12Wonder Web Hosting Review

12wonderwebservices.com review.
Since I have set up my website, I have been very happy with the service that I chose to host it with. 1-2-Wonder Web Hosting Services offers great hosting prices, packages, and unbeatable customer support. When I had to contact customer support, I got an email reply in less than 15 minutes, and it wasn't just a "copy-and-pasted" reply, I could tell that it was a response from real person.

If you are hosing a website, I would highly recommend 1-2-Wonder Web Hosting Services, you will really be satisfied with their service.

Get Free Office Software: Open Office

Hello. Today I will explain to you the benefits of Open Office and how to obtain it. Open Office is a free office software suite in which you can make PowerPoints, word documents, and FlowCharts. Open Office, in some areas, is better than Micro-soft Off-ice for several reasons. One: you can export documents directly as a PDF file, which is not available in Office. Two: there are a lot more options/Features with Open Office. It may take a little while to get used to the software, but once you do get used to it, you will be glad you took the time to learn it. I really, highly recommend it.

Anti Virus recomendation: Avast

I was just at a persons house the other day, and they said that they had a virus that needed to be removed. I came as soon as I could, and when I took a look at the computer, all of the documents and pictures were missing, and they did not even have a backup for most of them. The main user account was deleted, so when the computer started up Windows had to create a temporary user account, and also said that the registry was permanently. And, when I tried to install anti virus software, the installation failed because the program couldn't install the registry entrys. Then I ran a scan of the currently running processes on the computer, in there, I found what I was looking for, a Trojan downloader. The damage was already done though, so there was nothing that could be done for the computer.

Computer users get into the mode of, "It wont happen to me" or "I have a good anti virus program, I don't need to backup". It is always very important to backup regularly, and run anti-virus scans regularly. This same nightmare can happen to you, it is best to prevent it before it happens.

A good anti-virus and anti-malware programs are a good place to start. I highly recommend Avast anti-virus because it has real-time anti-virus monitoring, telling you when a virus or Trojan is trying to install itself. If you are looking for a good free anti virus program, Grisoft AVG will do the job. Another good anti-virus program is Spyware Terminator, which offers real-time scanning too. But if you are looking for top of the line anti-virus scanning, I would still go with Avast. Make sure that you update your anti-virus and anti-spyware programs regularly so that you can keep up-to-date on the latest viruses and Trojans.

You can get Avast v. 4.7 here.

You can get Grisoft AVG here.

Jazz your Windows computer to look like a Mac!

The other day, I was thinking that it would look pretty cool if I could make my Windows XP computer like a Mac. So I searched the internet to see what options I had. I found one web page which gave a list of programs to install, none of which told me how to get the taskbar, (the thing with the Finder button, the view button, ect.) I installed some of the things, and I found the Mac wallpaper, (which was very hard to find) and got it to look a bit more like a Mac. But a lot of elements were missing. And some of the stuff, I found out, had to be bought. Everything that I was looking for I wanted to be free. So I finally gave up, not finding what I was looking for. Then, after using a different search term, I found exactly what I was looking for! I found a freeware program called FlyKiteOSX that gave me everything, the wallpaper, the Mac mouse, the taskbar, and the dock. It was very easy to install, and didn't require much user input. After I installed, I rebooted the computer, and low and behold, my Windows XP computer looked like a replica of a Mac! I have been playing around with it, and I have to tell you, it is a lot nicer to have a different view. You might want a different view if you use your computer for hours every dayJ. Anyways, here is the link to the website where you can download it. I am not responsible for any mishaps that might come over your computer. Post your comments and let me know what you think! Unfortunately, FlyKiteOSX is not compatible with Windows Vista.
