Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware, In the News, and Enjoy

Anti-Virus and Anti-Malware

- I often observe—without surprise—that many clients employ no anti-virus nor anti-malware protection. Many buy new computers with trial versions of Norton or McAfee products installed, and when the trial periods end, these users simply ignore this and continue prowling the Internet without concern. They soon find their systems infected and are unjustifiably surprised.

Others simply do not recognize the peril of operating a computer without anti-virus and anti-malware applications installed.

Similarly, many smartphone and tablet users ignore the lack of security which faces them and operate their Android, Windows, or iOS mobile devices without concern for security.

There are also those who do recognize the necessity to properly address the virus and malware threats and seek guidance regarding what applications to use. I routinely share what applications I use and recommend, and I shall present this information here:

On our three desktop and two laptop Windows 7 systems, I use Microsoft Security Essentials. This is a wonderful application that is offered free from Microsoft.

I also use Malwarebytes Anti-Malware on all my Windows systems.
This is an extremely powerful security application that is capable of finding and removing threats that are not addressable otherwise.

On our two Android smartphones and our four Android tablets, I use AVG to protect them from virus and malware threats. The AVG mobile application is free and additionally locates lost phones.

Gun-free Zones

Gun-free Zones - "Gun-free zones" are supposed to be safer. I shudder, cringe, and enter a state of near paranoia whenever I enter one, since I am fairly confident only criminals will be armed within the confines of that area.

Ted Nugent—rock legend and pro-gun advocate—said: "Gun-free zones are recipe for disaster. Zero tolerance, huh? Gun-free zones, huh? Try this on for size: Columbine gun-free zone, New York City pizza shop gun-free zone, Luby's Cafeteria gun-free zone, Amish school in Pennsylvania gun-free zone and now Virginia Tech gun-free zone.

Anybody see what the evil Brady Campaign and other anti-gun cults have created? I personally have zero tolerance for evil and denial. And America had best wake up real fast that the brain-dead celebration of unarmed helplessness will get you killed every time, and I've about had enough of it."

Rep. Steve Stockman (R-TX) has introduced a bill to repeal the "Gun-Free School Zones Act" of 1990 (updated in 1995) on the grounds that mass shootings at schools have increased five-fold since its passage.

The "Safe Schools Act of 2013" (H.R.35), co-sponsored by Rep Broun, Paul C. [GA-10] notes that the 1990 "gun-free" law has made schools unsafe because "shooters now know that they can victimize American school campuses with no fear that victims will be armed."

Stockman's bill notes that there have been 10 school shootings killing at least four people each in the 22 years since the "gun-free" bill passed - compared to only two in the 22 years before passage.

What's more, "Horrific massacres on school campuses in Pearl, Mississippi, and southwestern Virginia, were averted by armed staff and students," it says.

Given that "the 'Gun Free School Zones Act' has been a deadly failure," H.R.35 says it will "restore safety to America's schools by allowing staff, teachers, and administrators to defend the children and themselves."

NRA Executive Vice President Wayne LaPierre said, "How do we protect our children right now, starting today, in a way that we know works? The only way to answer that question is to face up to the truth. Politicians pass laws for Gun-Free School Zones. They issue press releases bragging about them. They post signs advertising them. And in so doing, they tell every insane killer in America that schools are their safest place to inflict maximum mayhem with minimum risk."
