Question by Heywood Jah: signals, signs and indicators… how to know what is going on… and who is behind these goings on..?
Generally as this relates to sceurity and remote executions and malicious control of system completely; The context is also with regard to networking. (home”network”; -vs- actual network(small office, several pc’s, net printing maybe even a server, file shares)

I will try to ask in enough detail to be of use, but avoiding listing the many many many questionable and mystifying ID, codes, process users, groups and autoruling things that have me unglued at the moment. Please advise, ask, guide or help in whatever ways you can; kindly refraining from jovial and/or pointless or hurtful jibs and jabs as I ask with genuine hopes for helpful advice.
That said, mine is a matter of unknown and certainly strange signs, actions, changes and functioning that despite having tried or had installed and up to date, one of the following top recommended security suites: (note; I have not and do not now use more than one at a time, as I have learned the issues this causes) The different programs Ive turned to as things appeared to have not gotten better are: Trend Micro, Spy Sweeper, Norton, CA, Avast, AVG, Kaspersky… surely a few others at some point. Yet, in any given situation, the symptoms like unknown and unfamiliar users, groups, rules, configurations, installations, and actions seem to resurface, even after complete system repairs, restores, or even reformating and reinstallation of OS. Ive even had a new out of the box system that eventually exhibited these same signs of external control and config; replete with redirections,a nd I suspect, diverting from proper security and registry changes that , (pardon me if this is ridiculous to think, or imposible in reality) but I’d swear that even such things as security database updating or help menus or other attempts to identify and discover the root of all this, all of it, in some ways more vauge than others, yet some are glaring, and who’s descriptions and functions just plain hold as much power to abuse and give rise to bad things as they do have potential for good and legitimate actions. For instance, what is the reasons for remote system management and remote registry editing on a home personal pc?? I can see the use for this in reality, yet equally, functions like this type that are unattended to and sit in the background… if and actually when these kinds of programs and applications become breached in any way such that they can be refit in small ways…. as they must be…. then they offer an open door, or open window… and then all the locks put on the doors, or security setup, are pointless as this open window, leftso simply cuz I am not aware its there, much less open to all…. this weakness is what I am asking about… how can I whitlist what I need or use, particularly in a one machine”network” as I am forev er being lumped into…. howe can I work with rule and restrictions for file extentions and functions that are not identified as what they do, why they are there, who the “trusted installer” or the anayomous logon… or “S-1234=-5463-987554 ?? user on my machine is..?

How that is, without hours spent on each one…. slower than they seem to multiply or reoccur?

Can anyone understand this…. or know anything of what Ive tried to describe here??
ergo my mention of pointless remarks and plain ugly replies…. did you miss my mention also of apologies for not exactly sure how to best ask and explain my post? What is very clear is the reason you have yet to be cited as providing any answer deemed best… maybe we can lobby to have another badge added… the moronic loner award. You’ve got my whole hearted nomination jackass. I’d think you’d be a shoein!

Now… if notjing applicable can be offered from that peebrain of yours, do the site a solid and go back to whatever dark corner you come from and pis off.

thank you kindly dickhead

Question by mb135099: What is a sure-fire way to find the very best anti-virus software?
Ever since I got my computer I’ve had several different anti virus softwares (All of them were free). My first (Norton) was, well, a horror story. It would be able to find viruses, but it could rarely remove them so I’m left with a sense of paranoia that one of 40 or so viruses that couldn’t be moved/removed would strike. or something. So, once the trial ran out on that I moved on to AVG version 7 trial. This was an absolutely great program. It found all of the viruses norton did and then some and removed all of them. it automatically scanned my computer in the background on startup and warned me whenever something was found or when there was a threat in progress. Of course, I got stupid and through a painful process accidentally made my AVG program effectively broken. So I went searching for it online only to find out it was replaced by AVG version 8 trial which I wound up downloading after struggling to remove AVG 7. And, honestly, I would have preferred my stock norton over avg 8. It barely did anything. I tried to start a full computer scan and it did nothing. I tried to schedule a scan and still nothing happened. So, I asked my sister (Who is great with computers) and a few other people in my school and at the end decided to go with avast. It’s not necessarily a bad program, but it hasn’t exactly satisfied me. It scans, which makes it many times better than avg 8 but I feel like it might be missing viruses. and that’s where I am today.

My problem is that it seems like the best anti virus software is as much a matter of opinion as halo vs. gears of war vs call of duty. Is there any way to find out what truly is the best free anti virus software, like a website to go to? What programs would you recommend? how would you rate my past programs (if you can)?

thanks

Question by Samy: Free VS paid antivirus? What is your opinion? just a poll, hope i get many answers.?
We all have been using anti-virus softwares on our pcs whether free or paid.
And heres my experience……
I have used free anti-virus and spyware such as avast,avg,spybot search and destroy,spyware doctor,spysweeper,ad-aware and many more.Most of them slowed down my pc’s performance and i dont know why?.Also they were not effective enuff to protect the pc for simple fact i had to reformat my pc due to virus attacks on prior instances.
On the other hand i am currently using paid versions of kaspersky and Norton on my pc’s and honestly i feel they are working good for me.I dont know why but many people hate norton but from my personal experience i find it very easy, effective and trustworthy.Also its not making my pc slow.Likewise with kaspersky, infact it has made my pc work faster than ever.
What do you think, guys?

Just one brand may not be enough… I like SpySweeper but many folks gripe about it – reviews on the net are generally positive… but once I had a friend with it who had something that SpySweeper could not remove – so we installed Spyware Doctor and it got the bad guy out of there… Your best bet is to keep around a disk with several different brands ready to go if you do get infected.

Question by Josh B: Norton VS. AVG VS. Avast, which is better?
so which is truly the best out of the 3??

Best answer:

Answer by danuitti
The ratings change all the time. Right now, maybe Norton is best… tomorrow, Avast. Maybe AVG next week.

You see, we need a diversity of solutions, so there is NO BEST. With diversity, more of us are protected. You see, if we all had the same (best), then one virus could wipe us all out.

Good luck and Happy Computing!

Question by AnswerBuddy: AVAST VS AVG VS NORTON 36O?

Best answer:

Answer by silvertabbies
Avast free edition I like and used for past two years – very unobtrusive.
Used AVG for the previous 6 years. Would not consider anything you have to pay for – free is good and adequate.
