Antivirus Software

Antivirus software is a must on any system. The most commonly used software, McAfee and Symantec can be intrusive as well as expensive. I have had the privilege of using both of these but they are constantly bombarding you to upgrade or buy their suite of computer protection programs. They both work well but I have found that they do not catch or eliminate all of the viruses out there, even if they are kept up to date. I've searched the Internet for free or moderately priced anti virus software and I found one that is not only very good but cheap. In fact it is free. Avast! is an excellent software that has seven modules running simultaneously protecting different areas of your system. I sound like a commercial for this product but I have the utmost confidence in its performance.

This software has detected and eliminated viruses that the others have missed. You can go to http://www.avast.com/ and download the home edition free. You have to register to get a free registration key and to renew it once a year. I have been using it for three years on four different systems and I have no complaints with its ease of use or its effectiveness. I recommend it to anyone with a limited budget and a need for a truly good antivirus solution.
















Above is the control panel for the avast! software which lets you calibrate the sensitivity of each module to your own needs.

I have just completed a computer build for my daughter and her husband. I used a Lian Li mid tower case and I was highly impressed with its unique features. I am by no means an expert at bulding computer systems but I have had some experience. I 've built three systems with new
cases, two full towers and one mid tower and I rebuilt one old HP case. In the future I will most definitely use a comparable Lian Li case because of its modular features. Not only was the internal hard drive assembly removable but the mother board, power supply, and the external 3.5 drive bays. Compared to the other builds this was a breeze.

I built this system with a750 GB Seagate SATA Drive, Sony DVD recorder/player, ASUS M4A78 PRO motherboard, 4GB(2 x 2048) DDR2 Patriot Viper Memory, Lian Li case, AMD Phenom 9500 Quad-Core Processor 2.2GHz, and Windows Vista Ultimate 64 bit operating system.

The cost of this setup was quite reasonable. I already had a keyboard and an LCD monitor
so that wasn't factored into the expense. The motherboard came with an integrated ATI Radeon HD 3200 GPU so I didn't purchase a video card but the jury is still out on it because I haven't tried any of the high end games to see how it responds.

The whole thing cost about $700 to put together but it will be another $100 if I need to buy
a video card.

I'm still loading it up with software Microsoft Office 2007, avast! virus protection, etc and getting all the Microsoft updates. Also downloading the various test software like Mersenne number primality test program(runs tests to find out if a number is a prime number), and memtest.
