automatic updates

Ya, it’s very annoying, I agree. Every time when Windows has finished installing some updates, the all-knowing dialog pops asking you if you want to restart now or restart later for all changes to take effect. But what if I’m doing something and I can’t restart? It’s fine, says Windows, press “Restart Later”. Oh great, says the user, pressing joyfully on Restart Later. But what on earth…the dialog appears again after a short while, asking the user the same thing? Hey heyyyy….!
Even if this isn’t news for many, removing the Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications Tool is still a hassle for most users, so we have decided to teach you how to remove it completely from your Windows XP system. That, and the incredible large amount of email towards our Editors, made me post this small and easy ‘fix’.
The Windows Genuine Advantage Notifications tool (WGA), is a small ‘feature’ which checks your Windows copy on the Microsoft servers to see if its legit. Of course, we don’t have a problem with that, we’re not stimulating any pirated activities!

As computer users, we were faced at least once to manually install at least one software program into our home/work computers. The funny part is that most of us, didn’t ever read the software’s EULA (End-User License Agreement), clicking the “I agree” button faster than lightning. I don’t blame us, the software EULAs are very long and boring, but there is a solution, a virtual assitant that reads the EULAs for us.
The BitDefender family has crossed the Windows platform and gained a new member within the Mac OS universe. SoftWin, the team behind BitDefender, released the Mac version of the popular security software solution.
The software package includes the popular BitDefender scanner, real-time protection and automatic updates. BitDefender 2009 wants to keep your computer away from spyware, malware and viruses, all in real-time using the latest engine and signatures. While Mac users haven’t really needed a security solution, SoftWin’s intentions regarding BitDefender aren’t very clear so far.

As a Windows XP or Vista user, you probably wondered how can you disable the system tray pop-ups when Automatic Updates are available or the firewall/antivirus is disabled. The firewall alert is very annoying in my case, at every fresh install, I disable the Windows Firewall because, I simply don’t like it and I use other firewalls. Upon deactivation, the Security Center pops in the system tray and starts “alerting” us that the Firewall is disabled…I don’t like that at all.
