If anybody is interested in what Threatfire behaviour based A/V can do, there's a review here: http://uk.pcmag.com/threatfire-45/23.../threatfire-45
This can run alongside regular A/V software and if used with the previously discussed 'timefreeze' should make a pretty foolproof means of avoiding vulnerability to ransomware attacks and other zero day nasties and more.
I was playing around with a spare machine with Windows 7 on it, accidentally knocked the IEC mains connector and interrupted the mains. On restarting the machine got the Window repair screen. Let it run, it said it could not repair the system. I have had this situation several times with W7, XP seems more resistant to power interruptions.
I have found several times with W7, if power is interrupted and the repair screen does not work, just going into safe mode and then normal boot, seems to put things right.
That's handy to know. I'd probably try it anyway, but knowing in advance could be useful, because I'm fitting my PC mains lead with a plug that has an 'on/off' switch. I'm doing this because I've occasionally spotted bugs start loading and kill the computer by pressing and holding the off button, but an immediate switch off would be more successful in stopping nasties.
I just did something silly. I downloaded and installed Threatfire, but forgot to turn off 'Timefreeze'. Needless to say, it was missing on reboot! :lol:
I'll do it again right now!
PC running well with Threatfire anti virus and 'timefreeze' activated on top of the usual Microsoft Security Essentials. Can't see any infections getting through that lot! Scan done with Spyware Expert as well. All is 'tickety-boo' for now.
I help an elderly (older than me!) neighbour with his computer on occasions, he's visually impaired and is finding reading text on his old Dell 19" monitor difficult. In Windows 7 I have tried adjusting the text size and resolution, but I think was is really needed is a bigger and better monitor. Any suggestions for something that is not too expensive?
My own 24" widecreen BenQ GL2450H is good, but not really any bigger measured top to bottom of screen, than his old Dell 19".
Yes he should look at using http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=vinux
which has support for both Braille and visually impaired persons.
and it is free
Hope this helps.

Hard to say. I always buy second hand monitors. My current 22" HP has given good service for years. May go for something bigger soon. I also have crap eyesight. :)
There's a used 24" Asus on ebay for £80 in Harrow. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ASUS-VW247...kAAOSwtGlZFa77
Win 10 has better things for visually impared.. he will get a free upgrade from 7.
