Charley Moore, Founder and CEO of <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=72928&#038;u=143703&#038;m=11719&#038;urllink=&#038;afftrack=">RocketLawyer.com</a></p>
<p>What are the advantages of a standard legal form?<br />
For consumers, everyone should have a Last Will and Testament, and the document should be reviewed and updated on a regular basis. Preparing and maintaining your will doesn’t have to be time consuming, difficult, or costly. Knowing that an hour of an attorney’s time can cost $200 or more, many people put off preparing their wills. However, you don’t have to use the services of an attorney to create an effective will. You and the other members of your family can create your own online legal will easily and inexpensively. For busy professionals, having access to online business legal forms can be very beneficial. There are so many different kinds of legal documents that business owners and managers need at different times that it can be hard to keep up with paper copies of necessary forms. Instead of trying to keep a file cabinet filled with samples of all the business legal forms you might need, it can be much more efficient to utilize our &#8220;Online Legal Forms&#8221; and &#8220;Online Document Storage&#8221; for your legal documentation needs.</p>
<p>How are your forms different than other standard forms that are available at office supply stores?<br />
<a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=72928&#038;u=143703&#038;m=11719&#038;urllink=&#038;afftrack=">RocketLawyer.com</a> forms are created and stored online. They can be accessed from any computer, anywhere.</p>
<p>What are the most frequently used standard legal forms?<br />
Our most popular legal forms can be found at <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=72928&#038;u=143703&#038;m=11719&#038;urllink=&#038;afftrack=">www.RocketLawyer.com</a>. The top ten personal legal forms on RocketLawyer.com are:</p>
<p>* Living Will<br />
* Last Will and Testament<br />
* Power of Attorney<br />
* Prenuptial Agreement<br />
* Automobile Bill of Sale<br />
* Promissory Note<br />
* Living Trust<br />
* Joint Living Trust<br />
* Child Care Authorization<br />
* Bill of Sale</p>
<p>The top ten business legal forms on RocketLawyer.com are:</p>
<p>* Non-disclosure Agreement<br />
* Certificate of Incorporation for Delaware<br />
* Corporate Minutes<br />
* Corporate Bylaws<br />
* Service Contract<br />
* License Agreement<br />
* Employee Agreement<br />
* Confidentiality Agreement<br />
* Release of Liability<br />
* Real Estate Lease form</p>
<p>Is a standard legal form as effective legally as a customized document prepared by an attorney?<br />
Rocket Lawyer has all the resources you need to finalize your legal document: from our unique Make it Legal™ checklist to our innovative Click-through Legal Review™ process. <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=72928&#038;u=143703&#038;m=11719&#038;urllink=&#038;afftrack=">RocketLawyer.com</a> helps make your document legal.</p>
<p>Are the forms recognized by the laws in all 50 states?<br />
After you complete the interview process, <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=72928&#038;u=143703&#038;m=11719&#038;urllink=&#038;afftrack=">RocketLawyer.com’s</a> Make It Legal™ checklist will appear with final steps to legalize the document. This may include instructions for signing, witnesses, notarization and more to make your document legal. The Make It Legal™ checklist ensures that your document is complete and legally binding.</p>
<p>Should a person consult a lawyer before they complete a standard legal form?<br />
A person should consult an attorney when they are unsure of their legal position. <a href="http://www.shareasale.com/r.cfm?b=72928&#038;u=143703&#038;m=11719&#038;urllink=&#038;afftrack=">RocketLawyer.com </a>customers who use online legal forms should read all the reference materials available to them before beginning.</p>
<p>When should a person use a form and when should a person have an attorney prepare a customized document?<br />
A person should consult an attorney when they are unsure of their legal position.<br />
Legal Forms Are Not Legal Advice</p>
<p>Printable legal forms are a convenient way to have a basic legal document. They are also economical versus the cost that would be incurred if a lawyer was asked to prepare a customized form. Even with this convenience and economy, legal forms should not be viewed as 100 percent accurate in every legal situation for the following reasons:</p>
<p>* Laws change and the form may not reflect the most current law.<br />
* Laws are different from city-to-city and state-to-state.<br />
* Forms are designed to cover the most common legal situations, and they will not fit every situation.</p>
<p>Legal forms can be an excellent alternative to paid legal services for many of the basic legal needs. Be sure to review the form completely. If you find that the form does not specifically address your legal situation, avoid the urge to write in information to make the form more customized to fit your situation. Instead, you should consult a licensed attorney.</p>

discuss  Total posts: 1</p>
<p>Last year, I didn&#8217;t give <a  href='http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/4149/CD116907/' target="_blank">roxio</a> Creator 2009 an Editors&#8217; Choice, as I had previous versions of the media suite: it crashed too often, and the interface, although improved, was still a confusing jumble of options. But Creator 2010 ($99.99 list) gives <a  href='http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/4149/CD116907/' target="_blank">roxio</a> a good opportunity to reclaim its position. This year&#8217;s suite includes CinemaNow, the online movie service <a  href='http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/4149/CD116907/' target="_blank">roxio</a> acquired in 2008. Also new are a burning desktop widget, Web video capture, AVCHD archiving, and the ability to pause and schedule long conversion tasks. Plus, it&#8217;s fully compatible with Windows 7.</p>
<p>Installation<br />
I installed the suite on a pristine Windows 7 Ultimate machine with a 3-GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 250GB hard drive. Installation is improved, taking just 10 minutes, ahead of Nero 9 Reloaded&#8217;s 12 minutes on the same PC. I wondered if it was just because I was using a faster system, but when I ran the install on last year&#8217;s test system, a 2GHz Athlon dual-core system with 2GB RAM, it was still much quicker: 24 minutes, compared with Creator 2009&#8242;s 40 and Nero&#8217;s 35.<br />
I was, however, disappointed that I couldn&#8217;t choose which suite components to install (Nero now lets me), and that <a  href='http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/4149/CD116907/' target="_blank">roxio</a> still installs the Google Toolbar by default. A hundred-dollar app shouldn&#8217;t do that. Though the standard version of <a  href='http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/4149/CD116907/' target="_blank">roxio</a> burns Blu-ray data discs, to author movie Blu-ray discs, you need the Pro version, which costs $129.99. Pro also gets you more sophisticated soundtrack tools, disaster recovery, and more advanced photo-editing tools.</p>
<p>Interface<br />
I quickly noticed that Creator grants Windows a Mac OS feature I&#8217;ve always thought Microsoft should add: displaying a desktop icon when you insert a disc into your drive. Clicking once on the disc gadget drops down a menu offering to copy or eject the disc, and right-clicking or clicking again on a small down arrow drops down more options. The interface resembles last year&#8217;s, but with much less clutter. The home screen offers big icons for the seven most popular functions: Burn data disc, burn image disc, copy disc, burn audio discs, create DVDs, edit video, and copy and convert video. These icons change to match your actual usage.</p>
<p>The first four choices use the same window as the start interface; the rest show up-curved arrows to indicate that they launch another program. Sadly, several of the suite&#8217;s sub-apps, like the Media Manager and PhotoSuite, retain outdated interfaces. I still prefer how Nero&#8217;s launcher closes and reappears when you run another program in the suite; <a  href='http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/4149/CD116907/' target="_blank">roxio</a>&#8216;s works as an independent app. I do appreciate that you can just start any major suite component from the Windows Start menu. Another plus is that you can do more right from the home interface, like burn disc images. And the top of each sub-page in the start app now shows the top three actions for each category: e.g., the Music Audio page shows Burn Audio CDs, Rip, and Digitize LPs and Tapes</p>
<p>Video Editing<br />
I encountered my first error message when importing video from my iPhone with <a  href='http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/4149/CD116907/' target="_blank">roxio</a> Media Import. That&#8217;s depressing, but overall I got far fewer errors than in the previous version. The same app works for importing both images and videos. My workaround was to import from the Photo page. This meant, however, that my videos were in the Pictures folder rather than in Videos. And for some reason, it didn&#8217;t import the PNG images on the iPhone.</p>
<p>The advanced digital movie editor hasn&#8217;t changed much. It can add tons of effects and transitions to your cinematic creations. One notable lack is the ability to rotate video. Most of us have used a point-and-shoot camera or iPhone sideways or upside down to shoot a video. Most popular software—and even some free software (including Picasa)—can rotate video to fix this. It&#8217;s overdue in <a  href='http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/4149/CD116907/' target="_blank">roxio</a>.</p>
<p>The suite&#8217;s much-improved CineMagic app makes it easy to create video compilations. CineMagic takes you through a three-step process that combines your footage and photos, and adds background music and titles. New this year, you can select scenes from within your clips. You can even have the selector window automatically highlight scenes that are dark, fuzzy, or those that include action or people. It&#8217;s not perfect, however—it missed that one talking head video contained people. I had 16 style choices for my instant movie, from baby to Xtreme. After choosing one, all that was left was picking a title and subtitle and setting the target length.</p>
<p>If you want to do more customization, the software offers more effects and transitions, including 37 in 3D, and a remarkable 99 special effects, from Abstract Stretch to Whirls and Waves. On top of this, you can choose from 37 overlays to add, such as frames and textures, and you can even create custom ones. Over 50 text styles are available for your titles and captions, and you can add your own audio or canned audio as a background soundtrack.</p>
<p>The previous version of Creator hiccupped when I made movies combining standard- and high-definition clips, creating an unviewable result. I&#8217;m happy to report that this time around I mixed content of all resolutions without a problem. Using the suite&#8217;s powerful VideoWave digital move editor, I successfully mixed MP4, MOV, WMV, and AVCHD MTS in the same production.</p>
<p>I&#8217;m still disappointed that CineMagic forces you to choose an audio track to replace the original video&#8217;s audio track, which is automatically erased. Even the fledgling, entry-level Corel Digital Studio 2010 lets you mix the original sound with a musical soundtrack in its automatic productions.</p>
<p>Once all your clips and effects are just how you want them, the Output menu gives you welcome new choices: share online, and Send to MyDVD. The workflow to disc authoring was something I&#8217;d missed in the last version. In the online sharing option, you can sign into your YouTube account right from VideoWave. The exporter created a YouTube-compatible version of my clip in a mere 3 minutes.</p>
<p>Authoring DVDs<br />
MyDVD offers over 50 DVD menu styles, so you&#8217;re likely to find one that&#8217;s appropriate. You can have the burning software fit your project size to the target disc or leave it original size. MyDVD also includes a Plug &#038; Burn feature for getting movies straight from your camcorder to disc. The software can autodetect chapters, but you may need to double-check this, as it created many inappropriate three-second chapters in my production. MyDVD encoded my 665MB, 8-minute test DVD in 4 minutes and burned it in 3 minutes. The resulting disc played flawlessly in a separate DVD player.</p>
<p>The new AVCHD Archive feature is handy for owners of camcorders using that recording standard. It lets them offload video content from the camera onto DVDs or Blu-ray discs at the original resolution. Multiple discs can be spanned if necessary, and the interface makes the process a straightforward one.</p>
<p>You can label your discs with a separate utility that gives you lots of control over the style, text, and layout of your labels; it supports LightScribe and LabelFlash drives, which can burn the title info directly onto special disc media.</p>
<p>Playing Movies<br />
The player component of the suite, CinePlayer, handles 20 common video formats. Most importantly, it had no problem playing Winged Migration and Dances with Wolves, even though my monitor was connected with DVI without an HDCP-compliant monitor. It can now play back Blu-ray discs, but only if you spring for an extra $50 plug-in.</p>
<p>New in this version of Creator is integration with CinemaNow, which lets you rent and buy digital movies. <a  href='http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/4149/CD116907/' target="_blank">roxio</a> Venue implements this capability: it&#8217;s little more than a browser that displays the CinemaNow Web site. The selection included recent DVD releases you&#8217;d see in your local video store.</p>
<p>You can either purchase the videos for unlimited viewing at a cost of about $9.99 to $19.99, or rent them for a single viewing (within 24 hours) for about $2.99 to $3.99. You can play bought movies on up to three devices. Some of the movies are available in HD, but none of these are major titles. When I bought From Hell, starring Johnny Depp, my only viewing choice was to watch it on the current PC. About 15 seconds after my download started, enough had buffered that I could start watching. When I hit the full-screen button, I could see that the movie was playing in Windows Media Player. The picture was crisp, but the sound was muffled and with occasional stutters.</p>
<p>Could I burn a DVD to play the movie I&#8217;d bought on my TV? The answer is a qualified yes: Most movies don&#8217;t allow it, and you need a &#8220;Qflix&#8221;-compliant burner and special Qflix media—neither of which are common. Also, it takes a long time and several gigabytes of disk space to get ready for the burn.</p>
<p>Could I play my purchased movie on a portable? Again, a qualified yes: You can watch some movies on Windows &#8220;Plays for Sure&#8221; devices, but not on the iPod or iPhone, Microsoft Zune, or Creative Zen—three of the most popular handhelds. You can, however, use most Archos players and the Samsung P2. Instructions for watching these movies on your TV screen seem outdated, with no mention of HDMI</p>
<p>Burning and Copying<br />
Windows 7 adds the ability to burn a disc image file (usually an ISO), but it would be an understatement to call the built-in app bare-bones. <a  href='http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/4149/CD116907/' target="_blank">roxio</a>&#8216;s tools let you create bootable and read-only discs, and offer a more friendly and option-filled interface in general. Windows 7, too, burns Blu-ray discs, but again, <a  href='http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/4149/CD116907/' target="_blank">roxio</a> gives you more control. I still favor ImgBurn for image burning, though its interface doesn&#8217;t offer much hand-holding.</p>
<p>If you want to burn a backup disc of common personal file types, Creator will scan your disk for e-mails, financial records (such as from QuickBooks, Microsoft Money, and Turbo Tax), and other documents of interest. You can also drag files onto its windows to include them on the data disc you&#8217;re burning.</p>
<p>On the 3-GHz system, I burned 3GB of data onto a DVD in under 14 minutes. Burning a CD was also snappy, as in last year&#8217;s tests: 78 minutes of music took just 2 minutes and 43 seconds to burn. Nero 9 Reloaded, however, took just 10 minutes and 31 seconds for the DVD burn and 2 minutes and 53 seconds to burn the same songs to CD.</p>
<p><a  href='http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/4149/CD116907/' target="_blank">roxio</a> Video Copy &#038; Convert makes it easy to transfer your video files to a multitude of target devices, including discs (DVD or Blu-ray), handhelds like the PSP, iPhone, Zune, Xbox, TVs, and video files. This is a separate issue from the CinemaNow content, which is more limited in portable device support. But <a  href='http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/4149/CD116907/' target="_blank">roxio</a> makes it easier to rip video from streaming Web sources (like YouTube) than do other suites. You just click the big Web Video button, start your video, and ,when it&#8217;s done playing, you&#8217;ll be able to save the clip to any of the above targets. But when I tried this with my iPhone, I couldn&#8217;t copy the video to the phone&#8217;s storage. After installing iTunes, the problem went away.</p>
<p>The cute SyncIt! gadget accomplishes about the same and pops up when you choose Drag-and-Drop convert from the main Video menu. Last time I tested this it was quite unstable, but this time it accepted and output various file formats with aplomb.</p>
<p>Photo<br />
Despite its dated interface, <a  href='http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/4149/CD116907/' target="_blank">roxio</a>&#8216;s PhotoSuite offers a wealth of photo editing capabilities. In addition to autofix, you can straighten, fix red eyes, manipulate brightness and contrast, adjust sharpness, smooth wrinkles, and clear up blemishes. The red eye fixer is a bit behind those in other products: It actually gave a blue hue to whole eye sockets in one of my tests. I prefer Picasa&#8217;s one-click red-eye fixer. The other fixers worked well, and the Mobile Photo Doctor will be welcome to phone shutterbugs. There&#8217;s a separate app that enhances multiple photos at once, and, as with PhotoSuite, you can drag and drop multiple photos onto it for editing.</p>
<p>There are plenty of Photoshop-like special effects and filters: clone brush, shapes, and cutouts, but no magic wand–style auto silhouetting. Special effects include filters like emboss, <a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=7' target="_blank">poster</a>ize, and funhouse mirrors—over a hundred in all. Text tools are full-fledged as well, letting you easily add captions in many fonts and any size; I could even rotate them, just as in Picasa.</p>
<p><a  href='http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/4149/CD116907/' target="_blank">roxio</a> offers a wealth of tools for making calendars, collages, <a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=6' target="_blank">posters</a>, and cards, but unlike Picasa and Corel Digital Studio, there&#8217;s no way to create a photo book; and the collage tool, although flexible, isn&#8217;t as slick as Picasa&#8217;s. A slideshow app doesn&#8217;t allow dragging and dropping. <a  href='http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/4149/CD116907/' target="_blank">roxio</a> has updated its PhotoShow online slideshow sharing service with a slider that lets viewers skip around in a show, display images faster, and import from e-mail. But PhotoShow is completely separate from the image and slideshow editors. You can post a PhotoShow directly to Facebook or your PhotoShow page. While you use PhotoShows, there are frequent messages about why you should upgrade to a premium version. One is that you can&#8217;t post shows containing more than 24 images with a free account</p>
<p>Music and Audio<br />
I used my a iPhone recording of a windwood quintet concert to test <a  href='http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/4149/CD116907/' target="_blank">roxio</a> Sound Editor. I wasn&#8217;t interested in fading and volume manipulation, but &#8220;clean up audio&#8221; sounded useful. This tool offers declicker, decrackler, and denoiser. The last did a nice job of getting out the background hiss. A separate audio tag editor can pull CD info from the GraceNote service, or you can enter your own track details.</p>
<p>The suite also includes a helpful how-to for converting LPs and tapes to digital formats. The cleaning tools mentioned above are great for this. You can also create music discs on either CD or DVD, and even use BeatMatch to keep your party playlist rolling. The Audiobook tool will take a CD audiobook and convert it for your portable music player (yes, even iPod), preserving chapter names for display on the device.</p>
<p>Ripping songs from CD to my test PC at a 256-Kbps bit rate took <a  href='http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/4149/CD116907/' target="_blank">roxio</a> 4 minutes and 26 seconds; Nero needed 2 minutes and 48 seconds. The &#8220;Time Remaining&#8221; indicator was useless, constantly showing increasing and decreasing estimates. Unlike most ripping software, <a  href='http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/4149/CD116907/' target="_blank">roxio</a> doesn&#8217;t display a progress bar for each song, but Nero doesn&#8217;t show you an overall &#8220;time remaining&#8221; estimate, so it&#8217;s a toss up.</p>
<p>Conclusion<br />
My overall impression from running the tools in <a  href='http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/4149/CD116907/' target="_blank">roxio</a> Creator 2010 is that the suite&#8217;s been tightened up considerably—I encountered far fewer bugs than I did last year. Plus, the suite&#8217;s already staggering number of media editing, authoring, recording, and transcoding tools has been bolstered by a more usable interface and some useful new tools.</p>
