Here's a pretty good free security scan:

Check Your Security

Hmm... according to that site I have a Trojan that all my anti-virus and other checks have missed. Anyone know a good (free) Trojan remover?

Yeah, Ad-aware is the best when it comes to remove pr0n-cookies biggrin_o.gif

Done that alot to customers' pc's when they got certain pop-up issues on their computers and "extra-features" in internet explorer tounge_o.gif

How much memory and cpu-resource does ZA take up?

Never used it and never will (use a 3Com gateway). I trust hardware more than software.

Obviously, if you have the hardware, you don't need the software.

The latest article on the subject at PC MAG: Spy Stoppers.

Thanks.

Interesting reading.

Will give them a go the next time. Allthough, I've never experienced a case where Ad-aware have let me down.

hmm - on my older PC (P4 1300 mhz + win ME) i've been using ZA and had about 75% of free resources. When changing to

McAfee firewall i noticed 92% of free resources wink_o.gif

On my newer PC (3000 mhz + XP) i went straight to install

McAfee, so no comparisation stats from there.

btw - on the older PC i'm actually using the Sygate firewall free version (where Toadlifes security scan comes from), but

i haven't checked the performance yet, as i'm only using the

machine for stuff like teamspeak server or OFP ded server to

test mp missions in such an environment). Will check the performance with Sygate soon and report back here.
