Anyone used it? Pros/cons?

Re: Windows Media Player 11

I use it...I hate it. I have to use it to sync with my BB but I hate it because it's not user friendly.

I switched to VLC ages ago and I haven't looked back since.

Thanx, Craig. I think I'm gonna go to Office Max and get the BitDefender 'Antivirus 2010' for $30.
Any thots on that product? It get's top marks from some and havn't found any negs yet.

But wait, there's more!
I just found a site http://download.cnet.com/BitDefender...mncol#whatsnew that offers the download of this product for free!
How can this be?

Whenever I choose any computer hardware or software, I check Newegg.com and look for the reviews. In this case Bit Defender's home edition got four out of five eggs meaning it's pretty good however NOD32 got five out of five eggs and is cheaper. It's recommended by hackers so it's gotta be good.

ooh yeah...

Now that's the kind of recommendation I've been looking for. Thanx!

But...
newegg actually gives the BD AV 2010 5 eggs and is indeed $10 cheaper than the NOD 32. And the BD is updated hourly compared to daily for the NOD.

Of course Office Max has a $33 tag instead of the $25 online price...

I didn't scroll down that far. Sounds like BD is also rated five eggs. I've used Nod32 and was impressed at it's user interface. This thing is like a vault having to reconfigure my network simply because Nod32 looks at all angles of entry.

That's good! I gotta get something onboard asap before I finish the set up.

I switched to VLC ages ago and I haven't looked back since.

I only get VLC media player coming up in an anti-virus search.

VLC is a pretty good media player and one I would use if I were running a hacked version of XP...oops did I say that?
