Sorry Tech, I don’t doubt your word but I will be giving it a miss. From what I’ve seen there really isn’t anything there that I need, allied with the total lack of information on the web site about it and its beta status I wouldn’t download it let alone install it.
If you remember there was another program discussed on the forums Avor?? were I found the web site was lacking in information, the program supposed to be the best thing since sliced bread and it wasn’t beta. Yet I said the same thing, I won’t install anything that has anything to do with or potentially effect my system security, unless I know exactly what it does.
Download the non-beta so, the last realease, version 1 if I’m not wrong.
It’s not the same. Arovax application - by the way, I’ve tested it one month, posted my opinions elsewhere - is a security application. Oh, you may trust the company, the website and so on.
But, a small freeware, that just do what it’s proposed to do, made by a common guy in Czech Republic, that don’t mess nothing…
We’ll became paranoid this way…
I believe in programmers, the serious one, for sure… If not, I won’t be making my own scripts and won’t even find avast! I’ll stay with the well known, with the big homepages full of colors and informations… I’ll be with Symantec or McAfee… I won’t trust in a Czech program if I thought this way. I left my preconcepts about software programmers a long time ago…
Oh, for sure, I’m not the programmer of NetRun, I’ve sent an email to the author but he did not answer me that polite (I asked for some improvements and he get nervous). So, I’m not defending this programm or any other, just that computer is not a closed world where you can trust everything by yourself. avast! needs so many improvements that I don’t believe in it… I believe in cooperation (using a Techie101’s phrase), I believe in development.
Sorry to write that long. Nothing personal but from time to time I need to post a phisolophic thread besides tons of technical bla-bla-bla I’m used to
Starfighter,
There is a big difference between Items in the Quick Launch tray (on the left - next to start) and items in the system tray
On the right side (next to the clock)
The items in the system tray are loaded into memory and will slow down the boot process.
The items in the Quick Launch tray, aren’t loaded into memory till you click on them.
