dagwoood Posted August 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 is it anygood? i might download it if it is :Cool Toungue:I've installed it and going by first impressions, I'm quite impressed. It's obviously been designed with total beginners in mind as it's easy to set up, and once it is set up it should look after itself as it auto-updates and also provides real time spyware scanning. It found something both Spybot S&D and Ad-Aware missed.I'll see over the next few days/weeks if it causes any problems with my system and give everyone the heads up if I run into any anomalys.

expertec Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 So was the whole program written from scratch for Blueyonder, or are the various components based on some we already know? :huh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At a guess it's verifying you're on a Blueyonder connection. I might be wrong though.Thanks for adding the above thumbnail to my original post. I had read that, but forgot to edit my posting :blush: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It found two items, one of which was related to Fresh UI. I just added it to a trusted program list so as it will be "ignored" in the future.