<p>True, Nero 9 Reloaded burned discs slightly faster on both DVD and CD tests and on multiple machines. And some apps in <a  href='http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/4149/CD116907/' target="_blank">roxio</a>&#8216;s suite are starting to look a bit outdated, and occasionally when I banged on it by performing actions in quick succession, an app would close or become unresponsive. But overall, <a  href='http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/4149/CD116907/' target="_blank">roxio</a> Creator 2010 makes commendable headway over last year&#8217;s version. I can&#8217;t declare a definitive Editor&#8217;s Choice in the digital media space until I&#8217;ve put Nero 9 Reloaded and CyberLink DVD Suite through their paces, however. Stay tuned.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Prague-based ALWIL Software has offered &#8220;Free antivirus for everyone&#8221; for what seems like forever. The company was founded in 1991 and their core product dates back to 1988. With around 100 million users they protect a substantial fraction of all consumer PCs worldwide. Due to a blip in the release schedule, I wound up previewing the beta last November. Now available for all, <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/24358/CD116907/">avast! Free Antivirus 5.0</a> (free, direct) has a totally new appearance and offers significantly enhanced protection against malware. Note:  Fans of the avast! free antivirus offering can now get the same protection in a streamlined for-pay suite. Check out our review of <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/24358/CD116907/">avast! Internet Security 5.0.</a><br />
Buzz up!on Yahoo!</p>
<p>The previous avast! antivirus 4.8 Home Edition looked more like a media player utility than an antivirus app. If that wasn&#8217;t strange enough, the included &#8220;skins&#8221; feature could make it look like just about anything. With <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/24358/CD116907/">version 5.0 avast! </a>gets a more standard rectangular appearance. You can&#8217;t disguise it as a Star Trek instrument panel any more, but finding features is a lot easier. The core antivirus/antispyware engine got a rewrite for this edition, and it also got some new components to aid in the fight. A new heuristics engine watches process behavior to detect malware that signatures won&#8217;t catch. A new code emulator lets avast! evaluate behaviors without letting a process run, and it also lets the app examine programs that are packed to conceal their contents.<br />
59diggsdigg</p>
<p>This version adds scheduled scanning and optional detection of less risky &#8220;potentially unwanted programs.&#8221; The latest avast! uses a new virus database format optimized for incremental updates. And the new gaming mode suppresses popups when it detects a program running in full-screen mode. Other notable features include boot-time scanning, wake-up from sleep mode to scan, and automatic scanning of files received through e-mail, IM, and P2P applications. And, unlike AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 9.0, avast!&#8217;s free edition has all the power of the paid Pro edition.</p>
<p>Decent Test Results<br />
Austrian lab AV-Comparatives released a number of tests toward the end of last year. avast! rated ADVANCED+, the best possible rating, in a test measuring performance impact. Out of eight tests throughout the year avast! scored ADVANCED+ in three, ADVANCED in four, and merely STANDARD in 1.</p>
<p>While avast! didn&#8217;t come close to receiving &#8220;product of the year&#8221; AV-Comparatives did award it a bronze medal for fast on-demand scanning. I can&#8217;t figure that one out; my own results show it scanning significantly slower than average. Both ICSA Labs and West Coast Labs certified avast!&#8217;s ability to detect malware, and it received the VB 100% award from Virus Bulletin in eight of the last ten Windows-based tests. Overall, the lab results are positive, though not overwhelming.<br />
Two-Stage Malware Removal<br />
Installation on my malware-infested test systems went quickly, for the most part. The installer wouldn&#8217;t fully load on one system, but a remote-control session with ALWIL tech support worked around that problem. After installation, the realtime &#8220;shields&#8221; found some malware processes over and over, racking up hundreds of notifications faster than I could click them away. I ignored the alerts and launched full scans.</p>
<p>A full scan by <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/24358/CD116907/">avast! </a>took quite a while. Where the average anti-malware tool scans my standard clean test system in half an hour, avast! took one and a quarter hours. A repeat scan still took over an hour.</p>
<p>When the product detects malware running in memory, it offers to run a boot-time scan. Even if a regular scan is running, this option interrupts it to reboot. The boot-time scan lets avast! clean up the infestation without interference from active malware. Most of the infested test systems requested a boot-time scan either during or after the regular full scan. I find it somewhat annoying that the boot-time scan halts when it finds a threat and waits for instructions. Even after I chose &#8220;Move all to chest,&#8221; the boot-time scan sometimes halted again if it encountered a threat in the Windows folder.</p>
<p>One system requested the boot-time scan over and over, without end, though after the first time the boot scan reported &#8220;no virus found.&#8221; Several other systems popped up real-time malware warnings even after the on-demand scanner claimed to have cleaned up all threats. I&#8217;d like to see the program fully remove every threat it detects.</p>
<p>On completing a regular scan, the program displays a table showing what it found. You can review the results or simply apply the default action to all found threats. By default, avast! moves all found traces to quarantine (which it calls the &#8220;virus chest&#8221;). This caused serious problems on one virus-infested test system, as it wiped out all legitimate files that the virus had tainted. I would have preferred that it first try to clean the virus from the infected files.</p>
<p>The lengthy double scan proved its worth in the end, as the boot-time scan did a lot of cleanup. <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/24358/CD116907/">avast! scored 7.1 of 10 points in the malware removal test</a>, better than Panda Cloud Antivirus Free Edition 1.0 with 6.7 points and a hair better than Microsoft Security Essentials 1.0 with 7.0 points.</p>
<p>The paid programs do score substantially higher on the malware removal test. Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus 2010 is the top scorer, with 8.3 points, and <a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=1' target="_blank">norton</a> Internet Security 2010 is next, with 8.0.</p>
<p>In a separate test using commercial keyloggers, avast! scored a below-average 3.8 points. HouseCall 7.1 scored highest of the free products in this test, with 5.3 points. Fortunately for avast!, anti-keylogger isn&#8217;t highly weighted in my tests.</p>
<p>Rootkit removal results were interesting. avast! detected 89 percent of rootkit samples, compared to an impressive 100 percent for Panda. But avast!&#8217;s cleanup was better, so it scored 5.5 points to Panda&#8217;s 4.9. HouseCall split the difference with 5.2 points. Paid leaders <a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=1' target="_blank">norton</a> Internet Security and Spyware Doctor scored much higher, with 7.9 and 7.7 points, respectively.</p>
<p><a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/24358/CD116907/">avast! </a>scored 5.3 points for removal of scareware (rogue security software), a fraction higher than AVG. Panda scored 7.0 on this test and Malwarebytes&#8217; Anti-Malware 1.36 did even better, with 7.3 points. Even the mostly-bad IObit Security 360 did well on this test, scoring 6.7 points<br />
Multi-Layer Malware Blocking<br />
Like Spyware Doctor and Webroot, avast! uses a multi-layered approach to keeping malware out of your system. The File System Shield scans files on access, Web Shield scans Web traffic for threats, Network Shield blocks network-based viruses and known bad Web sites, and Behavior Shield alerts you to suspicious programs. Other shields scan all files received through e-mail, IM, and P2P file sharing.</p>
<p>I tried to re-download my collection of malware samples, those whose URLs were still functional. avast! blocked access to a quarter of the URLs and the file shield caught half of the samples on download.</p>
<p>Next I tried launching my already-downloaded samples. Just clicking a sample triggered avast!&#8217;s file shield protection, which wiped out 80 percent of the samples right away. Several times during this process avast! reported that it had detected malware in memory and requested a boot-time scan. That was clearly incorrect, as no malware had been launched. When I repeated this test using hand-modified copies of the samples it detected exactly the same ones. My tweaks didn&#8217;t fool <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/24358/CD116907/">avast! </a>at all.</p>
<p>One shield or another caught almost all the remaining threats at some point during the install process. avast!&#8217;s 9.4 point score for malware blocking is better than any free product except Panda (Panda and for-pay Spyware Doctor share the top spot in this test with 9.7 points).</p>
<p>In a test using commercial keyloggers avast! scored 3.9 points, well below average. Panda topped all paid and free programs in this test with 9.0 points. Lucky for ALWIL I don&#8217;t give the keylogger test as much weight.</p>
<p>Though it boasts a rootkit-blocking module avast! scored just 5.9 points in the rootkit blocking test. Panda owned this test with a perfect 10; it completely blocked all the rootkit samples. avast! scored 8.2 points against scareware; Panda and many paid products turned in a perfect 10 of 10 points. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Introduction</p>
<p><a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/133601/CD116907/">Logitech</a> has cranked out quite a crew of Harmony remotes over the years. All seem to handle well, control a decent amount of devices, and are unbelievably easy to program. So how can you pick which one is right for you? Well, if you’re on a budget, the $99 <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/133601/CD116907/">Harmony 650</a> would be the obvious choice.<br />
Design</p>
<p>That’s not to say that the 650 feels cheap by any means. It has the standard rectangular remote shape, but is sturdy enough to go a few rounds under your couch cushions. Buttons are laid out nicely and respond well to a soft touch. Being a bit of a discount model, the 650 skips RF and there’s no touchscreen. It does have a small color LCD, which is nothing to brag about, but adds a little flash to favorite channels and commands.</p>
<p>One other noticeable feature: This baby takes batteries. Many other Harmony units offer docking stations. However, the lower cost means you’ll have to keep a stash of AAs around the house.<br />
Programmability</p>
<p><a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/133601/CD116907/">Logitech</a> says to set aside 45 minutes to set up the remote. It may seem long, but it’s pretty on-target—and actually flies by. Upon entering the two included AA batteries, the LCD instructs you to choose language and then head on over to Harmony’s website. As with all Harmony remotes, you will need a computer and web access for programming.</p>
<p>Our PC immediately recognized the remote. However, it would have been nice if the website had popped up, so we didn’t have to look it up (it’s <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/133601/CD116907/">www.logitech.com/myharmony</a>, if you want to cheat).</p>
<p>Choose your OS and download the software. Installation took just under 5 minutes on our Vista-enabled laptop. Once launched, the software asks if you want to look for updates. You’ll also need to create an account, which is just a user name, password and security question in case you forget both. From there, add your name, an email address, and country of residence.</p>
<p>Now that the introductions are out of the way, we can get down to the business of adding components. We connected the remote via the included USB, clicked Next, and got—a timed-out session. If memory serves, this has happened to us before with other Harmony units. However, we easily logged back in and were adding devices in under a minute.</p>
<p>Although this might seem like the most daunting task,<a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/133601/CD116907/"> Logitech</a> could not make it easier. Devices are added through a series of pull-down menus for Device, Manufacturer and Model. This is where you might take up the most time, running around to check what those model numbers actually are. It shouldn’t take too long, though, as the 650 only controls five devices total. We went with the obvious: our Olevia HDTV, Dish Network HD DVR, Pioneer Receiver, Samsung Blu-ray Player, and Philips DVD Recorder. <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/133601/CD116907/">Logitech </a>hasn’t caught up with an entry for Blu-ray, but it can be added as a DVD player and get the same result. Other goodies that can be put under the Harmony’s control include lighting and climate systems, media center PCs, DAT decks, and more. It also has a spot for gaming consoles—just not our Nintendo Wii or PS3, which need Bluetooth, not infrared.</p>
<p>Next, you’ll be asked to set up Activities, which group select functions under one button-press. For instance, to Watch a DVD, we chose the Samsung Blu-ray player for the DVD, our Pioneer receiver for volume control, and the TV’s HDMI input as our source selection. Once completed all of the setup, the remote should sync. However, we got—yes, another timed-out session message. We were fooled once, twice, and then we opted to just be remembered on the computer.</p>
<p>Once everything was inputed, we were flipping channels and firing up the TV without a glitch. As with any new remote, there may be a small learning curve. However, <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/133601/CD116907/">Logitech</a> could not make this thing any easier, thanks to a simple, easy-to-understand button layout.<br />
Conclusion</p>
<p>It’s hard to hate the Harmony. It’s even harder to hate the Harmony for under $100. Surprisingly at that price, the 650 still has the functionality of pricier controllers, but it’s limited to only five devices. For many, that’s just about right—or at least a nice way to ditch five random remotes. If you’re looking to shave a few extra bucks off the price, the 600 is <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/133601/CD116907/">Logitech’s </a>monochrome model.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Well we were gonna do another site review but for this one we are just gonna let the people speak for the site:</p>
<p><a href="http://www.herbalaffiliateprogram.com/herbalsmokeshop/aff_manager/newaff/redirect.cfm/i/2007039218/LinkID/1">HerbalSmokeShop.com</a></p>
<p>Customer Feedback</p>
<p>To our valued customers: over the last few months we have received several e-mails from unhappy customers who ordered from other sites, thinking they had purchased from us. It appears some of these sites have been changing the names and labels of their products to mimic ours-some have even attempted to copy our movie. Please make sure when you spend your hard earned funds that you are shopping with Sun Coast Organics, where you get the absolute best herbal smoke on the planet at the best prices with next day shipping and a free gift with every order $65.</p>
<p>We recently installed an audio feedback line, so we contacted our customers who had sent us e-mail feedback asking them if they would be so kind as to leave us some reviews on audio feedback. WOW! We never expected this.</p>
<p>Ordered from you before and truly enjoyed it very much! Pretty awesome!<br />
Listen to audio feedback from J.D.</p>
<p>Thank you for the great product!</p>
<p>I would like to thank you for Priority sending my order after a slight delay.  The delay being for security reasons just serves to prove that you WILL NOT and DO NOT sell to minors and I as a parent appreciate that; thank you! On the matter of my order; WOW!! Your sample was so much bigger than the last place I ordered I thought perhaps I bought it and had to check my receipt! The Nugs are awesome!! Didn&#8217;t really expect much since the last place I ordered from was a waste of time and money on their herbal products! WOW! yours really is good and works! As Arnold would say; &#8220;I&#8217;LL BE BACK!&#8221; Thanks again!<br />
.</p>
<p>Thank you! Your customer service is great. I don&#8217;t think I have ever received such fast human response from online customer service anywhere else. I just have to say I am impressed.<br />
.</p>
<p>I wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed my sample pack this weekend. I have bought the Enhanced Sampler Pack several times and decided to try the M.A. Sampler Pack. Don&#8217;t get me wrong, the Enhanced Sampler is KILLER, I was curious and decided to try the M.A. Sample Pack not knowing if it was even going to be any good. I sweated it out after I ordered it thinking that I messed up ordering it. When it came I tore open the package like a kid at Christmas wondering what it would be like. I was totally shocked at how much was in those samples. Even the free sample of Capillarius Herba was PACKED and was in the same size bag as the others were in. The other sites only give you a tiny bag and it ain&#8217;t nowhere near full. I spent the weekend trying them all out, and I have to say that they live up to the descriptions that your site gives for them. I couldn&#8217;t even begin to tell you which one I liked the best, they were all that good! The biggest problem I have now is deciding which one I&#8217;ll order next. Maybe I&#8217;ll try the Updated Herbal Sampler. Anyway, I can honestly say that I love everything that I tried so far, keep up the good work. Thanks for everything. 24 John</p>

