There is three types of popular free anti-virus software in the Internet world which is AVG, Avira AntiVir and Avast. AVG is more popular among them. However this anti-virus software got certain bug which recognize some software such as iTunes as worm virus. Since that bug mess up my iTunes player, I no longer using it anymore.

Currently I am using Avira AntiVir although it sometimes pop-up the ignore advertisement to ask you buy the professional version of their anti-virus software. Well, the most important it’s free and did not mess up my operating system.

The last and not least, Avast is quite good as well but it required Internet connection to download the software for installation while others do not need to.

If you think free anti-virus software is not good for you, then try paid anti-virus software. I do recommended Kaspersky. It does clean the virus and have user friendly interface on the control panel. Do not use Norton and Symantec. They just earn your money while could not automatically remove the virus completely. Meanwhile, we have to find the removal tool to manual clean it which made us frustrate about it. I ever wonder anyone ever sue them if using their anti-virus software while still getting virus.

I hope my recommendation able to help you to get your own anti-virus software.

Good luck!

This screensaver is a funny thing for me, and even useful. It is Flip style “pata pata” clock screensaver. I was searching it a few years ago and using it these years. Please see following images for Flip style “pata pata” clock screensaver.

FLIQLO just simple and very easy to use. It does not used up much graphic resources like some 3D screensaver, no high specification display card required.

Besides,we can change the setting while the program in running. Use UP/DOWN key to zoom in/zoom out, and LEFT/RIGHT key to change 12/24 – hours format.
However, we can’t change it to analog style.

The installation file only 1.2Mb, and just like others screensaver, setting done at display properties or while program in running.

I used this tool is because it helps me to clean up my hidden junk in my computer system. The best part of it is only contain a very small file size for download and fast when running the cleaner. Besides that, it is easy to use and does not cost me a single penny.

Before you start to install CCleaner at the Install Options, I do recommended you to untick some option as screen shot as below:

Why? Because I personally don’t like too many option when right click on any software properties or option. Furthermore, the two option added from CCleaner into your Recycle Bin does not help much in any optimization. I prefer manual cleaning for Recycle Bin rather than the option provided. The third features in Install Options is just an ignoring toolbar which made your browser a bit slower. So just untick the three option and continue with the installation.

If you often use Windows Run in your start menu, you may untick the Run (in Start Menu) before you start to install this tool. Otherwise it will delete all your text caption in Run.

If you are too lazy for manual clean up, you can automate the cleaning by select the Run CCleaner when the computer starts at the Options > Settings. This option will help to clean your junk when you start your computer.

In addition, you can clean the broken register key (Registry Editor a.k.a. regedit) at Registry.

There are other features such as Uninstall, StartUp and System Restore also available in CCleaner.
