*me mysteriously appears in a puff of smoke*
Yesterday I received an alert from my AVG antivirus (free version) software.
It claimed that it had detected itself as being used for 'network use', and that if I didn't buy the network version from them, I would be exposing myself to 'possible legal liability'.
I shot off an angry email to their tech support, saying, 'This is preposterous... I downloaded the free version for my own personal use on my own personal laptop. I don't even know how to use this software for network use! I just use it to scan the files in my laptop! Now reply to me ASAP or I will be forced to uninstall it!!!'
Still waiting for the reply. -
hmmm.. what if they tell you 'okay.. it's free anyway'
-
Then I don't understand why the heck the software detected itself as being used for network use and tried to warn me of possible legal liability if I didn't buy their network version.Originally posted by the Bear:hmmm.. what if they tell you 'okay.. it's free anyway'
I can understand from their terms and conditions that I can only use it for my own personal use... which is precisely what I've been doing. I'm too much of a computer n00b to try to modify the software for network use or whatever it is that they claim that I've been doing.
Ah..... bollocks to them. If they don't bother replying I'll just uninstall it and download Avast Antivirus software. From what I've read, it's just as good as AVG, and it's also free of charge. -
hmm.. could be someone trying to tap on your notebook.. the wireless thingy.. leeching from it... and turning it into a network

My network's protected.Originally posted by the Bear:hmm.. could be someone trying to tap on your notebook.. the wireless thingy.. leeching from it... and turning it into a network
In order for someone to access my home wireless network, I would have to approve his presence first on my router. I remember having to do that after I brought my laptop back from reformatting.... I had to manually type in my laptop's MAC address into the wireless router's admin programme in my family desktop in order to allow it to accept my laptop's presence.
Oh well... like I said, if AVG's parent company doesn't respond soon, I'll simply uninstall it. -
the router, and all that, yes...
your notebook?

the clerk, the people in the other section and the pregnant colleague are talking about childbirth again -
Hmm... I suppose that's a possibility.Originally posted by the Bear:the router, and all that, yes...

from your notebook...
I dunno... I'm a tech n00b at this sort of thing.
Ah what the heck.... I think I'll just uninstall this verdamnn software and save myself all the trouble of waiting and wondering. -
well, hope it works.. at home, the xp PC is still using AVG.. and with wires, i know it's as secure as it's going to get without the dad accepting all kinds of crap his idiot friends send
-
what wrong with that? about the process?Originally posted by the Bear:

i have the same problem with my mum accepting all sorts of nonsense from emails and what webbies........Originally posted by the Bear:well, hope it works.. at home, the xp PC is still using AVG.. and with wires, i know it's as secure as it's going to get without the dad accepting all kinds of crap his idiot friends send

In other news, I am thinking of setting up a network at home...linking SO's and my pc. I don't need any software for that, right?
-
the technical bits, i dunno...
anyway, i wish they don't have to go into the graphic descriptions of placentas and all that -
Okay... my laptop is seriously, seriously screwed up.
I unplugged it from the power socket... I was planning to move my laptop to my bedroom so that I could lie down while working on it.
Then suddenly, just a couple of minutes after I unplugged it, I heard an audible 'crack' sound from the laptop... and the screen went blank.
As it turns out, the battery has malfunctioned once more. My laptop would not be able to detect the battery at all, and as such is totally dependent on AC power.
This has happened before a few months ago... unfortunately, it's not covered under the warranty, and the tech told me that I would have to shell out over $100 for a new battery... which I'm obviously unwilling to spend on.
Ladies and gentlemen.... this just another reason why you should never, EVER buy a Toshiba laptop. -
Morning folks, can anyone advise who is this Crystal Dumpling listed under the 18 Chefs outing?

So this means that this piece of crap has had its RAM chips, DVD-ROM drive, wireless card, and battery all malfunctioning and requiring replacement in its three years of existence.
I can't believe that I spent $2600 on this piece of nonsense. Unfortunately, laptops were a lot more expensive then when I was a freshman, and this was a standard model which I bought through NUS at a subsidised rate.
*me hurls profanities at the laptop* -
