    Best Current Anti-Spyware/Malware Progs?

    That type of attitude is completely unnecessary, and you're not talking to a teenager, so why don't you just either continue to be helpful or leave it alone. It's neither helpful in answering my question about Threatsense, nor is it constructive, not to you mention you sound "paranoid"...

    Best Current Anti-Spyware/Malware Progs?

    Right, I know about the Threatsense engine, but do you have to actually have Threatsense enabled (which looks like it's just for submission of things to the company, from it's explanation) for it to be working? I have it off, because I don't particularly like sending info about anything to...

    Best Current Anti-Spyware/Malware Progs?

    Ok, but I'm still confused about the whole "password/malware" thing stated by YeOldeStonecat. I use XP Pro, but was does using/not using an admin password have to do with malware "installing itself" on your system? Confused by his statement about that. As for NOD32, if it's blocking any...

    Best Current Anti-Spyware/Malware Progs?

    Confused on two things here: 1) How would not giving the admin account allow malware to install itself? The malware "assumes" it's left blank? (Have never used a password for admin, as there's only ever one account on my systems.) 2) NOD32 has no anti-spyware protocols that I've seen, and...

    does having 4 gigs of ram worth is now???

    2 GIGs has been the sweet-spot for gaming for many years, and is currently still. As above poster stated, maybe in '08 or '09 4 GIGs might reach a sweet-spot with DDR3 and the new mobos that support it.

    Stranglehold: Underrated & Long-Awaited

    I don't think anything could match the way the stories were told in Max Payne, as dark, gritty and engrossing as they were delivered. But as long as the story is delivered in a decent manner, it will only server to add to the game. Frankly, even if it isn't, it wont effect the enjoyment of the...

    Call of Juarez DX10 Performance and Image Quality @ [H]

    Gotta be honest, some of what you showed in that review was extremely impressive (great review, btw) but... ...honestly, you stated what I've been saying, is that some of what you see could indeed be done with DX9 if they'd just push it a bit more. Still not enough to make me spend $200 on...

    Stranglehold: Underrated & Long-Awaited

    Actually, no... PS3 version is Sept. 14 which is after the PC version. The PC and X360 versions are hitting the streets on Sept. 6th (5th is the release date but Tuesdays and Thursdays are when things hit shelves in retail). So in just about nine days.

    Stranglehold: Underrated & Long-Awaited

    I can understand where you're coming from. But with the over-the-top destruction, violence and action, maybe as the game furthers on into new levels we've not yet seen it'll continue to be enjoyable for those who feel that way. Multi-player too, is another aspect I find shocking they added, so...

    Stranglehold: Underrated & Long-Awaited

    Since there's so much discussion about so many other huge titles and not much on other games, though I'd bring this one up. I feel that Stranglehold is seriously underrated by many, which is funny, due to the fact that it's offering something that (honestly) so many have been waiting for since...

    Best Current Anti-Spyware/Malware Progs?

    What? They were sued for not listing certain programs as spyware that they knew were spyware? Never heard this. I, of course, use Firefox, a hardware firewall (currently Netgear Pro), NOD32 (where are the anti-spyware features though? automatic? or have to be turned on? don't remember seeing...

    Best Current Anti-Spyware/Malware Progs?

    Well, since aside from immunizing my system, Spybot has become relatively useless recently. So, I'm still using it for immunization but only using AdAware for scanning. I need some recommendations on some current, reliable and non-intrusive (from any perspective of resource usage to installing...

    Hardware Firewall/Router: Suggestions Needed

    Thanks again for the info. It's not that I don't really want wireless and have anything "against it", heh, I just don't know exactly how to set it up properly because, from what I've heard, you have to do some configurations in order to make sure it's "safe"? Or some such thing. But, if...

    Quake Wars or Crysis? Which would you get?

    Uh, I don't think it's just because it's getting "hyped". The "hype" is because of what Crysis is offering as a game, of which there is much proof in every preview and vid currently available of the game. Comparing Crysis against Quake Wars, generally speaking from all aspects of what a game...

    Got me a Thermalright HR-03 Plus but...

