It's a 3rd party program. Monitors for driver updates, etc etc etc. It's
crumy, imho.

BTW:: How can I harvest my pics and mp3s from an old IDE drive

| Are there any adapters or is it a lost cause?

| Another Q - Is it possible to convert from the pre-loaded NTFS to FAT
| without a complete format, fdisk, and install?

Use a USB 2.0 to IDE external hard disk chassis.

You can't go from FAT to NTFS w/o a reformat.

I wasn't aware that BigFix still functions for home users.

Your details are flat out wrong, and I'm certainly not lying about it.
http://www.download.com/Malwarebytes-Anti-Malware/3000-8022_4-
10804572.htm

We are number 3 on download.com for a reason. The program works.
I know what MBAM is capable of doing, Christopher, I write some of the
definitions it uses. Our definition system is very comprehensive and we
are able to do all kinds of nifty things with the database commands.

As far as the false positive is concerned, You were the first and only
person to report it, but you refused to provide the log files which you
knew contained the information required to remove it, As you didn't seem
to keen on assisting in it's removal, I wasn't too concerned with
removing it as you were the only user reporting on it at the time.

Eventually another user had the issue and was kind enough to follow the
provided instructions. Walla, false positive removed. It was a years time
between you whining and refusing to provide the necessary information to
fix it, and the only other person ever to contact me regarding the false
positive.'

You are the one lying when you claimed the memory resident version was
hard in a system in windows vista. We have had very little issues with
windows Vista as far as that goes. And what few issues we do have will be
cleaned up soon.

I do have a question. The resident protection module is only available to
registered users. Your employer nor yourself are on record as having
purchased it, so are you indeed pirating our software too?

You dumbass I told you I'm not who you think I am and I don't work for NASA.
Why the hell are you looking through purchase records trying to find me?
That's a violation and it's illegal. I am going to to report this violation
to the BBB. As far as MBAM goes and what I said about it all you or anyone
has to do is test it for themselves. All you have to do is right click on
any file and it takes 10+ seconds to bring up the menu. Turn off resident
protection and it opens immediately. You can also visit any of the many
Antivirus 2008 websites, start the download or just cancel it, your MBAM
does nothing to block it. Avast will and your MBAM does NOT fix the damage
done to the display properties and screen saver tabs caused by malware nor
does it fix a corrupted Winsock. Test it for yourself. My Remove-it does all
that and fixes everything in less then 5 minutes not hours like you scan
takes. Download it here http://pcbutts1.com/downloads/tools/tools.htm

Cyberstalking is a crime. If you had one as bad as I did simply ignoring

I think if you try to run it, you'll find it's useless.

It wasn't particularly useful when it still had sources from which to
collect fixlets.
