[anti virus help] Tracking cookies and tracers...And AVG issues

more fool them then. norton is the first thing to go when my dad's employer gets a new computer for the business (mind since I set the computers up that might have something to do with it :P)

Loonyliontracking cookies are not dangerous. I imagine AVG did not scan your external, and since it did not find anything they posed no threat. Generally viruses and the like have to be executed before they can do anything, if they're just sitting on the drive they're harmless until executed.No Warez allowed on this forum, and AVG is a perfectly good AV.

I usually scan my files before putting them in-guess I missed a few...BTW-I'm keeping AVG-just got the full one...Once i locate some stuff...[me=mds64]got help from an expert hacker/ex pirate[/me]Another friend suggested that NOD 32 but with a full AVg I might consider having both running-unless they conflict (please tell me NOW) I see no harm.Wow...I started another anti virus debate XD

Norton and McAfee are pre-installed with most of the laptops I buy,best to deal with that problem quickly and efficiently.
That Norton has the most complaints against it,slowing down and locking up peoples computers.Some Norton users were a bit happier when the 2009 version came out,but look at what your paying/getting compared with KIS.MDS,two AV running at same time,are you Crazy LOL.

Just needed that warning :)And...mine had AVG free preinstalled-custom install job you see.

Norton is sucks,horribly slowdown your computer, especially the Latest one.and I agree with you Loony, I have tried to give my opinion to one of the Supervisor there regarding their AV but they just ignore it,
thankfully, I'm only at there for about 1 and half months...Their computers startup is VERY-BERY-VERY slow, and how do I get specific document in time!!... *sigh*Thank god I bring my own Laptop with the Kaspersky IS installed. ;Dand, I have tried 2 AV runnnin on a same PC, IT WORK REALLY GREAT!! THEY KILL TROJAN WITHOUT MERCY!!!nah... i'm kidding, THE TROJAN WILL KILL YOUR AV FIRST BEFORE IT CAN DO ANY ACTION. ;D XD

LOL,we know how "tight" you are-trying to avoid paying Dealextreme $8 for a Pandora. :oIve got patches for every KIS/KAV,but Ill still buy a proper kit LOL.If I like a companies product,Ill buy it so the money goes towards future product improooooovement.

I preety much do the same-though I rather not even bother with a cracked anti virus-on a friends pc it detected trojans that I wouldn't have even known...And I might have bought the battery if you didn't kindly send it XD

You could have still went and did an online scan-only from a reputable place though.I test a lot of software myself and anything Ive not used,I ask a few security people I know for their opinions.
Have you download SAS and MBAM yet,they are 2 x very good programs,or are they LOL

SAS-MBAM ???Full names please...bad memory :(And I got a new mate who can do those scans-I'm also thinking of NOD32 again...slow but it does the trick.Apparently-and don't need registry cleaners ethier XD

Multiple AVs are not recommended because they can interfere with each other.

Superantispyware.
Malwarebytes.

ehh... so much to think about with PCs... I should so just switch to linux and not worry about all this crapSO I ran Avira and it came up with 9 trojans that AVG never noticed and one that AVG said it'd removed

I used to use AVG for about half a year (I think), I hated it, can't be bothered explaining why. I now use NOD32, it's great, I can actually click on ignore now without it popping back up every 10 seconds, good detection rates too.

Went round to fix my cousin's randomly crashing computer a while back, he had 5 AV packages installed, 1 of which was a fake. Cleaned it all up and impressed on him that he should stick to one, and then keep it updated!

So NOD32 is the best?When my mate FINNALLY gives me a copy I'll switch.Until then-might as well use the full AVG :)