    You're getting a better bench using the 8x slot? Seems odd... and I wouldn't think a GPU driver would have anything to do with that, but if it works... Now maybe you can switch around to the first installation method and get better cooling for the GPU though, and you'll be set.

    Hardware Firewall/Router: Suggestions Needed

    Well, I don't necessarily need to see what it's doing. I just want to make sure I'm getting a router/firewall that I can be assured it's doing it's job. Also, I will not be running wireless, as I have no laptop etc. So, if anyone wants to "narrow things down" to one or two really good...

    Far Cry 2 Screens

    It might not look quite as astonishing as Crysis, but after the preview I just read about it.. the gameplay, open-world environments, truly reactive and intelligent AI, non-scripted and reactive AI actions and weather (actual weather patterns) etc. it definitely puts it on the "watch closely"...

    Bioshock changes.....2K listens!!!

    It's still an inconvenient, intrusive and totally unnecessary method, no matter how you look at it. To give just one of a hundred already-stated examples: I just reformatted one of my drives tonight, and two more to reformat tomorrow, between my gaming rig and the one I built for my wife...

    http://www.thermalright.com/a_page/main_support_installation_hr03-plus.htm#type1 Sounds like you've got the sink set up using the second method, which I personally don't feel is as good at cooling as the first installation method, with the sink "around" the GPU. I have the HR-03 on my...

    Hardware Firewall/Router: Suggestions Needed

    Thanks for the suggestions. So I should just go with wireless then. - Any advantages to turning off the wireless part? - What are/which has the best safety features? I guess those would be my main questions at this point, considering I'm not totally technically familiar with...

    Question About Driver Settings (8800 Series)

    Ok, I've figured it out, for those who don't know and want/need to: Setting AA/AF via right-clicking the taskbar icon does absolutely nothing no it's own. Tested it by turning off AA/AF in-game and using AA/AF set via the icon, and it did nothing. Then I left the in-game settings off...

    Hardware Firewall/Router: Suggestions Needed

    If you mean use an old PC as a "firewall" with IP cop on it, I don't have an old PC. I have two high-end gaming rigs. I wouldn't even know how to do that. What's Untangle? I need just a good router/firewall unit with at least four ports in the back.

    Hardware Firewall/Router: Suggestions Needed

    I'm looking for a very solid, safe and easy-to-use/understand hardware firewall/router (wired, not wireless) for home usage. Only two PCs will be connected to it. Preferably something that doesn't make you pay extra for the "extra features" of "advanced" QoS etc. and I've got to be behind...

    Spybot Error: What Does This Mean?

    your best gaming memories?

    Silent Hill, Resident Evil II and Resident Evil III: Nemesis. To me, three of the greatest games ever made that all had incredible and palpable atmospheres, and really did the greatest justice to their particular genre.

    2K screws the PC community again - PC version of Bioshock limited to 2 installs

    2K announces Mafia 2

    Actually, no... not for me, anyway. Even on the back of the box, XP is not listed. Mafia was released before XP, and every time I've tried running it on XP (yes, even patched) it has never worked. I'd try it again, but with so many new titles on the verge of release, there's really no point...

    2K screws the PC community again - PC version of Bioshock limited to 2 installs

    Look, every point that can be made both here and on the 2k forums has been made, and all of them extremely valid from an adult consumer point of view. Once you purchase something from a company, you own it, and there should never be these types of invasive and controlling intrusions. You...

    Question About Driver Settings (8800 Series)

    I don't generally change things per game unless necessary, as those are the lowest settings I prefer to run when possible, 4xAA/16xAF. I also don't like bothering with game profiles. I just set everything in-game as well. I don't have anything "set" to Override, but if you're saying that it...

    2K announces Mafia 2

    The first Mafia was incredible, so I hope they do as well with this one. Though, I have to admit, I'm a bit wary about 2k after the whole "Bioshock fiasco". Too bad the first one doesn't run on XP (unless that's changed?), or I'd still be playing it.

    Question About Driver Settings (8800 Series)

    I'm confused on one particular thing about AA/AF settings, so could someone help me out? When you set the AA/AF via the nVidia icon (right-click and set to High Quality and 4xAA/16xAF) do those settings take precedence over in-game settings? Is that actually forcing the AA/AF to run at...
