Norton Internet Security 2013–$19.27 from Amazon. Instant Download or Free Shipping

It’s already the middle of the year so it may be time to upgrade your Anti Virus protection. I just renewed mine for the year so I’m already looking to next year. When it comes to Symantec, it’s not the software version that’s important, it’s the key. With that in mind, here’s a copy of Norton Internet Security (NIS) 2013 3PC edition for $19.27. Since it normally lists in the $80 range, that’s 70% for a yearly subscription. What I end up doing is buying these ahead of time when the price drops, then add the new key when the time to renew comes. Norton makes it very easy to change the subscription to a new key. I’ve been running NIS for the past 3 years and have been extremely happy with it. Symantec has done a great job of minimizing the system resources it uses. And the protection seems extremely good. If you look at the reviews from Maximum […]

To Pagefile or Not to Pagefile, That Is The Question

So it’s 2013 and the question remains, do you need a pagefile if you have plenty of ram? And by plenty of ram I’m talking 32GB and above. Machines with 4, 8 or even 16GB probably still need a pagefile from time to time, especially if you do work with large graphics or video. But if you cross the 32GB threshold, do you need a pagefile and if so, where should it go? Quite frankly, no one seems to have the answer. Everyone contradicts everyone else. Some say that running without a pagefile will give you better performance, while others say apps won’t load correctly without one. Some claim putting a pagefile on an SSD drive is asinine, while others claim it’s the perfect place and perfect use for that drive. And then plenty of people cop out and say you have to test for yourself. We all know the pagefile is some legacy technology, but what happens if you […]

Advanced Uninstaller 5

Ashampoo has come out with a new version of their Uninstaller. I really should be using this more. I install and remove so much crap it’s ridiculous. I have broken apps and renegade services all over the place. I have version 4, got into the habit of using then all of sudden let it fall to the wayside. I really wish Windows had an Undo function like you see in VirtualBox. Uninstaller is about as close as we’re going to get. I should be a little more proactive with it’s use. Maybe I’ll be better with v5. Plus, it’s only $8. Ashampoo Uninstaller 5

Norton Internet Security 2013 on the way

NIS 2013 is right around the corner. The beta is closed and Amazon is listing 2013 as a pre-order. However, it’s not the software that’s important, but the CD Key. As long as you have an active subscription you’ll get the latest version of the software. This mean now is the time to strike and grab a copy of NIS 2012 for a mere $20, rather than wait and get 2013 for $79. You can either get the Digital Download version for $20 or the Boxed version for $22. Considering all the viruses and havoc that’s going on out there, I say buy now while the price is low and upgrade to 2013 within the next week or so. You’ll save yourself quite a bundle.

XYplorer Lifetime License Pro

This is a must have for Windows and is the type of File Explorer that should be included in Windows by default. I bought XYplorer the last time it went on sale at BitsDuJour and I’ve been using it everyday on multiple machines ever since. You get multiple tabs, a better copy and paste than standard file explorer (although I use TeraCopy), file renaming, image viewer, preview pane, search, hotkeys, scripts, shortcuts and a ton of other features. Plus, it’s updated on a regular basis with new features coming all the time. And this is the Lifetime License, so once you buy it, you’re set for all future versions of the program. Further, you can install it on all your machines without having to buy additional licenses. It’s a great piece of software and I highly encourage you to get a copy. XYplorer Lifetime License Pro When you really think about it, file management in Windows hasn’t really changed all […]
