T2W - Security and Virus Information

bonsai · May 7, 2004, 3:26am

as a matter of interest, is it fair to suggest that W95 is now safe from these latest viruses because of its different architecture ?
i.e 16bit

Safer maybe, but a quick check revealed this http://securityresponse.symantec.com...w32.arcam.html
You just can't afford not be up to date.

Excellent looking site oatman, just downloaded about 10 'power toys'!

I was going to ask where you find the time to look for them, but from the time you posted, I can see you don't sleep.

Thanks, Oatman.

Have today added results of testing several firewalls due to some firewall issues of my own this week.

Look under the "firewall" section for results. Feedback/comments welcome.

I've run the Symantec security and AV checks. I'm completely stealthed and clean as a whistle

I'm running Sygate and Antivir, both free versions.

Thats interesting Oatman - I run the same AV and firewall as you, yet Symantec showed the ports I've listed in the guide as being open, and says I have no AV software installed. Odd.

Rosso, here's another AV etc programme. It looks OK but I don't of anyone who's used it yet.

Have a look. I think the other anti troj and spyware progs that we use probably take care of the extras it offers.
