Smoke Signal progresses apace. He's been defragging overnight to recover from the mass upload of utility programs. I'm not 100% done there, but my remaining choices are going to require a bit of research (I'm still trying to decide on where to go for my firewall and anti-virus needs ( Read more... )

Virus: AVG

Firewall: ZoneAlarm

I run AVG and used to run ZoneAlarm before using my router as the firewall. I linked to the free versions of both products for you.

All I can say is NOT Norton or McAfee. :P

Yeah, I've had bad experiences in the past with Norton (it was part of why poor Smokebomb was so fragile), so I'm avoiding it like the plague.

Anti-Spyware: AVG Anti-Spyware
Anti-Virus: AVG Free Edition
Firewall: ZoneAlarm Free

Additionally, I've also used CCleaner and Defraggler to good effect - the former is a utility to free up disc space and clean up your registry, while the latter is an updated defrag program. All of these get the Seph Seal of Approval - now, whether that's worth any merit is up for review. ;)

Oh yes, and more stuff (since I can't actually edit my last comment - SO RAAAAME).

Since I was highly curious, Superpower is apparently a political simulation game. Never heard of it, myself.

Also, I am still drafting, however slowly, plans for a dwarven tower. It's been so long since I last played, but the file and plans I had were... epic. Eight dwarves turning rough rocks to stone, then (slowly but surely) laying down walls, floors, and stairs for a multi-story, multi-room workshop spire of awesome. Of course, with the new version... back to the drawing board. Got any suggestions, oh master of the mines?

Starcraft is fun in the story mode if you like real time strategy games.
