« on: November 19, 2012, 11:05:06 AM »would a software firewall be good enough?? These chinese hackers must do ip scans all day or something..Maybe you can just put two nics into a cheap pc and download a free linux based firewall on it, then put the Server on the inside network.
Will look into cloud storage..

Put on a public IP and you'll get hack attempts from China, right away. So put it behind a firewall for safe keeping okay.

Should try sophos. It's pretty bad too. Sophos is a memory hog and will slow down your pc to a crawl. Then when you try to remove it. IT doesn't completely remove itself so you can't install another antivirus on your system. Luckily, revo uninstaller can get rid of it.

and dont forget, certain viruses can cause your system to crash too. I recently got a rootkit onto my wife's laptop and it kept bluescreening.

If you have a dell, try their hardware diagnostic tests to see if it's hardware. I think it's F12 or maybe F2 at start up.
