Microsoft has developed and now testing a free anti-virus application for Windows. The name of this generous piece of software is “Microsoft Security Essentials”. Microsoft claims that this program was developed as a replacement for their subscription based anti-virus program known as “Live One Care” which was 49.95 per year. If they can offer the protection, we may soon be free of annual subscription fees. Screenshot: Security Essentials is currently in beta and full. We’ll let you know as soon as its open again for download. For more information on Microsoft Security Essentials check out Microsoft’s Blog Site or the Security Essentials site. *UPDATE: Microsoft’s link is closed at the present but Security Essentials can be downloaded via Softpedia.

The latest version of Windows is just around the corner. Windows 7 will be available for purchase on October 22nd. Microsoft offers a guarantee on new computers purchased near the release date of their latest operating system. Probably around the end of June, new computers will include a free, or discounted upgrade to Windows 7. If I were in the market, I’d wait until then to buy. Have Windows Vista now and interested in upgrading to 7? Rumors suggest upgrades may be as little as $50 – $100, depending on your version of Vista. Why Windows 7?

Never Forget an Email Attachment Again
June 2nd, 2009 |

Sometimes we forget to attach a document or file before sending an email. The following tools look for keywords in your email to determine if anything is attached. When you hit send, a popup reminds you if you didn’t attach anything (if you didn’t intend to attach a file, no popup will appear). Pretty smart. Choose one of the following to install that best fits your needs:
