I was wondering about the ewido anti-spyware tool used as part of disabling the icodec/virusburst malware. My 30-day trial is about to run out. Is it worth purchasing a full version? I ask because I already have a hardware firewall, McAfee Enterprise 7.1, plus updated versions of Spy-Bot and Ad-Aware SE Personal. I want to give props to Ewido for helping solve part of the problem, but I'm not sure I need another anti-spyware/malware program on my O/S (XP Service Pack 2). Your thoughts, and everyone else's, are appreciated. Bloodyabo This post has been edited by bloodyabo: Oct 8 2006, 11:05 PM |

bloodyabo,
Even after the trial of Ewido (now known as AVG Anti-Spyware) runs out, you can still use the program. It won't have real time protection, and you'll have to update it manually, but it will still work. -------------------- I love being married.

Great info on IE. Just wondering if much has changed with these settings since 2004? With new versions coming out all the time plus all the IM updates- new one today. Seems more & more sites are using ActiveX. Don't know who to trust anymore- including MS? I am getting in the habit of just saying "yes" like I did with virusburst. (I'd like to know where those guys live to fertilize their lawns)
Thanks: Pup |
