New AVG Free 8.0.233 Fails Residential shield test yet again

February 8, 2009

Dear Reader,

It appears that AVG Free 8.0.233 new update fails the residential shield test yet again…it seem to pick up viruses after it has already infected your computer….sometimes it takes 2 or even 3 scans to pick up said virus..but AVAST , AVIRA will pick it up in right away or even…something like 30mins after the fact..but still it will not have infected your PC yet…

Too bad….AVG 8.0.233 was doing so well…hopefully the next test AVG Free passes…

Till next time,

Skype 4.0 – Freeware Review

February 5, 2009

Dear Readers,

Ok, so I just installed the newest version of Skype 4.0

AA. Cost: FREE

1. Ease of use – a little more complicated then the last version

1a. Interface - There is a lot more here….thus can get a little confusing at first…

2. Quality Program – It has improved by leaps and bounds..video calls are well done and a lot of Web cames are actually cleaned up..with out doing anything on the users end….

3. Speed of Sign in – Very very quick…..faster even then MSN/Windows Live Message…hard to believe..but very true…

4. Can you run other programs while running Skype ? Yes

5. Can you leave it running and it will run with out issue ? Yes

6. Is there adware or Spyware bundled with it ? Nope not that I can see

7. Is it stable ? very Stable…it gets more stable the better your internet connection you have

Over all a 4 out of 5 stars- Some are gonna love it to death..with all the new features..while other are gonna ask WTF…why all the new more complicated interface….

Here is the Download link form Skype enjoy..http://www.skype.com/download/skype/windows/

Hope this helps,

SpeedFan 4.37 – Freeware Review

February 4, 2009

Dear Readers,

Hey all the new version of  SpeedFan is out….so here is my Review (Yes ppl, I know it has been out for awhile now…but I have been really busy..)

What does it do? It monitors your CPU, Mother Board and Hard-drive and internal fans and gives you a temperature read out..in your system tray..so you can tell how hot your computer is running to prevent damage and improve over all system performance

2. Ease of useEasy - This is very easy to use because you install it and it is ready to go…in most cases it does auto-detect…there has not been any computer I installed it on that did not work

3. Interface -Very Very simple…it has tabs on top..that is pretty much it..it is not fancy..but in this case that is how you want it…

4. Can you leave it running and it will run with out issue ? Yes…you can no doubt

5. Is there adware or Spyware bundled with it ? A big NO

6. Is it stable ? Very stable

Over all a 4 out of 5 stars – This new version is a whole lot better then the last version..just based on the fact it reads a lot more computers now..and is really accurate…

You can grab this freeware from the following website….http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php

hope this helps,
