As our resident Computer Geek ;-)
just thought I'd ask wether you had tested their beta Housecall 6.0 version



I keep getting a 404 message

I've been getting "File not found", which is the same error as yours but I'm just getting that and no other text whatsoever.

Well, it is beta ;)

I used the standard version a few days ago. Everything was OK until I tried to clean then the connection kept on failing.

Like everything free,too many users

Luckily there are other alternatives which is how I came about visiting the trend micro page in the first place.trying to see if the false positive java/AVG



Quite a few different perspectives on which is the best virus scanner(i wasn't aware there were so many) and firewall here

Doesn't make much differnece to me if the author comes across as a pretentious gangster or a well educated toff as long as its readable

The new Beta version gives me all sorts of problems, so I stick to the original.

Very often busy server, the beta version is quicker if you can get on it, but seems to re-load the pattern engine every time you visit, which is strange because it should be pre stored in your cache.

Sounds like a double bladed sword....to save time you might be wasting time
to use it

Thats what I figured so I just the ran the other which worked no problems

All I was after was a decent virus scanner to prove AVG picking up java/byte verify while no alerting me to the initial intrusion was a false positive

This comment sums it up

AVG is no more useful than a wet tissue. Seriously, I'm cleaning all manner of crap out of systems that are "protected" by it. Avast! is a much better alternative for those too cheap to pay.

So did you actually have/find Javabyte verify Deuce. AVG missed it a couple of times for me but I eventually cleaned it out. I'm not sure whether it is a virus.
