My Gift To Abandonia

[Caged]

hey guys, i wanna give something back and as game reviews aren't going anywhere, i wanna make a database of as many spyware removal utilities as i can manage to download. This would put my computer at some rsik, but i am willing to take the chance as long as i know it will be appreciated.

It would take me a month+ to put it together, so think of this as placing your order early. I will make my decision based upon the votes placed by next weekend and let you know hwo it goes. :ok:

[GraveDigger]

Guess! Who cast the second vote? :D

[The Levitating Nun]

Sounds like a good idea to me, perhaps (if you have time or want to) you could put them in order of how good you consider them to be?

[Yamcha]

Lets see what the admins think...

[quatroking]

I have nulled my vote...
Somewhat idiot huh?
(i have picked the wrong button)


(HEAVY muck!!!!)

[Omuletzu]

Sounds good, and it really shows a lot that you are willing to sacrifice your time for us :ok:

[konfliktPL]

But why You want to do that for? Are existing databases of spyware removal tools not enough?
What about this one: http://spywarewarrior.com/asw-test-guide.htm
Or simply google - type spyware removal comparison, etc.
To my mind building new database is senseless.

I voted no because this site is about old DOS games. If you want to create a new site and store those info on it tough I'm all for it. :ok:

um, but thats why i thought i would put it in Technical Forum....its a techy thing and thought it would add to the overall goodwill of the site. That, and how can you trust a spyware guide when you don't know the person. I can assure you, if any of the programs cause smoke to billow from my PC, you guys will be the first to hear about it. And promptly thereafter, the bill for a replacement system will be mailed to the head smurf ;)

I don't understand what you are trying to make here... I use Adaware and Spybot S&D to cover my spyware needs, and they rarely find anything.

Its a proven fact that when one program goes through and finds nothing, another probably will. There is no end to spyware being able to lurk deep within a system and therefore one should have a couple of programs running to keep them out. However, hackers and malicious programs have sprung up taking advantage of the general publics appeal for better protection, creating faulty programs and dangerous malware that is just as bad as the bugs it is intended to remove.

Therefore, i create this database and include info about how good as many programs as i can find. I also want to be able to warn others about the bad programds to download. Also, what better way to try and get myself into the VIP section, no?

[cheesegrater]

I like viruses and spyware. I think it's kinda funny.

No comment. :wall:

Yeah, I got nothing to do, but franticly search for some spyware all the time.
My advice - install a firewall (eg. outpost, kerio) plus a antivirus software (kaspersky?), and occasionaly scan your computer with a antispyware (ad-aware?). Moreover, it is important to patch your OS (eg. Windows using Windows Update).
This is what should keep a personal computer safe.

to the above post....whatever

UPDATE:

Database is coming along well and is already getting large but the progress is slow as after i install each different program i must do a full system sweep for bugs and glitches.

[Lizard]

Why not?It wouldnt harm the site.And it is good way to become VIP...
Good Luck! :ok:

[troop18546]

Ofcourse! Do it. :ok:

[Dreadlord]

It sounds boring, but go ahead.

[Caged]

LOL

"It sounds boring, but go ahead."

I think thats the funniest post given in this thread. Thanks for the extra wave of support guys. I hope it won't take me too long to finish.
