Windows 7: Set default printers based on location

Are you tired of manually changing your default printer on your laptop, depending on which network you’re on ? Did you know that Windows 7 can set default printers based on your location (i.e., the network to which you’re connected) ? No? Well you do now, and here’s how: Click the Start button and open “Devices and Printers” (you find it in the right Start Menu pane). In the Devices and Printers interface, select the printer you want to use on the first network Click Manage default printers on the toolbar. Check the box to “Change my default printer when I change networks“. Select the network for which you want this printer to be the default, from the Drop-Down list. Repeat the procedure for each network, then click OK to save your changes. And that’s it

Antivirus Free vs Pay

Four basic levels of antivirus products exist: free, paid antivirus, suites,

and "premium" suites. As you move up the ladder from free antivirus to
premium suites, you typically get more features, such as identity theft
protection, firewalls, parental controls, and system performance tools.

Free antivirus software usually provides a bare minimum level of protection.
It will scan for malware, and often can perform automatic scans, too. Some
free apps may have additional protection tools such as a browser add-on that
checks for bad links--and

ty_premium_50.html ; Comodo's free Internet Security Premium has a firewall.
But such features are usually limited to paid antivirus products. Some free
apps offer behavioral malware detection, which finds malware based on how it
acts on your PC--a good way of detecting brand-new malware outbreaks.
(Behavioral detection is standard on paid products.)

Paid antivirus straddles a middle ground between the basic freebies and the
feature-packed security suites: They typically offer more comprehensive
security tools (such as parental controls and identity theft protection) and
more flexibility than a free antivirus package, but they have fewer
additional features than suites, which are intended to be one-stop security
shops. The only thing you need to take care of is that the suites can bog
your machine down unnecessarily as they do continual background and update
checks. The 2 biggest culprits of the background checks are Norton and
Kaspersky. However when it comes to detection they are both good.

One of the biggest drawbacks to going with a free product is the lack of
technical support. While most companies offer some sort of phone support for
paying customers, free antivirus users usually must fend for themselves.
Avast does offer e-mail support for its free customers; most others provide
only a knowledge base or forum where users can go for help.

Another tradeoff is that free antivirus products often have some sort of
advertisement for the company's paid product.
<http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/product/730544/review/avast_free_antivirus_5
.html> Avast Free Antivirus has an upgrade link in the upper-right corner of
the main window, and
<http://www.pcworld.com/reviews/product/730545/review/avira_antivir_personal
_free_antivirus_10.html> Avira AntiVir Personal will display an ad for
Avira's paid antivirus software.

How about malware signature updates? The security software companies I spoke
to tell me that they treat their free and paid products the same as far as
signature updates are concerned, although there may be some under-the-hood
differences between their free and paid products (as is the case with
Panda's software, for example). And one company, Avast, says that its free
product is intended for average users, and that its paid antivirus is for
more advanced users.

On the other hand, free products do give you some flexibility. You can
augment a free tool's basic security with countless security utilities. For
instance, you can start with Avast Free Antivirus, and Malware Solutions

Here is a comparison chart of AntiVirus Software and Summay of products can
be found on the following site. Just remember the best practice is to make
sure your antivirus software is always up to date.

Synching Data between PC's

There are files from all kinds of sources that we want to store and manage. Files are created by our digital cameras, e-mail, cell phones, portable media players, camcorders, PDAs, and laptops. Increasingly, computer users are using different folders, drives, and even different computers (such as a laptop and a desktop) to store, manage, retrieve and view files. Yet managing hundreds or thousands of files is still largely a manual operation. In some cases it is necessary to regularly get copies of files from another location to add to primary location; in other cases there is a need to keep two storage locations exactly in sync. Some users manage files manually, dragging and dropping from one place to another and keeping track of whether the locations are synchronized in their heads. Other users may use two or more applications to provide this functionality.

Below are a couple of easy to use solutions for the basic to the most savvy of computer users and the best part is they are free.
