Computers are wonderful things when they work. When they don’t, the world comes crashing down. A lot of crashes are because of bugs. We’ve innocently downloaded malicious software, spy ware, or other nasty files onto our machine. Then minutes, days, or months later we realize our mistake and the pain kicks in.
If you don’t have anti-virus software, or aren’t happy with yours, check out the AVG Free anti-virus program. They also have an AVG LinkScanner for Mac. The free software has free 24/7 technical support, the capability to make sure your downloads are safe and it can detect rootkits hidden deep inside your operating system.
The Pro version of the AVG software is $35 or free when you buy a product through one of their partner sponsors. The idea is you buy something you want, like a Netflix subscription or a pair of Gap jeans, then get the software for free.
Want to know more? Virus expert Steve Armstrong, who is not affiliated with AVG, talks about how the mean people who write virus’ are getting more clever and better at spreading bugs. Armstrong says going forward there are going to be more virus’ aimed at collecting sensitive data (like your credit card number) through social media sites.

Paying $40 for a good haircut or color is not a bad deal in LA at all. This week’s Los Angeles Daily D is for an $85 cut or color at Miakel Bishay Salon in the hip part of Santa Monica. You pay just $40 – a 53% discount off the original price.
The way it works is you buy a voucher, make an appointment, and bring the voucher in to get the discount. It’s a good idea to mention you are paying with the voucher when booking an appointment.
This deal expires Saturday, June 26 at 11:59 p.m. PST or as soon as the 100 discounted vouchers are purchased. You have until September 30, 2010 to use it.
Caveats: offer for new clients only. One per person. No cash value; no change or partial credits will be issued. Offer cannot be combined with other offers, and is subject to Miakel Bishay Salon’s policies.
This is not paid content, however I earn a commission on every purchase made through Daily D.
