for rogers security suite users.....

[tboy]

This might belong in the tech area but I thought this would be seen by more.

I installed rogers protection (it is done by kaspersky) and thought all is well. I've been having some issues with internet explorer recently so during one of the error reporting situations microsoft wrote that it could be caused by adware.

So I downloaded adaware and then thought, hey, rogers is supposed to have a spywhere detector blocker in the suite. Sure enough it does and it is turned on.

After adaware ran I found 313 objects that rogers didn't pick up.

So, moral of the story is if you're running Rogers Protection, you might want to get adaware or similar......seems rogers isn't picking up a LOT of spyware.......

I have AVG free antivirus, AdAware and Spybot. I also run FireFox 99% of the time

Never had any issues with virii or spyware *knocks on wood*

Of the 313 objects, how many were just cookies?

I dunno, but some were adserv, and a whole bunch were tracking cookies....and tracking cookies are sending your browsing patterns somewhere (I think that is what they do if memory serves). I don't know about you but I don't want anyone knowing what pages I surf....

LOL...really eh

Rogers is probably spying on you now after installing their crap

Actually, it isn't rogers per se, it is really Kaspersky in disguise. Rogers used to provide Norton but I think too many people bitched about it being a resource hog......

I wonder what if Rogers will be promoting "Clean Sweep" as an extra add on. Just to ensure your computer is clean.

Just a thought.

I doubt it, rogers gives you the barest minimum they possibly can.....
