Antivirus: AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 8.0

Posted by Cyb3rk Bade on 2nd July 2008

AVGGoing on the web without any antivirus software is for certain a suicide action for any user. We all try to protect our PC, but not all of us can really buy an antivirus software to protect our home PC too. Few years ago this was a real problem because was only few free solution for this and many times that “solutions” give just a fake protection. Now almost all serious antivirus software companies, offer powerful free solution for home users and this is a huge step ahead for business company who buy the software too, because their employers have also home computers and many times they carry files from home PC to office PC and back. Maybe antivirus software companies, just realize their job will be much easy if they will try to protect both sides (home and office) and because of that, they offer this free solutions with minimal but good protection for home users too. As home users, many of us don’t have same strong computers like we have at office, and in this case how an antivirus software use and keep busy our PC resources, become very important to avoid a significant slow down of our home computer.

We recommend you here a very good free solutions from AVG (for your home PC), with minimum spend of your PC resources, with free daily update automatic and what is really special on this software is “Safe Search” add. This means Safe Search protection provides you advices about search results. For example, when you search something on google, near every result of search you will have a star input there by AVG who show you health fo the site pages before you actually go on them. If you put mouse over that star you will also get few more info about the site and about potential danger if it is. A green star show you all is ok there and you can go to that link with no worries about. A red star, means that is a dangerous site with active threats and if you folow that link you may have problem when just open that page. It also have 2 level of risky for potential dangerous site. Remember, this “Safe Search” will not protect you from threats from that pages (only pay version do this), but will show you there is a threats, or a potential threats, before you actually click on that link. And in my opinion this is a great level of protection from a free antivirus software.
I use AVG free antivirus from few years already and I can say this antivirus is really do his jobs and protect my PC with great results. I recomend you this free solutions too to try it and if you like it and find it usefull, to keep it and use it.

Posted by Cyb3rk Bade on 24th June 2008

Many times when we use a PC we have to move or copy a folder or a file to another place. I am sure most of you already know how to do this, but like we all was sometime ago, are few of us who are just started in all this computer stuff and maybe need to know about this too. This is the same in Second Life when you have to move or copy some items in your inventory from one place to other, or you just need to edit some notecards and do same operations with a word or a sentence. How we do this?

Select file, folder, item (sl)

Posted by Cyb3rk Bade on 9th June 2008

The most easy way to select a file or a folder (in Win) or an item (in SL) is to click on it. You will see how is change something about the color of it when you do this, and that means is selected.

Sometimes you need to select more the one file, folder or items. For select multiple files, folders or items, we have two situations.

1. When we need a continuous selection of multiple items. Then we will use key “SHIFT”. How to do this? Is simple :). You need to select first item you need to be selected (click on it), then press key “SHIFT” and keep it pressed, and you select last item from row or column you need to be selected (click on it with “SHIFT” key pressed). If you do this you will notice how all files, folders, items from first to last are selected together. This is very useful when you need to move or copy more then one file, folder, item from one place to another.

2. When we need a random selection of multiple items from many files, folders, items. Then we will use key “CTRL”. This is simple too. We select first file, folder, item (click on it) and then we press key “CTRL” and we hold it. With CTRL key hold, we click on other items we need to be selected, random, and we will notice items will be selected together without items between them.

Same rules works in SL. Especially when you work in your inventory, this way for selections will help you to move or copy more then one item at a time, saving your time too.
