I'm next up to bat.....Go ahead, ask me anything...IF YOU DARE!?

[Blitztech]

Go right ahead, make my day......ask me anything, and I might make the answer a peaceful one....just kidding, but yea feel free to toss out whatever questions you have for me.

If the organisation of a computer desk tells us about a person, what would yours say?

Quit writing notes and scribbles on the calender.....That I am an avid coffee drinker.

[Whyt Lindow]

I have never seen a neater desk...

Can I call you a legend for having a coffee maker next to your desk?

[Blitztech]

You can, I just call it an endless supply of beverage, until I run out of water bottles to fill it up with...

How did you get so good with computers?

How did you get so good with computers?

99% was all self taught, the remaining 1% I got from the questions I asked my cousin. And as for the internet security aspect of the knowledge, I learned that myself, sacrificing my old laptop along the way many, many times, heck I am surprised that it is still running.

It's always quite tricky to give an answer to crescents question.

If reincarnation was a tangible idea, what would like to be reborn as?

Eh, not really for me, that was an easy one to answer.

I would have to say a Peregrine Falcon, because I would like to fly high in the sky one day, and because those birds of prey are a beautiful bird. They are my favorite animal.

If I were to ever have the chance to, I would love to raise one to adulthood.

Between McAfee and Norton, which would you prefer?

Between McAfee and Norton, which would you prefer?

Honestly, I would choose neither of them. I have had bad experiences with products from both companies. And it was 10yrs ago when my family stopped using Norton products, because our brand new computer got infected within 30days after we bought it. Norton has gotten better though, McAfee is just a tad lower on the scale than Norton though.

If you want to know what I am talking about, view the stuff below it will provide some helpful information.

Internet Security Tests and Comparisons run by Matousec

Security products on a 64bit Windows7 platform:

Security products on a 32bit Windows platform:
http://www.matousec.com/projects/proactive-security-challenge/results.php

On both those tests, Norton provided better protection against the threats they tested for.

Tests ran by AV-Comparatives

Anti-Virus performance tests:

As you can see from that test, Norton had less impact on the system than McAfee did in almost all of the tests.


On-Demand Anti-Virus Scan test (right click scans through Windows Explorer)

Whole Product "Real World" testing
http://www.av-comparatives.org/images/stories/test/dyn/wpdt2011_2_en.pdf


The tests from AV-Comparatives, normally just test out the protection of a products Anti-Virus/Anti-Spyware engines. I usually go with the Matousec ratings because it tests everything within a product against many infections that plague normal everyday users.


I hope that helps you a bit LD-Skipper.

Alrighty. Thank you for the links.
My PC has not yet been infected by anything. XD

You're one of the lucky ones then I guess LD-Skipper.

Speaking of viruses, if you were to make one for the lulz, what would it do?

Speaking of viruses, if you were to make one for the lulz, what would it do?

I would have it make the computer continuously loop with a red screen of death (its worse than a bluescreen).

Like this:

And that every time the computer reboots, it deletes an important system file. And the only way to get rid of it, would be to format the infected computer securely with at least a 4pass secure erase method.

Who would be your first victim for the virus attack?

Blitztech: How is life? :cheers:

Blitztech: What was the most heart throbbing time in your life?
The same feeling you get when you are about to make a huge drop from a very fast roller coaster. XD

Myself to see if I could purge it.

:d: :hurt::sob::waah::gasp::sigh: All the emotes in the world wouldn't be able to describe it....lol I have been busy, very very very busy. In the time I was gone (which I humbly apologize for), I went through 3 jobs, got myself a replacement car for my R.I.P 1996 Monte Carlo, and spent some time with a good friend that was going away for a while.

When I confessed my feelings to a friend that was planning on moving to North Carolina with her boyfriend. She rejected the confession, but decided to stay in Michigan, so broke up with him to stay with her friends.

I was still ok with this turn out.
