I use NOD32 as I think its the best antivirus out there and it doesn't use much of the system resources unlike Norton and it updates once or twice a day. Its pretty simple to use too.

I use a program called eraser to permanently delete documents you can find it here http://www.tolvanen.com/eraser/ it overwrites the file 35 times so it cannot be recovered very easily.

I do like the new graphics of Windows Vista but if you haven't got a recent graphics card and a good amount of RAM then your computer is going to struggle. I don't think you have to have it switched on though. They won't work anyway if you haven't got a card newer than an NVIDIA FX5200 I think. Lets hope its more responsive when it is finally released. I don't think there are many real changes from XP they both look like they have the same features but I haven't spent a lot of time using it.

Hello didgeman I don't know if anyone sent you any invites but i've sent you 2 anyway. If somebody has already sent you some then you can give these away to a friend.And if anyone else wants some I still have plenty to give away.

My top 5 games are:1) Halo - Can't wait til Halo 2 comes out on PC2) Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas3) Age of Empires 34) Age of Empires 25) C&C Red Alert 2: Yuri's Revenge

OK i've got it working on Windows Vista Beta 2 so it isn't my router. I've disabled my firewall and still the problem persists. So it must be the operating system or something in it. I've also disabled popup blockers and tried everything firefoxrocks has suggested.

There is no security alert on my pc. But I did login to cpanel using a proxy the other day. So it must be my connection. I'll try resetting my IP address and if that does not work then i'll ask a friend to see if they can connect then i'll report back here.UPDATEOK i've just asked a friend to try it and he is on the same ISP as me and i've just reset my IP and it still doesn't work so I'm goin to mess about with the firewall and router and stuff and see if I can get it working.

Well I have tried using filezilla now and still cannot connect. I have also tried connecting to cpanel again and still cannot do that either. I have no idea what the problem is as I cannot even connect to the FTP or cpanel. Does it matter what country you are in as I live in the UK. When I goto my cpanel address it does think about connecting the loading bar across the bottom is slowly going across for about 20 seconds then it just says page cannot be displayed so I do not know if its a timeout or my IP has been denied for some reason.

Well I cannot actually get that far to enter my username and password. If anybody could please check my cpanel is http://forums.xisto.com/no_longer_exists/ and my ftp is ftp.selley.trap17.com

I have waited a few days and I still cannot access Cpanel or Ftp. Does anybody have any ideas on what could be the problem. Using SmartFtp the error to connect is "A socket operation was attempted to an unreachable host." Can anybody help me please?

I use FTP most of the time as it is faster. I use SmartFTP for this. I use Cpanel when I have loads of files to upload then usually I zip them up and upload it as one zip file. Then use Cpanel to unzip them. It is a lot faster this way. I only usually use cpanel when I have to upload files this way or create or edit MySQL databases.

Well I have just activated my account a few hours ago so this may be the problem so I will wait a couple of days and see. But its strange that I can access it through a proxy and the web address is working fine.

Does anyone know why I cannot access Cpanel or FTP. Whenever I try to access Cpanel I just get an error 404 page cannot be displayed and whenever I try to access Ftp it just says cannot connect.But if I go through a proxy I can acces Cpanel fine. Can anybody help meThanks in advance.
