Bloo Loo Posted August 25, 2010 Share Posted August 25, 2010 Can anyone help with this software problem my friend is experiencing? Eighteen months ago he upgraded to Girlfriend 1.0 from Drinking Mates 4.2 which he'd used for years without any trouble. However, there are apparently conflicts between these two products and the only solution was to try and run Girlfriend 1.0 with the sound turned off. To make matters worse, Girlfriend 1.0 is also incompatible with several other applications, such as Lads Night Out 3.1, Football 2 and Playboy 6.1. Successive versions of Girlfriend proved no better. A shareware beta-program, Party Girl 2.1 had many bugs and left a virus in his system, forcing him to shut down completely for several weeks. Eventually he tried to run Girlfriend 1.2 and Girlfriend 1.0 at the same time, only to discover that when these two systems detected each other they caused severe damage to all his hardware. Sensing a way out, he upgraded to Fiancée 1.0 only to discover that ..... this product has to be upgraded to Wife 1.0. He did this largely because, whilst Wife 1.0 uses up all available resources, it does come bundled with FreeSex Plus and Cleanhouse 2000. However my friend discovered that Wife 1.0 can be very unstable and costly to run. For example, any mistakes he made were automatically stored in Wife 1.0's memory and could not be deleted, they then resurfaced months later. Wife 1.0 also has an automatic Diary Explorer and E-mail porn filter, and can, without warning, launch Photostrop and Whingezip. These latter products have no helpfiles and he has to try and guess the problem himself. Additional costly problems are that the Wife 1.0 bundle that came with the original system needs updating regularly, requiring Shoe Shop Browser Pro for new attachments and Hairstyle Express needs to be reinstalled every other week. It also conflicted with some of the new games he wanted to try, stating that they are an illegal operation. When Wife 1.0 attaches itself to his Audi TT programme it often crashes or runs the system dry. Wife 1.0 also has a rather annoying pop-up called Mother-in-Law, which can't be turned off. Recently he's been tempted to try Mistress 2000, but there could be problems, if Wife 1.0 detects the presence of Mistress 2000 it will delete all MS Money files before un-installing itself. Tough one? Any suggestions??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Bart' Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 RUBBISH, USE MALWAREBYTES OR SAS INSTEAD BOTH FREE Malwarebytes full version £16.99. Activating the full version unlocks realtime protection, scheduled scanning, and scheduled updating. For consumers and personal use, it is a one time fee of $24.95. I have the full version acquired (ahem, *cough*) via an unauthorized source. I can highly recommend the real-time protection, even though it does block some of the places like StageVu where movies can be found. It can be switched on and off though.

rolf Posted August 26, 2010 Share Posted August 26, 2010 I like to keep 5 year old versions of software. They run so much faster than the latest bloated versions. Also get these: Daemon Tools (free) Sandboxie (free) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
guitarman001 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 You pay for AVG? I've heard AVast is good. For protection I have comodo firewall and anti-virus suite, spybot (bit annoying) and malware malbytes. What do you reckon? CCcleaner? I refuse to pay for software like this!
