I don't mean to stop you from migrating to Linux. I'm just curious of what exactly caused your virus problems? For the last 5 years, I haven't run into a single malware problem. With that question, I hope you'll find Linux a pleasant experience (as did I). Just a note of advice: use...

Hi, I tried removing Joomla 1.6 using Softaculous but was twice suspended due to high resources usage. Seems I only have 1 warning allowance left just for using host-provided software to remove something. I'm uncertain if I'm meant to uninstall Joomla manually. If anyone can help me with this...

My laptop is for productive work so Windows alone is all I need. I dual boot Windows and PCLOS on desktop, though. :P

You may want to include Windows Phone (which is not Windows Mobile) in the poll. :P

But Win 8, as stated, will be just as demanding as or even lighter than Win 7 in terms of system specs requirement. Why should he/she upgrade to the latest i7 to run Windows 8 while the Core 2 Duo equivalent is already sufficient?

I love playing with Linux but I'm stuck on Windows because of two things: - Microsoft Office which LibreOffice is not yet fully compatible with. MS Office is almost a must for my study and work. - Games which have no Linux versions. And the third: - My laptop came with genuine Windows 7. I do...

foobar2000. I could use Zune but it uses 10 times as much memory as foobar2000. I mean, I just want something to play music in the background. 13K memory with foobar looks like a sweet deal. :)

Hopefully the devs will figure this out soon. The connection to my forum is pretty unstable.

Firefox 4 is faster than Firefox 3.6 due to the addition of an improved JS engine and hardware acceleration support. In this release, Mozilla did not prioritise speed but stability and compatibility and new technologies seen in Internet Explorer 9. Their release cycle has also been fed steroid...

As of 8:24pm AEST, my forum appears to be back to normal.

Thanks for the conversation by the way. I noticed that http://www.siteadvisor.com/sites/x10.bz shows that the owner comment is blank. I'm unsure if I should trouble the admin to leave a comment there and see if anything will change. I'll consider your suggestions. Either of them seems to be...

G'day and thank you for the welcome. :)

Ah, I see. Sorry about the misunderstanding. I don't use their products but many others do and that seriously affects the traffic and userbase of my forum. For instance, my cousin in the USA refused to enter the forum because of the warning from her TrendMicro suite. It's not a trivial matter.

@MeastroFX1: By "avoid using them", you mean the free x10 domains, right? @Livewire: Thanks for the response. At least I know x10hosting has acted. I submitted a request for rating review also. Haven't got a reply since.

I usually rely on Web of Trust (WoT) for my surfing habit. The domain x10.bz came up clean in their reputation database. However, the x10.bz domain has been blacklisted by at least a few well-known web safety product providers including McAfee and TrendMicro. Users of their security software...
