ESET - Excellent Security Every Time

ESET Smart Security 5 - 3 PCs
ESET Smart Security 5 - 3 PCs

Pros: *Fast Scans *Allows you to scan external drives as soon as they are connected *Top notch protection

Cons: *Bulky *Slow on older computers with limited resources *Usually one of the most expensive Security packages

Overall Review: This is by far the best Security package available, run this with Malwarebytes pro and you pretty much have the most solid protection available.

Pros: Working fine now...

Cons: They would read and write CDs but not DVDs or burn lightscribe.

Overall Review: Although these drives had the latest firmware, I decided to flash them again and it worked. They read and write DVDs and will burn lightscribe discs.

Great board, why all the negative feedback?

BUFFALO AirStation AC1300 / N900 Gigabit Dual Band Wireless Router - WZR-D1800H
BUFFALO AirStation AC1300 / N900 Gigabit Dual Band Wireless Router - WZR-D1800H

Pros: ww-drt is availabe now bought a 1.3GHz router and now it's 1.75GHz I stream bluray HD video on my Gigabit LAN and now I am doing it wireless with no signal loss. I have 20+ wireless devices on my home network and nobody can tell when all of them are pulling data at once.

Cons: It dropped $60 since I bought it.

Overall Review: I bought 2 of these the day they came out for my computer business because I knew they would support dd-wrt by 2013. I just downloaded the new firmware and it upgraded from 1.3GHz to 1.75GHz. Now while I have not installed the dd-wrt yet on my own routers, I have colleagues who have and it is AMAZING. I will be doing the upgrade this weekend.

2 out of 2 not working
