Does anyone have experience (positive or negative) with Pivx's Qwik-Fix? &nbsp;It has been &quot;reviewed&quot; only once that I can find -- by Larry Seltzer in Security Watch, &nbsp;PC Magazine, Oct.5, 2004. &nbsp;I have a Windows 2000 SP4 system that is kept up to date with Microsoft patches and is currently protected with Norton AV 2003 and ZoneAlarm Pro 5.1. &nbsp;Of more concern, however, is an old Windows 95a system, since Microsoft, NAV, and ZAP no longer support that OS. &nbsp;The latter is currently protected by NOD32 (anti-virus) and by a very old version of ZoneAlarm (2.6.362). &nbsp;Both systems are connected to a cable modem through a Linksys router (NAT only). &nbsp;Any advice on Qwik-Fix (or other recommended security for Windows 95a) would be greatly appreciated. &nbsp;I apologize in advance if this is not an appropriate question for EE.

Does anyone have experience (positive or negative) with Pivx's Qwik-Fix?  It has been "reviewed" only once that I can find -- by Larry Seltzer in Security Watch,  PC Magazine, Oct.5, 2004.

Qwik-Fix -- Recommended for Windows 95 and/or for Windows 2000?

Operating system security (OS security) is the process of ensuring OS integrity, confidentiality and availability. OS security refers to specified steps or measures used to protect the OS from threats, viruses, worms, malware or remote hacker intrusions. OS security encompasses all preventive-control techniques, which safeguard any computer assets capable of being stolen, edited or deleted if OS security is compromised, including authentication, passwords and threats to systems and programs.
