  1. Mobile phones should have emergency buttons of some sort and there should be more places that use 911, in my opinion. The only problem with mobile phones is that you can't always rely on the signal.....I'd hate to send a text message at 9:50am, (have the signal wondering around like a lost puppy) and at 10:20 arrive at my house just to be looking at my dead body.
  2. http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ The above site has a list of sites that include hacking challenges...there looks to be about 20 or so.
  3. No no, not a problem as in installing it. Mozilla is capable of being installed on the school computers, and of course, my computer. The school has it setup to where the schools site checks compatibility with browsers, which is quite stupid, I think, but they don't always update it with the newest Mozilla. But, even if I use an older Mozilla or a newer Mozilla, it actually takes longer to load up than IE, and I don't need it to load slower, especially since I am one of the"do at the last minute" type of person.
  4. I use Mozilla Firefox and occasionally, IE, sadly. I more or less like the look and feel of Mozilla. Tabs/bookmarks/etc are just in the right spots. The addons are nice, too. I enjoy using adblock, and especially enjoy using downthemall.The reason I still use IE is because I have online classes and the schools website gives Mozilla a hard time, otherwise I would hack the WindowsXp operating system, and remove all instances of IE from my computer.
  5. With most firewalls, in my opinion, especially firewalls that ask if you want to accept something or not, if you are doing something like installing software, or opening up a browser, etc., then more than likely you want to accept it. Most of the time, if a firewall starts asking you if you want to accept something or not while your not doing anything, then you probably don't want to accept it, obviously.
  6. I have used both Limewire and Frostwire. For me, there is a big difference between the two. Frostwire doesn't connect while I am using the school internet, but Limewire does.
  7. I don't think one antivirus is sufficient enough to protect a computer, and real-time scanners always slow the computer down. Having more than one antivirus is good because not all antiviruses are made to find the same viruses nor are they made the same. So where one may find a virus and may not permanently remove it, another might do this.On my computer:Zonealarm internet Security Suite - Free Trial/Commercial - Make sure to update antivirus and spyware - set advanced options for both antispyware and antivirus to do deep scan for best results - is the best, in my opinion. I have tested nearly all antivirus programs listed in a two year period, and it has proven best. I only run it on days that I have set for my routine all day scan. But, if needed, also has antispyware, and firewall.Xoftspyse - Commercial - really good for quick efficient scans in the beginning of having problems.Removeit pro - Free/Commercial - really good for efficient scans in the beginning of having problems.A-Squared Free - Has proven to be the next best free.ClamWin - normally don't recommend but pretty good.With all antivirus and antispyware programs though, you need to take the time to make sure the program gets updated and settings are correct. You also have to set times for scanning your computer. The best preventer, in my opinion, is the person operating the computer, though. You got to make sure you don't go on sites that have been most proven to have viruses/spyware/malware/adware or download software, without researching it first. Not to brag: (Just example; Being a software tester in search of the best virus/spyware/malware/adware/rootkit/etc remover has its side of effects (bad and good), but have learned to note all pros/cons of programs, which all software has its pros/cons)On my computer, like I said, I have no firewall running, and I have no real-time scanner running. When I scan on my designated days, all my scanners (more than whats listed) may find 1 or 2 viruses, and maybe 1 or 2 spyware. I usually scan about every month or so. In that amount of time, a lot of people I know (I can't say for everyone else) will be asking me to scan their computer, and have at least 10 virus and 10 spyware.
  8. I would have to say the weirdest thing I have ever seen is.....Weirdest Thing. lmao.
