Hello everybody,
For a few weeks, GrimeFighter has alerted me that several useless software were installed on my machine, which was coherent with the reduced capacity of it and this is the reason why I bought GrimeFighter (1 GB mem, 1596 Mhz proc, 149 GB disk with 35.7 GB free, Windows XP SP3).
But it only alerted me, and then reproached me for not having the license.
Yesterday, after I verified about the license, I insisted some more. I then discovered the firewall (outside Avast Internet Security) was blocking it.
I corrected this, and relaunched GrimeFighter. Then, it took twenty four hours (24 : the same time the day after) to close the session, and when restarting proposed me the choice between GrimeFighter and Windows.
I launched GrimeFighter, a few seconds later I saw the wifi lighting on, so I stopped it as I presumed this was an error. At the end of the progression bar it took some time, and then told me it could not work as it did not have any network access. Well then, why not informing me the network access was needed, at first ?
The UI proposed to try again, but this failed. Some peripherals only work if they are connected when starting the system ?
After that I restarted Windows (was not proposed GrimeFighter any more), and discovered I could not do another test immediately, as GrimeFighter only launches itself once per day (or you can select a longer interval).
Well, I shall try and find a 24 hours period where I can do without my machine, and launch that again, and let the wifi on.
After this first test, I went wondering stupid questions :
What is the reach of the wifi, about 800 meters ? Are you sure there is an Avast server in that distance from where I live ? And ... Then I realized it was a stupid question.
Well then, I shall tell you what it gives without disconnecting the wifi, and I hope the preparation will be quicker that time.
I presume the Ethernet connection is useless, anyway on Windows XP the box needs to be installed.
