Mclaneinc Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 A friend swears by Nortons but he has loads of issues which I'm sure are Norton created. I use Comodo as its free, once I set it up how I want it ie *I* choose what comes in and out of the machine it seems ok, ok AV and decent FW. Not a resource hog (so far) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kheffington Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Microsoft security essentials is free from and Microsoft and is pretty good too. Norton's Antivirus is good but seems to eat a lot of resources and definitely hits a ton of false positives. Setting Norton to ignore the file when you know it is a false positive is very hard to --do as well. It just nukes the file usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEtalGuy66 Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 Yeah.. If you are an idiot, you deserve to have your machine terded down.. You can either terd it down yourself by running antivirus software, or just let it get terded down by others' malware that you will inadvertantly allow to infest your machine. If you have enough experience and common sense to THINK about what is happening (or could potentially be happening) with every mouse-click, input, or network connection, you don't need any of that.. I run my windows machines with full admin rights, and I dont use any antivirus software, and I routinely disable all security (crippleware) features of the newer windows OSes, and I never get my systems infected.. The 70+ people(windows users) who work at my job, where I am administrator, do NOT have admin rights, all of their data is 100% redirected to network storage which is CONSTANTLY actively scanned by enterprise class anti-malware software.. IF any of their machines should get a "worm" (it hasnt happened yet) I can just wipe/re-image the local system/boot partition on their workstation and none of their user data is effected.. Point is.. The client machines do NOT run performance-robbing "anti-malware" TERD-WARE and we have zero malware-related downtime.. Common sense and experience may not be the UNIVERSAL protection against malware, but it goes an ENOURMOUSLY long way when employed correctly by those who have it.. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svenski Posted March 8, 2012 Share Posted March 8, 2012 I'd never use Norton and I'd never use a free AV package . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Common sense and experience may not be the UNIVERSAL protection against malware, but it goes an ENOURMOUSLY long way when employed correctly by those who have it.. AV is only one piece of the defense puzzle, and I also think you need it. Your users dont need admin rights to be infected with malware. Are you doing app whitelisting? If not, and you dont run any sec tools on your desktops, how do you KNOW you arent infected? Modern malware is very stealthy, or at least can be. Local privilege escalations do exist... This is my day job. Here's what i think you need if you want to do a passable job of it security: AV HIPS NIDS/NIPS centralized logging/alerting web proxy/filtering email inspection/av admin rights removed where possible complete patching policy and procedures app white listing where possible and all the other basic best practices that are no longer adequate in and of themselves, like firewalls encryption, etc...

Shawn Jefferson Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 It's possible to write viruses for the Atari 8-bits.... Not much money in it though. I wonder about security of atari emulators. Maybe i should start fuzzing file formats... It would be a great way to bring my two computer interests together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MVladimir Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 It on my computer, not anywhere else. The CZ site with original torrent is down a lot years ago. Read my previous message - I update it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVladimir Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 One of possible solution - I try to upload content of this torrent to Mediafire or Mega divide it with RAR to multi volume archive. Not now - it take time for me - slow channel from me. I post here when done. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclaneinc Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Hi Vladimir, Thank you for the link, just had a look at some of the files, found it a little odd that there seemed to be no cartridges in the games section. I did expect loads of tape images as Eastern Europe was the home of the turbo loader. Carts not so popular? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MVladimir Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 Since links to a copy of the content have leaked to the public, the exchange of this content is closed. I didn't give a permission to post links for public access . I'm not sure if the autor of initial torrent satisfied that I make a copy of content and redistributing it for everyone. Anyone who ask me this content, write me a message and you get a link to download. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted January 31, 2023 Share Posted January 31, 2023 This has now been resolved as a simple mistake, no links were made public.. Me and Vladimir are still good. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
