CCleaner SuperAntispyware
Ccleaner and SuperAntispyware have been great so far. SuperAntispyware http://www.superantispyware.com/ found a Google ad application that I was really surprised about. It must have come along with chrome. I think Google must use it to help select which advertisements to show you. They gain from it because they can tell potential clients that they gear advertisements to the customer’s personal information. You get adware and spyware when you download things. I was surprised that I had 11 things come up in the spyware search, I don’t think I even downloaded 11 things but when I looked at what they were it made sense. I don’t think all spyware or adware is particularly dangerous to a PC it probably just depends on who is controlling it and to what extent it takes information and uses memory. Spy ware might be more problematic if it was used to record keystrokes or steal your IP address.

About Gettin JINGy with it
I learned alot about computers from useing Jing and CrossLoop. There are an infinite number of aplications for tools like this. From businesses customer support systems to just one friend showing another how to do something. I also thought about how fun using Jing could potentialy be. If one used Jing while playing games they could post their acomplishments to the web or send it to friends. I once saw a video on youtube where a guy painted a perfect car using microsoft paint. I always wondered how he captured his actions on the screen and then sped them up. He must have used a program like Jing. I think I'll use both these programs (or at least ones like them) outside of IT class. Knowing that usefull free software like this is readaly available will make me look for an easier solution to a complex task later if i am faced with one. There could have been other ways to preform the functions of Jing i.e. using a camera. But the ease and availability of this program was perfect for the project that was presented.

Why do factories stil produce nail clippers?
Wouldent one nail clipper per person in the world be suficient? Where do they all go because people buy then at cvs or wallgreens regularly. They dont break. What happens to the thousands that get taken at airport security? Do they disapear of the face of the earth? WHERE DO THEY ALL GO?
