I’m having trouble booting up my computer. I can’t get past the post screen. I’ve tried everything but keep getting the PXE-E61 error. If I were to take my comp to Fry’s to get it repaired how much would it cost. I’ve tried everything on the net that people said to try but nothing works. How much would Fry’s cost to repair this problem?
In another recent case study, this time between Bitdefender Internet Security Suite and Spybot Search & Destroy. There was a case where a machine was infected by a trojan virus and Bitdefender kept overlooking the virus. We did notice some fishy behavior on the machine and decided to put on good old Spybot Search & Destroy (a free software). After about an hour of doing scan with Spybot Search & Destroy, we found that nasty malware exploit (XP Police Virus) and a few other unwanted items that Bitdefender overlooked for over three months.
Sometimes you cannot put a price tag on free. Not because it’s free means it’s not good. Spybot Search & Destroy WORKS.  🙂
In recent comparison we did some test between Norton Antivirus and Bitdefender Antivirus and got some surprizing results. In this years pcworld review on top antivirus softwares Norton outranked Bitdefender. However in our test, Bitdefender out performs Norton.Â
We basically put a machine to run with suspected viruses and had Bitdefender Total Security and Norton 360 do a scan. Norton overlooked some trojans while Bitdefender picked them up.
In this run, Bitdefender Total Security Suite won. Also, since we are comparing two apples… Bitdefender was also more configurable than Norton. Norton 360 is made for rookies and Bitdefender has a nice GUI but don’t let that fool you.
Since the down turn of the economy, many people are trying to look for other ways of making a side income. These days people are getting more involved with affiliate marketing.
What is affiliate marketing?
Affiliate Marketing is when you sign up with a company and try to sell their products and or services on your website. Each sale “normally” qualifies for a commission. Notice the emphasis on normally. The reason for this is some affiliate companies cheat their affiliates from commissions.Â
Even big companies like commission junction cheat their affiliates at times. The funny thing is according to the terms and agreements that you sign, they’re supposed to give you your commission, but they don’t always do this. They find excuses at times NOT TO PAY you.Â
They come up with excuses like technical excuses:
All these are poor excuses and are perfect ways of shady business. At times affiliate marketing can make money, but you’re always in playing the role of depending on someone else to be fair.
Having said this, this is why other affilites turn to “black hat”. I guess they may have possibly got tired of being robbed by some of these companies. Black Hat affiliate marketing is NOT THE WAY TO GO. The way to go is to find companies that you can do clean business with. Better yet, find products that you can sell yourself and make money by yourself. Basically this puts you in a role where you make the rules and how are you going to rob comissions from yourself?
Reality these days is most adware and spyware don’t go away from your PC with just a click of a button as these so-called software vendors claim. To make matters worst, a lot of the top anti-virus software vendors DON’T REMOVE all the viruses from the machine.
We ran tests in our Lab and found that there is NO ONE anti-virus or spyware adware removal software to do the complete job. Most of these software vendors just take your money and give you FALSE HOPE in thinking that their software did the job.
You can NEVER CIRCUMVENT a real computer technician. No matter how much softwares you buy to do the job. There are many people who try to do the jobs themselves, and just make things worst. The easy solution to all the virus and security threats out there is to simply find a GOOD TECH COMPANY and have them do a PROFESSIONAL SECURITY AUDIT on your PC.
We tried Norton on our lab machines, and found out that they find SOME viruses, not all.
We did the same with AVG, Bit Defender, Kaspersky, PC Cillin.. and many more.
As far as spyware softwares go, a lot of these anti spyware softwares out there give you spyware. There are a few good ones out there, but most of them are just a waste of time and money.
To summarise, leave the hard stuff to the professionals. Let them do the work while you relax.
As consumers and computer consultants, we would say that experience is the greatest teacher.
