General Discussion Area / Re: Anti Virus Protection

AVAST

Antivir let a virus through

Antivirus isn't going to stop all viruses getting through, certain malware/viruses (Conficker for example) work in a similar way to BITS (windows update transfer agent) hence they hook into the OS at a lower level than MS publishes for AV purposes.

The Antivirus may stop the creation of certain files that viruses try to create but a personal firewall and having everything patched up to date (ie. a currently supported OS and Apps are therefore required) is your best answer.

I'm slowly clawing 'em back!

Post count means shit.

You could have 5000 posts that amount to nothing, or 500 posts that amount to quality.....I know what I'd prefer to read.

Got to agree, never really understand what the big deal about post counts is.

Single-track roads. These are only wide enough for one vehicle. They may have special passing places. If you see a vehicle coming towards you, or the driver behind wants to overtake, pull into a passing place on your left, or wait opposite a passing place on your right. Give way to vehicles coming uphill whenever you can. If necessary, reverse until you reach a passing place to let the other vehicle pass. Slow down when passing pedestrians, cyclists and horse riders.

I was always taught that you never stop a laden vehicle - ie. you giveway to someone driving up a hill if you are descending it. (It's far easier to pulll over / reverse than the uphill car having to stop then restart again).

I would also get yourself down to a solicitor (1st hour free) and get a 'Clean break order' written ASAP.

« on: 05 January 2010, 18:44:19 »

Don't buy the cheap Chineese units from ebay etc, you will regret it I promise you!

Stick with Pioneer / Kenwood / Clarion for the double din units with sat nav. They are expensive but if you keep watching ebay for 2nd hand bargains one will turn up.....

Just don't bid against me!

It's also got an NCDC2011 head unit which wasn't standard fit, should be an NCDC2013 for UK spec cars.

Why would you enter a period of great stress in your life and buy an Omega at the same time ?
The day your meant to be picking the kids up you can gaurantee that you will have at least one of the following .....
Duff crank sensor
Misfire due to leaking rocker gaskets frying Dispack
Split oil cooler
auto box dropping into limp mode
cutting out due to sticky ICV
split HBV
worrying rattle from the front of the engine which sounds suspiciously like a cambelt tensioner self destructing etc,etc..................buy something Japanese,you deserve it.
