Microsoft Security Essentials – Final version released

,
Microsoft-Security-EssentialsThe long awaited “Microsoft Security Essentials” is released 🙂  and as the beta looked promising and the company I work for has been using “Forefront Client Security” (the corporate version) for a year now, I was looking forward to trying this out… I fired up my browser and went to “http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/“, however as I live in Denmark I was met by this message; 
Not available in your country or region
You appear to be in a country or region where
Microsoft Security Essentials is not available.
Thank you for your interest in Microsoft Security Essentials.
Shown in 9 languages (of cause not in Danish), well bummer…   However as I have access to a US proxy I just changed the proxy settings and things brightened up 🙂  So I am now the happy ‘owner’ of “Microsoft Security Essentials”, the thing about this is it’s free 😀 Should you want to check this product out, just direct your browser to; http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ And should you get the same annoying message stating that it is ‘Not available in your country’, then you might want to take a look at; www.torproject.org  TorProject is mostly an anonymity solution that allows you to browse without being tracked by IP etc, however they also offer the possibility to select which breakout/proxy you wish to use, and here you can select a US breakout and you can fool the MS server into letting you download all the same – you may also need to modify your IE settings to show a US regional code etc. but it should all be possible.. Want more details and maybe a review? Visit here; http://www.winsupersite.com/win7/mse.asp Enjoy. Update! You may be able to download MSE from here even if you are not in the US 🙂

Airdate: Stargate Universe – Oct 9th 2009

At last, Tomorrow is the day when a new Sci-fi series airs 🙂  Yeah…  it is the new offspring of the Stargate saga named “Stargate Universe” – and I do have high hopes for this..  The other two series Stargate SG1 and Stargate Atlantis both was great, and the new replacement will hopefully be equally good.  The plot as far as I know is that one of the Stargate builder ships is discovered, and upon a group of Stargate personnel investigating this they are caught on the ship as it travels the universe, lets see how that turns out…

So if you are in the US, you’d better reserve 2 hours on Friday October 9th 2009 for some Sci-fi 😀

Here you will have the opportunity to see how websites looked in the past, it was funny looking at some of my old websites and reliving how they looked 🙂  Nostalgia.
