PC-Cillin
Anyone else using the software it recommended in the Security Alert (since
Norton is FUBAR). It's called PC-Cillin. I'm very much liking it. Easy to set up the antivirus, spyware, and firewall settings. Looks like it's going to be a quality product and not near the processing hog that Norton was. |

PC-Cillin
I'm having a problem with it. First of all it was never able to complete an
update and kept giving me error messages. It didn't migrate over when I installed RC1 over Beta 2 and it won't let me uninstall it. A real joy. "Ben" wrote in message ...

PC-Cillin
Beware of PC-Cillin. When I originally loaded the beta on my Vista PC, it let
a nasty "Grabber" slip through, and really mucked up my system. I am using AVAST! now and it seems to work much better. Not to mention, AVAST! is free for a year, vice only having a 30 day trial period. Just a thought. "Larry" wrote: I'm having a problem with it.

I had 2 problems with Trend Micro's PC-cillin. Their update server had
problems (now fixed) but worse was the cpu hogging at startup - I couldn't even open Task manager for 2 minutes. I prefer AVG but Avast is good too.

PC-Cillin
I used pc-cillin and experienced a few problems, enough to uninstall when
the vista compatable avast became available. It stopped the Spamta worm after vista UAC and IE protected mode stopped it first, listing the .js loader names and stopping their ability to load. Then I got the messege that spyware has been detected and blocked by avast. So, 2 layrs of protection with Vista security worrking well SDog "Spirefm" wrote in message ...

PC-Cillin
My biggest start up problem was the dial up network. While the machine boots
to the desktop ok i have always had a 1 or 2 minute wait before i could actually do anything. This was while the dial up networking icon was loading in the notification area. I've taken PC Cillin off and installed Avast but, while the time needed to load the DUN has slightly decreased it still takes around 1 minute to load. I haven't install RC2 yet so i'm hoping that this will cure the problem. I'm not holding out much hope, but i'll have to wait and see!! -- John Barnett MVP Associate Expert http://xphelpandsupport.mvps.org http://vistasupport.mvps.org The information in this mail/post is supplied "as is".
