RE: [dba-Tech] Pop-upsJon,
Can you be more specific in regards to what Ad-Aware finds that Spybot
doesn't? I dropped using Ad-Aware when I started using Spybot because it
seemed more thorough. I also use Pest Patrol because it has a memory
resident scanner that stops stuff from getting installed in the first place.
I have my network setup using windows ICS as my dhcp server - along with
NIS(Norton firewall plus NAV, add-blocking, personal info protection,
intrusion detection, spam filtering and parentol controls. I also have user
level security in place. Do you see any problems with that (other than the
cost)?
John

Ad-aware finds stuff that spybot doesn't and vice versa... after I've run
a spybot scan (typically once a week) I run ad-aware and it always finds
more things. Sygate, huh? I'll check that out when my licence for Zonealarm
runs out :-)
Oh, and I go through an ADSL router too, which is a dhcp server, and has
limited protection too :-)

Jon,
Why have ad-aware and spybot? IMNSHO, spybot catches all and does a
better job at it w/o taking your pc hostage while it searches all
avenues (registry, memory, and hdd). btw, I've found that sygate
personal firewall is a more stable more secure firewall than
zonealarm and it's still just as easy to use. Granted it doens't
have all that AOL look and feel, but everything is very intuitive.
btw, with all the security you've got you never once mentioned that
you surf via proxy ;o)
