I found KAV to be the best one by far..though i don't use it
I never liked AVG, it never worked properly for me..
I don't have any on my (already slow) system but i'm fairly aware of what i download/use to avoid virus. ;p

Tried HijackThis?
Use it to create a log and look for some suspicious files or post it here.. someone might be able to help you out. If it really is a virus, it looks like some sort of malware or spyware. Usually, Antiviri don't detect them.

ps: HijackThis is one of the way to find this out... there may still be virus/*ware even if there is nothing suspicious in it's logs.

The game looks simple and has a odd sense of style ..
but the game play is good.. I don't play much BH but i liked this one.. (too much madness )
I like the way those "cells" rotate on hit.
maybe some blur effect would help with the visual part
Music is awesome.. i love it.

Keep up the good work!

Freebasic / Re: What editor are you using?

« on: September 15, 2008 »

Geany is linux thingy XD 
though it has a GTK based windows version..
It's good for linux... though i'd prefer Kate
and if you want a general code editor, Notepad++ seems best choice

Freebasic / Re: What editor are you using?

« on: September 13, 2008 »

I've used Fbide and FBEdit both
and personally, I liked simplicity of Fbide and Functionality of FBEdit

FBEdit has all the stuff i need and is updated regularly..
Fbide hasn't been updated regularly..Though a new one is under progress
Till then I'll keep using FBEdit..