Sticky buds are quite a bit better than most things I&#8217;ve tried. The Dagga, Sticky Buds, and Salvia are an excellent combo. Not real, but damn good just the same. Thanks for telling me about them Mike. Stan B.</p>

JM</p>
<p>I did receive the package. Please pardon my harsh<br />
tone. I am trying to quit the illegal stuff. If anyone<br />
says it is not addictive, show them my email. I ran<br />
out of the other stuff last week and it was very<br />
difficult. I was thrilled to find your website. The<br />
EXDRO is great! It got me through the weekend. That is<br />
the first time in two and a half years that I got<br />
through an entire weekend. I will order many more<br />
times. I am looking forward to trying many more of<br />
your products. You are not only selling herbs, but a<br />
chance to get away from the bad habit. Thank you for<br />
providing a very good alternative. Please post my<br />
comments so that others hooked on the illegal stuff<br />
can know there is an alternative.</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br />
RSS</p>
<p>Back for the third time, and still not spending more than 50$ for a lot of<br />
smokables, why cant the other online stores be this good? oh well, thanks in<br />
advance.</p>
<p>I really enjoy your wild lettuce opium.<br />
I would like to order more.<br />
Thanks,<br />
Mark</p>
<p>I was really surprised about the e****** of your product that i kept looking at the contents is there anything in this that would cause me to fail a drug test like thc or? please let me know and what is the strongest product you sell the endro</p>
<p>A few weeks ago I said that this was a lost order. I am very sorry, but I was wrong. I have two mailboxes, but I only checked one which is why I thought it never came. Very fast shipping. Excellent product and thanks for the free jasmine flowers for flavor. Received product in less than a week. Thank you!<br />

Hi,<br />
Thanks for the great smoke. I have been paying for shipping with tracking;<br />
however, for the last two shipments Ive received no tracking number and have<br />
been unable to track the package. This time I didnt pay for tracking, but am<br />
assuming that Ill get an email stating that the order has been shipped. That<br />
would be great.<br />
Thanks,<br />
Nancy</p>

<p>This is the second time I ordered. Herbs work great in my hookah.</p>
<p>I tried your herbs before and I enjoyed the smoke.</p>
<p>I RECENTLY BECAME A CUSTOMER AND I&#8217;M EXTREMELY IMPRESSED SO FAR AND I&#8217;VE ONLY TRIED THE CHRONIC FLEX.</p>
<p>Hi got my order in the mail today.. I&#8217;m very pleased thank you.</p>
<p>Previously enjoyed your products. Runnin low !</p>
<p>Few years back I had order sticky buds i think it was and also a hat, was pretty pleased and then did alot of moving around, now established in my daily routine again I am ready to start ordering again <img src='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':D' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>hey I&#8217;ve received package thank you so much great products thanks for the free gift. mahalo.</p>
<p>Top stuff!</p>
<p>I have finally found the best &#8220;blend&#8221; for my smoking pleasure: Jasmine Flowers, Sticky Buds, Tampioca Gold sprinkles, and a dash of wild lettuce. Fortunately I can buy all of these things except the Jasmine Flowers on your site, but would like to do this in the future. Is there any way you could add this as a product for purchase, rather than a &#8220;free sample&#8221;?</p>
<p>Tremendous site and great service.</p>
<p>Very fast shipping!<br />

Hi, I&#8217;ve tried your products and was very pleasantly surprised. I noted that the quantities available for sticky buds skip from 1/2 oz right to 1 lb. Do you offer any other quantities &#8211; like 4 oz? Same for Exdro &#8211; any larger, like 2 or 4 oz quantities available? Thanks, Jim</p>
<p>Im a returning customer. I tried the sticky buds, and was interested in what some of the other products had to offer. The Jasmine flowers made the sticky buds very tasty and added a nice aroma (thanks for the free sample).</p>
<p>I like this stuff then tobaco</p>

<p>3rd. order, please ship out fast</p>
<p>We received our Killer Buds order today &amp; I&#8217;m not sure if I was more skeptic or if my husband was, but, my husband lit up first &amp; then brought the water pipe out to the living room &amp; said &#8220;Wow, this stuff actually does something!!&#8221; so I took only 2 hits from the water pipe &amp; now I&#8217;m all relaxed &amp; feel like I&#8217;m ready for bed (Which is the whole reason we started smoking the illegal stuff &#8211; my insomnia). I&#8217;m also quite impressed with the sample pack of jasmine, is it&#8217;s main purpose flavoring? We haven&#8217;t tried it yet. How&#8217;s the chronic flex in comparison w/ the Killer Buds?? Thanks!!<br />
J &amp; R</p>
<p>Hi, I received my credit card order, thank you, that was fast!!</p>
<p>Bought from u once before [STICKY BUDS] liked it better than other sites stuff because yours was allot more [natural and stronger.]</p>
<p>Look forward to our re-order!</p>
<p>Your site is by far the best of its kind on the web !!!!</p>
<p>Good Stuff.  I&#8217;m a US Soldier, once I&#8217;m off mission I sit back and enjoy your blends in my Hooka!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m back. One thing that I can say is that I am VERY satisfied with your products, you definitely have a long time customer here. You definitely live up to your name. (and I haven&#8217;t even tried them all yet) Thanks, S.</p>
<p>Ordered before. Good stuff!!<br />

