My current Free Anti-Virus Software: Microsoft Security Essentials




I recently moved to Microsoft Security Essentials from Avira for my personal choice for Free based Anti-Virus software. The main issue I had with Avira was the random pop-up's I would get random times that would interfere with some important activities, mainly my Lord of the Rings Online time......during those pop-ups, my game would see a noticable slow down, so I thought it was time to move on from Avira. Other than that small issue, Avira has proved to be good Free based Anti-Virus choice in the past.
It's been about 1 week so far with Microsoft Security Essentials, and it certainly looks I will be keeping this install and letting it continue to run in the background. No unwanted pop-up's or any other type of interferece besides the required memory resources needed to run in the background. So far so good with this one from Microsoft. Definetly a great addition to the line up of available Free Anti-Virus software for Windows based systems.

I recently had to change my on-board drive controller from IDE mode to ACHI mode, due to a new SSD installed. Windows 8.1 was installed with IDE mode by default in BIOS and I had to make the change after this. After attempting to manual change the default set IDE mode to ACHI, in BIOS, I was unable to reboot into my Windows 8.1 install.  After doing a small manual change within the Windows Registry, I was then able to change the on-board drive controller from IDE to ACHI and successfully booted to my newly installed Windows 8.1 environment.  There seems to be a couple different ways to resolve this issue.

I recently purchased the budget Android phone, the Kyocera Risa, by Virgin Mobile and was looking for the best way to Root my device.

I did find an excellent guide to doing this:

How To Root Kyocera Rise v4.0.4 No PC Required

Although the Rise is a bit limited by it's internal hardware, I found that rooting this phone did improve performance as well as opening up various flexible options to other software apps, that would not have been possible otherwise.

The Rise does not support Custom ROMS, unfortunately, but there is some level of customization with apps such as ROM Toolbox, Pimp My Rom and Nova Launcher.
