Three great Free anti virus software for you as good as the paid ones

November 29, 2011 by admin 1 Comment

These antivirus programs are free and made by legitimate software producers and if you are thinking why they are giving it free, there is a reason. Like all strugglers you have to provide top class service to get the top position and its no different for these Antivirus software makers. They are not strugglers but already established antivirus vendors but they want more people to try their software before they can buy the full versions and so they are giving their software away for free. If you like it and want a buy a premium version ( with some extra features ) you will have to pay for it otherwise it remains free.

3 Free antivirus Software providers

These links below will take you to these free antivirus download website pages

1. AVG Antivirus

2. Avira Antivirus

3. Avast antivirus

Some of these Antivirus are as good as the established players in this market like Mcafee antivirus , Kapersky Anti virus and Norton antivirus and infact offer some innovative features that they don’t as well. These free software also scans your computer for rootkits which is awesome and is also considered a premium feature in some software’s.

Infact i was so impressed with one of these free programs ( AVG antivirus ) that i went ahead and bought a full version AVG antivirus for $39.99 from the internet from amazon and is it going great. Full version of these other free software are also available on Amazon

There is also a tool from Trend micro to do a online scan on your computer by downloading thier software you can check out more about it here.

Amazon Dodgy link plugin “Amazon affilaite Link localiser”

June 26, 2011 by admin 50 Comments

Recently i installed this link , that says it will localize your Amazon links so that the it updates any amazon links on your website /blog with your amazon id for that country so that you don’t miss out on commissions.

DODGY/ fraud plugins for wordpress

I installed this plugin and though i would do a check to see how things are going . to my horor i found that the amazon link are pointing to someone else amazon id , which would obiviously be the plugin maker. So i was ytricked into handing over all my commisiions to the this guy . DO NOT USE THIS PLUGIN it is a scam. IT will replace all you amazon links with this id link “http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=petewill-20” .

[ Author of this plugin has sent me a clarification message , which i have posted at bottom of post ]

check out the pic below

I clicked one of the about links http://petewilliams.info/ and also the id link that covered mylinks with his links was “http://www.amazon.com/?_encoding=UTF8&tag=petewill-20”

The plugin ” Amazon Affiliate Link Localizer”

This is totally sneaky and wrong, please do not download this plugin.

Clarification sent from Plugin author: Pete williams

Hi,

My name’s Pete and I wrote this plugin. It looks like there’s been a bit of a mixup here so I thought I’d try and clear it up for you.

Just to explain, the script does use my affilliate IDs, but *only* where you don’t provide your own. It will never overwrite your IDs, and so will never deprive you of any commission. This is explained on the page on my site for this script, on it’s page in the WordPress Plugin directory and again in the plugin’s readme.txt – so obviously I am not trying to scam anyone:

“DISCLOSURE
If you do not insert your own affiliate IDs the script will use mine. Hopefully this will help fund my book addiction!”

With this in mind, I’d appreciate it if you could update your post to correct the information.

Thanks

Pete

My response: I certainly had put my id in and this was still happening when i had used this plugin , this might have been fixed since then . so you can most certainly have a look for yourself if you interested in this plugin and check it outfor yourself if you like.