MY ORDER OF STICKY BUDS ARRIVED ON 5/18/05.SORRY ABOUT ALL THE E-MAILS I SENT . I WILL NEVER ORDER WITH A PERSONAL CHECK AGAIN!!!!!! I HAVE SMOKED THE STICKY BUDS SEVERAL TIMES NOW AND THIS ENHANCED SMOKING HERB MORE THAN LIVES UP TO THE PRODUCT DESCRIPTION YOU PROMOTE ON YOUR WEB SITE. SMOOTH ,ENJOYABLE SMOKE WITH MORE THAN NOTICABLE ENJOYMENT ; ALMOST AS GOOD AS EXDRO. QUITE SIMPLY A TERRIFIC PRODUCT WELL WORTH THE MONEY.<br />
SEVERAL MONTHS AGO I PURCHASED ONE OF YOUR ZEN MASTER HOOKAHS.THE<br />
HOOKAH CAME W/O EXTRA GROMMETS AND SEALS. IS IT POSSIBLE TO PURCHASE<br />
SPARE PARTS LIKE THIS FOR THIS PARTICULAR MODEL OF HOOKAH. IF SO, PLEASE<br />
E-MAIL ME ASAP!<br />
CSI/SUN COAST ORGANICS YOU ARE THE MASTER HERBALISTS !!!!!!! KEEP UP YOUR EXCELLENT WORK!!!!!</p>
<p>I do like the Sticky bud product I hope killer buds does as well.</p>
<p>Talk about a quick delivery, you guys are awesome! It came in the mail today and If it&#8217;s as good as the reviews state, I&#8217;ll definitely be back. Take care and thanks.</p>
<p>I just got my order! Thank you for the free herbal solid! Living in a small town, not that there isn&#8217;t the illegal stuff here, I just don&#8217;t know anyone well enough to ask, so it&#8217;s been quite a number of years since I&#8217;ve had the other stuff. Just in trying a tiny bit of the klip dagga and a tiny bit of the solid, I&#8217;m rather impressed. I may not come across extra money often, but I WILL be ordering again. I&#8217;ve been reading a little bit about the dream herb and the sun opener. I&#8217;ll pick those up next time and probably find something else. Thanks!</p>
<p>Awesome Bud! I enjoyed the Killer Bud so I figured I would try a couple more blends.</p>
<p>Great Products.</p>
<p>love the stuff!<br />

You have the greatest strongest products on planet earth. I no longer touch the illegal stuff now. Thanks.</p>
<p>I had to quit smoking the illegal smoke after 20+ years due to employment reasons. I had done some research at various web sites and they kept referring back to &#8220;Another Site&#8221; saying it was the #1 place to go. I had such a bad experience with their customer service just trying to get my order which I had paid a &#8220;rush&#8221; charge. Once I received it, I was disappointed with the product. It had mold growing on it and it was so harsh with very little results. To make a long story short, I was very disappointed and discouraged. I decided that I needed to have something to compare it to so I went on-line. After 2 hours of searching, I finally found a company that wasn&#8217;t an affiliate of the 1st company or a company in &#8212; &#8212;&#8212;. I placed an order with your company and your response was immediate. I had it shipped Express and it arrived on time. Once I opened the package and tried the product Mystical Journeys, I was shocked at how mild the smoke was and very impressed with the results. I am e-mailing you to say thanks for the professional and prompt service I received. With the great products and customer service I experienced, you have earned a customer for life.</p>
<p>Just got the package &#8211; thanks again! And the jasmine flowers were a<br />
lovely bonus &#8211; they added a wonderful and interesting flavor to the<br />
sticky buds (very smooth!).<br />
I look forward to ordering again soon! &#8211; K</p>
<p>You have the greatest products ever and beat the competition if there was any real competition!</p>
<p>RW-57 and BG-Swats were the same thing. Cant complain, because they work great. But I am not sure which one to order now.</p>
<p>Editors Note: RW-57 and BG-Swats are the same base herbs infused with completely different herbal extracts.</p>
<p>I finally got my enhanced sampler. good smooth smoke. I like bg swats and the rw 57 is tasty. sticky buds are remarkably similar to another smokeable plant I am familiar with, and tampico gold can render your favorite harsh smokes more smokeable. I also received a bonus 1/4 oz. of a sticky icky which I still dont know what to do with. I would assume it is to be grinded up and smoked but it is very hard to break. thanks.<br />
suga.</p>
<p>I must say The Tampico Gold on it&#8217;s own is quite a treat..very powerful stuff. I was surprised&#8230;</p>
<p>the legal buds are great thanks<br />

Been here before &#8211; I loved the herb.</p>
<p>I bought some wild dagga seeds from you awhile back and upon sprouting them they don&#8217;t look anything like the pictures you have on your site. Here is a picture of what mine look like</p>
<p>Editors Note: This is a klip dagga plant ( Leonotis nepetaefolia ). The image we had was of a flowering top of the plant.  Look at those leaves! They must near 3&#8243; across. Great color. Nice plant.</p>
<p>Enjoyed my first order!</p>
<p>You have the greatest legal products on the net! Period!</p>
<p>all of my co workers suggested ordering from this site</p>
<p>Thanks for the great service and great products.</p>
<p>return customer great products</p>
<p>my last order was great,<br />
thank you</p>
<p>I am a regular costumer</p>
<p>Thank you for the strongest products on the internet!</p>
<p>I mixed the herbal samples with bali shag tobacco&#8230;.. the results were greatly varied with each herb, now I&#8217;m down for trying your blends. Thanks for the quick shipment over the xmas holiday.</p>
<p>thats good stuff</p>
<p>You are defiantly the best smoke shop to buy legal buds from online. Fast shipping A+++</p>
<p>Been here before &#8211; love ya.<br />

Have ordered from you before&#8230;thanks for the good service.</p>
<p>Ordered from you before, keep up the good work!</p>
<p>Just a note to tell you that I have ordered before and was very happy so I am a returning customer.</p>
<p>My name is Wendy S. and I recently ordered 1/8 of Exdro from your website. I just received my order today and I&#8217;m very satisfied with the flavor and effect.</p>
<p>Repeat customer&#8230;Need I say more:-)</p>
<p>Thanks&#8230;love the site..love the products&#8230;returning because of all of these things.</p>
<p>PS: I sampled an &#8220;enhanced sampler&#8221; from a friend &#8220;Whoallyshit!&#8221; to say the least.</p>
<p>Seriously enjoying my 7 blend sampler pack&#8230;the Mellow Yellow especially! Thank you so very much. I have told all of my friends about your products and will continue to. Even after just one day I think they&#8217;re fabulous!<br />
Thanks again!</p>
<p>I love your tampico gold &amp; killer buds mixed together. It makes for a happy mellow evening. Your stuff is the only stuff I&#8217;ve ordered so far that works! I ordered from 2 other herbal sights &amp; went to a local smoke shop. All with no results. Just a raspy throat. I was wondering what the ingredients of your sticky buds are. I just want to know what I&#8217;m going to smoke before I order again. Also I wonder what you sell that works as good as the T-Gold &amp; K-Buds together? Ready &amp; willing to order the good stuff!!!I was able to quit smoking the illegal stuff with your help <img src='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> Thank you so much!  Herbal fan! KT</p>
<p>Hi I recently ordered a sample pack of herbs&#8230; with the order came a sample pack with a gold label. On the label was a hand written description of &#8220;Klip Dagga&#8221; I have looked thru thru your web site but only find wild dagga. Is this the same thing? I am enjoying all the product and can honestly say that my cigarette consumption is down by 70 percent. I particularly like the klip dagga as it seems to be a dried leaf opposed to a blend. Any info is appreciated. Thanks D.H.</p>
<p>Killer buds great product !! Thank you for your speedy ordering delivery and great products !! Jill</p>
<p>Thanks much! I received my sample pack of enhanced blends today.<br />

reason my order seemed to have been delayed . I e-mailed about this . being<br />
as it was memorial day , and I was looking forward to smoking some of your<br />
excellent products I was bummed out , thinking I wouldn&#8217;t get my order<br />
until Tues.. [ because of the holiday ] . to my utter surprise , it was hand<br />
delivered to my house on sun. morning .someone went above and beyond , on<br />
my behalf , to get my order delivered . thank-you doesn&#8217;t seem to be enough<br />
. but I do thank-you . especially whom-ever was responsible for the actions<br />
taken , to get my order delivered to me . I am a returning customer ,<br />
already , but this kind of action , will have me as a &#8221; loyal &#8221; customer . I<br />

<p>great service</p>
<p>Thank you so much for your quick response my order did arrive on the 29th.</p>
<p>What a great product ,your herbal blends are the best.I will be a return customer.Thanks for the free sample.</p>
<p>Ordered from you before and truly enjoyed it very much! Pretty awesome!</p>
<p>Thanks for your product, Sticky Buds. Very nice. Take care till next time. Rock On&#8230;.</p>
<p>Ordered before.</p>
<p>Not sure who the sales person was because they didn&#8217;t put it on the invoice. But, I want to say thank you! And thanks for the free sample of Tampico Gold ! ! ! I have been smoking it all night. I wanted to see what it was like, just by itself. Pretty darn good ! ! !  You know that I buy wholesale, how much a gram or 1/4 oz. or whatever. How much did you send. With the &#8220;heavy baggie&#8217; it was in, it weighed about three grams, after I had smoked a little.<br />
Now I am ordering from 4 companies. I am having trouble keeping up with, who I buy what from!<br />
Good job though ! ! ! Thanks<br />

I recently recieved the Enhanced Sample Pack and the MA Sample Pack. A total of 11 tasty smokeables. I was stunned by the smoothness and pleasant taste of EVERY single sample. Although each is fairly distinctthey all tasted and were as soothingly smooth as advertised. I would definately recommend both packs to anyone interested in buying quality smoking herbals. Tampico Gold and Mystical Journeys and very strong and full flavored. Sticky Buds rolled into the most amazingly sweet tasting hand rolled. The smooth burn and mellow taste make it perfect for rolling. BG Swats has an earthy flavor like nothing else. Killer Buds are just downright fun. Sorta like peeling mini avacados. RW-57, Super Smoke, Speedy Gonzalez are all better then I ever belived possible. I thank you for your fast and excellent service and will certainly be ordering again.</p>
<p>this is a really cool site, and i do hope that the stuff i purchase will be good, thanks</p>
<p>Hi ! My name is Russell. A while back, I ordered sticky Buds from another company. Well, smoke was plentiful, so I didn&#8217;t really give Sticky Buds a chance. It has dried up here, (Louisiana, it will be back! It always comes back) but meanwhile, I have found out what a good product that Sticky Buds are.</p>
<p>We received our order very quickly, Thanks</p>
<p>you guys are sooo good!!!<br />

