Free and personal for home use anti-virus are a plenty on the internet.

It is too many till one will get confused on which one to choose. That happens when my working colleague ask me the very same question this morning.

I can understand freebies on a tight budget, cause even the paid one aren’t 100% secure (let me tell you that).

Anyway she told me that she’s not into the yearly subscription stuff ….. so I put out these recommendations.

This post will be targeted for users who to use “free for personal use only” anti-virus. Always remember an anti-virus is always the last line of defense (the firewall is front line).

There are a couple of anti-virus which I experimented but these are the ones that give me good protection for your laptops.

1. Avast Home Edition
2. AVG Free Edition
3. Avira AntiVir Personal
4. PC Tools ThreatFire
5. Bit Defender Free Edition
6. Komodo Anti-VirusTrust
   

Trust me I’ve experimented on all of  them. Check them out.

In any case, maybe it’s just me, I encountered numerous issues, like system freezes …. unable to read card drivers, etc while using the system.

Lets check out the advantages and disadvantages (or should I say problems) that I’ve encountered.

When come to Linux in particular, most people tend to stay away from the predicament that it might not be able to be installed on a notebook.

Though most people are quite satisfied with their ultra buggy Microsoft Windows operating system, this post could be a breakaway for the who want feel the new life without Windows.

Alexander Grim has complied great videos and I’ll be sharing them to you via this post in getting yourself started with the installation of Ubuntu Linux on a Dell Inspirion notebook.

I been experimenting a few softwares recently on my Lenovo Y300 notebook and there’s suddenly a need for me to try out this software.

Why the urge you wonder?

Well, I’ve been looking around for Norton Utilities that actually supports Windows Vista, however, there isn’t any yet.

The highlight of this has always been Windoctor, it has been my companion for years and when I check at Symantec’s site for the next Windoctor, the newest thing that they can provide me is Norton 360.

That’s down and I’m not talking about System Of A Down ….

Norton 360 does not include Norton Utilities, especially Windoctor.

I’ve been browsing a lot of sites and came across TuneUp Utilities 2007!

Ever get that feeling when you have so much data and suddenly one day your desktop pc or notebook computer fails to respond.

It sucks …… down on upside (reminds me of the last Soundgarden album).

Well now, we have the luxury of Knoppix Live, a linux distribution which can be a saviour to your problem.
