Guaranteed No More Viruses

 If any place of business tells you that they guarantee you will not get a virus they are full of Bologna. The only way that you will never get a virus on your computer is to unplug it from the wall and put it in the closet. I have heard of companies selling this false advertisement. I have seen this type of advertising on various antivirus software programs. Usually they are a cheap junk program and then they try to get you to use junk programs like pc optimizer pro or various updater programs. So always remember to read the fine print and make sure of exactly was their software is removing.
 Some companies are selling the managed type of antivirus software. This type of antivirus software seems to be better for a company rather than an individual computer user. If I were going to go with ANTIVIRUS SOFTWARE for the normal home user I would look into Kaspersky, Bitdefender, Mcafee Internet Security or Norton Internet Security.

 If you are looking for a managed antivirus package I would check out the selection below.
  1. Avast Endpoint Protection Suite
  2. F-Secure Business Suite
  3. Panda Admin Secure For Enterprise
  4. GFI Vipre Antivirus Business
  5. Webroot Secure Anywhere Business Endpoint Protection
Just Remember No Antivirus Software Will Catch 100% Of The Infections, So Always Back Up Your Computer !!!

Windows 10 Is Out


 Well windows 10 came out on the 29th of July and it had it's share of problems. If the windows 10 reserve icon is gone go to this link http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10 There were many people that either could not download it or it would not install properly. As for my self I am running it on a couple of my computers. On one of my computers I did the upgrade through windows updates. It went through the upgrade to windows 10 home with no issues. So far it is working properly. On my second computer I installed it with the media version. I went online and downloaded it where I had a choice to run the upgrade or burn it to a usb flash drive. I just ran the upgrade had had no problems. Both computers had windows 7 home premium and they are having no problems so far.
  I have heard of people that installed the upgrade and various programs or components are not working. I just hope that they are successful at rolling back to their previous operating system. That is why I have stressed that people make a back up of their operating system before going to windows 10. The other advise was to check on various programs amd components with manufacturers to make sure they are no problems or updates that may be necessary. If you have done the upgrade and are having problems I would check the two items I have mentioned.
 It is nothing new that every operating system has bugs in it. That is why we always see many windows updates. I am sure there will be more updates to come. You see there is no way that Microsoft would know that windows 10 will work with every system. All they can do is run it in various scenarios to determine what the results are. Also if your computer had previous problems windows 10 is not going to cure them. Watch out for any local computer store offering to upgrade or install windows 10 for you. Just make sure they are not charging an outrageous price. Also if they are selling a new copy of windows 10 instead of going with the free upgrade.
 Thank You For Reading and have fun with Windows 10.
