Download The Bauer-Power Security Pack

Many moons ago, like most guys in the biz, I used to do my own Geek Squad style home computer repair/consulting gig. It was a pretty sweet racket. So many home users trashing their computers, so little time! I was making money hand over fist advertising on Craig's List, and doing spyware cleanups in the evening.

One of my little marketing ploys was to hand out a CD of free software to all of my clients, and I called it the "Bauer-Power Consultation Security Pack!"

Good idea right?

Well, tonight after spending the last three or four hours assisting my two neighbors with their various computer issues, I got to thinking about that CD, so I decided to download some cool and most importantly Free security and performance software, and stick them on a CD to give a kick ass update to the old idea!

My CD includes:

• AVG Anti-virus - Free Antivirus
• Malwarebytes Anti-Malware - Anti-Malware to clean up
• Spybot S&D - Anti-Spyware cleaner
• Zone Alarm - Firewall
• Defraggler - Disk Defragmenter
• Truecrypt - File and Disk Encryption
• Eraser - Secure File Destruction
• Recuva - File Recovery
  

To make it easy to share my CD with all of my friends, family and of course you guys out there in cyberspace, I have saved my Bauer-Power Security Pack CD to an ISO and made it available for you to download here: (Bauer-Power Security Pack)

Feel free to download it, burn it to a CD, and hand it out any time someone tells you that they have a virus, or they mention that they have let their anti-virus lapse, or need to securely erase porn... You get the idea.

If you don't want to take the time to burn them a CD yourself, feel free to send them the link to this post so they can download and burn it themselves!

Free Antivirus and Firewall: Thanks Comodo!

One of my pet peeves is people with antivirus that is not up to date. Seriously now, why even have antivirus if you are not keeping it up to date?

For those of you out there that don't have your antivirus up to date because you are too cheap to renew your license, then don't fret! You are in good hands. I am a cheap skate as well.

Comodo is offering some fabulous FREE security software. Two of them I personally recommend, Comodo Antivirus and Comodo Firewall! Both of them come with a free lifetime license, which means no renewal fees ever! This also means, you can stay secure and still be a cheap skate!

"Who is Comodo?" you ask?

To quote their website, "Comodo is the 2nd largest Certification Authority for ensuring Identity Trust & Assurance on the web." Basically, they are one of the many company's out their that secure websites for banks and other businesses that do online transactions. (Kind of like Verisign). They offer the free software to get their names out there, a sort of free branding advertising if you will. Don't worry though, this software isn't ad-ware, and you won't be getting annoying "Buy me!' advertisements.

I am currently using Comodo's freeware on all of my computers at home, and they are working great! Uninstall your old, non-updated Antivirus now, and get Comodo in there right away! Don't leave yourself open to an attack.
