Does not detect & remove some malware, unless you manually initiate a "full" scan of all drives

AntiVirus 2015 3 Device 1 Year PC
AntiVirus 2015 3 Device 1 Year PC

Pros: Fast. Fairly good job keeping away malware. Minus 1 egg, because if you get fooled (like my dad did) into installing malware from a scam pop-up window that says "You need to install Flash Player" (or some scam like that), then Webroot won't stop you from installing that malware onto your computer (nor will the automatic scans clean it off -- you CAN use Webroot's thorough "Deep Scan" to clean it off, but you have to initiate that manually, since it's not the default scan setting.

Cons: A very annoying pop-up reminder "Renew your subscription now!" will start appearing 30-DAYS BEFORE your subscription expires, and will keep coming back. If you get annoyed and buy another Webroot CD and enter another 1-year subscription code before your 1-year subscription expires, you get 12 months from that date you entered the code -- As of the date of this review, it DID NOT add 12-months MORE to the end of your subscription expiration date. So then you lose your last 30 days or so of paid subscription, unless you wait until the last day. So, it's best to just let your subscription expire completely, before activating a new 1-year subscription code. (But then, you'd have to deal with that annoying pop-up when you turn on the computer, even though you still have many days remaining on your subscription.)

2012 Christmas deal

Sony 40" 1080p 60Hz LCD HDTV
Sony 40" 1080p 60Hz LCD HDTV

Pros: I like the fact that this TV automatically will set the screen to the right size setting, depending on whether a TV channel is broadcasting in HD "widescreen" format or "square" ratio format (so you don't manually have to adjust the screen's width / zoom feature every time you change channels).

Cons: Installed speaker were perfectly adequate for my own TV watching tastes. (And if your a real audiophile, you're going to connect the TV to expensive external speakers anyway.)

Works as advertised

Pros: Inexpensive (I got it on sale for around $25). Simple to use.

Cons: Didn't find any.

Does what it advertises

Pros: small, compact, lightweight, easy to type

Cons: On rare occasions, it freezes my computer for some reason if I plug it into certain USB ports on my laptop (I have the still somewhat new Windows 8, so I don't know if that has something to do wiht it.)

The only bad thing is HDMI to VGA means you migth now have sound unless you take extra steps....

Only bad thing about this thing is that when you plug it in to connect your computer to a second monitor, your PC stops playing sound because the sound is going through the HDMI, so then you have to use the included audio out cable to plug into other audio speakers.

Great service!

I ordered 4 earbuds, and there was a problem with one of them. I called them and they IMMEDIATELY shipped out another one to me! Far better than I had expected.
