So, tonights post is probably going to be moved to tomorrow, I neglected to factor in that I had work tonight and I really just ran out of time to throw everything together, really sorry, I’ll have it up as soon as possible!

So, you’ve got your new browser window open and you’re pumped to go onto the internet. Now hold it there Mr.Eager Beaver!

Before you venture into the dangerous clutches of the internet you should make sure you have an anti-virus (I’m just going to say AV from now on) to watch your back.

Just like with the browsers, there are many options for an AV. Each program has its own pro’s and con’s… So lets just get started!

So, as a person who works with computers a lot, I generally get questions as to what I believe is the best configuration for a new Windows installation. Over the next few days I’m going to attempt to write up an article or a series of articles as to how I set up a computer, why I set it up this way, and to list the different potential programs/options you have when you’re setting up your own computer at home.

The schedule is going to  look something like this:

Tonight – Browsers

Tomorrow – Anti-Virus

5/26/10 – Media

5/27/10 – Image management

5/28/10 – Office Environments

5/29/10 – General Utilities

5/31/10 – Customization and Extra’s

All these dates have the possibility to be changed in the next few days, because I get lazy.. But hopefully you  will be left with a semi presentable explanation of my general startup configuration/configurations.
