If anyone wants winrar 3.51 and can't retrieve the downloads, try this:


Check post 180 at http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.ph...=482722&st=165
for the key. It's the same that I downloaded from the winrar site this morning.
http://www.win-rar.com/bestoverallutility/download.php (I think, it appears dead now)

Everybody seems to get the same key. (When the system works )
Download winrar 3.51 from : http://www.rarlabs.com/rar/wrar351.exe

Install winrar 351 and drag the rarkey.rar file into an open winrar window and it should self install the key. It did for me.

Dude you got me a virus

this is a good reg cleaner, but as usuall, make sure you don't delete reg entries that you need.

I think COMODO Pro firewall deserves a mention since it is the best firewall out there and its 100% free forever.

Ive used this firewall for over a year now and not one problem have I had and now the new updated version comes with lots of features like `active processes`amongst other things and with its application monitor its ny on impossible for anything to get past you with this firewall

Remove the colon at the end of the link as I did in your quote and it will work. Thanks for the post and the good word. I had this link already and planned to try it.

And, I do not recommend running RegScrub unless you are the adventurous type!

I don't disagree with you about Comodo - however, when I tried to upgrade to the new Version 3, I had utter chaos. Many people have experienced serious problems besides me. The version I had been running never caused me any problems - but the new installation was nothing but confusion and pc horror to me. Finally, after a few hours undoing what it did to my pc, was I able to get it running again - thanks to System Restore, Safe Mode, etc. Unless you are somewhat experienced, I don't recommend it until they get some of the "bugs" worked out. I am not bad-mouthing Comodo, it's just that I am not alone having problems with Version 3 - just check the forums out on the Net and you will see many people with problems when they try to install it.

You might check the posts in All Other Software - under "Help with Comodo Firewall".
