lol I just posted something along these lines, this morning I managed to get around the bastard anti-crack system and it gave me blue screen of death, I had to reformat, I tried installing twice this evening, anti-crack system got me....it's a faggit, so yeah people free antivirus' references would be nice please

im downloading mcafee anti virus now will let u know if its any good

i should imagine its good the college use it on there servers and on all the other pc's

 

[Pyraine]

the only problem I see, is it's aswell known as Norton, so may have the same anti-crack security procedures, but yes, if it's any good please keep me updated

 

[Rampage]

not had one prob so far with Mcafee

no crack needed for it

get it from http://www.suprnova.org/
torent name: McAfee Anti virus v7 00 EXE

you will need a program such as torrent sotrm to d\l it

 

[Emotionless]

mcafee is good for beginners, easy setup and not alot of configuring needed. with the proper set up norton is sufficiently better than mcafee and norton isn't hard to crack.. you just need to do the registering offline (so it doesnt connect to symantec servers) and the keygen will generate the phone code for you. i did it not long ago, took me 2 mins.

 

[MiloFoxburr]

yeah the phone code one works great

 

[Pyraine]

you talking about Norton 2004? how can you do it offline?

 

[Emotionless]

Norton 2004 pro edition, installing it is the easy bit, then u have to register. all u do is disconnect ur net, and when it tries to connect to symantec just leave it, itll try like 3 times then u can do it "by phone". it gives you a phone code to quote when you ring them, what you do is you find a keygen where u can enter that code, and itll spit out another code you put in the boxes and voila, available til 2005 with liveupdate.

 

[MiloFoxburr]

yeah what emotionless says make sure ur not connected to the net before u do it

 

[Pyraine]

thanks very much for the help, *tries* - last time it worked though I got blue screen of death, let's hope for the best

If you're at college you probably spend over £40 a week on booze.

Stay sober for a week, and you can buy it.

[Viola A.I.]

Don't use Norton. He is a virus. If you do not understand why its called Norton and the irony involved...simply...kiss sh1t.
