MacKeeper 2012

If you are like me you take good care of your computer, be it a Mac or a PC. Even though you do this, things still seem to happen, it runs slow for no reason, you accidentally loose a file you need to recover, etc. The solution is quite simple, all in one software for the Mac and the PC by ZeoBit called MacKeeper and PC Keeper. With multiple features, 24/7 live support, near flawless software, and an evergrowing company behind it, this is the software to have for any computer owner who simply wants to keep their machine running smooth.

AVG Must Die

As seen on DannyMinick.com

The blue screen of death. Something every Windows user hates seeing. Unfortunately, I am not immune to this kind of error. Yesterday morning, Windows 7 started acting rather funky. It began to lag and freeze. I immediately thought it was my Nvidia GeForce graphics card. I went to the Nvidia website, and it turns out they released a driver specifically for Windows 7 for my card last week. I downloaded the driver and restarted my computer. I log in and I am struck with a BSOD.

I take a snapshot of the error with my iPhone, and send the shot over to geeks.pirillo.com. Minutes later, people are telling me that it was AVG that caused the error. And they were right.

I go to unistall AVG completely from my system, and before I can press restart, I get another BSOD. Nothing like going out with a bang.

AVG is horrible. The laughing stock of the Antivirus industry and in my opinion, worse than Norton. They were once so good and did such a great job at keeping your computer clean and safe. Not anymore. They have lost their reputation among the geeks, and are avoided like the plague.

Looking for a good (and free) antivirus? Try these: avast!, Avira, BitDefender. Or go with the "big boys": Kapersky, McAfee, Windows Live OneCare (does not work with Windows 7).
