Guess i'm always a sucker to try something new, even when i don't have to. Today i picked up a new AV program WallyMart was peddling for W2G/XP named "Win(ultra)Anti-Virus". Their homesite is at http://www.wincleaner.com, maybe up in Canada, maybe not. At any rate, i thought i'd try it on a W2G box, it installed like a rocket and then locked up the system tighter than a drum. Went up to the website, and they just happened to mention that if you have any CD-R/W software it won't work (actually, they said it conflicts with one brand, but i have another brand, so it's *all* brands of CD-R/W that it conflicts with). They suggest you have to unload your CD-R/W software, and they're working on their compatability problem and if they ever get it fixed they'll post the update on their website for you to download. The *problem* seems to be, Your computer won't even boot to the W2G screen, you have to do the F8 thing, go in and manually edit their notations out of all your system registries, then delete their program files to even get W2G to boot. Their update from v-6.07 to 6.08 won't download unless their program is working, so now, let's see, just how are they going to fix thier running program when it won't allow the system to run?
It'll be a real cold day in Hades when i unload my CD-R/W software just so some two-bit AV program can run! I'll just reinstall my other one that already worked.
Just thought some of our members may run across this product, maybe you could be saved some time-consuming problems by passing it up. Or at least going to their website, checking the FAQ's for conflicts with your other software and OS before you load the product.
Best Regards. :

Sorry, Preep, i had the comma inside the URL tag Works now. The prog hype on bells & whistles sounds like it would be fairly decent..... if it worked!
