The team over at the Ultimate Boot CD For Windows has released a new version. The latest version is 3.5 and has several new features and updates. Over the next couple of days I will try to post the new features and software additions. For now you can go download the latest version from the link below. If you get a chance please stop by to thank Ben and his team for their hard work. Without their dedication we would not have this life saving technology tool!

I have posted about this software program once before but it still seems like there are allot of people that are not aware of it. So hopefully I can convince a few more people to go out and try Avast. It currently supports over thirty different languages so just anybody can find Avast useful.
It seems like I have been getting called by allot of family and friends lately that are having virus problems. The first thing I usually do when I start working on their computer is trash their current program they are using for virus protection. Avast Home Edition is a superior product and has helped in every situation I have had to resolve so far. One of the greatest parts is that is is free to home users and I look like the hero because they just got their computer fixed for free.
Avast Home Edition is an ICSA certified antivirus along with being certified anti-spyware and anti-rootkit program. The home edition has on demand scanning, on access scanner, and a boot time scanner. I think that the boot time scanner is probably one of the biggest features since this allows the program to do a deep dive of the system before dangerous virus and spyware programs get loaded into memory.
If you have a home PC I highly recommend trying this program over any other antivirus programs that are out there. Please let me know your experiences with the program.

When it comes to operating systems I have a pretty narrow focus. I mainly use Microsoft operating systems with an occasional install of Ubuntu. Blair Mathis over at laptop logic has written an excellent article on current Linux distros you can use. The article covers Ubuntu, Sabayon, Knoppix, Crunchbang, Puppy Linux, PClinuxOS, Damn Small Linux, and Linux XP Desktop 2008. This article has peaked my curiosity about some of the distros I have never installed before. It looks like I will be doing some virtual installs over the next couple of weeks to see what I have been missing out on. Please go over and read Blair’s article and let me know what you think.
