Fishmanoz Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Just briefly back on the secondary topic AV discussion, I'm surprised no one has even mentioned our resident professional AC's strong recommendation - 3 free products which will protect you without trying to take over your PC. See more on his separate site in the top locked thread in the forum. And on intrusive AV packages, the Trend package I use (doesn't seem to be used much in UK) had been behaving itself until the last major update, then I had to list RM as an exception for the first time. Its next trick was when I just tried to send about 80 blind copies of an email to members of a group I am part of, in fact a number of such emails to reach all of them. It's never been a problem before as long as I haven't gone over 100 addressees, which is the limit Outlook allows, and Outlook tells you if you breach that. Trend decided it would block my emails with no advice it was doing so, just message fails emails back to me. Do you think I can find any info about what it will and will not allow, how I can tell it to go jump in this instance, and how many people got or did not get my messages, because I know some did. Don't like paying good money to get mucked about this way. Apologies TWD, back on topic now. Cannot understand how your resource.mdb file didn't contain all of your locos, unless it was an earlier version you had saved, or you hadn't actually saved your latest via an orderly shutdown of RM. there simply doesn't seem to be anywhere else RM saves such info so it must be in that file.

Teedoubleudee Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 No worries Fishy, I'm sorted now. Next big challenge is to update my newly aquired Elite to 1.42 from 1.3. reading posts on this forum I think I'll save that for another day!

Yelrow Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Fishy, it was my understanding that teed had Augustus system, that let the virus through, john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chrissaf Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Second that John, 6th post down on page 1 is TWDs statement about AV used...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teedoubleudee Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 That's correct. I have the same setup on 3 laptops and 1 desktop PC. Unless the blighter was there before I installed them, but then it should have been picked up on the initial scans I would have thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yelrow Posted June 13, 2015 Share Posted June 13, 2015 Chissaf, thanks, thought i had arrived at my dotage. Teed, high, i gave you the date Norton, neutralised it, was some time ago. May be it was lying in wait. Does Augustus system, show what viruses it has found and fixed, like mine does. It does give piece of mind. Have you had to clean all 4 machines, if so, bet you were popular. My norton is on 3 machines also, but due to Railway location, very infrequent internet connection, as it means moving it. john Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teedoubleudee Posted June 13, 2015 Author Share Posted June 13, 2015 Hi John, Luckily the other 3 not affected though on same wireless network. I also have a NAS on the same network which I haven't checked yet. Yes, the software tells you the files or settings it doesn't like before you tell it to delete them.
