Great anti-virus protection.

Advantages: Free and with almost daily updates.
Disadvantages: None for most users.

...Available for free from http://www.grisoft.com ("AVG Free Edition" on the left hand side menu). It requires filling in a quick bit of information to get the serial number e-mailed to you to be able to install this (a bit of a nuisance for a free product, but this program is worth the minor inconvenience). The commercial version is now on version 7 (instead of version 6 for the free one). **My Experience:** I've been using AVG for about 2 years now and recommended it to quite a few friends whenever they ask about anti-virus software (or if I find out they aren't running any even!). It's stopped a couple of viruses from getting onto my computer and hasn't let one slip through yet (keep your virus definitions updated regularly though to be safe!). I used to do a full scan of my computer quite often but AVG has proved to be so reliable...

Review of AVG Anti-virus

Excellent Value virus protection

Advantages: Free and Works
Disadvantages: None so far

...I initially downloaded this product from http://www.grisoft.com/ thinking '..well if it's free it's worth a try. They have been tested by independent testers, and past with flying colours. The computer magazine 'Computer Active' recommends them so give it a go. The download is 4942K, (5MB) and takes around 15 mins to download. The installation is easy, just like installing any software. The product then scans your system, checks your email, then remains in the background checking your computer at boot in Dos, then remains running all the time you do. The virus check can be personalised, and can add a declaration to your email, certifying that it is virus free. When you download programs, or get those frightening attachments in email it will scan and warn. I have used it for some time now, and it has saved me from 2...

  Protect and Perfect

Advantages: It works, fairly inexpensive
Disadvantages: None that I can think of

...I first stumbled across this little miracle cream completely by accident. Approximately six months ago, I bought some Boots No 7 cosmetics, mascara and an eye pencil, if I remember correctly. There was some sort of ?special offer? on at the time, which I wasn?t aware of ? spend £15.00 or more on Boots No 7 cosmetics and you get a free ?gift pack?, consisting of a few different No 7 products, including, nail varnish, moisturising day cream, an eye-brow pencil a make up bag, and Boots No 7 Protect and Perfect Serum. I took my little booty bag home and over the following few weeks, proceeded to work my way through my bag of freebies. Most of the stuff was fairly run-of-the mill, but when I cam to use my Protect and Perfect Serum, it was another matter. My freebie consisted of an extremely small (5ml) tube of Protect and Perfect Serum...

Review of Boots No.7 Protect and Perfect Beauty Serum

Protect and perfect

Advantages: Very moisturising
Disadvantages: Not for oily skin

...No 7 protect and perfect I was on a bit of a cosmetic buying spree the other week, and spurred on by the promise of extra advantage points, I found myself at the Boots No 7 counter. I bought along with a few other items because I was clutching an extra points voucher, a £5 discount voucher and was additionally enticed by the 3 for 2 offer. For a bargain hunter like me, with the ethos "points make prizes", this was retail heaven! **What does this promise to do?** Once again, I am confounded and astounded by the claims, but this one promises " younger looking skin in just 4 weeks". The unique ingredients will smooth lines and wrinkles, reduce the appearance of pores, and liven up your complexion. I can never understand how they can promise this, but am still a sucker for advertising every time. **How does it do this...

Virus Man or Machine

Advantages: Exciting, good special effects, good cast.
Disadvantages: A little weak in the plot department

...Well I just couldn’t resist it, I had to do another film opinion. I recently purchased a VHS copy of Virus. After viewing I decided to check and see if there was listing for it here on Ciao. Happily there was which means that I don’t have to submit one, and then wait three weeks for it to be listed. I read another members opinion on the film and was very confused. The member ‘Caroline Site’ had given Virus a hefty four stars and then progressed to slag off the movie in all her glory, calling it very disappointing. She then ended her op by clicking YES in the recommend to potential buyers column. I don’t mind people having different views on things but you either like something or you don’t. (Sigh) Anyway, on with my one-sided opinion. THE FILM: VIRUS cert 18 Virus starts off...