Thank you so much!!! I saved a total of $40.00 shopping with you guys! What great products the damania pills are wonderful. I cant believe the size of the free sample!!</p>
<p>I quit smoking cigarettes on January 10th, 2003, using an herbal product called Smoke Away or something like that. I quit smoking pot in the mid 80s.I also work all day, and then take care of my 89 year old dad in the evenings when I get in from work. (I&#8217;m 56 years young.). I have hired someone to stay with him during the day while I&#8217;m at work. But, working a full time job, and taking care of my dad, gets really stressful. I was looking for an alternative to nights of no sleep. believe that Leonurus Siberius takes care of all of my problems. I can&#8217;t afford Valium, or Prozac, or any of the meds that those who can afford Health Care can request. I don&#8217;t have health insurance. All I have is prayer to keep me well. I recommend your product to anyone who has been in my situation. This product is really, really, really, good. And so is this company. R.W.</p>
<p>I have been very satisfied with all your products.</p>
<p>I received my order today, and am impressed with the packaging. Nice<br />
looking bag!! Another year of enhanced herbalization awaits&#8230;but first<br />
to get a (real) job!</p>
<p>love your products<br />
Great product. Ordered the Enhanced Sampler and Myst. Journey. Most impressed with T-Gold!! Purchasing more tonight. Thanks!</p>
<p>Thank you, and very good!!!<br />
Ordering some more.</p>
<p>Let me start by telling you that I never give anyone any feed back on any product I buy, until I bought something from you. You actually aren&#8217;t telling a lie when you say you have the best products around. To be honest, when I read some of your customers letters saying how good your products are,I didn&#8217;t believe it. I thought that someone had just made up those letters until I took a chance and bought one of your sample packs (Enhanced Sampler). It truly made a believer out of me, no shit. When I opened the envelope and pulled out the bag of samples,&#8221;Oh my God&#8221; was my reaction. I honestly was suprised at how big the quarter ounce samples were. I wished they looked that good when I use to buy the other stuff. I had recently purchased a supposedly full ounce of Herbal buds from another site and it didn&#8217;t even have as much in the bag as just the BG Swats sample had in it. Anyone who is skeptical about trying anything from you should read this. Not only were the 4 samples big, there was also a huge free sample bud of Exdro that was included in my order. If anyone thinks this is a crock, then when they smoke it they&#8217;ll really be suprised. I know I was. I could go on about how good your products are and how satisifed I am. I hope everything else is as good as what I got. Keep up the good work, you are the Blend Masters. Sincerely, 24 John P.S. Sorry it&#8217;s so long.</p>
<p>I tried your Wild Dagga and loved it. I cant wait to try the new things I have ordered. I also want to try the free sample of Exdro I was not sure if I needed to put it on my order, But please send it.<br />

Thanks For giving an alternative to the illegal stuff!</p>
<p>Please don&#8217;t forget my free sample, as promised on the website. You guys are great!!!!</p>
<p>Editors Note: Around here feedback from our customers is highly appreciated. Including this fine young lady&#8217;s. We just cant figure out what that little bugger is really doing!</p>
<p>I was reading through the customer replies and I saw something about a free sample in a few posts&#8230; Would it be possible get one of those? thank you! I love your stuff!<br />
Thanks I received / picked up my package today. We are testing as we speak.<br />
Thanks so much! -LISA</p>
<p>What happened to the &#8220;flavored&#8221; blends? I really enjoyed the &#8220;Chronic Tropical&#8221; and wanted to purchase some more. Is that now not possible?</p>
<p>Editors Note: Yes it is. Except without the flavoring, and a bit stronger. Its now called BG-Swats.</p>
<p>To Customer Service: Hello. I wanted to inform you that I did receive my order number: 1081062 yesterday, Mon. Sept. 22nd. Since I have emailed and left you a couple of voice mails regarding my order asking if it was shipped and when, I wanted to give you a courtesy follow up to inform you that I did, in fact, receive it.<br />
Again, thank you for your assistance and for a great product! I am pleased! I will be sharing my satisfaction with others and on your customer feedback page.<br />
SIncerely,<br />

<p>this as herbal tea is the best common cold cure tell every one !!!</p>
<p>Editors Note: This customer is referring to Capillarius herba.</p>
<p>Before I place my next order I wanted to ask if your Wild Dagga flowers are always the same quality? The flowers I ordered from your site a couple of weeks ago had a lot better taste than the flowers I ordered from other sites. I would like to order several packages and want to be sure they are the same as the last ones I purchased. Also how would you compare the Leonurus Sibericus flowers to the Dagga flowers? I would be intrested in trying them. Are they both in stock? Thanks DG</p>
<p>Hello.. Hello i got it&#8230;Very great stuff it is california orange? thank you again</p>
<p>Good afternoon! It&#8217;s me again. My mailman came and went and no delivery today. When did you ship? I don&#8217;t want my neighbors to sign for me. By the way you&#8217;ve got some great product! I seem to have a hard time deciding which one I like best! I find the mellow yellow to be tasty, chronic is strong and super smoke smooth and satisfying! I&#8217;m glad I tried the sampler. I am interested to get my next order to try your other products! Very nice!<br />

Hi Guys,<br />
Thanks this smoke shop is the best thing going online. You cannot believe how unpleasent some companies are to deal with. Lots of baiting and switching and poor customer service! lousy products. Keep up the good work!! You can quote me!! R J</p>
<p>Hi<br />
I got the speedy gonzolos at the post office today…Very cool!I will continue ordering from your company…thanksI never leave feedback for products I buy online but I am so impressed with your products that I absolutely had to drop you a note.  I bought some Super Smoke and Sticky Buds and ordered express delivery. I was amazed to have the products arrive after only 1 day. Typically even the best sites take two days for delivery. So thanks for that!!! I really wanted an alternative to the real stuff and I wanted it fast so I&#8217;m happy for the prompt service. As for the actual products I immediately lit some up and was shocked to feel an immediate effect. It was great!!!!!! I can not tell you how happy I am. I&#8217;ve been a regular smoker of the real thing and my supply was always really spotty. Having your company as a legal alternative is an unbelievable treat. I eventually found that Super Smoke when smoke in a water pipe with a small air tip produced AMAZING effects. It is actually similar to T&#8211;! The sense of euphoria is great!!!!!! Anyone who wants an alternative to the T&#8211; found in real tobacco try SUPER SMOKE!!!! You will be amazed. And it&#8217;s legal!!!!!! Thank you, Thank you!!!!!! Shiron B.</p>
<p>&#8220;Aloha, I got the order today and my husband said this is the best he has found and tryed, he can&#8217;t wait to order somemore, but I think he is going to try the other&#8230;.super blend(15 an oz.)&#8230;&#8230;..will be ordering soon&#8230;keep up the good blend&#8221;&#8230;&#8230;R &amp; K</p>
<p>&#8220;I got it&#8230;&#8230;..pretty good&#8221;&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..R<br />
Aloha, I just read about your sticky bud……is it anything like wild dagga flower(wow!!, as soon as I can Iam ordering some…that sample was killer). Kinda diff when the color red. Anyhow I am a little hesitate about the bud, been burned before, but you guys or gals never did us wrong. That&#8217;s why I am asking about the effect. My husband (K&#8212;) passed his piss test after smoking the herbs from you guys and gals.(Home Security where he works) cool huh. I told him if he keeps smoking the real thing he is going to jail one day, he hasn&#8217;t smoked the real thing for 6 months…thanks to you guys and gals…and it&#8217;s legal!! hahaha……….keep up the good work of finding legal herbs……R &amp; KAloha, this is pretty good. any info on bulk packages?? or samples on other stuff…maybe the solid?????……….R &amp; K</p>
<p>Hey, I was wondering if ya could send me something free cause I have bought lots of your products, oh, and the new sticky buds are great!! Penny<br />

<p>Hello.Just wanted to let you know we all really enjoyed the Chronic Flex. And thanks so much. Remember, how I said the Dagga was a three? Well, this blend was a solid seven! Honestly, it was different, but in a manor of speaking, it is a better smoke than a &#8220;10&#8243;. Thanks again. Turned a few friends onto samples also. Take care, TB</p>
<p>Thanks for removing the link from the site. Hopefully that will stop ALL the weird phones calls we have been getting the past few months. Your site must have allot of traffic for all the calls we received asking about the Chronic Flex.  But again, we would love to put a banner and link of yours on our site&#8217;s homepage. And was wondering if you wanted ours. Thanks, TB Chronic Flex is still the best on the market! TB.</p>
<p>Editors Note: We simply cut and pasted TB&#8217;s feedback on the page. It included a link to her site. She sells some very good Herbal Vinegar made from herbs she grows. The link to her site was not put up here so people could call and contact her about Chronic Flex. However that is what happened. This is a feedback page if we include a link to a customers site here it is so our users can visit the site if they chose to. Please do not contact them regarding our products. Thanks enjoy the site!! All of us a MA</p>
<p>&#8220;I have had my first Tryptamine experience from smoking what I thought<br />
was &#8216;hay&#8217;. I shall never question the concentration of your Salvinorin<br />
again.&#8221; -Cabbot Sanders</p>
<p>&#8220;Hi Mike ,Got our samples. Been testing and sharing .So far so good.<br />
Peace&#8221; , Kate</p>
<p>&#8220;When the plant arrived at my house it was dead. I planted it anyway to see if<br />
it would miraculously revive itself, but, alas, it is still dead. Thirty<br />
dollars for a dead plant? I am not at all satisfied with that part of the<br />
order. On the other hand, the smoking blends are wonderful, but I would like<br />
to be either reimbursed or have a new LIVING plant sent to me!&#8221; KK &#8211; Ga.</p>
<p>just wanted to say thanks! very well pkg and fast appreicate! karen<br />

