Anti-virus software is a necessity for any computer in todays world. The number of viruses that are created every day goes up every year. It is shocking to see how many of these threats are created both here in the US and worldwide.

Therefore it is imperative that every person keep up to date with their anti-virus software. Do not expect to be safe with any older versions as newer and more destructive viruses are created every day.

A large amount of credit cards get exposed every day by these viruses. This can be avoided with the correct type of anti-virus software that is updated on a daily basis.

RANGER REBOUND

Carrying a one-goal lead into the final period against one of the hottest teams in the NHL, the Rangers played one of their best periods of the season and finished with an extremely important 5-2 victory over the Pittsburgh Penguins on Tuesday night at Madison Square Garden.

Sean Avery and Martin Straka scored third-period goals for the Blueshirts, who snapped a two-game skid with the win. Goaltender Henrik Lundqvist, who was excellent earlier in the contest against the high-flying Pens, faced only five shots in the final stanza, and finished with 24 saves on the night for the 100th win of his NHL career.

The Rangers now have 85 points on the season and have moved to within two points of the 5th place team in the Eastern Conference, the Ottawa Senators, heading into Wednesday's clash in Newark against the conference-leading New Jersey Devils.

If the playoffs started today the Rangers would be in 6th place and would play the Carolina Hurricanes, who even though they have less points then the Rangers('Canes have 83 points), they still hold the 3 seed due to their lead in their division.

Briefly describing the article.. I believe that there should be limitations on pirated movies that are posted online. I believe that Google should stop being ignorant and should join the MPAA and agree that all websites use on unified way for tracking pirated movies online. If Google continues to use its own version then like it says in the article, other websites will create their own way as well. This will enable people to chose and find which sight is more lenient and that sight will be the most common.

My experience with YouTube is that some video clips that are posted are immediately taken down. One example is MLB clips. One blogger posted his own video of a pitcher warming up during spring training and it was immediately taken down because of the rights that MLB has.

This is similar to music in that music was readily and easily downloaded in the late 90's for free, and then they came down hard on it and now you have itunes stores etc... and now with this explosion of video sites, i dont think that making people pay for it is the answer, i believe that putting commercials or viewing in the creators website is the correct answer to this problem.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

ps this is a college assignment so i had to put it in my blog.
