Now... for those of you who are currently running Norton Anti Virus or Internet Security, here is a bit of info. SAVE YOUR MONEY, and allow your computer to work the way it should. I could write for days on this, but and stressed for time, so I will keep it as short as possible. Here are a few reasons why Norton sucks. (Side note... Norton for home users sucks, Norton Corp is great!)

1. Norton Internet Security is a software firewall that messes everything up. It causes retarded network issues and blocks a lot of stuff you need. You can change the settings on the program, but the normal user doesn't know the first thing about it. Plus, in my opinion... software firewalls are carp! There is the bottom line. You have to be online. You have to send out information and receive information in order to be online. So... in order for that to happen you have to have ports open. Un-wanted stuff will get through eventually in some way. You can then have a program like Zone Alarm block the incoming things, but if you don't know what they are you may be blocking everything including the things you need! So all of a sudden you can't receive email, or play your favorite online vid game, or what ever. So thats my thoughts on that. In conclusion, you don't want any internet security software that will block your access to the internet.

2. Norton anti virus is such a inflated program. It requires way to much memory for what it does. Plus, it over runs your system and bogs it down. In English, Norton anti virus makes your computer run slower, plus you have to pay an arm and a leg to have it, and when you need to renew it, it keeps popping up and bugging you ever 5 seconds. So its annoying, high maintenance, over priced, and slows down your system.

So now your saying DAVID!!! I have no protection. if you refer to one of my previous blogs, it will tell you how to keep your computer clean and what programs to use to help with that. There is an anti virus that is free and wonderful. Its called AVG Free Edition. I personally use it on all my companies computers, as well as all of my customers computers. So... Hope this helps guys

P.S. The name of the blog I was speaking of is called "If it ain't broke, Fix it before it is."

If it aint broke, fix it before it is.

In today's world, computer problems have simply become dismissed as an expectation. It doesn't have to be that way. Don' t get me wrong... there will always be spyware and viruses. There will always be some little bug in there trying to make your computer life less then perfect. But consider this.

Consider the idea of enjoying your computer, and feeling free to have a
fast computer that runs the way you want it to, doing what you want it to.
How is this possible?!? Short of having us take care of your computer/s monthly
there are a few different ways to help keep your computer running the way
it was intended to.

1. Go to google and look up these three "free" programs and have them run
at least once a week

a) AVG Free Edition

b) Spyware Blaster

c) Spybot

2. Don't click on "Free Offers!" While online you will see all these free offers to get a FREE IPOD!, or FREE PS3, or what ever. All those links are going to send you to is trouble!

3. Don't go to porn sites. Ok... put it this way... if you do want your computer messed up, go to porn sites. It is the quickest way to needing to call us and fork out the dow to get us to fix the darn thing.

4. Don't download free music. Im sure you all have heard the term "There is no such thing as a free lunch." RIGHT? That statement is so true when it comes to the internet. When downloading free music, games, programs, warez, etc... you could be doing a few things.

a) The industry doesn't like when you steal programs and music, so they put out "fake" downloads that will bring your computer to a point where you can't even turn it on.

b) When using Bearshare, limewire, etc... all of those (P2P) programs, you are litterally downloading someone elses problems. Its like having unprotected sex with alot of people, eventually you will pick up something. So the moral of the story is... pay for your music.

Here is the good news about music, there is a site called http://www.allofmp3.com

Its a russian site that will sell you music for like 3 bucks an album. It is so cheap, totally legal, and completly safe. Check it out.

5. Follow steps 1 through 4 and you will ge in good hands. This is no guerentee that your computer will stay perfect forever, but it will be WAY better off.

OH!!! one last thing, stay away from free online games as well. Better yet, stay away from anything free on the internet. Don't download anything unless you are totally sure it is ok.

Just remember this one rule: "There is no such thing as a free lunch"
