  • Book Review – Administering Windows Vista Security ,The Big Surprises

  • AVG 8.0 Free Version..

    In the past, I have been an advocate of AVG and, until this version, had no reason not to be. Unfortunately, it has been slowing my system down. The automatic scan, set to start at 01:00 hrs, was still running on the 160gb SATA drive at 09:00, with an 80gb IDE drive still to go. And, to add insult to...
