    I recommend Comodo too. They have a good firewall and antivirus solution for free. I thought AVG was too weak but it has potential.

    Ensign Charting Software Raises Price

    I love Ensign. Internally, it's designed efficiently but it does have some minor quirks on how to do some basic stuff. There's a little learning curve to it. It's a lot more stable and reliable than QT when it comes to day trading. I've seen lag in the charts in QT during rapid trading. QT...

    Quadcore / Duo Core question

    Quad - has 4 threads to handle data. Duo - has 2 threads to handle data. In the past, the old processors had only 1 thread and experienced bottlenecking with increased data loads. The new i7 processors will have 8 threads. I recommend the Quad processor. Reference: Intel...

    Is Fap turbo for real?

    I agree. It seems to be setup as a large MLM business since you see a large number of different websites and reviews on the Internet promoting this product. This review by Prez150 on YouTube seems to be more realistic. http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=prez150+fapturbo

    Real Time or Not?

    I would personally pay for a good anti-virus program but if you want something free, possibly AVG or PC Tools are good alternatives but just know they will not give you 100% protection. They will give you the bare minimum that you need. If you go with the free route, just implement strict...

    New FireWall - Can't access Platform - Need Help

    Series 7...

    Just like cubsguy81 said: Become an independent, private trader and trade your own money. If you're going to be dependent on a brokerage firm and prop establishment so you can trade their money, then go get your license renewed. Work for yourself or work for someone else. You decide.

    Coinstar Cstr - The Only Thing That Works In A Bear Market

    I wonder why all banks don't have these machines. It's hard enough giving rolled up coins to the teller. They either complain or give you hell.
