Well I think running an antivirus software is just an added security. The best measure to prevent viruses and malware from wreaking havoc in your system is by using your brains. Do not just run any executable from suspicious sources. Stay away from "warez". before installing an application, it is best to research about it/read user reviews about it. i use nod32 because it is very light on resources, that i can run it in real-time, just in case.

Anti-malware Software You Are Using do you think it is necessary for everyone who has a computer to have one antivirus software installed and running? why? if yes, do you scan your computer regularly? are you using antivirus software only on-demand (manual scanning) or do you set it to run in real-time? what antivirus software are you using?

:shocked2: an ipod would be nice. send it over, please :laugh3:

Review: The National, Boxer [ATTACH]23128[/ATTACH] This weekend was Felicia's birthday, and one of the things she received from me was tickets to go see The National in June in Madison, Wisconsin at one of our favorite spots, The High Noon Saloon. Luckily, that gives me enough time to become inundated with the band's new album, Boxer, which is set to hit stores May 22. There are few bands out that that portray such an understated style of music as The National. "Fake Empire" opens with a quiet piano and a deep monotone voice, as if you were privy to a private show at a dark underground piano bar. My favorite track on the album comes next with "Mistaken for Strangers," which takes on a steady and strong drumline as if it was pulled straight out of an Interpol catalog. The lyrics, "Mistaken for strangers by your own friends" speak of isolation, and the isolated voice of lead singer Matt Berninger throughout the album makes you feel almost alone with the music. The album, as understanded musically as it is vocally, is deep and diverse in tone; on "Apartment Story," Berninger's clear, simple vocals float over a heavily distorted fuzz, but on songs like "Racing Like a Pro" and "Ada," a quick flamenco style guitar holds the energy just enough to match the lyrics. The National it seems is a band that relies heavily on the music to pace their albums, particularly Boxer, creating a synergistic relationship with Berninger's vocals rather than simply existing in the periphery or playing over the vocals as so many others do. An understated gem of an album, Boxer is a true testament to the strength of their songwriting and the ability to capture the emotional tone of their songs without overvocalizing or overproducing the music. I think Ian of Minneapolis F@cking Rocks describes the feel of the album well in his preview of Boxer: "Consistently overlooked by the national music media, The National first made some real noise in 2005, when the exquisite Alligator showed up on a number of bloggers/print pubs' "Best Of" features at the end of the year. Defined by Matt Berninger's resonant baritone and sharp lyrics, the band kicked out a number of great twitchy pop songs with shades of country and punk rounding out the edges. This new album, Boxer, is not nearly as edgy or nervy. From the outset, Berninger & co. sound self-assured and comfortable, as if the mild success they experienced has given them a serious jolt of confidence. That means that the band eschews the jagged catharsis of "Abel" for more subtly, and luckily, this is a band that does subtle seriously well. The best thing about The National are the little flourishes that make their songs feel so alive, like the swell of horns at the end of "Fake Empire" or the steady build-up in "Apartment Story." Beringer's voice, deep and steady, is some unholy combination of Ian Curtis' monotone and Jim Morrison's swagger, and he dominates the record with his personality. In fact, if I had one complaint about Boxer, it would be that at times it feels a bit like Matt Beringer solo album; the presence of the band is much more subdued than it was on Alligator. There is no sense of "Mr. November"'s unified anxiety. But at the same time, The National are now writing songs that don't just seem anxious, they're writing songs that make anxiety, fear and love palpable..." -Veritas Lux Mea http://thetruthenlightensme.blogspot.com/2007/04/review-of-nationals-boxer.html It never really occurred to me, but it's quite intriguing how the author made an Interpol reference. It must be the reason why I like this band. While Interpol is best at making me feel morose, angst-ridden and sometimes in mixed emotions, The National makes me realize the beauty in solitude, and sometimes it makes me actually feel upbeat. What do you think about this band?
