Much less likely to be harmful to your computer than any Symantec product...

[Shoppinit]

I've been using HTTrack for years and years. As with anything you download take the necessary precautions. If you have a doubt about it, send it to a site like virustotal.com

Thanks Shop.
I just wanted to be sure and have a word from someone using that software.

Now Symantec....Years ago I had a Norton antivirus installed on my laptop and it was painfuly slow. But few months ago when I was buying new laptop, salesman recommeded Norton. After giving him my experience with it, he said the new version is completely different and recommeded to visit some sites for review. I did and then went for the new version of Norton 360 and didn't lift a finger ever since. It does almost everything automatically and has a very nice back-up feature which works for me. It is also very easy on resources and does not slow the computer down,but I must say I have a quite capable system. However, I am not an IT expert so take this as a lay person exprience.

Well as someone in IT, I can tell you that Norton has caused me way more problems than any virus ever has. It's badly written bloatware sold in a pretty yellow box to unsuspecting people.

Rant off.

i would recommend Kaspersky or Bitdefender...

And as an IT, what antivirus would you recommmend?

[Shoppinit]

Whichever one you want. They are all crap. And not: downloading dodgy stuff, clicking "OK" when a window comes up that says you need to scan your registry, visiting dodgy sites or opening attachments from badly written emails from your bank.

Symantec corporate products are ok, but as Shopp, I wouldn't recommend any Norton home products on my worst enemy or any of the Mcafee internet security guff. In fact I wouldn;t touch any product with it's own built in firewall etc etc. What is wrong with the MS built in firewalls, especially when a lot of the time you sit behind a hardware firewall of varying degrees of complexity.

While we still use Symantec Corp products a fair bit, wherever possible I recommend that home users go with the free Avast! home edition av product. It has been head and shoulders better at keeping friends, family and work colleague's machines free of nasties and quite a lot of our daily dross work is fixing spyware infections from drongo clients.

My dad was a huge virus monkey, once infecting the Australian High Commision as one of his better feats but since slapping Avast on his machine over 2 years, not a fart. Very good as picking up web-based nasties too in my experience.

After the years' license runs out either pay the cheap fee or claim poverty and get another year. It is very efficient on cpu load etc imo. No idea if typos above but typing in a rush as about to drive 3 hours in to the arse end of Africa

[Mr Footlong]

Just to add, if this site is still up when I get back and someone else hasn't leeched it, I will see how good a job I can do caching it with IDM or similar.

[Ryan_Pestell]

i dont run any anti-virus, and never have done, windows firewall has done its job in 8-9 years of ownerships.

That's why I was asking about HTTrack before opening it.

Thanks for your advice.

Just came across this:

http://elsaweb.spaghetticoder.org/

Seems to be complete.

Don't know how long it will stay up for.

Hi Shoppinit,

Many thanks for useful link.

First time I have been able to see any manual about the C6 RS6. I have posted your link to the C6 forum

If Footlong can pdf the manual to his site, would be excellent.

When I used to use windows I found that nod32, now eset were the best.

Then I went mac and it was the best thing I did. I still use eset on my notebook for Vagcom though
