A HELPING HAND FOR MY FRIENDS... (or lets not download crap)
Ok, this is slightly off topic, but, I suppose if you count the fact that 3D printing or additive manufacturing as it's tech name is, needs a computer in decent running order, then, I suppose it's actually not too far from this blogs topics :-)
I'm talking about that niggling problem of where you download some crappy dodgey software when you actually thought you were downloading the real deal, that Adobe update or that Java update. The problem? You then find you've downloaded some shister program that sticks some crap advert popup onto yer system.
There is too much crap out their on the web, and too many dodgey people trying to get you to download dodgey crap, (did I say "dodgey" enough times??) :-)
Well guys, here's a helping hand from little ol me... gonna send you in the direction of some good old fastioned genuine downloads & fixes.
And guess what... its genuinely FREE!!!!!!!!!! A very rare thing ;-)
Hey if your here and don't know me, I'll leave it upto you whether you can trust my links. (It can be a hard thing on the internet, trust!)
Below I've given you some links. Click on each to access the update or program download. (You might recognise the names!)
Microsoft Malware Security Tool - Make sure you download the right one for your system (it says windows 7, xp etc) Install then run, it will find Malware. Its good for about ten days. For security reasons, download again after 10 days (because viruses are ever changing)
Free AVG 2015 - its not bad for a free antivirus program, the catch is they want you to download lots of other shite. Just click on the link, it will take you straight to the download.
Adobe Reader - the famous and free Adobe reader. They will offer you some other shite on the page (well, I suppose they have to pay the rent :-), but its upto you if you want to download that.
Adobe flash player - hey, the fav for the dodgey guys whole get you to download on their site, it will update itself, so dont worry. What do you need it for? All that video and stuff on websites.
Well, there you go for now, hope it helps. :-)
