FREE ANTIVIRUS AND ANTISPYWARE REVIEW

Virus and especially spywares really gets down to the nerves of any computer user. Thankfully and not thankfully there are already a lot of antivirus and antispyware programs available in the market today. With the huge number of brands and manufacturers of this programs it can really be confusing on which one will really serve the purpose.

For those on a tight budget there are available free program downloads direct from the manufacturer's sight. I'll tell you that you should be contented with this as these downloads are safer from those that offers the "high-end cracked full-version" products but have a lot of spywares, adwares, and malwares attached with it.

Let me start first with the antivirus. Lately there had been three (3) legitimate free antivirus that I have tried namely: AVG, Avast Home Edition, and Avira's Antivir. So far the worst among the three, in terms of detection, is Avast. Right now I am using Avira and so far I am satisfied with it's results considering that it is free.

Now let's move to antispywares. Take note first that antivirus and antispywares are different. I can say that spywares, malwares, and adwares are more irritating than a virus and it can slow you're computer's processes and internet speed down. The worst is that most of the spy/ad/malwares are untouchable by your virus scanners so it's really a must to have both, though there are some high-end versions that comes in a bundle.Unlike antivirus, you can install more than one antispyware in your system, provided that they are compatible. I really want to try Window's Bit Defender but since my aunt's laptop has it's registration issues so I haven't got the privilege. Anyways, the first one I tried was Lavasoft's Ad-Aware. It really sucks in terms of detection not to mention it includes an unwanted bundle. Next was PC Tool's Spyware Doctor. The detection was really greatbut the disadvantage was it can't clean your system. I mean before it cleans you have to register first, a.k.a pay or buy the program. Then there was the High Jack This (HJT) of, if I am not mistaken, Trend Micro. The detection was amazing and it was really very comprehensive. But I don't recommend it to ordinary users like me, because due to it's comprehensiveness you will really be puzzled what to clean and not to clean, worse destroying your own computer. After trying both AVG and Spybot's S&D, I am left with Spybot. AVG was okay but the scanning was too slow comparing to Spybot, and I think spybot has a wider range of definition files.

Hope this article will help you bloggers out there to keep your systems running smooth.

TRUE LOVE

Everyone is seemed to be in the quest for the elusive true love and today we are constantly bombarded of scenes by the media that depicts "true love" and they are really effective. Yes, effective in confusing humanity about what true love is. The media often blurs true love by limiting it to criteria like having the "kilig" factor, exchanging of endless sweet nothings, and ending in happily ever after. As we know true love is more than those mentioned criteria. So what is really true love or how will you know that you found it?

It took me several relationships before I learned and felt what true love is. I can say that it is really not about the "kilig" factors, endless sweet nothings, nor it is necessary to be happily ever after. Most of us fail the love test by giving-up easily on our relationships due to some minor (or major) indifferences with our partner. We often conclude that s/he is not the right person for us; instead we should fill the deficiencies of our partner just like a jigsaw puzzle to create a clear and complete picture from the broken pieces. The "kilig" factor is another reason why true love fail to proliferate. I am not against it, infact I find it a plus if you can maintain the "kilig" in your relationship after 3 or more years, but "kilig" does not necessarily equate to true love. Also, it does not mean that you feel "kilig" to another person is that s/he is automatically the one that can let you have the true love experience. I can associate "kilig" more to infatuation or puppy love rather than on true love. Then there's the delusional happily ever after. Well I will tell you that fairy's and there tales do not exist in the real world. In a normal relationship arguments happens and some experts even consider it as healthy.There are still many reasons why most of us fail to experience true love and surely your eyes will sore if I will mention all. The bottom line is for us to experience true love we have to work for it. We have to be understanding and patient to our partners. We also need to know how to value ourselves and what we have. And lastly, we need to learn contentment. True love does not come in a package, it needs to be nourished.