enjoyed sample package,thank you &#8230;when can i expect second shipment to<br />
arrive?<br />
thanks,percy</p>
<p>&#8220;Thank you so much for taking the time to talk to me. My husband likes the Wild Dagga as much as what he was smoking. I am so happy about this. We have been looking for over 3 years for some good smoke.&#8221; Sincerely Marge N.C.</p>
<p>&#8220;I really like these! Is there any THC in chronic flex or killer buds? I don&#8217;t want to fail a drug test at work.<br />
Thanks.&#8221; LH</p>
<p>&#8220;HELLO<br />
I JUST RECEIVED A OREDER OF CHRONIC FLEX AND KILLER BUDS AND THIS IS MY FIRST TIME TRYING THEM AND I JUST HAD TO SAY THAT YOU HAVE A REPEAT CUSTOMER IN ME.I &#8216;M TOTALLY SASTIFIED WITH BOTH AND HAVE YET TO TRY THE FREE SAMPL<br />
PACKS THAT WAS INCLUDED. DO YOU HAVE SOME TYPE OF MAILINGS I COULD HAVE SENT TO ME? HERES MY ADDRESS IF YOU DO&#8230;BUT IF NOT I&#8217;LL STILL KEEP BUYING!&#8221;<br />
D S</p>
<p>Editors Note: We do not have a mailing list. Once the order is completed we never contact the customer for any reason. Nor do we sell or share any customer information. By the way Thanks DS</p>
<p>&#8220;Thanks for the Tip. As I told you on the phone we were only interested in carrying the smoking blends to make it clear what we are selling our pipes for. Tobacco and legal herbs. As you can see by our orders they have grown in to much more than that.&#8221;   G- JFS</p>
<p>&#8220;Well this is turning out to be a major success. I guess I am going to have to give my manager a little something for finding you guys.&#8221; R- DWP</p>
<p>&#8220;hey guys,<br />

carefree days. have you given any thought to tee shirts. think back to<br />
the early days of &#8220;celestial seasonings teas&#8221;. a different shirt for<br />
each tea available. i&#8217;d love to sport a &#8220;chronic flex &#8221; tea for all the<br />
world to see. think about it. and if you do decide to remember us &#8220;big&#8221;<br />
guys in the sizing. thanks</p>
<p>ps. i undersatnd a tattoo and piercing shop local to me is going to<br />
start carrying your blends&#8221; Doug-NJ.</p>
<p>I was checking out your site and it is one of the most resourcful sites I have been to for a long time. It is really easy to understand the knowledge you guys have obtained. I wanted to let you know that I have a very high respect for someone that I don&#8217;t know, in this day this is a hard thing to come by. Your webpage has inspired me to go out and try different things, explore my opitions&#8230;. I guess I know so many people who just go out smoke mj and get nothing from it&#8230; nothing&#8230;. I always feel I stick out like a sore thumb because to me everything has such deeper meaning&#8230;. yeah I guess the only person that can understand myself is me. &#8221; Others will not care how much we know, until they know how much we care&#8221; True that I guess. Well I hope to get a response, because I would really like to have this conversation with another person <img src='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  yeah its hard to get sarcasim over the net, I tend to forget Kristine from Minnesota<br />

