Paying for a decent anti-virus scanner is so much better than the free ones, but for free...
Anti-virus
AVG
Not virus scanner's but spyware scanners. Which are also very handy
Ad-aware SE
Spybot Search&Destroy
Scan with each of them every so often to keep your system secure
I would also suggest a firewall if you aren't using one at the moment.
Zone Alarm
Yeah go there if you want to get ripped off.
Ipod's are probably the best about at the moment, but some others are getting there, like Creative. The Ipod's may be a fashion accesory to some people but I hear they are still decent mp3 players
Yeah I realise it's not easy, but wouldn't you force yourself if something big was at stake, like a first place in a team, the difference between beating another boy to a ball, etc.?
I quite agree, a smoker is not going to be at his physical peak. Surely their coach would get them to try to quit.
It's like my old flatmate, he tried to get fit but just kept smoking. If you really wanted to get fit surely you would realise that smoking isn't helping. I guess I don't understand since I've never been a smoker.
