It was supposed to provide an all in one Antivirus, Antispyware , firewall solution and retails at $80. I installed it on a beast of a machine, plenty of memory, processor power exceeding stated requirements but Norton 360 managed to slow it down to a crawl rendering WinXP virtually unusable for up to 5 minutes after boot up and intermittently thereafter. I think it safe to say that up to that point we had not experienced a virus attack or security breach that caused as much chaos!

And ironically after installing Norton 360 the machine was promptly infected with the Netsky virus.

Thanks a bunch Norton!! What happened to that company?

Anyway bye bye Norton 360.

Why pay money for such shoddy software when you can get the most important elements free?

Try the following:

For your Antivirus software, download and install AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition.

For your firewall software, download and install ZoneAlarm® Free Firewall.

Lastly to handle Spyware download and install the Ad-Aware 2007 Free

I have used these for some time, they work great AND and work with WinXP, not against it. Are you listening Norton?

“Web : unable to complete operation”

It only occurred on webpages with server side scripting, like login pages etc.

The only way I could get past this error was a hardware reset of the phone.

“Turn off the mobile device. Then press and hold “3?, the “Green button” and “*” – Turn on and keep holding the keys untill the mobile phone restarts and prompts you to enter details.”

Thanks to Abdul Aziz for reset commands.

Be warned though, a hardware reset will delete all your files on the mobile, your SMS messages, your saved preferences and any applications you’ve added fortunately. So use as a last resort.

The neat thing is if some one out there signs up to blogrush from the box below, my post will be promoted on their blogrush box. And if someone else signs up from that persons blogrush, my posts will be promoted on their blog too. And if another person signs up from that person who signed up from the person……
You get the idea.

That’ll sort it.

Now I want to download the album. I know I could install iTunes and I might find the album through that. As for other services, a quick google search returned a smattering of music download sites but they unfortunately didn’t have the album available.

But there must be more options other than Apple’s iTunes for purchasing and downloading albums. Right?

If you know of a quality website for purchasing music please let me know.

As an after thought. A company called Hash 6 who whom we share the same building offer a service whereby upon having heard the song on the radio, you could text the radio station and the song would be saved for you to purchase and download at a later stage.

Now that would have been handy.

Can anyone get Yahoo.com? Can’t browse to it.
