Hi Flash...

I don't really have any problems with Spy Sweeper. It has caught a few trojan install attempts over the years on two systems, but usually NOD32 beats in to the punch.

I tried WOT a while back, but didn't really find it that useful. With SiteAdvisor, NOD32, and Spy Sweeper, it seemed kind of redundant. Still, I reinstalled it again anyway to try it in case I might change my mind... and no, I didn't check out the SiteAdvisor comments. I figured they would point to the download... but it's strange that it only red flagged one of the sites since both had potentially nasty downloads.

I run Linux and open source software, so I'm not compatible with all of that Windows malware.
Don't need antivirus.

Don't need anti-spyware.

Heck, don't even need a disk defragmenter.

Try a site like this to scan your ports... https://www.grc.com/x/ne.dll?bh0bkyd2

It doesn't need to install anything. It tries to connect to your computer like it's a server.

My computer passed better than any Windows computer could without a lot of extra software being installed and properly configured.

All green. Even if the ports were OPEN (and none of them are), what would your Windows trojan do as soon as it got through? Crash.

Hello, m'dear!

Yeah, I knew that was the reason for your thread, that's why I started my own.

Thanks, Flash. :x
