Great show again.

Looks as if the impact of the current hard drive shortage may be felt as far as 2013 according to this report:

I just listened to this program and I have to disagree. I’ve been rolling out AVG Business Edition antivirus at programs that have approximately 15 – 30 PC’s per program. Due to budget constraints and a proprietary software program, the PC’s are all XP with between 512-2GB of RAM so they’re really short on computing resources.

I can get 15 licenses of AVG business antivirus for about $250.00. It comes with a centralized management server and if you tweak the install (no link scanner, toolbars or other bloat) it is a good, solid antivirus software.

In reference to Microsoft Security Essentials, it may be a good solution but I would pose this question:

Should I trust the company that designed the operating system, and its inherent security flaws, to provide software that’s supposed to protect me?

Seems counterintuitive.

Came looking for the link to the podcast that Carey mentions in the last minute. I can’t tell what the name it’s either. Buyer brown?

Great show guys! This episode was full of many useful tips, so many I couldn’t keep up with writing them all down and will be looking forward to reading the show notes.
You guys should do an episode with Steve from Podnutz!

SandboxIE prompts you to keep the changes or not when you reboot as an Admin. It is not difficult to install a program with SandboxIE installed.

Also, Web of Trust is outstanding! http://www.mywot.com. It will block you from going to a website that many people have marked as bad. However, the block shows a link to go on to the page anyway if you wish. I have rarely seen it be wrong and encourage all of my clients to use it. WOT will also show a red, yellow, or green icon next to every search result and even next to any old link in GMail.

I don’t have to be professional but I am. I want to give my opinion on your character, Carey. You are direct and honest. I also think you made the Computer America Show interesting and exciting. It is dull and boring now. I listen to COA to the guest, & fast forward the nonsense chatter. I hated the way he emphasized titles. What you know is most important. I think your knowledge was threatening to Craig Crossman. He is knowledgeable too but his delivery is boring!!!!!!!!!

Hello guys,
Here in Palm Springs California and the entire Coachella Valley (The Desert area)is also very slow as far as clients calling for tech support. We hope we can overcome the situation by creating ads with offers that in a good economy will be like giving away your labor, we also have a booth in the local swapmeet and passing cards to everybody that comes. Will do almost anything to get business in what we love COMPUTERS….
