Windows 7 Launch Party Host
November 11th, 2009 | 
Author: Great news! I was selected by Microsoft to be a Windows 7 launch party host. They sent me party materials and a signature edition of Windows 7 Ulitmate. Windows 7 is pretty nice. It makes me feel pretty good about my OS. I have been using Windows Vista for years and was using it since it came out. Vista worked well for me, but that may be because I have a pretty fast computer and know a few little tweaks for Vista to make it run a bit better. One other thing is that Microsoft released this anti-virus software program called “Microsoft Security Essentials.” It appears to be better than most anti-virus programs. My professional recommendation however is Vipre Anti-virus.

Actually I did install Microsoft Security Essentials because I didn’t really want to pay for security software if it is already offered thru Microsoft and it gives me the protection I need. Well apparently MSE wasnt enough protection because I still have a warning popping up on the screen everytime I open a site and try to sign in, even MSN. I retraced my steps thru the installation process and spent 5 hours trying to figure out what I did wrong. In my opinion it seems that MSE isn’t really user-friendly and I’m just going to go with Warren’s first suggestion and invest in Viper. Thanks ~Mindy Ayres~
