PCs are usually sold with anti-virus software installed but protection it affords falls down when user fails to keep virus data files that software uses up to date. Updates are usually available for free via software vendors web site and downloading such updates at least weekly needs to be part of routine maintenance of a PC.

If you don't currently have anti-virus software on your computer then we recommend that you download FREE version of AVG Anti-Virus from Grisoft.

Installation itself is a simple process if you accept all of default settings that program suggests. A re-boot will be necessary at end of installation to fully activate software and we suggest you begin by performing a full scan of your hard drive(s).

AVG can be set to download virus definition updates automatically from Grisoft web site thus ensuring that you always have protection from latest virus threats. You can upgrade to 'Pro' version of software if you wish but we have always found FREE version to be very effective and can highly recommend it.

Other anti-virus software is available from Symantec (Norton Anti-Virus) and MacAfee as well as other companies. If you are already using their anti-virus products then make sure they are up to date by using software to check for virus definition up-dates. Symantec are particular well thought of within industry and are often first to respond to any new virus threat.

I wrote this article, formatted it for publication, added HTML code and published it on my web page using EditPlus.

So far, I haven't read a manual for EditPlus and don't feel I need to because program is so intuitively easy to use.

I admit that you need to learn some HTML if you want to create and edit your web pages with EditPlus. But I get nervous when I try to create a web page with one of those designer packages where HTML code is hidden from view.

I keep going back to EditPlus after trying those other complicated web design programs.

If you want to test it, you can download a trial of EditPlus from http://www.editplus.com. The cost of software is minimal (only about $30) and well worth it.

Why can't more software developers follow KISS philosophy? Keep it Simple, Stupid! I'm convinced they would capture more of us simple-minded users if they followed this principle. Then it would be Keep It Simple, Smarty!
