I'm considering changing my domain name

I have had "antisource.com" registered for about 2 years now. Work on the site has been off and on - mostly off. I just got a new host for it so there's nothing to look at right now.

The site is about Antiviruses, email security, spam, viruses/trojans/worms/spyware - hence the name antisource. On more than one occasion I have gotten comments that it sounds like it's a site again opensource. :D

So should I keep that name - or go with something else? Any ideas/suggestions?

Damn I just checked and viruscop.net was deleted as of 4/22 but someone already snagged it!

New name. I saw the anti-source part and immediately figured it had something to do with open-source.


Try like, avsolutions, virussolutions, avtech, avkiller...



but thinking about it, av stuff may be taken by audio-video persons. :(

Although antisource is not in the dictionary, I have seen it refered to by engineers a few times - meaning an opposite effect to null out the original. Kind of like 180 degrees out of phase.

VIRPLEX.org

or

VIRGE.org

or maybe just use my already registered "sagalore.com"? :shrug;

Okay this is my last revival of this thread, promise. :)

Do I a.) stick with - or b.) pick something else.

The theme is spam, viruses, and spyware. Whereas many security sites focus on expensive firewalls, ids, authentication, encryption, etc. my site (which is offline right now) looks at the stuff us Systems Administrators have to deal with on a daily basis. In fact, it is my opinion that email/web security is a much higher piority because they are the highest resources used, and the easiest to break into.

Users need port 80 and 25. All the security in the world, and a single email worm can bring down an entire network - or a visit to a website can install spyware that steals passwords, to bypass all that network security.

So - back to the topic - what domain name matches that theme?

I originally chose - - ---
