stay safe for free

Anti Spy for free.

As far as free Anti Spy ware programs go; these are a few of the best free ones that I have used. Every body likes Spybot search and destroy. It’s an all time favorite! SpybotsHome page.

Another really good one that I use all the time is; AdAware Personal SE.

Microsoft’s Windows Defender is a free program that helps protect your computer against pop-ups, slow performance, and security threats caused by spyware and other unwanted software. It features Real-Time Protection and a monitoring system that recommends actions against spyware when it’s found.

Mal Ware is another kind of “nasty”, it likes to screw up things on you’re machine. Other wise known as or called Trojans. These like to down load things into temporary folders, and any other directory it chooses; things like .dlls and installers.Down loaders will down load on every boot. The installers will install on every boot. Thats why you will see the same things show up, scan after scan. Even after you have removed them. Try this one out for piece of mind.

I guess the bottom line is that you need more than one scanner. Just don’t run them at the same time. It’s fun to see what you can catch after a trip around the Internet.

Have fun and stay safe.

So You want to be a Pirate?

Filed under: GSD — admin @ 7:03 pm

Most people on the computer don’t mean to become pirates. They just want to try a program out first. I’m talking about with no restrictions or limitations; sometimes they only use the program a few times a month. Better safe when spending potentially hundreds of dollars.

You don’t have to break the law to get the soft ware that you need! Read on to find out how.

You need at least 10 gigs free on hard drive; to install Ubunto, a Linux base Operating system.

Ubuntu has soft ware repositorys on the Internet, they are connected to the add and remove programs interface in the menu. Just type the name of the program that you want into the search field and bingo, you get a list of soft ware to pick from.

You can get rid of them just as easy. All you have to do is un-check the box next to the un-wanted program.

I can’t believe all the free soft ware on the Linux based Operating system; including the Operating system! You should be able to find anything that you can imagine, I mean anything!

So give it a try  ( this way you don’t have to be a pirate ) and let me know what you think.
