I will try my best to post the best combination (firewall, anti-virus, anti-malware, others.) You can help me out by posting what works best for you.

Note: It is important that you don't have TWO of a kind installed, for example, installing two anti-virus programs sounds secure but in reality it will just be counter productive. Uninstall all other anti-virus programs and just keep 1.
Note2: Not all programs are free but most do have trials and others have free home versions.



Firewalls:

PC Tools Firewall hxxp://www.pctools.com/firewall/

Comodo Firewall hxxp://www.comodo.com/home/internet-security/firewall.php

The Cost is $40 installation and $20 a month, with a 30 day money back guarantee on both. So They are coming out today to install it. Has anyone ever used this type of service?

May be this is a good news for Verizon users.

A new report citing sources in the Taiwan handset supply chain says Apple has contracted to produce a UMTS/CDMA hybrid iPhone due in the third quarter of next year that will enable the company to sell a single global handset to all carriers, and specifically to Verizon Wireless in the US.

The report by OTR Global, provided to AppleInsider by an industry analyst, says the new "worldmode" iPhone will gain compatibility with CDMA2000 networks (including Verizon's US network, which is currently incompatible with existing iPhone models) while retaining compatibility with UMTS 3G networks globally using a new hybrid chip produced by Qualcomm.

According to OTR's sources, Asustek subsidiary Pegatron will build the new hybrid phone devices for Apple rather than Hon Hai, the iPhone's current manufacturer. This decision was reportedly made to prevent the company from being "constrained by a single-source assembler." ]]> mesayh2001 http://www.livefta.com/forums/computers-technology/65895-report-apple-launch-verizon-iphone-q3-2010-a.html http://www.livefta.com/forums/computers-technology/65889-mandriva-2010-now-out.html Sat, 07 Nov 2009 06:32:50 GMT Do not upgrade via rpm if you are using an old version, mine killed the wireless drivers I Had to boot to windows and d/l the torrent for 2010 live and install from the live dvd. and format the partitions for a clean install.
