Technical Help / Re: McAfee sub. expiring - what next?
« on: Saturday 28 April 07 19:35 BST (UK) »
To solve your Spam problems you need to download Spamfighter from here...
http://www.spamfighter.com/
It's FREE....
AVG is also a must......to avoid any conflicts, you would have to dump McAfee...no great loss believe me...
ZoneAlarm, although quite good, has a nasty habit of assuming it knows better than you and can cause allsorts of hard to define problems....if you want a trouble free Firewall, look for Agnitum 'Outpost Firewall. v.1.0 Freeware'

If your in the UK you can get the Fuji 5600 from Asdas for about the same price (£130/£140)....and that is an absolute bargain.....
Check it's features on Google.....one of which is 10x Optical Zoom....

Technical Help / Re: Adobe reader 6.0
« on: Monday 09 April 07 16:50 BST (UK) »Just something worth considering before you download that massive bloatware 'Acrobat Reader'...it's something like a 20MB download and comes with allsorts of junk...
So if you want something light (1.5MB download) that is just as good if not better for PDF stuff, try here...

I dumped Adobe long ago in favour of this programme...it uses virtually no resources whatsoever and it opens instantly without all the Adobe type 'Bells and Whistles'......

Technical Help / Re: svchost.exe and slow start up
« on: Friday 06 April 07 11:04 BST (UK) »Hiya Gadget,
Real Player could well be your problem...it comes with loads of non-event stuff....
Try uninstalling it TOTALLY from your system and then go here and give 'Real Alternative' a go....
