Here's another freeware review for you.

First up is neat little app to help you get the fastest possible free DNS connection to\from your computer. It's called DNS Jumper (www.softpedia.com). Once it's been found, a simple click will insert the correct numbers into your internet settings. You can even save your old setting by clicking another button. Certainly made a difference to my connection - let us know how you get on. Give it a go anyway.

My next suggestion adds another layer of security to your computer. It does NOT replace your existing anti-virus\anti-crapware etc but Secunia PSI scans your computer for any vulnerablities in your system and will download and install updates and\or patches. It can do it automatically or will ask for your permission first, depending on how you set it. Secunia PSI gives you a security rating. Ideally the target is 100%. First watch the Video (www.youtube.com) then download Secunia PSI (secunia.com).

Best of all both are Free!!
:clap:thumbs::clap

1204482 2011-05-24 05:12:00 Hi Zippity

As stated earlier all threads are auto locked after a certain period of inactivity .

While I'm an keen watcher of Press F1, I don't always log on . This certainly is not necessary to read other peoples threads which I enjoy . Guess F1 sees this as inactivity .

I don't mind if you or anyone else sees my previous threads so if the Moderator wishes they can unlock them . In fact, there have been many interesting debates which I thoroughly enjoyed!!

Remember someone, (tongue in cheek), suggesting I take money from the software providers I review . I don't . Not for reasons relating to morals but simply because no-one has offered me any!! If this is what you are worried about - relax . I simply recommend from time to time any freeware which have proved useful and others might enjoy too . It's up to you if you install them or not .

Hope this puts your mind at ease .

1204483 2011-05-24 06:39:00 Perhaps Jen could explain what the current policy is. Or not as the case may be. Snorkbox (15764)
1204484 2011-05-24 06:44:00 Perhaps Jen could explain what the current policy is.I'm not Jen, but as I understand it threads are autolocked after three months without a new post, in order to prevent necrobumping (en.wikipedia.org(Internet)#Necrobumps).

Edit: Although one thread that really deserves a bump is this one (pressf1.co.nz) :devil.

1204486 2011-05-24 06:53:00 And the fridge one as well IMHO.Good call, that one too :D. Perhaps we could do a deal with the mods - resurrect the fridge & airplane threads in exchange for locking this (pressf1.co.nz) and this (pressf1.co.nz) :thumbs:. Erayd (23)
