Comments (7)the free ones like AVAST, AVIRA etc also have paid versions they make their money from those and are wonderful in that they also offer a free version to help those who can not afford to pay, the free versions have a bit less on them than the paid versions of course. It benefits everyone when each person can have good updated programs on their pc which is why many of the companies do offer a free version. In pay versions Kaspersky is an excellent choice, it is likely the one I would choose if I used a pay version it or Nod 32. I personally use AVAST free on my windows machines and feel it is an excellent product. The main thing to remember is layered security so along with your fully updated Antivirus you also need good antimalware programs like malwarebytes and superantispyware which are also free which should be updated and run full scans once a week or so. In addition having spywareblaster is another layer that protects you while online and requires no scans just update it weekly and hit the enable all protection button so the shield is green. And of course a firewall, if you have a properly configured router you have a hardware firewall there protecting you but you should have a software one also, vista and windows 7 have a decent one built in. SpywareBlaster SUPERAntiSpyware Free I think you have malwarebytes already? you will of course have to get Trend Micro fully removed from the pc before changing to any other antivirus program. as important these days is to make sure everything is kept updated and patched using Secunia tool makes that easy Secunia Online Software Inspector (OSI)...See MoreQuestion about Cross Ventilation
Comments (3)Hi Mimi, There's not too much science involving cross ventilation probably because of the site and design variability. Ive never heard of the smaller inlet size and would tend to think its the other way around but hopefully someone could correct me on this. Either way, I doubt it matters much. I think the awning would make a bigger difference up high as opposed to down low. Casements offer the best cross ventilaton not only due to the entire window area being able to open but because the window opens out, it tends to "scoop" the air inside. For this reason, the tilt and turn may ventilate better. I would think it might make a bigger difference to change out the double hungs with casements. While it may make a more comfortable living space, dont expect any cost returns from changing out windows to accomplish more ventilation....See MoreQuestions about Sansevieria (after reading a book about this plant)
Comments (33)laticauda(OK - zone 7) I think I read somewhere that to make a room have clean air (not just cleaner air) it takes like 15-20 6-inch potted plants. For one room. If plants can make a room clean (not just cleaner) why United States Enviromental Protection Agency does not write about it at all? Residential Air Cleaners (Second Edition): A Summary of Available Information Sourse: http://www.epa.gov/iedweb00/pubs/residair.html#Will-Air-Cleaning-Reduce-Health-Effects Quote: "Some air cleaners may produce new, potentially toxic pollutants or may re-disperse old ones". It's interesting to know can live plant produce new, potentially toxic pollutatns or re-disperse ones? For example, Sansevieria or SPider Plant....See MoreDebbie B.
