Thanks for the PM Hazel , and I will keep an eye on things I started checking the startup programs list mainly because I installed some software for a "HP-Printer" and was just checking and making sure that HP-auto update software wasn't enabled. While there at the startup list' I decided to do some home work and find out more about the other listed entries That's when I stumbled upon VTTrayp.exe

Hi Hazel Yes I have disabled it, and I'm not having any problems that I'm aware of I thought about a hjt log, but I didn't want to wast anyone's time since avast! & SUPERAntiSpyware found nothing.

Hey all In my startup list I have> (VTTrayp.exe) "Bleeping Computers" says it's a "IRCBOT" and says the other similar listing> (VTtrayp.exe) is part of "S3 Graphics Controllers" If I search for this file "spelling" either way' I get the same results? S3 VTTrayp.exe C:\WINDOWS\system32 S3 VTTRAYP.EXE C:\WINDOWS\OPTIONS\DRIVERS\VIDEO\P4M800 I did thorough scans with avast! & SUPERAntiSpyware, and my PC comes up clean. Is this some sort of false positive? do I have a problem? Date created 29/03/2006 for both files is the date I got this PC. All helpfull replies apreciated

Thanks guys I'll terminate the 3 modules that I mentioned. I have no need or reason to use any software apps that those modules provide protection for. Craig

OK before I start playing around with any settings , I thought I better ask 1st Provider> Instant Messaging...I don't use any IM program. 2nd Provider> Outlook/Exchange...I don't think I have it? It's not Outlook Express is it? 3rd Provider> P2P...I dont use any such program. Well my question is' can I simply click the (Terminate) button for each of these provider modules under provider actions? Craig

avast! 4.8

Hey razz I was using Sandboxie (free version) with IE7 & Outlook Express for months, and I wouldn't launch IE7 without it! I'm now using it with Firefox & Thunderbird

Hi Dennis I've been tied up with work and other boring stuff I hope to spend more time on the net & here in the future Thanks to all for the replies to my post

Hi humpty Below is my "Firefox Memory Usage" results. Memory cache device Number of entries: 0 Maximum storage size: 18432 KiB Storage in use: 4194303 KiB Inactive storage: 0 KiB How do I read these results? How many (MB of RAM) is being used? Thanks for the info

Hi YoKenny So your suggesting that I use Sandboxie with "Firefox & Thunderbird"?

Hi all I've made "Firefox" my default browser & "Thunderbird" my default e-mail program. When I was using IE7 & Outlook Express, I always ran these apps sandboxed! just to be on the safe side:) Should I bother with Sandboxie when using the Mozilla apps? Do I need to worry about "security" as I did with the Microsoft products? Thanks in advance

I have a Gigabyte "GA-8VM800PMD-775 Motherboard" and seeing the way these things are manufactured was amazing Thanks for the link Humpty

Hey Dennis! Congratulations

Hey thanks crofty59 I just use the "free" version, and I didn't realize that there was a (program update) feature that is so easy to use:-) Thanks

Hi guys I'm just wondering If I need to update from avast! version (4.8.1201) to (4.8.1229) If avast! version (4.8.1201) has an up to date (virus database) do I really need to update the program? And If I should update to version (4.8.1229) how do I do it? Will the later version just install over the current version? Or do I need to uninstall the version I have? before installing the later version? Will my Registration Key work with the newer version?

I have to disagree! any fool could jump from a helicopter onto a fish! Fishing is a great "sport" that takes some amount of skill, knowledge, and patience Hey Dennis , congrats on your knighthood to (Moderator) status!

Hmm ... my life seems to governed around Murphy's law

Thanks for the link AJ

Thanks for all the help I need an "AGP Bus Type" of video card, that will work with my 300 watt power supply.

Hi guys I'm trying to determine what "type" of video card I have? Is my card a "PCI" or "AGP" card? NVIDIA GeForce FX 5200 128 MB Windows Device Manager Reports that the device is working properly. Location: PCI bus 1, device 0, function 0 GA-8VM800PMD-775 Motherboard Expansion Slots: 1 AGP slot & 3 PCI slots My video card is on the "AGP" slot, dose this mean that my video card is a "AGP" type of card? even though it's location is "PCI bus 1" I'm shopping for a new video card... and getting a little bit confused Thanks in advance for any helpful info

Hi davy , about an hour ago I wasn't able to check for "SpywareBlaster" updates & I couldn't get to www.Javacoolsoftware.com I'm glad to see that everythings working again

Hi guys Yesterday SpywareBlaster got an update! Today I checked for "updates" and a message came up saying that connection to the update server could not be made Does anyone know whats going on? www.Javacoolsoftware.com is down also

I'm another happy avast! 4.8 Home Edition user , and the only changes I made were on the... Report file page Selected> Create report file Selected> Overwrite existing Troubleshooting page Selected> Check for full screen applications (e.g. games) before displaying pop ups

Exactly what I have done! Avast 4.8 Home Edition is what I have happily changed over to

Sorry , I stand corrected. Or did "Grisoft" just do another back flip? Remember the deadline for AVG 7.5 Updates was supposed to be May 31, and now it's December 31. I hope every feature that is available in "AVG 8.0 free" stays fully functional for the life of the program for the sake of everyone that decides to install it.