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>In the 2010 version of its well-known <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/41/CD116907/">antivirus program, Symantec </a>continues to build on the unexpected progress it made last year. In addition to maintaining the quick load and scan times, and significantly smaller system footprint, <a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=1' target="_blank">norton</a> 2010 includes a behavioral detection engine based on both behavior and reputation.</p>
<p>Called Quorum, this new engine doesn&#8217;t adversely affect <a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=1' target="_blank">norton</a>&#8216;s performance&#8211;a major concern after years of system-crippling sluggishness. It works in concert with <a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=1' target="_blank">norton</a> Insight, introduced last year as a whitelist-style guard for &#8221;trusted&#8221; files. By examining your files and how they behave&#8211;both locally and when trying to access the Internet&#8211;and comparing them with other <a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=1' target="_blank">norton</a> users, Symantec claims that it offers better protection than its competitors. Like its competitors who also have behavioral detection systems, however, <a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=1' target="_blank">norton</a> allows you to opt out of anonymously submitting your data without sacrificing the protection that Quorum provides. Third-party detection and removal ratings are not available for this new version, but last year&#8217;s results placed <a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=1' target="_blank">norton</a> in the upper echelon for efficacy.</p>
<p><a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/41/CD116907/"><a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=1' target="_blank">norton</a> AntiVirus </a>lacks the premium services offered in <a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=1' target="_blank">norton</a> Internet Security. These include a firewall, parental controls, Wi-Fi protection for unsecured hot spots, and identity protection including antiphishing tools and browser search result authentication for Internet Explorer and Firefox. <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/41/CD116907/"><a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=1' target="_blank">norton</a> AntiVirus </a>also offers only one license, instead of the three that come with its bigger brother. It does offer the same support network, lacking a searchable knowledge base but including e-mail, IM, phone support and the Symantec forums. The trial has been doubled from 15 days to 30. <a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=1' target="_blank">norton</a>&#8216;s recent approach to performance and its continued efficacy make<a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/41/CD116907/"> <a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=1' target="_blank">norton</a> AntiVirus 2010</a> a must-consider program for its class.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you&#8217;re looking for a robust feature set from your security suite, and  you&#8217;re looking for an affordable price, you could do worse than <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/317/CD116907/">Trend  Micro&#8217;s 2010 products.</a> <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/317/CD116907/"><a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=8' target="_blank">trend micro</a> </a>has refreshed it Internet Security  Pro, Internet Security, and the stripped-down AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware  packages; and according to the publisher, they gain significant  performance enhancements.</p>
<p>According to <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/317/CD116907/"><a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=8' target="_blank">trend micro</a></a>, the programs  boot times are 20 percent faster and use 40 percent less RAM, the  download size is 25 percent smaller, and that the quick scan on Windows  XP and Vista is 20 percent faster. There are new features, too.  Although, many of them didn&#8217;t make it into <a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=8' target="_blank">trend micro</a> Internet Security  or <a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=8' target="_blank">trend micro</a> Antivirus and Antispyware suites. This is problematic  because the feature set is <a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=8' target="_blank">trend micro</a> strength, but to get it, you have  to pay for the Pro version.</p>
<p><strong>Installation</strong><br />
One thing that <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/317/CD116907/"><a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=8' target="_blank">trend micro</a></a> doesn&#8217;t do is  tell how it calls out its behavioral  engine, which is used to determine when a program is acting in an  unsafe manner. There is a box you can check at installation to opt out  of the behavioral program, but there&#8217;s no clear explanation of what it  is or what it does in the application. On the one hand, technology that  lets the publisher leverage <em>supposedly</em> anonymous data from  customers to catch surreptitiously-running threats faster isn&#8217;t new;  it&#8217;s been around for a few years. However, this year more security  suites are adopting behavioral engines. On the other hand, companies  like <a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=8' target="_blank">trend micro</a> must consider whether users will panic if it is  mentioned clearly and then disable their computers from contributing  data to the cloud.</p>
<p>As long as the data is truly kept anonymous, a  behavioral engine can be an exceptional tool for preventing malware.  But in <a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=8' target="_blank">trend micro</a>&#8216;s installation process, it looks like nothing more  than another box and line item to read before installing; it could  benefit from a more detailed explanation.</p>
<p>A customized installation process is available for people who  wish to configure program location and tweak components. <a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=8' target="_blank">trend micro</a>  will also run a virus check once it&#8217;s done installing and automatically  update its definition files.</p>
<p><strong>Interface and features</strong><br />
<a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/317/CD116907/"><a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=8' target="_blank">trend micro</a>&#8216;s 2010 </a>interface  has been refined from the previous year&#8217;s version, with less dead space  and more emphasis on both security status and ease-of-access to its  security tools. The program launches into its Overview tab that  highlights your security status with a large colored icon: green for  Protected, and Red for Unprotected. Underneath that tab are links to  your protection status, your license information, and a security report.</p>
<p>Each of these links drills down to essential information, exposing  them in an elegant and uncluttered manner on the main page. The  Protection Status link opens a window that details the status of your  virus definition files, updates, firewall, unauthorized change  prevention, spam filter, parental controls, and data theft prevention.  Each of these has a green On or red Off status icon with a hidden  explanation of each that can read by clicking on it. Unfortunately,  there&#8217;s no way to get from the list to the deeper controls for  each&#8211;it&#8217;s simple for toggling the status.</p>
<p>Also on the Overview tab are two buttons: one for activating a  scan and one for manually updating the definition files. The scan button  defaults to a Quick Scan, although it has a drop-down menu on its right  side for selecting a Full Scan or Custom Scan. Scanning opens the scan  window, which details which threats it&#8217;s looking for, what files it&#8217;s  scanning, live results, and options to run in the background or shut  down the computer after the scan has finished. Depending on how you set  up the program, it will either automatically fix any threats found or  ask for input. If you choose to auto-fix it, the app will still show you  a window after the scan is complete, detailing what action was taken,  and the threat links to more detailed information on <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/317/CD116907/"><a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=8' target="_blank">trend micro</a>&#8216;s </a>Web  site.</p>
<p>The Virus &amp; Spyware Controls tab offers four drop-down  menus. The first checks for real-time viruses and spyware when you  download files, leveraging the behavioral heuristics. The behavioral  scan can be toggled on or off with a button, and it offers a  configuration menu with a secondary, advanced features window, and a  whitelist/blacklist link that is for cookie control. Despite what sounds  like a confusing series of submenus, in practice, it was easy to  navigate.</p>
<p>The Prevent Unauthorized Changes drop-down menu offers  more control of installations. This is where you would manage programs  that <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/317/CD116907/"><a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=8' target="_blank">trend micro</a></a> doesn&#8217;t recognize, with the same on/off toggle and  links to settings and exceptions. The next tab is for configuring  scheduled scans and custom scans. It&#8217;s frustrating that such a key  feature is buried deep in the interface, especially since most users are  still wary of holes in real-time protection. This scheduler only  controls scan schedules&#8211;it doesn&#8217;t offer update scheduling. There&#8217;s  another scheduler for updates, in another part of the program.  Underneath the scheduler is the Quarantine section that helpfully  categorizes the quarantined files as viruses, spyware, and Trojans.</p>
<p>The Personal Firewall Controls tab continues the interface scheme, with  headline-style options that expose key information in a drop-down menu  and link to options configuration windows. Through the advanced settings  pane, the personal firewall exposes a wealth of firewall data,  including the IP version, protocol used, and a simple description.  Editing a protocol exposes even more data, for those who know how to use  it.</p>
<p>Also in the Firewall Controls tab is the Network Connection status,  which offers a cutoff switch to kill the Internet connection. We&#8217;re not  sure how useful this feature is, or if it&#8217;s just a hand-holding measure.</p>
<p>The Internet &amp; Email Controls tab&#8211;the next major  section&#8211;contains the data theft prevention lists, parental controls,  spam filter, and protection against Web threats. Its features share  lists, although not features use all of the lists. For example, the Data  Theft Prevention feature will block numbers and names that you specify  from being sent through Web-based forms. The theft prevention feature  only works in SMTP e-mail and instant-message clients in the Pro  version. You can also select protocols that are allowed to send  protected data, and which aren&#8217;t. You can also insert customized data  field to protect. The Web threats protection, which works to stop  phishing and pharming, is heavily based on a firewall-style slider  combined with whitelists and blacklists. Again, its efficacy is  debatable, especially when a Web site&#8217;s backend servers or ad server can  be hacked without the site itself registering as risky.</p>
<p>As with  many of <a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/317/CD116907/"><a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=8' target="_blank">trend micro</a>&#8216;s</a> competitors, the parental control section can be  configured for Adult, Teen, or Child. However, here you also have the  option for &#8220;Mature Teen&#8221; and to customize a setting. The Adult user or  system administrator can set access times based on user log-in, and  customize the protected data field. Each of these options under Internet  &amp; Controls sports a green On or red Off toggle for quick  verification.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion</strong><br />
<a href="http://send.onenetworkdirect.net/z/317/CD116907/"><a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=8' target="_blank">trend micro</a></a> looks and feels like a professional  security suite, but it&#8217;s worrying that it doesn&#8217;t participate in the  major tests that their competitors are comfortable with. At the same  time, it includes behavioral detection, which is becoming more important  for catching more complicated threats. The mobile support is worthwhile  for peace of mind, and for reminding users that just because you&#8217;re on a  cell phone doesn&#8217;t mean you&#8217;re risk-free. However, that&#8217;s only  available in the most expensive of <a  href='http://www.directshoppingsite.com/blog/wp-content/plugins/WP Affiliate Pro/wp-affiliate-pro.php?id=8' target="_blank">trend micro</a>&#8216;s three packages.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="rkr">I&#8217;ve been an avid soccer player for about 25 years now.</p>
<p>Although I&#8217;d admit that I&#8217;m certainly more a fan than a player now, I still feel the need to pull on my boots and trot out on the pitch now and again.</p>
<p>I don&#8217;t buy any of my playing gear online, as I shop at the same store I&#8217;ve been going to all my life. I like to know the feel of the cleat as I wear it &#8212; I&#8217;m not ready to take the store out of this particular transaction yet.</p>
<p>But for anything related to soccer: balls, fan t-shirts, DVDs, etc &#8212; I go to soccer.com. I&#8217;ve actually been buying from this company since high school. Eurosport (the company that runs <a href="http://www.pntra.com/t/2-1251-18782-286">Soccer.com</a>) bought TSI, which was a cataloger that I used a lot at that time. TSI had great deals on equipment like shin guards and socks.</p>
<p>I originally went to<a href="http://www.pntra.com/t/2-1251-18782-286"> soccer.com</a> to find a Roy Keane tshirt from Manchester United. Keane was a popular (though controversial) player on this team for almost a decade. He recently left the squad over differences with his teammates and his coaches, so that moved me to look for some gear.</p>
<p>The site was easy to find &#8212; all my google search queries pointed to <a href="http://www.pntra.com/t/2-1251-18782-286">soccer.com</a> as the place to buy.</p>
<p>Using the site is also pretty easy, though it&#8217;s definitely a site designed by the same folks who run the catalog division. First, the homepage is very busy, but it manages to list all the product categories on the side. The front middle of the page is the merchandising area, where you can see the latest products. The left side of the page highlights popular purchases and new releases, as well as an exhortation to subscribe to the catalog. If you&#8217;re not sure what you&#8217;re looking for, this page might terrify or engage you &#8212; I&#8217;m not sure which. Let&#8217;s assume it works, just for the sake of this review.</p>
<p>The top of the left side of the page contains three very helpful links:</p>
<p># Shop by Brand<br />
# Shop by Player<br />
# Shop by Team</p>
<p>Clicking on any of these links allows the dropdown list behind it to show. Since I was looking for Roy Keane, I chose Shop By Player, but shop by Team would have worked as well.</p>
<p>Once I clicked on Keane&#8217;s name, I was taken to a page of merchandise featuring him. I chose the Irish national team replica t-shirt by Adidas. I was able to size the item and place it in my shopping cart on one page &#8212; checkout was a three page process after that.</p>
<p>The site&#8217;s posted shipping policy is as follows.</p>
<p>All orders from <a href="http://www.pntra.com/t/2-1251-18782-286">SOCCER.COM</a> are processed between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. (EST), Monday through Friday.</p>
<p>Regular ground shipping takes from 3 to 10 business days, depending on your distance from us (within the continental U.S.)</p>
<p>GROUND SHIPPING RATES</p>
<p>Order Total 	Shipping Rate<br />
$0.00 &#8211; $10.00 	$4.99<br />
$10.00 &#8211; $25.00 	$5.99<br />
$25.00 &#8211; $50.00 	$7.99<br />
$50.00 &#8211; $100.00 	$8.99<br />
$100.00 &#8211; $150.00 	$9.99<br />
$150.00 &#8211; $200.00 	$10.99<br />
$200.00 &#8211; $250.00 	$11.99<br />
Over $250.00 	By Weight</p>
<p>There are also express shipping options available.</p>
<p>The site has a pretty good return policy, and I&#8217;ve never had any problems with the merchandise from this company. </span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span class="rkr"><strong>I</strong> have subscribed to <a href="http://www.pjatr.com/t/2-17814-18782-34984">JC Whitney</a> Catalog for almost 3 years now, and have been buying products from their online store for about 4 months. Although buying through the catalog seems to be faster, the online store offers much easier and accurate after market purchases for that particular make and model car.</p>
<p><strong>The Site:</strong> <a href="http://www.pjatr.com/t/2-17814-18782-34984">JC Whitney.Com</a> is dedicated to selling after market parts, tools, replacement parts, and accessories for trucks, vans, RVs, and cars. The site primarily focus&#8217; on helping its customers turn that otherwise blase production car into an aftermarket wonder. From exhaust modifications, to extreme body enhancements, <a href="http://www.pjatr.com/t/2-17814-18782-34984">JC Whitney</a> has almost anything you could ever want to find (that you could&#8217;t find in regular auto stores) for upgrading your car, truck, SUV, etc.</p>
<p><strong>Formatting:</strong> The site is very easy to use, and has proved to be much more convenient over the catalog. When you log on to the site there is a membership sign in, but this is not necessary if you just want to browse. For a list of all the modifications available for your car, you simply type the make and model of your car in space provided and a list of modifications for your car will be listed.</p>
<p><strong>How much does it cost to be a member?</strong> You only need to be a member if you buy a product from this company. Membership is free, and is very easy to sign up, with no e-mail verifications or anything. You simply type in the info requested and you are ready to buy.</p>
<p><strong>Buying &amp; Shipping:</strong> You will need a credit card, and will need to fill out a basic form asking for your home address etc.. This process is painless and takes only a few minutes. Shipping and handling is a bit of a pain, <a href="http://www.pjatr.com/t/2-17814-18782-34984">JC Whitney</a> separates the Unites States into zones, and charges different rates for different zones. JC Whitney also charges more for the amount you spend. Even if a product weighs 1 Oz. but costs more than $200 dollars it will cost you more than a 1 lb product that costs $7.99, which can be good or bad depending on what you are buying.</p>
<p><strong>Returns &amp; warrantys:</strong> Jc Whitney offers a 180 day warranty on all products that indicated otherwise. The item purchased will need to be sent back, and a replacement product will be sent, or your money back if requested.</p>
<p><strong>My experience:</strong> I have purchased a few items from <a href="http://www.pjatr.com/t/2-17814-18782-34984">JC Whitney.Com</a> and have been very happy with the service and product. I have purchased side skirts for my Geo Strom, A Tornado Engine Performance Booster, and a heater. All items arrived relatively fast, came well packed, and insulated. I have been very happy with the prices<a href="http://www.pjatr.com/t/2-17814-18782-34984"> JC Whitney </a>offers their customers. Most items sold are at least 10-15% cheaper than buying from other similar websites, and much cheaper than buying from infomercials. Like with all online purchases you don&#8217;t usually know exactly what you are getting, in the case with my &#8216;side skirts&#8217; for my Geo Storm, I was not expecting the hard labor that would have to go into putting them on.</p>
<p><strong>Conclusion:</strong> An excellent online store for anyone looking to buy after market products and parts for their vehicle.</p>
<p><strong>For More info you can go to <a href="http://www.pjatr.com/t/2-17814-18782-34984">www.Jcwhitney.com,</a> or call 1-800-529-4486.</strong></span></p>
