Well, I as as usual doin my stuff, listening to AI lectures that I downloaded from the internet when suddenly, this popped up : This is as it says a monthly report of “what Norton has been doing” over the last 1 month and I see it had blocked, cleaned, a lot of stuff, etc. Well, thanks to this I realized that its been a month since I installed it ;) I really don’t get it. Why does Norton have to show that? Maybe yet another desperate effort to show the users that they have improved over what we are familiar with :) That aside, considering the whole month, I don’t see any problems other than the ones I mentioned earlier and my computer doesn’t exhibit any kind of problems in terms of performance or any other which we would suspect as a malicious or a virus caused activity. I can now recommend Norton to new users. I’m gonna use this license for the year and probably end up buying it later on. Lets see.

Well, its been almost two years since I have been working for Accenture and its clients. Today, I just had a thought about the kind of projects the Computer Science students of my college used to do. The common types include all these “Management Systems” like Inventory, Hospital and so on. During the college days how people do or rather get forced to do is to just make a gimmick out of them with basic C/C++ on a command-line interface and making a what they call “Menu driven program”. Now that I have been in the industry for some time and have learned and developed or been part of the development of solutions to a number of clients, I thought how about resurrecting an old school program that I made using what I have seen/learned over the years. Lets be honest here. I was gettin bored having nothing to do and this came out as a result of 5mins of scribbling on a paper. Heres AK’s Library Solution. At this point I’m not sure which library can afford such a solution. Maybe the Librar...

I believe you all have seen my previous post about Norton 360 where I was very unhappy with the beta. In addition to testing the beta, the reason why I never included the release versions so far is because I have seen that it doesn’t make a difference between what I’ve seen with the beta. My office desktop has the Norton in it and it always gets in the way of my work. I mean all the time, whenever I need to get something done urgently, the first thing to do is to disable Norton and then get it done. Now, why I felt like including this 2010 version of Norton Internet Security is still a mystery to me. Now let me tell you what I do on my non-working hours. I have accounts in a few social networking websites, including Facebook and Linkedin and I do occasionally enter the “technical” forums and discuss with people over there on the latest technology trends and lots of high tech stuff. Now, couple of weeks ago I ran into this guy Steve, who works in Symantec. It was a security experts fo...
