Best Free Antivirus on the Net

Anyone using the internet or connected to a network of computers is in constant threat from viruses. These stealthy and unwanted files will creep up to your system and hampers its performance to a point that it's affecting certain programs that you are using. It may slow down startup which can be menacing for someone who wants to get to work at the fastest possible time.

Although purchased anti-viruses have a large list of dodgy programs it can safely remove, free for all software are also available for those that would like to protect their computer with only their web searching skills. Tons of sites have their own pick when it comes to these sorts of software. Although some are very much trusted by the web community, some might give you an ounce of headache instead of finding the solution you are hoping for.

Here are few programs that I have personally used and would recommend to others. You may see these featured in majorgeeks.com and received good reviews from their editors. Unless you like viewing the blue screen of death on your PC I suggest giving these anti viruses a try. You can see the description for each in the Major links provided.

Of course you do not have to install all these just to make sure no virus gets through. But it would be a good idea to make a run through on each one when you are having problems with your system. Please comment and stay tuned for the next posts.

Read the President's speech in full text

For those who would like to make an in depth analysis of the speech made by Pnoy earlier today. Here are some websites who's owners have fervently updated their blogs to provide readers the fully transcribed speech made by president Aquino. I personally thank these people for their fast input and unbelievable passion and love for our country.

President's Sona Over; Reactions Pouring In

It was a busy Monday morning for cabinet members, congressmen and senators that took part on the first State of the Nation Address (SONA) given by the newly elected President Ninoy "Noynoy or Pnoy" Aquino. The speech started quite late in the afternoon and luckily for me, who just came home from a long trip, to have witnessed the live telecast exactly at the part when the president takes center stage and not having to watch the seemingly endless reports before the event.

The speech was filled with revelations and figures that the Filipino people never expected to hear. It is a straightforward approach to the problems and not even a sentence contained any unrealistic promises that previous Addresses seemed to be abundant with. He tackled the excessive spending of the previous administration and how it crippled the government budget and is now incapable of funding operations for crisis management.

Although a lot of positive feedback was said after the speech, there were negative comments as well especially from those who were involved in the issues. I just wished he included information technology and how it can help in making his visions come true. A lot of people who work through the internet and other related fields will definitely like some geeky comments come out from their respected leader.

By the end of the day, we can expect a lot of tweets and blogs rush in from different parts of the country and all eyes are focused on the man of the hour.

How about you? What do you think about the president's speech. Share your insights and comment. See you in my next post!

Hello People of the Web; I come in peace

The world is constantly changing. People are always in need of information and the more they know, the better equipped they will be in the very competitive field they work in. What better source to get unbiased and reliable bits of knowledge than the internet. Even with the annoying spams and viruses that always try to crawl into your computer, it still beats going to the library and browsing hundreds of books just to find a line or two or even just a word that the mind failed to remember.

When it comes to news, gossips and other fresh new trends, the internet is always a step ahead compared to other sources. More than often, internet "is" the news, because celebrities and other people pour their hearts in it for everyone else to see. News can range from very informative, to downright shocking. So the net is actually a double edged sword when it comes to dissemination of information. It can make or break people depending on how they use the various data readily accessible with just a click of a button.

I have made this blog to create a small but very informative place for people that wants to dive into the tech field and the world wide web. Trying to keep in tune with the latest gadgets and places in the web that are very interesting. Even if some of my blogs will be focused for Filipinos techies, this blog is for everyone that loves technology and would like to get updates without having to spend hours looking on the net. Hope you stay with me on this venture and watch out for my incoming posts.
