- Who is like a virtuous woman? her price is far above rubies
- She looketh well to the ways of her household
These days, I don't really have a really blogger-friendly lifestyle. We don't have internet at home, so if I want to post something on my blog, I have to haul my bulky, seven-year-old laptop either to my parent's house, the library, or my office on the days I work at church.
And did I mention that I have a bulky, not to mention heavy, seven-year-laptop?
I have given up trying to keep it updated, and, not only that, unwilling to put any more money into it, I've been living dangerously and running it without internet protection or anti-virus.
Gasp!
Yes, yes I have.
So when I had an opportunity to try a new internet security software from VIPRE for free, I jumped at the chance!
The first step I did was to disable and uninstall my old anti-virus, and then I clicked on the link and started to download the new VIPRE software.
It was a very quick and easy download...
...as you can see, it only took a couple of minutes, even on my slow old computer.
The installation took a little longer...
...but nothing out of the ordinary.
I could do other things while it was downloading and installing.
As with most software, the next step was a restart...
...and was congratulated on a successful install!
The software seemed very user-friendly and self-explanatory...
...and checking for updates is easy, as well.
I've only been using this software for a little over a week, but so far, so good. One of the things I like about the VIPRE software is that it doesn't seem to bog my computer down, even as old as this one is, the way some of my previous anti-virus software has done in the past.
You can visit their website and check it out yourself, the prices are comparable to other antivirus and internet security software, and there's even a free 30-day trial version you can download and try-before-you-buy.
This post was sponsored by Vipre software, who provided the software to me for free, but I did the download, install, and update all myself, very easily, and the opinions expressed are my very own.
Until next time...
I like the idea of not bogging the computer down. One of the reasons I haven't been posting or commenting very much anymore is because my computer has become so pokey. I have the worst luck with computers, maybe it's just me. When I download anything it takes forever and I give up in frustration only to have my son come in and it works perfectly for him. Can't understand. Just hit the same buttons as he did! Just got an e-mail yesterday that my Norton subscription will expire soon, so your information is timely. Thanks Charlene!
ReplyDeleteGlad this came at a good time for you! I feel you about the pokey computer! Mine is so frustrating at times, I wonder sometimes if I'd be better off just staying off the computer completely! I've been debating just dropping out of blogging completely or maybe taking a hiatus. I really enjoy it when I have the time and the internet access to do it well, but as I said, it gets so frustrating at times that I wonder if it's worth the aggravation!
DeleteHa! I always say if I don't get into heaven it will be the computer's fault, if you catch my drift, Charlene. I really think some vile little thought toward it. Like taking it up to the roof and dropping it off or putting it under the wheel of the truck and driving over it. Seriously, I'd really miss you if you were to quit blogging. Been up since 7 canning today and had to sit down for a while, it's 3:30. I'm beat!
DeleteWe're done with the garden at this point, everything is dried up or burned up in this heat. I would miss you, too! I keep thinking about stopping blogging, but then I see something and think "that would make a good post". Just frustrated at the lack of opportunity. I think I've decided to just roll with it--blog when I can, and don't worry about when I can't! And try to stop getting mad at the computer!!
