My choices for this year's best paid antivirus are:

Norton 360

Bitdefender Total Security

I chose Norton 360 for its comprehensive protection, ease of use, and excellent customer support. It's a reliable solution for my devices and provides peace of mind with its real-time protection features.

I also picked Bitdefender Total Security for its excellent malware detection rates and minimal impact on system performance .It offers great value for the protection it provides.

    • Skullcandy Crusher wireless headphones are now on sale

      By Ivan Jenic · Posted

      Skullcandy Crusher wireless headphones are now on sale by Ivan Jenic The Skullcandy Crusher Wireless is currently $89.99 on Amazon, down from its typical price of $115.14. That's 22% off and around $25 saved on a headphone from a brand that made its name putting loud, fun sound in the ears of skaters and snowboarders (purchase link below). The Crusher's signature feature is the dual bass drivers that sit alongside the standard 40mm full-range drivers. That means the Crusher produces low ends that hit hard, without muddying the mids and highs. There's a slider on the ear cup that lets you dial the bass intensity up or down, from subtle to something that genuinely vibrates against your head. Battery life is rated at up to 50 hours, and Skullcandy promises that a rapid charge feature gives you 4 hours of listening from a 10-minute charge. The design is foldable and collapsible for travel, so you can comfortably place it even in smaller bags. Another convenient addition is the compatibility with a 3.5mm jack, which you can wire in for continued listening when the battery runs out. At $89.99, the Crusher Wireless isn’t on the high-end of wireless headphones, but it’s a decent buy for anyone who wants a bass-heavy headphone with serious battery life without spending Beats or Sony money.

    • A factory builder and a tycoon game are free on the Epic Games Store this week

      I guess Epic is really hemorrhaging users that they need to give away free games to lock them into their eco system. 🙄
