Acer
If you buy your Acer system at an online retailer or a store, the policy is the same. Customers with eligible systems should go to the Acer upgrade page, where you will have gone through the process. It helps to have the serial number of your system available. He is a 22-digit number. For laptops, the serial number is located on the bottom. There will be a white label with 22 characters starting with "LX." For desktop computers, serial number is usually located on the right side, at the bottom of the side panel. There will be a white label with a 22 character S/N: starting with "PS" or "PT". After ordering, the upgrade kit will be sent to customers.
ASUS
ASUS customers with eligible systems may request their update on the Web site. It's a good idea to have the serial number of your system available. Customers with a laptop EeePC can find their serial number on a label at the base of the system. It is listed under the barcode after the letters "SN". Customers with other models of laptop ASUS may also find the sticker at the base of their systems. The serial number will be 10 or 15 characters and be preceded by the letters "SN". For desktop computers, the tile should be on the side or the back of the system, with the 12-digit alphanumeric (letter and number) code is right under the code upper bar (are there two) on the sticker.
Reference Dell
According to Dell, it does not matter if you bought your system directly from the company or from another retailer (such as Best Buy or Staples), as long as you bought it within the above period. Eligible Dell customers with a system should go to the Dell site to save their system. The site will guide you in the process. It's a good idea to note the name of the model of your system as well as your office or serial number of the laptop. It's a unique five digit alphanumeric (letter and number) code that you find on a white label with bar code on your Dell computer. For desktop computers, the label located on the back or on the side panel. For laptops, the label located on the bottom of the system. After recording with success your system, Dell will send you a DVD of Windows 7 to install. The site also includes a section on frequently asked questions.
eMachines
Customers with eligible systems (that is purchased from a retailer online or in a store) should go to upgrade eMachines website, where you will have gone through the process. It helps to have the serial number of your system available. As Acer systems (since eMachines is owned by Acer), he is a 22-digit number. For laptops, the serial number is located on the bottom. There will be a white label with 22 characters starting with "LX." For desktop computers, serial number is usually located on the right side, at the bottom of the side panel. There will be a white label with a 22 character S/N: starting with "PS" or "PT". After ordering, the upgrade kit will be sent to customers.

Sony will then send you the installation disc.

To request the upgrade, customers can view upgrade page on the website of the company. Toshiba advises clients to their system part number, serial number, place of purchase and Date of purchase available when they fill out the form on the site. The upgrade kit will be sent to them later.
Velocity Micro
According to Velocity Micro, who ship their systems directly and not is not available from third-party retailers, the company can currently ship new systems with Windows 7 installed. Controlled since June 26 systems delivered with Windows 7 upgrade coupons. The coupon redirects the user to a page on the Velocity Micro site where they can enter their address. They will be free of charge a copy of the Windows 7 upgrade kit mailed to them directly from Microsoft. For older systems the time limit eligibility to miss, Velocity Micro can sell copies of Windows 7 OEM, gets it with new material. This means that the company would have to do an upgrade of the system in order to be able to sell to these customers an OEM copy.

I would like to know what is the best virus protection software
original title: Best Antivirus.
Hello.
I would like to know what is the best antivirus. specification as below.
load the use of fast, low memory, detection, quick update and quick scan. I want to know because I install Norton Antivirus 2010. But my father said to my office workload and slow computer.
Is - this Bit Defender, Norton, Avast, Avira, ESET Nod or what?
I don't care about the price.
Hello
Here's what I use and recommend: (these are all free and very effective versions.)
Avast and Prevx proved extremely reliable and compatible with all I have
launched on them. Microsoft Security Essentials and Prevx have also proven to be very
reliable and compatible. Use MSE or Avast and Prevx, Prevx 3 but not all.Avast Home free - stop any shields is not necessary except leave the file system, Web,.
Operational network (Script and behavior are also recommended in Ver 6 +).Prevx - Home - free
Windows Firewall
Windows Defender (is not necessary if you use MSE)
Protected IE - mode
IE 8 - SmartScreen filter WE (IE 7 phishing filter)
I also IE always start with asset if filter InPrivate IE 8.
(It may temporarily turn off with the little icon to the left of the + bottom
right of IE)Two versions of Avast are available 6.x and 4.8 x
Avast - home - free - 6.x stop shields you do not use (except files, Web, network, &)
Shields of behavior) - double click on the icon in the Notification area - real time Orange - click on the
Shield that you want to stop - STOP. To stop the Orange icon to show an error indicator-
Click on the Orange icon - top right - settings - click on the status bar - uncheck shields you
disabled - click OK
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-downloadAvast 4.8 x - home - free - stop shields, you don't need except leaving Standard, Web,.
and the network running. (Double-click the blue icon - look OK. - upper left - Shields details
Finish those you don't use).
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download#TAB4Or use Microsoft Security Essentials - free
http://www.Microsoft.com/Security_Essentials/Prevx works well alongside MSE or Avast
Prevx - home - free small, fast, exceptional protection CLOUD, working with other security
programs. It is a single scanner, VERY EFFICIENT, if it finds something come back here
or use Google to see how to remove.

http://www.PCMag.com/Article2/0, 2817,2346862,00.aspAlso get Malwarebytes - free - use as scanner only. If you ever think malware and that
would be unusual with Avast and occasional Prevx running with the exception of a low level cookie
(not much), to UPDATE and then run it as a scanner. I have a lot of scanners and they
never find anything of note that I started to use this configuration.

I didn't make a copy of the message that I had, and now it does not come to the top. He just showed twice on my screen when I open Firefox now (10/28). So, for now at least, I don't have the details, but I would do this more general: I would like to know what I get anytime, I get a message from Firefox there is something to add on software. I have only been recently using Firefox and got messages from update several times.
Firefox 16.0.2 contains a security fix that is described on this page: https://www.mozilla.org/security/know.../firefox.html. I don't know if he has something urgent for everyone or relatively rare.
Modules (plugins and extensions) are often updated as well. Some of them, such as updates to Adobe Flash, are updates of important security, while others might be adding new features. It is very difficult to generalize... If in doubt, you can always manually check for updates.
- Extensions: orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Modules > "Gear" menu > check for updates
- Plugins: https://www.mozilla.org/plugincheck/

I have ACER Aspire V3 - 574 G - 7198 and I would like to know what size of RAM can handle my motherboard? I know that the my processor can handle up to 16 GB of RAM, now I have installed only 4 GB of RAM (original), but I want to update to 12 GB of RAM. I want to know if my motherboard can handle?
I have received and read your private message. Yes, you can install 8 GB + 4 GB (current module). They will work at 1600 instead of 800 MHz (single channel). You will see the difference!
Here are the compatible memory modules:
If you have the budget, I recommend buying a set of 16 GB (2x8Gb).
