One of the most frequent questions that I am asked is how can I remove spyware or adware from my Windows computer? Windows is susceptible to viruses, spyware and adware so it is important to always have protection in place. One of the first things that I do when ever I am setting up a new computer or when I have just reinstalled windows is to install Anti Virus software. I recommend doing this before you ever connect your computer to the network/internet. (See my article on Anti Virus Software) After you are running some form of AV (Anti Virus Software) I recommend making sure your windows computer is running the latest patches/updates.

As predicted (after finding out about Labor Day), the iPod event is going to be held on Wednesday 09/09/09….that’s according to AllThingsD’s John Paczkowski
And according to sources close to the company, the date is Wednesday Sept. 9. The event will be held in San Francisco — most likely at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts, where it has occurred in years past — and is expected to showcase upgrades to the iPod line and an update to iTunes that may involve some sort of social element. Our sources insist it will not involve any discussion whatsoever of the tablet that Apple is reportedly developing.
His sources neglected to mention whether or not Apple CEO Steve Jobs would be making an appearance or even keynoting the event. They did stress that there would be absolutely no tablet whatsoever.
The event is likely to bring us new iPods with GPS and camera capabilities. We’re also expecting to see the 16/32/64GB iPod Touch varieties with $199/$299/$399 price points.
