Using Gmail to manage ALL your email accounts


These days, most people need to juggle at least 2 email accounts around.  One for personal use, and one for work.  Often though, people may even have four or five email accounts that they need to keep track of.  I personally have four…   2 for work related email, 1 that came with my ISP at home (Comcast), and of course my Gmail account.  If your like me, managing all these accounts in a single online location may be just the thing you need to keep your sanity.

HP 22″ LCD Monitor for only $120


Ok, I don’t normally post price cuts or deals here, but this one was too good to not tell everyone about.  HP is running a mail-in rebate offer with two of their flat screen LCD monitors right now, giving you a check after the purchase of either one of these monitors, up to a quantity of 10.  The smaller monitor is the model L1910, which is a 19-inch Widescreen LCD with a $40 rebate.  The larger one, and by far the better deal in my opinion, is the 22-inch Widescreen LCD (model:LE2201W) with a $50 rebate.

Rogue Anti-Virus: UPDATE


This is a quick update to my previous article on fraudulent anti-virus.

If you happened to get infected with one of these programs, I have found a new scanner that will actually get rid of it for you.  Now…  I typically scan with Symantec AV Corp, AdAware, and Spybot…  Although, none of these were able to get rid of the program entirely.  Well…  Thanks to a topic I found over at Bleeping Computer, I was able to remove Antivirus 2009 from a few infected computers using Malwarebytes.  This new scanner (well, it’s new to me at least) will remove several of the rogue antivirus variants as well as other spyware & adware objects that my other scanners missed.  I think I will be adding Malwarebytes to my personal arsenal from now on.  Oh, one other thing, I only needed the FREE version to get rid of the infections!

Rogue Anti-Virus is Taking Over


Over the last year or so, I am running into more and more computers that have been infected with rogue anti-virus software. Now spreading from hundreds of different websites based in various foreign countries, these fraudulant anti-virus programs are starting to take over.
