Two computer questions:


1.) What does everyone use for security/cleanup purposes? My neice/nephew jacked my fucking computer an I can't get it cleaned up.

2.) What does everyone use for filesharing/music downloads? Lately Limewire but doesn't seem to find anything I'm really interested in.

Thanks
Seth

For security I use Avast. It's free and hasn't caused any problems for me. It's as good as McAfee as far as I'm concerned.

I don't download music, but most people around here seem to use soulseek.

Like I said, it's worked great for me. It picked up some spyware that McAfee missed.

1) AVG, Ad-Aware & Spybot Search & Destroy, if you got problems with your browser, Hijack This!

2) Torrents, Soulseek is also good, love my torrents though.




A lot of people ask me what kind of music I like. I love "soul music". My "soul music" isn’t a style, genre or niche. It’s music that is genuine. It’s a painful lyric, a dirty bassline, it’s a harrowing vocal, it’s feedback, it’s an anthem, it’s a love song, it’s anarchy. I’ve got my personal favourites but in the end it doesn’t matter who or where it comes from... so long as it’s good and it's real.

I was using Azureus 2.5.0.4 which was easy as hell to use & make changes to, but once I got past 600 or so active torrents it ran like hell. I'm now using uTorrent 1.8.1 stable, tried Vuze (Azureus 3.1.1.1) but it was still slow and had soome hefty bugs in it. If Azureus was quicker and had no problems (might check out v4) I may switch back but uTorrent seems pretty kick ass, way less resources wasted & speedy as hell with 1,200 torrents running.
