A Free, portable Anti-Virus

Posted Mon, 01/26/2009 - 12:00 by Mike

imageToday I wanted to talk about one of the really handy portable applications that is available from Portable Apps.

Have you ever worked on a computer, not yours of course, that you suspect of having been taken over by a pesky virus or today's most popular spyware? Trust me, I've seen my fair share of infected computers.

Left 4 Dead is Live, but the Demo is Dead

Posted Tue, 11/18/2008 - 06:43 by Mike

Well, it looks like I was right about the demo, mine says “pre-load complete” now, and when I double click on it, I receive the message that “a locked copy for Left 4 Dead has already been installed on your computer. Purchase it now and start playing immediately”. Oh well.

New Version of Windows Live Writer Beta - But Beware

Posted Thu, 10/16/2008 - 11:04 by Mike

If you already use Windows Live Writer Beta, then you’ll be prompted to upgrade when you open it. If you don’t use Live Writer Beta, and you blog, then you really should give it a try. I’ve been using nothing but Live Writer since it’s release, and have been really happy with it. You can download the installer here.
