That Computer Show

Hey out there, we just put together bits and pieces of dead robots and ducktape to get That Computer Show live on the net direct from our headquarters of DOOM deep inside a mountain (not really).  We are still working on getting the streams right for ALL platforms.  Here are a few useful links for our friends on different platforms:

On a Windows computer you should use this link:  Click Here

On Mac this should open our show in iTunes:  Click Here

For Linux users click either one.  They should just work.  Muhahahah.

UPDATE:   Hey if you have an iPhone or and iPod touch you can listen to us on it with the SHOUTcast app from the app store.  More about that here.

Sometimes popular antivirus programs like McAfee and Norton Antivirus are damaged from viruses that sneak through, bad installs, botched software upgrades, or just too many antivirus apps on one machine. In those cases it’s best to remove them from the affected systems.  Norton and McAfee both provide tools to perform a manual removal.  I would even run these tools after I used the standard uninstallers.  Before we can run these tools, We have to get them from the Internet first.

• Norton (http://www.symantec.com/index.jsp) Search for “Norton Removal Tool” on thier site.  For Norton, follow the first two steps if you plan on upgrading or reinstalling their products.
• McAfee (https://us.mcafee.com/root/ProductUpdate.asp?cid=35172) McAfee Consumer Product Removal tool is listed under solution 2.  Not the easiest to find on thier site. 
• Major Geeks (http://www.majorgeeks.com/).  You can find both tools listed there.

Now with the tools in hand, let’s run them.  It’s pretty straight foward, just follow the steps on the screen.  Once they are completed I would reboot the computer to make sure the uninstall is complete.  The computer is now ready for the installation or reinstallation of the antivirus software of your choice.  My personal recommendation would be found at http://www.grisoft.com/. We use AVG at That Computer Store daily, and also offer it for sale on our custom built computers. The retail version is great, and they also have a free version for personal, non-business use.

I hope that helps aleviate some of your virus woes!
