I use Chrome or Dragon, not Iron. Iron is lacking security updates.

InsanityBit has something more to say about Iron:

NB: two "real-time" antmalware programs running simultaneously could slow each other down and cause conflicts, ( like two security guards chasing each other, each mistaking the other for an intruder ). Old fact is that two active antivirus can't live in same computer, but times can change...

Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit Beta

I downloaded and ran latest free Malwarebytes Anti-Rootkit Beta in my Windows machine some days ago. Mbar told that there is probably some rootkit activity because of some appinitdll's and asked permission to remove them. After scan I have to remove 'betterinstaller.exe' which was malware according ...

Slimboat works in Precise

No more black screens and hard boots after trying to start Slimboat. Yes, I got Slimboat-1.1.11 to work in Precise-5.4.1.1. Only two packages was needed: libgstreamer0.10-0_0.10.28-1_i386.deb and libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-0_0.10.28-1_i386.deb, 622KB and 337KB. http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/i3...

Warning! MacPup is an exception. Ubuntu Slimboat does not start on Slacko, Racy or Precise. I also tried it on Linux Mint: no problem, deb installs and Slimboat plays well. So, for most Puppies Slimboat browser needs some compiling effort to be an lightweight alternative for old machines.

QtWeb is IIRC rather independent of Nokia. SlimBrowser sounds useful, once they finish polishing it. :D Yes, maybe I exaggerate when I said that Slims are close together. SlimBoat can be described early alpha, while SlimBrowser is super stable. SlimBrowser is only browser which can open and play Si...

I have tried earlier other QtWebkit browser, Nokia QtWeb, but QtWeb had problems to save browser settings or bookmarks and so on. SlimBoat i...

What the difference between SlimBoat and SlimBrowser? FlashPeak Inc. is developer of both Slims, but SlimBrowser uses Internet Explorer's proprietary Trident layout engine, and SlimBoat uses open source Webkit layout engine. SlimBrowser is over ten years old veteran but SlimBoat is a newcomer. Slim...

I have tried many linux and windows music file players in Puppy, but always I'm back using Foobar2000 with wine. It can't play or rip cd's in Puppy, but it runs very lightly and plays mp3's, flac's, ogg's, m4a's... and converts and tags them, for example m4a's to mp3's. There is a lot of additional ...
