Go Figure

It looks like Sophos, an antivirus company based in England, is trying to commit suicide. They have recommended home users should switch to Macs (ROFLMAO!!!). An article over at ArsTechnica by Jeremy Reimer tries to explain it all and flops around trying to justify such a move. Hey dude, you are WRONG, WRONG, WRONG. It's no secret that I like this site and am in agreement with most of their findings. Not this time. It's all very simple. The more marketshare that Apple Macs obtain there is little doubt that virus infections and other nasties will grow for that platform. Evil does not care about brands. The answer? Use the more affordable Windows PCs and switch to the Firefox web browser instead of Internet Explorer. Also, install the software that I have recommended down through the ages to protect your PC. Then UPDATE. The software is useless without the updates. And don't forget to scan.

Had an email (name not used per request) asking which version of GuildWars should be purchased first. There are two - Guild Wars and Factions. They are both stand alone. The answer here is, hands down, Guild Wars. While Factions is a wonderful part of the game, Guild Wars was first and outlines the "history" of the game. They are based on two different continents, but when Factions is added characters can sail between both continents. It's my opinion that anyone running just Factions is missing out.
