Comment Best Wi-Fi Skype Phone? (Score 0, Offtopic) 289

Bendodge, Can't say I am really qualified to answer the Wi-Fi part of your quiestion. I have gone the really low budget route with "MagicJack", hey I hear all of the laughter. But $19.95 a year is hard to beat, if you can live with a few shortcomings like: having to have good to great Internet connection (read bandwidth), have an extra computer or laptop that can stay online 24/7/365 (I own 4 laptops not counting my wife's Apple PowerBook Pro, which I can't touch for fear of death). That said, being the father of two college grads, one word always comes to mind, "cheap". Most college folks want the most bang for the buck, simply because they usually have to make that buck do the work of two bucks most of the time. So I found this link: http://phoneselectronicsopenstore.co.cc/Skype_Wifi_Phones.html which I feel offers some of the best deals on some of the cheapest and not so cheap deals around plus links to the manufactures site for more info. Some of the brands I've never heard of because they are popular Skype phones across "the pond" but are now available here so should be considered. The Wi-Fi Phone for Skype SO-20 by IPEVO , http://phoneselectronicsopenstore.co.cc/goto-B002L7KFW8.html for around $129 seems to be good alternative to the Belkin that is panned by almost everyone so far. Just read about 20 reviews from owners of the IPEV SO-20 and without exception all loved the call quality, easy of use and connection (even to secure connections). Again all owners complained about the same to shortcomings; no speakerphone and short battery life (needed to be recharged every 24 hours). Other than those two issues all were very satisfied with their units. Well, thoses are my two cents, good luck at your new life in college. Regards, John

Comment Can't Fault AVG Free - But I Use Comodo Internet S (Score 1) 896

I currently use Commodo Internet Suite (Free Version) and ThreatFire (Anti-Malware) concurrently. And since I tend to be very paranoid, I will update and run malwarebytes on full scan mode maybe every two weeks. I started with AVG 0.9 way back when and still recommend the free edition to anyone who asks me for a good "free" anti-virus suite, I also recommend running an additional resident anti-malware program concurrently.
