Linux is only free if you don't value your time.
Thanks for the laugh. Digging up that old tired cliché in a thread where everyone - including the site's creator - is wasting their time trying to understand what's wrong with the original poster's Windows computer, makes it all the more laughable.
Windows is only acceptable if you don't value your sanity.
He he he...
Computers are confusing. How come you have to get all these different things, has nobody just got a all in one package.
Just curious cos my mum has a computer and she always phones and asks me questions. She got that norton 360, should I warn her against it?
If she had an ANG would she need a firewall. Perhaps a chess site ain't the best place to be asking, bit you lot seem to know something about it.
not that i know of, anyway it will cost about £250 or $421.95 for all of the software and it will make your computer very slow.
I think in the case of Windows credit may be due to Xerox for the invention and both Microsoft and Apple for the theft.
I'm also surprised you include "bought" beside "borrowed" (by which I assume you mean stole) and "stole". What's wrong with buying a good idea?
use mac ,,,,,
Norton can be a pain in the ass! and cause problems, unless you have miles of ram, it's a greedy progam, as for this site, it has no more problems than a lot of other sites. recomend AVG AND ZONE ALARM.

There's nothing wrong with stealing ideas and getting patents to prevent others from using them...
I'm not fully up to speed with patent law, nor am I defending Microsoft's business practices because I'm no expert there either but doesn't the ability to demonstrate prior use exempt you from patent restrictions? Perhaps those who had their ideas taken should have patented them themselves in order to prevent such shenanigans.
... What's wrong with buying a good idea?
Nothing, unless your intent is to bury it. Another documented Microsoft business practice. If you can't beat the competitor, eat the competitor.
Example? I can't imagine the DOJ looks kindly on this type of thing.
I hope I don't get viruses from the ads. I'm pretty sure that chess.com is virus-free but the ads could possibly have malware.
Everytime I login, my computer gets hit with attacks, trojans, etc. This has been happening since the last site upgrade.
sry i rly dont know what yr talking about.
He's saying that every time he logs in he gets attacked by trojan horses and stuff.
This isn't happening with mine...and I thought mine was the worst cuz we havent installed anything since 2007.
No problem here.
yep no problem!
perhaps its your computer's prob..!!
hi ca we play chess online
I don't like Norton or McAfee. I think they are worse with their warnings and alerts and advertising than those they are supposed to protect us from. I use avast! It's free and easy and I've had no problems. (and no... I'm not working for them)
yes wormrose. avast is efficient and swift. sometimes, in my usb drive, there may be trojan horses, and on my pc, i have norton and avast. the first to warn me of a virus is avast. so I've been a loyal user of avast and dun rly trust norton scans.
AVG free is best. I've dumped Norton because indeed, it is a resource stealer and not that affective. Second best and close to the best is AVAST.
It is most likely your own computer. As Erik said, if it were Chess.com, many more users would be complaining and leaving the site.
AVG Free and/or (io not 10) IO Bit 360 v1.01 free with IO Bit Advanced System Care Free,get all from c.net free to download free to use.
Paid for and expensive Norton fails to detect an awful lot of infections, that these two free applications will find and cure.
Norton is slow I mean slooooooooooooww,and it is not very good at it's job!
It is disk and memory hungry too.
AVG Free
IO Bit Security 360
Advanced System Care from IO bit
First two are virus/malware scanners that run happily together.
The third one is a windows optimizer that works, but untick privacy sweep or it will delete all your saved cookies and passwords.This one does a security sweep and then redirects you to a third party web site,where you can paste the report to, check out all unknown applications that are running on your PC.
