It’s not like you’re not all enjoying Christmas/New Years with YOUR families.
I haven’t fallen off the earth again, it’s just been very quiet the last month. So, if you are here, um, look in your stockings for any digital gadgets like thumb drives, digital photo frames, etc., and make sure they’re clean. In fact, if you haven’t got one, find a decent anti-virus for your home computer. You could do worse than AVG-Free. You could, in fact, do better if you weren’t such a cheapskate, but hey, I’m not judging.
Yeah, I heard about this happening to another digital frame a while back. I hope it hasn’t infected digital cameras! (I just got one for Christmas.)
So do you have any opinion of bitDefender?
I usually turn to http://www.av-comparatives.org for evaluating av software. They run all the biggies against a series of common tests and rank the results. They do this every few months, too, so one month a given company might rank really well, and the next not so much. So it’s good to review a few month’s worth of reports.
According to them, bitDefender is pretty good. I’ve never used them, but I know some folks at work who like it (and I work in a tech shop, so that’s not a bad recommendation).
