My Antivirus Review

Well one of my co-workers brought this new anti-virus to my attention the other day and she said it was a small download, very small footprint on the system but was several times more powerful than the current virus protection.

For the heck of it I told her sure I’d give it a try and removed symantec endpoint from my laptop and installed Vipre and have to say wow, I’m very impressed my memory utilization dropped by over 200mb right off the bat and my system’s performance once again was nice and fast.  While working thoughout the day I noticed that vipre popped up and said it was performing a scan and to be honest if it hadn’t said something I would have never noticed.

Now this antivirus isn’t free but if you had the option of spending 60.00 or so for symantec/trend micro/etc I’d rather spend 29.00 for this any day!

You can click on this banner below and take a look, I promise it will be very worth your time to dump that bloated anti-virus software that only protects you (maybe) after you get the virus.

Subaru Sign LED Project

Well i bought a led sign off ebay that says subaru and it was really nice until the bulb burned out, haven’t found another so I replaced the bulb with LED’s and though I’d share.  Wired individually I installed 6 5mm blue led’s with a 15 volt 1.2 amp power source.

Windows 7 RC Download

The wait is over folks, Microsoft has published the download page for the Windows 7 RC. As we noted earlier, the download was scheduled to launch tomorrow and was to be available worldwide. Coming straight from the download page, here are Microsoft’s notes for the release candidate:

You don’t need to rush to get the RC. The RC will be available at least through July 2009 and we’re not limiting the number of product keys, so you have plenty of time. Watch the calendar. The RC will expire on June 1, 2010. Starting on March 1, 2010, your PC will begin shutting down every two hours. Windows will notify you two weeks before the bi-hourly shutdowns start. To avoid interruption, you’ll need to install a non-expired version of Windows before March 1, 2010. You’ll also need to install the programs and data that you want to use. (Learn more about installing Windows.)

Protect your PC and data. Be sure to back up your data and please don’t test the RC on your primary home or business PC.
Tech details/updates: Before installing the RC, please read the Release Notes and Things to Know for important information about the release.

Keep up with the news. You can keep up with general technical information and news by following the team blog. And, you can get non-technical news, tips, and offers by subscribing to the monthly Exploring Windows newsletter.

Keep your PC updated: Be sure to turn on automatic updates in Windows Update in case we publish updates for the RC.

Installation: You can install the Windows 7 RC on a PC running Windows Vista without backing up the PC—but we encourage you to make a backup for safe keeping. If you’re running Windows XP or the Windows 7 Beta, you’ll need to backup your data, then do a clean installation of the RC, then reinstall your applications and restore your data. If you need to do a backup, please see How to back up your PC for more details and a suggestion for how to backup a PC running Windows 7 Beta or Windows Vista.

So without further a-do folks, click here to go to Microsoft’s download center and download the Windows 7 RC. Microsoft has also launched the Technet download which you can find here. On a side note, it appears as if you will be issued a new product key for the RC. It is most likely going to give you the extended time for using the RC if you have downloaded from another source. Installation instructions can be found here.

If you’re wondering what has changed from the beta release to the RC, click here to read our guide. Is your system up-to-par for Windows 7? Microsoft has confirmed new system requirements for Windows 7, click here for more information.
