I need a new antivirus software, since his expired, best would be if it was free. It needs autoupdate since he never updates it. Same with with Spyware/adware protection, disk cleanup... :rolleyes:

I curently have Kapersky Installed, but i dont like the looks, and its prety slow but probably its just my bros PC :rolleyes:

So any sugestions...?

Oh, yeah and it should have Active Shield Thing.

Well my bro (or dad) wont buy an AV software :p

for a while, mcafee was *giving* away 100% fully working, 100% legal copies of their av, firewall and anti-spyware apps in accordance with some class-action lawsuit... i snagged free copies of each, directly from them, when it was going on...

not sure if they're still offering it, but it's worth a shot. it's what i give to friends/family when they need some up-to-date av software, but get uneasy when you mention something that isn't either norton or mcafee. sometimes despite your best recommendations, they're still scared of anything that they haven't seen in stores or heard about from friends.

as for things that are normally free, i like avg. does a good job and stays out of the way.

For me Kaspersky is the best ... but it's not Free

Yeah but i got it on CD, from a mgazine (with Anti-Hacker)

I just really dont like the looks (any way to skin it? :D ), but he might as well use that one since its not my PC.

My bros PC is really slow now, i dont kno if its cuz we just installed SP2 or if he got a virus or he just ****** it up...

Well its about time for a HD format, disk filled with crap :rolleyes:

    • Valve will finally let you build your own Steam Machine with SteamOS for desktop

      By branfont · Posted

      If you don’t get lucky with Valve’s Steam Machine reservation system, you can make your own Steam Machine instead. Valve says that “starting with the SteamOS 3.8 release, you can put together your own Steam Machine using whatever PC parts you want.” SteamOS 3.8.10 launched last week with a slew of updates, including “improved compatibility with recent Intel and AMD platforms.” Alongside that improved compatibility, Valve is giving gamers the green light to install SteamOS on their own desktops. In an interview with The Verge, Valve’s Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve has been “rolling out improvements to [SteamOS] so it’s more compatible with desktop hardware,” including eventual support for Nvidia graphics. Griffais says Valve has “a growing team” working on Nvidia driver support for SteamOS, adding, “We’re collaborating with Nvidia very closely.” While he mentioned that Nvidia support might not come this year, Griffais emphasized that “it’s certainly something that we’re working on in the background.”     Subscription not needed: https://archive.fo/Tssfc Subscription needed: https://www.theverge.com/games/953411/valve-steamos-desktop-nvidia

      I thought they were supposed to reduce the amount of restarts needed to install these updates? It took 3 restarts to install this update...
    • AI is indeed eliminating jobs, and Oracle just proved it

      By Jdoe25 · Posted

      I know an idiot at work who is "Director for innovation projects" and inevitably has been tasked with following up on this whole trend of "AI and its work applicability". He recently sent out a survey on the topic, for the workforce to disclose their usage and attitudes towards AI. The survey was badly, sloppily typed out, the questions and answers (when multiple choices) were loosely correlated and, all and all, it would already be miserable in the times of MS Office Autocorrect alone. Then, I had AI responding to it all (on the open-ended questions) with beautiful, to-the-point prose after I provided it with minor but proper guidance, taking me under 10 minutes. All this to say that I am sure that if AI comes to replace someone, it will still be me, and the other idiot will still stay.
