et .etc etcetc and you have to block them all I have them blocked like 17 times and they still get through wankers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cpl_BOB 0 Posted April 30, 2002 norton creates its own problems, to fool you into thinking the program works!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cpl_BOB 0 Posted April 30, 2002 ps. i also get MASSIVE spam,, from hardcore porno sites,, MAN i swear i didnt opt into their mailing lists. when i try to opt out of then i get a mailor daemon error saying the address doesnt exist, SUCKS ASS. now im bombed with 20 odd porn emails a day, and i cant block them because they come from millions of different addresses.. funny thing is, when i get the emails it says , "here is a result of the survey you took part in" so my perants think i signed for it.. they even say they are from my friends email addresses which means they are using a form of spyware on me.

Major Fubar 0 Posted April 30, 2002 Email spam sucks bigtime....I got sick of seeing this shit in my inbox: "Hi I'm Candi, come and see me and the other naked cheerleaders at our new site" "Worlds largest online casino" "Buy Viagra online" "Declined for every major credit card? No problem..." "Enlarge your penis" It got so bad I had to change my email address, so far I've been lucky. The annoying thing is that they are mostly sent from temporary addresses that you can't even respond to. You add them to your blocked list, and within a couple of days you get another mail from the same company from a slightly different address. It should be made illegal.

Wobble 1 Posted April 30, 2002 the best ones are "to be removed from our mailing list just send a blank e-mail to: (address) of course all this does is let them and everyone else know that your address is valid and that you read yer e-mail.. so guess what..

R. Gerschwarzenge 0 Posted April 30, 2002 If you are not sure that Nimda is completely removed from your computer go to www.f-secure.com -> download -> free tools then scroll down for 'FsNimda'. It's a handy tool to get rid of Nimda. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Espectro (DayZ) 0 Posted April 30, 2002 They have bots scanning forums like this fore-mails. SO the best way is, to set ya e-mail to like this: name@NOSPAM.home13.net fx or simply hide ya mail Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
