Get Protected
Computer became part of our life, we use it everyday for checking e-mails, social sites, watching videos on youtube, share information with our family and friends. We value our privacy and our information and would not want someone we did not trust with it to use it. That is why we have to have good anti-virus program installed on our computers. Good antivirus program cost about $60 per year... Is there anyway we can avoid paying that much? Yes, we can! This blog is about how can we get protected, and for some Internet users it is for FREE.

Free in-home wireless broadband service throught the toilet by Google.
I could not believe what I saw today in the internet. Google provides, the funniest, free wireless broadband for your home. It's old joke but I did not know about it earlier. So, if you one of those who didn't know about it, check it out http://www.google.com/tisp/
Google TiSP (BETA) is a fully functional, end-to-end system that provides in-home wireless access by connecting your commode-based TiSP wireless router to one of thousands of TiSP Access Nodes via fiber-optic cable strung through your local municipal sewage lines.
Installing a typical home TiSP system is a quick, easy and largely sanitary process -- provided you follow these step-by-step instructions very, very carefully.

Google Chrome Browser
First program that I want to introduce is Google Chrome Browser.
I started using it when it first launched.
I want to list couple things that I like about Google Chrome.
First, we live in very fast productive world, and that's what we want that our Internet Browser work fast, to check our emails, and to visit our social networking websites. Google Chrome is one of the fastest browser.
Second, when our identity is so important and our computers hold so many important information, we don't want no one to break it. Chrome gives you ability to explore the web safe.
Third, with Chrome exploring the web is easier. Since we are using different search engines so much, the address bar that sits at the top of the normal Chrome window simplifies our Internet experience by doubling as a search box.
Fourth, "Spell-checker option", now you don't have to click spell check every time because Chrome checks it automatically. That's one of the functions I need when I explore the Internet.
Finally, simpler downloads. When you download a file from a website, the downloads bar appears at the bottom of the tab where you can monitor the progress of your downloading file. The file button indicates the size of the download and the amount of time remaining until the completion of the download. An arrow appears in the tab to signify a download in progress.
If you interested exploring this software here is the link to download
What web browser do you use, and what do you like about it?
