Scareware, aka fake antivirus, as you may know, is a form of malware usually obtained from a malicious Internet website, that displays ominous warning messages on your PC that states you have been infected with malware. It usually runs a fake malware scan and warns that it has found a very dangerous malware that it will remove for a price. In many cases, the computer is locked up during this process and
To my readers, this article from a fellow blogger is most important. Have you ever heard of SCAREWARE??? I bet many of you have experienced it and had no idea what the tech term for it was called. As a matter of fact, it would be interesting to know if you ever been a victim of scareware. If so, let us know via the comments below. I would love to hear your story.

When you throw software and me (Rick) into the mix, it is all about productivity and efficiency. Today I was happy to see two of my favorite FREE productivity software packages get major version upgrades (not that they needed it).
The first one is WordWeb that has been upgraded to Version 7.0. If you do not have WordWeb on your computer you are missing out on one of the best English thesaurus and dictionaries for Windows.
WordWeb is a one-click English thesaurus and dictionary for Windows that can look up words in almost any program. It works off-line, but can also look up words in web references such as the Wikipedia encyclopedia. Features of the free version include:
Definitions and synonyms
Related words
5000 audio pronunciations
65 000 text pronunciations
150 000 root words
120 000 synonym sets
Look up words in almost any program
The second one is Kingsoft Office Suite that has been upgraded to Kingsoft Office Suite 2013 (9.1.0.4056). I recently posted articles about Kingsoft, with the most recent being The Poor Man’s Microsoft Office. Save your money and try this out. It is very compatible with Microsoft Office.
Kingsoft Office Suite Free 2013 is perhaps the most versatile free office suite, which includes free word processor, spreadsheet program and presentation maker. These three programs help you deal with office tasks with ease:
Writer – Efficient word processor;
Presentation – Multimedia presentations creator;
Spreadsheets – Powerful tool for data processing and data analysis
Although it is a free suite, Kingsoft Office comes with many innovative features, including a paragraph adjustment tool, and multiple tabbed feature. It also has Office to PDF converter, automatic spell checking and word count features. In this latest version, new features such as watermark in document, and converting PowerPoint to Word documents are also supported.

Below you will find two videos that shows the evolution of Windows.
The first video depicts Windows being upgraded and installed on a PC, beginning with Windows 1.0 and ending up with Windows 8. The second video displays various Microsoft Windows commercials that were made to sell Microsoft Windows, from Windows 1.0 and ending up with Windows 8. I really got a kick out of the first several commercials, due they remind me of today’s infomercials where they are yelling at you…

Logitech is the best when it comes to the computer keyboard and mouse. One of their keyboard innovations that is quite impressive (in customer reviews) and is couch friendly is the Wireless Touch Keyboard K400 with Built-In Multi-Touch Touchpad.
The reason I call this a couch friendly keyboard is because you can connect your laptop (and some tablets) to your TV and control the laptop from the comfort of your couch. The K400 has a range of approximately 33 feet (10 meters) and the best part is that it has a touchpad built right into the keyboard to control the functions of the mouse.
Long-range wireless control
Built-in large touchpad with intuitive Windows 8 gesture support
Plug-and-play simplicity
12-month battery life**
