But can you install 2 antivirus on one laptop. A definate “YES” except some antivirus from Norton &  McAfee.

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.

I was just checking a friend’s newly bought Dell notebook recently when I saw something which actually excites me.

There was this software called “LoJack for Laptop” on my friend’s notebook.

For all we know, “Lojack” is a company which delivers vehicle recovery system, which simply means if your car is stolen … the authorities will be able to track and recover the stolen or missing vehicle via their LoJack systems.

But what does it all got to do with notebooks.

After doing some research, I found out that Dell computers is the only company that implements LoJack for Laptops.

It means that a software is implant in the notebook and if there is a possibility that notebook is being stolen or lost …. Dell can actually traced the whereabout of the notebook via the internet.

Check out this video below for a better explaination ….. (This video is brought to you courtesy of Dell Computers)

As I always say …. “Keep your professional boxes safe and secure” (with or without LoJack)…… The notebook is your jewel….

Hi …..

After a whole week of mice reviews and articles, I think some of my viewers will be thinking in their mind…. “Izzy no more mice…..

Well not to worry…. Me and Mice no more ….. unless there’s new things about them which I have to post about.

Anyway being a safety conscious guy that I am, I recently help out a cousin of mine on safeguarding his notebook data.

I’ll be doing a review on this software “Encrypt On Click”, so read further……..
