Anti-Virus software

Been thinking about picking up that Webroot combo deal on sale at Best Buy. Has anyone used Sopho's/Webroot's Anti-Virus? Bloated? Works well?

I know Spy Sweeper gets good reviews but haven't heard anything about Sopho's AV.

SAA Ad on CDRLabs

I went to CDRLabs from a friend's computer tonight to look at the news, and was thus, not logged on. The first main ad I saw was for SAA - South African Airways.

Just thought that was really cool, considering this is an American based site for optical drives and media.

I like!

Looking for advice on NEC 3550

Hello,

I have been using an NEC 3550 as my drive for burning. I will also occasionally run error scans on random discs using the same NEC 3550 with CD/DVD Speed. Usually they come out acceptable and I just move on.

However, recently I burned about 20 DVD's on Verbatim DLP Inkjet Printable +R, MCC003 (Made in Taiwan) disc . The first few I tested came out ok, and then I started to notice large ...

I found out the following information on net :
"Buy discs with a gold reflective layer if you're archiving. Use discs with a silver reflective layer for the best compatibility with older drives and players. "

Smart 3D menus cause NeroVision 4 hang

Has anyone downloaded the Smart 3D menus for NeroVision in the Templates update? I have tried several of them and NeroVision hangs preparing for transcoding. I have even let it run for close to 24 hours and it never moves while continuing to eat almost 100% CPU. No log file is created. The animated and other menus work fine. I am running XP home SP2.
