Time for tech--->Do you STILL trust Microsoft to build antivirus support into Windows 8?

This sounds really cool because you don't have to worry about messing with installing anti-virus anymore right..... wrong! You still have to worry because Microsoft Security Essentials has declared Google chrome as a Trojan! Earlier today , we learned that the Microsoft Security Essentials tool began falsely identifying Google Chrome as a piece of malware (”PWS:Win32/Zbot”) and removing it from people’s computers.

Internet Explorer review

Review for Internet Explorer 2-20-11: MSIE has always had top marketshare. However browsers like Firefox have taken it away. I am basing this review off stable browsers so the IE9RC will not appear in this review. I shall outline the positives and negatives: + *finally has multi-tabbed browsing *has accellerators that make searching for stuff easy as selecting text, and a popup icon comes up and you can search, bing, google, and wikipedia from it. Saves time *improved page rendering from prev. versions, however still has issues with some CSS *improved interface from earlier versions *now has addons but not as large of selection as firefox. *multiprocess browsing, each tab is own process - *performance is still not very good as it could be *can be more of a memory hog than firefox--->takes up way more commit charge and RAM then FF does for all those tab-processes *still has page rendering issues and some CSS does not work *web devs still have issues with IE *not as many addons...
