19:06:28 <kAlug> It's quiet here (as always).
19:06:41 <JohnTHaller> It happens :)
19:07:19 <Gizmokid2005> JohnTHaller: figure out the -c switch for KVIrc I see? :)
19:07:34 <JohnTHaller> Indeed. I was pointing it to the wrong directory. Derp
19:07:40 <JohnTHaller> settings, instead of settings\Settings
19:07:46 <Gizmokid2005> that'll do it.
19:08:01 <JohnTHaller> hence it prompting for initial setup

19:13:45 <Gizmokid2005> yup
19:13:48 <Gizmokid2005> but the -n caused that too
19:19:35 <JohnTHaller> Did that change in 4.2? Because the custom launcher from 4.0.4 Rev 2 was using -n even though the comment above said -c
19:19:46 <Gizmokid2005> it wasn't actually using -n
19:19:54 <Gizmokid2005> I think it got changed at some point but was never compiled that way

19:52:45 <pa_7362> help
19:54:45 <gluxon> pa_7362: Hi, what's the problem?
19:54:45 <pa_7362> @johnthaller
19:54:56 <JohnTHaller> yes?
19:56:06 <pa_7362> hi john can you tell me if i browse internet from usb drive , could my main c drive catch a virus from net or just the usb drive
19:57:04 <JohnTHaller> both can
19:57:14 <JohnTHaller> Keep your browser and plugins up to date and you're ok, though
19:57:25 <JohnTHaller> The only way to fully isolate it is to run it inside a virtual machine
19:57:47 <pa_7362> so were would i install virus gaurd on both drives
19:58:06 <gluxon> JohnTHaller: Going deeper, you're still vulnerable if there's an exploit targeted at that virtual machine.
19:58:29 <JohnTHaller> You only need a single antivirus running
20:00:22 <pa_7362> ok, thanks what is an exploit at virtual machine
20:00:56 <JohnTHaller> Some malware will actually check to see if it is running in a VM and attempt to break out of it to infect the host operating system. It's a bit more rare (and less likely if you have your VM up to date).
20:01:59 <gluxon> That's a bit more technical, and much less likely to happen than holes/exploits in your Anti-Virus.
20:02:14 <JohnTHaller> Quite true
20:02:52 <pa_7362> can you recommend a virtual machine, i would like to take as much care as possible
20:02:54 <gluxon> pa_7362: Basically, exploits/holes in software are patched pretty quickly when they're found. You're generally safe when all your software is up to date.
20:03:13 <JohnTHaller> Alright, must run. Gotta write this week's http://www.socialnewsmedia.net/ episode
20:04:15 <gluxon> JohnTHaller: Awesome, I have to check that site out sometime. :)
20:04:31 <gluxon> pa_7362: A virtual machine is software that lets you run an Operating System on your operating system.
20:04:54 *** JohnTHaller has parted #portableapps (None)
20:04:56 <gluxon> Screenshot of Vista running on top of XP -> http://cache.gawkerassets.com/assets/images/17/2011/11/medium_79b83d83a60337ba2cd552868183e9df.jpg
20:05:45 <gluxon> It's used for testing, and generally not for typical use.
20:06:14 <pa_7362> +gluxon yes i think i have had one before, cant rember which one can you recommend and are they win 7 comatible
20:06:57 <gluxon> Well, like I said, it's not for normal everyday use, since running 2 operating system's make your computer run at half speed for both.
20:07:10 <gluxon> I'm a personal fan of VirtualBox -> https://www.virtualbox.org/
20:07:29 <gluxon> But a lot of people like the payware Parallels -> http://www.parallels.com/
20:08:53 <pa_7362> +gluxon yes thats the one i had virtual box, it wouldnt be every day use just a quick browse thing,
20:09:10 <pa_7362> just want extra security :O)
20:09:19 <gluxon> Yep. We all want security ;)
20:09:51 <gluxon> I personally use Linux, with Firefox and NoScript.
20:09:59 <gluxon> Never had a virus problem :)
20:11:21 <pa_7362> +gluxon i dont know if this is allowed but i dont know how virus programes run, but if a virus needs to find a c drive cant we use disk part to hide the c drive
20:12:00 <gluxon> That's wouldn't work without blocking your own access from the C: drive.
20:12:40 <gluxon> Virus's are treated exactly the same as any other software (Chrome, Firefox, Word).
20:13:20 <gluxon> The problem is that virus's like to mess with registry settings and make it more difficult for the user to use their computer.
20:14:12 <pa_7362> ok just a thought, thanks for all the info from you and john, thanks :O)
20:14:34 <gluxon> Yep, we're always glad to help. :)
20:15:22 <pa_7362> +gluxon on those ready boost usb sticks is it posible to instal the android system as well ?
20:19:22 <gluxon> pa_7362: Android to USB boot?
20:20:12 <gluxon> As in boot from an Android OS from a flash drive instead of HD?
20:20:54 <pa_7362> +gluxon yes i thought if i installed portable apps, i could instal android as our netbooks can run android so we can install apps as well
20:22:00 <gluxon> Well, ReadyBoost is a Windows-only feature. It essentially uses flash drives (or any media drive) as a location for storing cache, to speed up your Computer.
20:22:44 <pa_7362> ok so i probably need a seperate usb stick right ?
20:22:48 <gluxon> PortableApps.com is also currently Windows-only software, and only runs on Mac OS X and Linux with special software (Wine). It won't run on Android.
20:24:49 <gluxon> Android is targeted at mobile devices like Tablets and Phones. Some third-parties have ported Android to netvertibles (touch screen laptops), but not really for common PC's.
20:26:46 <pa_7362> yeah its ok i have all the instructions to make it a bootable usb i have a netbook win 7 that is android compatible, i was just trying to see if i can put it on one usb stick :O) its ok i will figure it out thanks for your once again
