VIPRE Antivirus is the Fastest!!

Anti-Virus programs operate on two front.   They operate as a utility program that you set to scan your files--usually when you are not using your machine.
Equally as important, anti-virus programs operate in the background as sentries throughout the day while your computer is up and runnings.  This means your anti-virus program is busy scanning incoming data for malicious content even while you are working or playing on it.
Speed is of the essence here.  When computer users notice that their machines are bogging down, it is often (thought not always) the anti-virus program sentry function that is at least partly to blame.
From the Vipre newletter we learned: VIPRE has the fastest real-time protection against 5 major competitors according to a comprehensive test by a leading independent testing organization in November 2010.

VIPRE processed 4,500 megabytes of file data in 195 seconds, compared to a benchmark of 127 seconds; the next closest competitor processed the same data in 233 seconds. Complete results are available upon request from GFI.

Are you a gamer?? A really Serious PC Gamer? or an Aspiring PC Gamer? If not, you can scroll down and check out our other postings.

For the Serious PC Gamer or the Aspiring PC Gamer:

CrexTechs has alway been a place where you could get a custom built computer.  Nowhere is custom building more important than in Serious PC Gaming!!  I say Serious PC Gaming because these components are truly specialized for the gamer who is willing to spend some green to get the gold standard.

We have a gaming guru in our midst here at CrexTechs and we are learning the language of the Serious PC Gaming connoisseur.  What is under the hood is important but the accessories are equally important in Serious PC Gaming.

Did you know that your mouse pad is a source of friction that can slow down your response time.  Serious PC Gamers have, not only specialized mouse pads, but specialized mice that have extra buttons and keyboards with special keys!  Be warned, these accessories are not cheap, but they are worth it!

I will be posting some of the accessories here that we now have available at our shop in Grantsburg so watch this blog!

We will be at the Siren Expo in April ready to show you what we can do for the Serious PC Gamer and to get the Aspiring PC Gamer ready to compete! Watch this blog by subscribing or "liking" us on Facebook for updates.
