Does Virus Protection Affect Gaming Performance?

I found this to be an interesting article on ExtremeTech  about the effects of Antivirus software running while gaming.

Article Link: Gaming Performance Versus Antivirus Software

My Opinion…

I have always thought that no matter what the background software that is running it will in one way or another cut into performance.  The results of the study show that the game performance is not affected as much as you would think.

What do you think about this topic?

Quick thought...

Is there anyone else that thinks it would be a great idea for a developer to create a Vista Gadget that would allow users to scan specific files for malicious information?

Just a thought... let me know in the comments what you think?

Microsoft Live Mesh...

Ok, so I just installed Live Mesh on my Vista 64-bit dual display and just as the installation process was finishing my Aero affect was disabled!

I was not very happy.  What a great feature to Microsoft's new Live Mesh service for Vista.  Yet another thing that stains the name "Vista".  But with a restart all is back to normal and now I am part of the Live Mesh network.

Let the meshing begin.

What kind of experiences have you had installing Live Mesh?

CNET: Buzz OutLoud...Facebook Apps = SPAM?

I came up with this post when I was listening to CNET's Buzz OutLoud Podcast on my way to work like I always do and they said that many of the small applications are filled with SPAM or have bugs that can leave the PC vulnerable to attacks. 

MY KNEE JERK REACTION:

I don't like those applications anyway's. I never download and fill up my profile page with that stuff anyway's.  Not to mention that I don't trust the developers to create something that meets today's security standards on the Internet.

What are you thoughts or opinion on the matter? 

Let me know by leaving a comment to this post.

My first post...

I first thought of creating a blog that would simply be a web portal for my initial reaction to the constantly changing world of technology, when I was listening to one of the many Podcast that I listen too during my commute to & from work.  So here we go...
