NIS 2012 has just dropped in price, again. It’s a mere $23 for the complete box. You can also buy a downloadable copy. My subscription is just about to expire too. I thought $30 was a damn good deal for this software. This is way lower than I would have expected. I’m going to get the boxes version so I have the bootable CD, you never know when you might need something like that. You can grab a copy from Amazon. Norton Internet Security 2012
Looks like something has snuck into our corporate computers. I’ve heard a couple people complain about machines behaving poorly and random websites opening. You know, I’m not even sure what the hell we use for AV. Apparently it’s not that good. I just bought a copy of SuperAntiSpyware for $20. That’s the lifetime license. That should keep the evildoers at bay. If you haven’t bought a copy, I seriously recommend it. It has a funny name, but it does a damn good job. $20 for a lifetime license? Yeah, that works for me. Got my Rush tickets! Ticketmaster had another presale. Tickets should be pretty good, they cost me enough. But hey, that’s the cost of being a fan some times. Should be a fun show, and right before Halloween too. At least it won’t be stinking hot! By the way, I’ve been watching a lot of excellent bike racing on YouTube. There are some great clips up there. Not […]
I don’t know why Norton/Symantec does it this way, but it’s always cheaper to buy a new version of their app rather go through the renewal process. Norton Internet Security 2012 costs nearly $50, but you can buy a new copy from Amazon for $27. How does that make sense? In reality, I’m not buying a new version, I’m just extending the amount of time I can download virus definitions. It’s not like they’re actually "giving" me anything when I renew. But oh well, their choice. If it’s cheaper to buy the program again then so be it. And that’s where we are, renewal time again. It’s time to keep the anti-virus apps up to date and keep the flaming toilet papers rolls of the Internet away from my machine. The Internet is not a Superhighway. It’s a pothole ridden backroad with ruts and ill-tempered dogs that want to eat you. It can be an ugly place. Prevention is the […]
A friend of mine at work has found himself battling some serious computer demons. "A friend of his wife’s", (the story always starts that way) has a laptop that is running slow and causing problems. It took only a couple of minutes to determine it was the victim of some malware, probably had a virus and some spyware seeping through. Oh course the machine has an OEM copy of Windows, no recovery disks and as for anti-virus, I’m not sure it even had any. If it did, it sure as hell wasn’t working. Anyway, the battle began on Monday night. I met back up with him on Thursday and he looked to be a defeated man. He told stories of at least 10 viruses on the system, quite possibly a rootkit, definitely Malware and Spyware and since he didn’t have any disks, getting to scan the machine before Windows loaded was proving to be problematic. I’ve been there. I’ve been […]
