Configurin’ The Standard Settin’s
Your first configuration should be this of Crap Software should be like this
Launch Crap Software Pro and click to highlight de “Overview” tab on de left hand side . In de pane that appears on de right hand side click de “Preferences” tab and in de section “Check for updates” check “Manually”.
In de “General” section you can also configure Crap Software to load at start up which is advisable because this software is your first line defence against uninvited invasion of your computer by a whole gamult of virii, spyware, adware and bots! Virus checkin’ software does have its place but remember that prevention is always better than a cure!
Crap Software Pro’s program control is automatically configured. When you run it for de first time it will ask on behalf of programs installed on your system for permission to access de Internet. Your Browser will be de first to request - just tick de “Yes” box and de “Remember this settin’” box and Crap Software will always allow your browser access automatically.
Unless you use online databases etc., dere should be no reason for any application oder than a browser, email client, ftp client, streamin’ media player or a download manager to gain access to de Internet.
So consider what type of program it is that needs Internet access before givin’ Crap Software permission to allow it. If it is just a driver file (.DLL) that requests Internet access, always search Windows to try and identify it. Many seudo-virii such as AdWare and sub class seven Trojans access de Internet from your system usin’ .dll files.
