Anti Virus Software

hitman pro 2 maybe?

actually what kind of errors are we talking here?

lol ok then i don't know
Marcel may have the answer

format c: ...?

If you haven't checked your hard drive for errors I'd recommend you to do that first.

And if you're not familiar with "Chkdsk" check instructions here: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP

Bram i have what you want but i need to do it by PM.

Indeed this is a nice program (AWC) but it doesn't help with hardware errors...I'm curious to know which program Marcel uses for these kind of errors.
A colleague told me this week he used Fresh Diagnose (7.82) It has a nice interface and includes some benchmarks (Freeware) (Don't use the Dutch interface: really bad translations unless you understand: "middelen van de hardware")
Of course software can fix only a very limited part of hardware errors, they don't install a mini pc technician in your pc... too bad though.

Edit: Tried the Freshdiagnostic tool myself now and as the title says, it's just a diagnostic tool. On my pc I had to end it through taskmanager, it didn't respond on normal exit functions

I use hiren's bootdisk, but i can't give you a link to donwload it. just use google and search for hiren. Latest version is 9.5 i think.

Muchos gracias!
Google willl show me the way...

type into google : Everest Home Edition

its free and it has detailed infos about your sys
everest will even show you web links for firmware or bios updates related to your hardware

The direct download lick is here:

They have had one for a long time. Ive used it on the family laptop for a long time now. Its very good.

If anyone would like a free antivirus which is a little more light weight for their gaming rig Avast! now has a free version too. http://avast.com/

Ah great i didn't knew it was free for a long time, atleast now it's a new version.

up to date is always the most important :good:

another free one is from Avira http://www.free-av.com/

and the avira engine was scoring the highest the last time i checked

While we're on a 'free security' thread, could anybody recommend a free firewall please. Aol used to give a free McAfee one but I'm not sure if that's still available...At least I can't find it.

AVG free + Superantispyware (google ) is about as good as a free combo you can get, safe wise.

I have just moved over to Norton Internet Security 2009 which always was notorius for comp resource eating but find this really great and it has a 90 free subsciption which is normally enough for me .....It also has a GAMERS MODE where it is less stringent on your PC and more IP freindly when doing online gaming.
