Bad news if you’re relying MSE to protect you against malware, A-V Test reports.

MSE dropped to 10.5 out of a possible 18. Other software dropped 1-2 points as well.

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition and VIPRE Internet Security were among 16 of the 23 products tested which dropped in their scores.

So, I was browsing around the internet instead of working again, and I came up with this:

http://semiaccurate.com/2012/11/26/intel-kills-off-the-desktop-pcs-go-with-it/

In short, the CPU that Intel is prepping after next year's Haswell, that Broadwell thing, won't be using a standard socket, it will be soldered to the motherboard. So that means no more upgrades and a lot less tweaking. Also a lot less motherboards.

Sure, upgrading my CPU was a bit of a hassle, but being able to ...

Well I have 3 devices synced together and I can do all sorts of stuff I'd never even dreamed of.

First off I synced my Win 8 PC to my Android 4 tablet.... which a while ago I didn't need or want.

Next I synced my Android tablet to the Android SmartPhone I was never going to get... "a phone is for making calls and nohing else." or words to that effect.  I suppose the phone being a gift from my mother had something to do with the: "I got me a SmartPhone" change of heart.

Then...

So I hear something interesting will be announced by NASA?

OK. Windows 8 isn’t fun to shut down or restart on a tablet. Start 8 is one solution.

Here’s another from Brandon Dimmel at infopackets:

“To shut down Windows 8 with one click: First, get to the main desktop screen.

Next, right click on the desktop and select New --> Shortcut.

When the menu appears, click 'Create new Shortcut.'

When Windows 8 asks you what item you'd like to create a shortcut for, enter the following command: 'shutdown /s...

I downloaded WindowsFX versions 4.01 & 5.1 as they were both available for me to do so.

 

Can I install both of these & have them peacefully coexist, provided I do not attempt to run both at the same time?

 

Thanks in advance for your replies. Happy Holidays!

I get every day the message that a new update was found. When I open Stardock Central I can not see any update available. My second problem is that I do not see Fallen Enchantress neither in the list of installed software, nor in the list of downloadable games.
I post this in one thread, because both problems started when I canceled an update that was found. Fallen Enchantress was installed through Stardock Central and can still be started with the direct link on my desktop. Update checks are a...

I always have problems with Firefox when using custom skins, I have tried multiple, new and Stardock skins like Win8. I have disabled Firefox to be skinned in settings, tested many settings, although the problem persists, with not being able to see the close/resize/minimize buttons in the right top corner. They are blanked out and unfuncitonal.

I was in the hospital recently for 3 days and had decided to take a good book along as reading is a really great way to pass time - and I chose Dracula. I hadn't actually read the book even though I had to read literature journals about the role of woman in the victorian society, the function of the monster, sexuality and eroticism in gothic novels, and about vampires as a gothic creation that stood for the monster that was allowed to do everythings that wasn't in the prude victorian society.

Well Windows 8 is officially up and running well. It's nice to see some new programs like Start 8 for those that don,t like the idea of life without a start menu.Great for them I have no problem with the new  START SCREEN.

If that were enough to do with the Start Menu / screen issue there is also the new option to change the tiles background.

Two new programs for Windows 8.

It is however nice to see a fantastic UPGRADE to Windows FX works well on Windows 7 & 8!

While Windows 8 isn’t for me, many folks have gone the way of getting the new OS.

Because all OS’s are vulnerable (W8, too), and because of the recent fall from grace and decertification of MSE by AV-Test you should have security software installed.

While cruising the net, I found an article on The Windows Club which deals with the problem of W8 not detecting installed security software. This is not your fault. You can run  sfc /scannow to your heart’s content, but it ...
