Ever since Microsoft released Windows, the most virus prone operating system out of them all, users everywhere have panicked, worried and screamed in frustration at their virus infested computer.

Could Microsoft’s new free anti-virus software Security Essentials be the angel that Windows needs to haul it from the depths?

Microsoft released this not that long ago, it replaces Windows Defender, which, let’s face it, kind of annoyed most of us with it’s constant warning messages and over-the-top detection.

Microsoft seemed to have fixed all that with Security Essentials, it’s lightweight, efficient and I found, picks up stuff that my paid anti-virus does not.

Many people may be suspicious at first, seeing as their last Microsoft purchase wasn’t exactly all up to par in the ‘computer resources’ department, but I can assure you this works surprisingly well.

I’ve been using this program for years!

Shame on me for not telling you sooner!

One of my most favourite and most used apps ever.

It is a bar that looks like the Mac dock on the bottom of the screen, but better..

You can place it at the top of the screen, like mine, to the left, to the right, or on the bottom.

There are hundreds of awesome themes for it plus! It runs smoothly, I find that when the Windows taskbar vanishes for some reason I can rely on RocketDock.

Perfect software, can’t believe I didn’t think of sticking it on here sooner.

You won’t regret it!

I’ve been using this recently, and I love it!
It is simply outstanding.

For those that don’t know about computers much, let me explain.

Every computer runs an operating system, without an operating system it’s just a box of fancy cords, and spinning drives.

One of the most common operating systems is Windows XP, you may very well be using it at this very moment. It’s the one with the button in the corner saying ‘Start.’

Then there is Linux, which there are many, many different versions made by different people. Two examples of some of the most popular Linux systems are Ubuntu and Mandrivia. Plus Linux is FREE! Most Linux systems are OpenSource and free to download.

Then there is the Mac OSX, which is legally only allowed to run on a Mac computer. But I stuck it here as another example of an operating system.

Anyways!

What VirtualBox does is lets you run Multiple operating systems on your computer.

To your right is a picture of my themed Windows XP desktop with Windows 7 and Ubuntu 9.10 running on my computer.

Why would you want to do this?

Firstly it makes your computer very compatible, you can run Linux programs, new Windows 7 only programs like the new Movie Maker.

Secondly if you are thinking of upgrading or changing your computer’s operating system you can test it before installing it fully.

For those that have no idea about operating systems, and barely can use what they have, don’t bother with VirtualBox, it’s really only for people that know how to use computers . . .

The best thing is that VirtualBox is for all the operating systems, If you have a Mac you can use it, if you have Windows you can use it and if you have Linux you can use it.

It’s recommended that you have at least 2GB of RAM (Random Access Memory) to use this.

What do you think of this blog?

Is it interesting? Does the theme suck? Are there things that need to be addressed?

*Sigh* Now I know the moment you read the word ‘survey’ you probably got that ‘blackmarket’ type feeling, that untrusted feeling.

Well just imagine I said ‘Quiz’ and get on with it.

Song- No One

By- Alicia Keys

Lyrics-

I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don’t worry ’cause
Everything’s gonna to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all i know is everything’s gonna to be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I’m feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don’t worry ’cause
Everything’s gonna to be alright
People keep talking they can say what they like
But all i know is everything’s gonna to be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I’m feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel

I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try try to divide something so real
So till the end of time I’m telling you there ain’t no one

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I’m feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Review- This song shows alot of vocal talent with the depth and the pitching of the singing, the chorus is the catchy part that you will normally get in your head but you don’t know where from.

Overall getting this song stuck in your head is not a bad thing.

Rating- 4.5/5
