Do you have two monitors connected to one computer. Connecting multiple monitors is pretty easy to do but how about effectively using those monitors. Lets say you have two monitors side-by-side and you always want an app to open on the right-hand monitor. Without UltraMon this is basically impossible but with it you simply set a property that says open this on monitor 2, for example. And then every time you open that app it will open on the monitor you chose. You can find UltraMon here: www.ultramon.com

We have been using Vipre anti-virus for over a year and found it to be terrific.

Now we have upgraded to the Vipre Premium edition.

What I particularly like is that they offer a version for home and home office where for one price you can install it on all of your home machines. For example, I have five machines making this a very good deal.

You will find Vipre at Sunbelt-Software.com.

We’ve all experienced a crashed computer and when you’re computer crashes you then think about all of the things you should have done. Sometimes you can do a system restore using a restore point created by the Microsoft Windows® System Restore and sometimes that works.

The Rollback console

A better and more automatic solution is Rollback from Horizon Data Systems. You can find it here.  With Rollback installed if there is a problem with booting up you can invoke the Rollback feature before the boot failure and a bit later you’re back in business.
