Windows 7: How Sweet It Is!

Ah, sweeet!

…well, that’s all i have to say ’bout that right now. as you might expect, there will be more; much more on this topic, momentarily.

for those who have been wishing for “that sort of thing”, i’ve got several Alt+Print-Screen captures going on here– all step-by-step sort’a, here’s what this looks like kind’a, what you should know ’bout’a, lemme save you some time, won’t-ya?– so, do return in a while to see what that’s all about.

for now, i have one word for any fellow windows 7 users who seek the primary operating system security software, such as an anti-virus solution, and a 3rd-party firewall: Kaspersky 8.

Actually, Kaspersky apparently have yet to officially name it version “8″– as it’s written nowhere that i see, upon going there to get the URL for you, but have a look at this file name. Instead (at the time of writing), the name is: technical preview of Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Windows 7, and the word Prototype is used instead of preview at least once– so, clearly the name is indefinite.

Maybe you can see where i came up w/ that Kaspersky 8 business. Note: copying and pointing your ftp client, or web browser to this URL should invoke the file transfer you wish– that is, if you wish to transfer the setup file for this Kaspersky system security suite. ftp://ftp.kaspersky.com/beta/kavwks8.0_for_windows7/kavwks8.0.0.1015en.exe )

Click it. Reveal more rap [ Re: SPF ]

Hey!, are you currently (or formerly) a fan, loyal to the great Sygate Personal Firewall? (or Sygate Personal Firewall Pro, or other Sygate firewall for Windows XP, 2000, NT). I have some good news for you. So far, from my experience with the Kaspersky firewall, it is not entirely unfamiliar to me– oh, yeah, because I use Sygate Personal Firewall on Windows XP– and I’ve never (before today) been happy with any other 3rd-party network firewall software because of the perfectly sensible, Safe-Network-Traffic Filter Learning approach it takes to IP addresses, as well as applications by executable identification (my phrase, not from Sygate– however, mine is influenced here by my recent experience with Kaspersky– which uses a similar term. In my opinion, the nomenclature is ideal for the design).

I realize it’s common design, that a Firewall (or a solution of designated rules for network traffic control) might automatically create filtering Rules, so I am not quite ridiculous in that regard– but what I find remarkably similar between Kaspersky and Sygate is the manner in which the network traffic data is presented to the user, so he or she is able to make an educated decision; whether to reply, “Yes” or “No” when suggested filtering rules are presented. SPF has been officially unavailable for years– since Norton bought the company, yet discontinued that fine product– so, I’m defintely pleased to finally find a viable, moreover, current alternative.
