[quote who="starkers" reply="16" id="3190947"]Fracking Yahoo Mail... wouldn't touch it with a 20ft pole,[/quote] My wife has a yahoo acct but she says she only uses it to play the games they have. I'm kind of surprised it's still used at all. In all the tech sites I follow, I see update articles for dozens of email services, web and desktop, and I honestly can't remember the last time I saw one for Yahoo or anyone saying putting Yahoo above any other web email service.

[quote who="Zubaz" reply="10" id="3190894"]Use something like LastPass to generate better passwords.[/quote] LAST PASS ROCKS! And it's free for your laptop and desktop. (Mobile version has a monthly fee of 1.99) I finally got my wife to use it and she loves it for creating passwords and the convenience of the automatic log-ins. Also that it requires a master password to access it, so all her passwords are secure if her laptop is stolen or lost.

[quote who="Island Dog" reply="10" id="3189053"]Photoshop may be "overpriced", but not much can compare to it. [/quote] I agree. I don't know if it's because I am used to PS, but I have tried some other programs and just can't seem to either get the feel for it or like the results.

I like the whole premise, but $30.00 a month? We still argue over the 14.99 for WoW and whether it's played that much compared to PS3 or XBox in our house. Do they offer a 'lifetime' membership, like WoW or STOL? (Not trying to compare gaming to Adobe)

[quote]It’s an excellent piece of software which you can configure to run automatically or just on demand. It has lots of tools (more than 20) and features. For a good, in depth review head on over. You can configure the Antivirus component as a first line of defense or in ‘compatibility’ mode and it will update to latest definitions during installation.