Review of Virus (DVD)

Protect and shine?

Advantages: Cheap, they do work if used on highest heat setting.
Disadvantages: Doesn't stay straight for long unless used at a very high temperature.

...After my old straightners broke, I went out looking for some new ones. I didn't want anything fancy I just wanted some that would keep my hair straight. I came across these at boots, they were reduced from £49.99 to £24.99. The fancy packaging on them says on the front of the box 'join the shine revolution.' They also claim to 'create no frizz, sleek hair wih up to 70% more protection from hair splitting and damage. Using the words first straightner with high-heat Teflon Woven Fabric ceramic plate technology. The micro-fibre weave, wraps and cushions the hair, striaghtening with kindness and enviable shine.' This really appealed to me as even after using protective heat spray I still use to get some split ends with my old straightners. The straigtners come with heat protective mat which is very useful.as they don...

Review of Remington S 2003 HIGH Protection

A Fair Maiden in Need of Protection...

Advantages: Clean and light, good coverage
Disadvantages: Tricky Spray Top

...I am the daughter of a strawberry blonde and freckly mother who burns on stepping outside and a brown haired father who tans to a gorgeous golden brown enough to make all sun worshippers in a mile radius weep with envy...Which of these genetic traits did I happen to end up with? Of course, my mother! I do have a little more resistance to the sun than my mother however, luckily getting a little something from my father! But I do still need to be extra careful in the sun. I can tan, but I can also burn. To make sure I stay the right shade of pale I should be, without doing my skin any damage, I use Garnier Ambre Solair Clear Protect. I am a keen festival goer and sun cream is always an essential when standing in a field all day in midsummer. What is Clear Protect? ------------------------------- Mostly everyone knows...

Soothing Protection Spray

Advantages: It really works, lasts ages
Disadvantages: None

...I bought this after using and loving the Multi-active toner, but finding that it didn't soothe my skin when I needed it to. It costs around £21 for a 250ml bottle, but as usual shop around and you may be able to find it cheaper. Dermalogica say this ultra-calming spray is formulated with their exclusive 'Anti-Ozonate Complex' to protect skin from reactive ozone while botanicals immediately reduce irritation, redness and inflammation. It shields skin from further environmental assault caused by temperature extremes, pollution, irritating cosmetic products, harsh detergents, chemical exposure, stress, poor diet or hormonal factors. Soothing Green Tea, Canadian Willow Herb, Cucumber, Liquorice and Raspberry extracts deliver potent anti-itching, healing and antioxidant properties. It contains no artificial fragrance or colour, and is...

Review of Dermalogica Soothing Protection Spray

Don't Be Silly, Protect Your Wil... no Computer.

Advantages: Cheap, easy to use, and effective.
Disadvantages: You can have problems if you have previously used AVG Free.

...the installation process and have restarted your computer oh so many times then you?ll find Kaspersky Anti Virus either in your system tray or on your desktop. Click on this and then it?ll load the screen. When you first go on after installing you might be a bit worried when you see that your Anti Virus is red and it?s saying you need to fix it now. We had this problem, but all it takes is you to click Fix Now and then it should be fixed. The main screen when you?re computer is protected is a deep blue and green colour with a white bit in the centre where everything goes on. The main section is the protection section. Here it is all about the protection of computer data against malware, internet fraud and unauthorized access. All of these are very important and if none of them are up to date then you might have problems. Protection To...

Advantages: Complete protection for your system
Disadvantages: None

...*~*~*~* PLEASE excuse the long intro, but I want to get an IMPORTANT message to all computer users in the of this FREE ANTI VIRUS program that is available to all in the UK, which I have to say from experience does a very efficient and effective job of protecting our system from nasty little computer cretins (viruses).*~*~*~* SKIP pass the intro if you wish, but if you are not sure of the damage a VIRUS or HACKER can do to your system then I would advise you to read all if want to know how vulnerable your computer really is! *~*~*~* After the last few weeks we have had it's a wonder that we haven't smashed this computer to tiny pieces and gave up on the internet totally.
