Sophos has an answer.

Scan your PC for viruses, spyware, adware, Tribbles and zero-day threats - Sophos Klingon Anti-Virus

Thanx...
I'll throw this on for some testing this evening.

P.S. There's a free rootkit tool on the bottom of the page as well.

Reason for Edit: forgot the word tool

evilfantasy · « **Reply #3 on:** May 24, 2009, 02:55:29 PM »

Yea I have a canned speech for their rootkit scan since it creates a log. Haven't used it in any forums yet.

Log location %temp%\sarscan.log

weird, I just got a message, that went something along the lines of, "your PC will be assimilated. It's technological and asthetic prowess will probably be modified slightly from the original versions to fit into the parcel being sent. Oh, and resistance is futile, blah blah blah, something about peanut butter..... a dead klingon .... inside out sarcophagus .... broomstick ... ytterbium ...

Should add a Q Nagging feature to it, he can just instantly crash your computer at will and nag to you why you should of updated the definitons

the prorgram website said program will last only 30 space days before you have to really jump onto the enterprise so it's not good ....

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #11 on:** May 28, 2009, 10:09:27 AM »

so the real question is- how long is a space day? What is it's definition? perhaps it is also vaguely related to peanuts or their butter?

Wait! Your Feringi!

And BC,
Space Days are just Earth Days...they are not related in any way to peanut butter, nor jam, nor Jelly, not even Billy Mays

I thought that you were being sarcastic I will have to watch out for that. I know though that I have sound effects from the orginal series thought that it be a post like for wallpaper or something.

I have a feeling that Nathan, BC_Programmer and maybe CBMatt could carry on a decent conversation in a variety of outer-limits languages

BC_Programmer · « **Reply #18 on:** May 31, 2009, 11:40:48 PM »

Not me. the only word I know is, "putuk" or whatever it is. For some reason communicating in a fictional language created as part of a fictional race that, despite evolving thousands of lightyears from earth, happen to have the same basic outward appearance as humans. Same with the star streaks when they are going at say Warp 2. if that's twice the speed of light (pretending for the moment that going faster then it is even possible) why is it possible for them to cover the distance of light-years in days when it should take months?

macdad- · « **Reply #19 on:** June 01, 2009, 07:53:14 AM »

Gene Roddenberry wanted them to be on a different world(or section) of the galaxy within a week...Thats why they have Warp 8

That just leaves Chris then and I know he knows some strange language. Just can't remember which one.

I have no clue, the thing is that there are a few basic rules to it, so if there are proper nounds or anything in that there not to supposed to be translated its rather confusing.

is sophos antivirus any good then? Sophos, the parents of the klingon scanner. I currently have AVG free on my pc, it serves me fine as for now. I don't have a problem yet and kaspersky's free online scan has confirmed that AVG has been doing its job.

But sophos is a paid AV, however I can get it free from my university's computer services website (my school's computer labs are using it and I have trust that my school knows what it's doing about being secure on computers)

Should I get sophos or should I just stick with AVG? Used to be using AVAST but since I the last time I reformatted my pc. I already had AVG on my flash drive so I used it instead and have not had issues yet.

evilfantasy · « **Reply #29 on:** June 05, 2009, 04:58:17 PM »

I don't see any more or less infections from Sophos then I do any other. It did well in the AV-Tests. http://www.virusbtn.com/news/2008/09_02

2x3i5x · « **Reply #30 on:** June 05, 2009, 05:13:13 PM »

so I probably should just leave AVG alone? Since it's doing okay and sophos is about on par?

evilfantasy · « **Reply #31 on:** June 05, 2009, 05:15:53 PM »

Honestly any antivirus is only as good as the person using it. It wouldn't hurt to try it out since it's free. You can always go back to AVG if you don't like it.

squall_01 · « **Reply #32 on:** June 09, 2009, 05:21:12 PM »

You'll find that its only good for the average user.

I think its just a language add-on.
