Turn The Screws!

Open your eyes, look in front, look at the back, look at any angle and you will see something that is an engineer's creation.

Engineers have been making things possible that others could only imagine. It perfectly makes sense to have a common place for engineers from around the world where they can share ideas, innovate, & help each other. Engineers are eternal, with the younger at 62 & the youngest at 17, the CEan gang consists of working professionals, students, entrepreneurs, CEOs, professors, geeks & nerds.

Maybe the network shield part of it stops the SQL server connections

Have been using Norton for quite some time now and I'm told the new 360 rocks. But I'll still go for NOD32.

Avast? Biggie can you tell me more about it? And what about Quickheal? Heard its good

AVAST actually rocks on my Vista powered notebook. One thing I like about it is that it updates frequently and I haven't had any problems or system performance issues.

AVG - I tried it but someone told me (here on CE) that it only checks for the viruses/trojans but doesn't remove them. AVAST had great reviews on other forums and I decided to switch to it.

I'm not quite sure about QuickHeal. They do advertise a lot though .

Have any of you had any experience with the "kinza.exe" virus?? My updated NOD32 with its standard protection could not detect it. It was only when i scanned with full protection in safe mode that it was detected, but by then part of the damage had be done and a few system files had to be deleted. My system is s bit wobbly now.
