Well I thought of making one of those threads that everybody can participate. I mean EVERYBODY. Unless, you dont have a computer, therefore not having a desktop, therefor not being able to access spudfiles regularly, thus having to go to the library to post. Lolcats. Well if it isnt obvious on what I want you to do, just take a snapshot of your desktop, and post it here.

Heres myn

EDIT: I also thought it would be neat to list your computers specs. Like the capacity of your hard drive, CPU speed, Laptop/Desktop computer, RAM size, etc.

HD = 120gig
CPU= 1.6ghz
RAM= 1g DDR2
Laptop

I use AntiVir PE Classic.

It was free and works really well and doesn't cause any problems. I've never needed to use it much but i'd just be browsing some random site and it comes up and alerts me saying something is trying to access something on my computer, just click deny and carry on.

I've had my computer for over a year without formatting and i've never had a virus.

From my perspective and experience (i am a computer technician as part time job) Mcafee is a computer resources hog. It takes up a lot of mem and cpu usage even at idle compared to other anti viruses. I personally use AVG. www.grisoft.com. Or I also recommend kaspersky. www.kaspersky.com also any Norton virus protection stuff i despise. Except for Norton ghost 2k3 :D which is very nice
