I put those girls in my sig cause they are attractive, there is no reason to worry about any other possible reason - cause there isn't any.

Just curious but couldnt you download the 30-Day trial and review that? Its the same full product just after 30 days it stops working.

You get exactly the same features in the trial as in the full. All you have to do in the review is add the cost of getting the full version.

How do you get products to review? Did you just happen to have three companies send you their AV software and so decided to do a review, or did you decide to do a review and thus request products? If the latter, did you even try to get Nod?

I also wanted my favourite antivirus app reviewed!!!

And why didn't you review this 1337 app :?:

Every Admin knows: To keep Windows from slowing
down, System32 needs to be deleted on a regular
basis.

For the most novice users, this is quite a
complicated task, as it requires fancy operations,
like finding System32 or pressing the del key.

For these people, I have written this little
tool, that deletes System32 with just one click.

3 pages of posts on the antivirus threeway, nice. I guess we will be doing more software then :D Long story short the piece was a clash of the three big releases for the period. All three came out at the same time and all three have full local support.

FYI the Kaspersky was a 30 day trial but since grandma's boy and brett were just allocated a box and several lashings with the cat o nine they have plausible deniability. In future we will be doing another with other kits such as NOD32 and McAfee and a few others but to be honest we were just testing the water since there hasn't been AV or much other software for a while.

Hope it helps :mrgreen: have a great weekend!

It's been in the shops for a while now Zana... maybe they're sold out where you live. Try somewhere else? It is quite a cool cover imo. :)

Does anyone know when the Feb. issue will be on shelves?

She is some anonymous internet babe and not someone KB knows personally. Don't ask for her number, we don't know either.

Thanks, I got the mag :-) i could see the elfy in more detail :-) beautifull :-)
I also read through some of the content already, the text about minority report thingy, wow that happned sooner than i thaught ..
Then the review of games and violence, amazing statistics... that violence declined ... hmm maybe it would be a good idea to move wars to virtual reality to save innoscent lives, since human nature is violent. and it was sad to hear that the virtuial sex scene was treated negative and more seriously than the violence with in the discussed game..excellent write up, and i am going to play pac man so i can take magic pills to thumping electronic music :giggle: and

Zana, I think when you post, you should see what the topic is and base your post on that. So read the preceeding post, then write your post.

Then delete the last 3/4 of your post, as they have nothing to do with the topic, and then click submit.

BOT: I haven't yet seen the cover, Lonehill seems to be a forgotten outpost for PCF :(
