Outbound Firewall
Windows user's worried about Firewalls should read if they are concern on disabling their outbound firewall on their computers. In reality we really don't need it because if your are a cautious user that is watching all the software that you install on your computer. It's pointless to configure an outbound firewall.
Years ago this was a privacy concern, now a days it's a preference because many people know that one way or another your software is going to communicate with it's parent company and send information about it's performance and licensing validation.

Win 8 for Free
Looks like Microsoft is trying something new to try to upgrade users who refuse to upgrade after XP. By either offering a stripped version of Windows 8.1 or for a small fee.
No one yet knows how they plan to market their new stripped down version and how they are going to profit from it. But one thing is for sure, no one's buying yet into it.

Disable Windows 8 Smart Screen
Tired of Windows 8 telling you that the software you download is safe or not safe. All you have to do is disable Smart Screen and take control and Windows the way it use to be in the old days.
Software is meant to be free and when you want to install third party software, it should be your choice on what you want to install without the help of Windows.
Microsoft tries to control everything about users and here's another one of those features they are trying to incorporate into their software to control what you install in their operating system.
Here's how to remove it::
For a start, when you see your first SmartScreen warning (pictured above), don’t be alarmed. It may look like Windows is completely blocking you from running an app, but in actuality you just have to click “More info” to reveal the “Run anyway” button.

Internet Explorer has long had a feature called SmartScreen, which was first implemented in Internet Explorer 8, and has since been a part of IE9, IE10, Hotmail, and now Windows 8. When you visit a website, or open a file, SmartScreen communicates with Microsoft and checks if that website/file are whitelisted or not.
In both cases, SmartScreen pops up a warning if you try to visit a site or open a file that isn’t confirmed to be safe. As a defense against malware, SmartScreen is actually rather effective — and, really, no other browser or OS offers the same kind of protection. SmartScreen can be a little irritating, though, especially if you regularly download third-party EXEs from the internet.
For a start, when you see your first SmartScreen warning (pictured above), don’t be alarmed. It may look like Windows is completely blocking you from running an app, but in actuality you just have to click “More info” to reveal the “Run anyway” button.
To disable SmartScreen entirely, though, hit the Windows key, type SmartScreen, change to the Settings tab, and then click “Change SmartScreen settings.” From there, click “Change Windows SmartScreen settings” from the left-hand menu, then select the “Don’t do anything” radio button.

Will XP Work After Support
Windows XP is near it's final days and many users are asking simple questions like if the software will stop working?, will antivirus stop protecting Windows and you name it.
No need to worry when compared to old version of Windows that Microsoft no longer supports. All that you can expect is that you system will no longer do any updates and if you get malware or virus. We'll your on your own. But if you think about it, nothing has changed when it comes to Windows.
Microsoft is still using it's scare tactics to force users to upgrade at our expense. In the long run if you decide to upgrade or not Windows will always be Windows. Which is an unstable unfinished operating system that everyone praises so much with lots of security holes.

Microsoft Essentials News Update
This could be the end for the so called Microsoft Essentials Antivirus software. The big giant is now recommending that you use third party software to protect your system from viruses.
It looks like Microsoft is coming to terms that the antivirus business is not what it seems to been and there best bet it probably to just kill it's software and concentrate else where.
So far nothing has been announced but if they don't keep up to date this will be the end.
