- Marino Shauye - Protect your PC without slowing it downI always trust Kaspersky to protect my PC, and the 2012 edition doesn't disappoint. It's easy-to-use and streamlined to keep your system running smoothly.
Installation was fairly straightforward and simple. In my Windows Vista environment, it took about 10 minutes for a fresh install. I have a three-year-old system, so I was concerned that it would take a while. But this wasn't the case here.
After launching the software, my initial impression was that the interface seemed very streamlined and easy to use. All the vital features are readily accessible and everything you need to protect your system is there on the main interface page. What I enjoyed the most was the drag-and-drop feature that allows you to simply drag a file into the interface and it scans it right away.
The other scanning features are pretty straightforward, and not like previous versions, the software lets you to do a full or partial scan. A full scan will take a quite a while: on my computer, it took about an hour or so to complete. If you're impatient or don't have the time, you can just run the critical areas scan, which takes significantly less amount of time. The initial software update also took quite a while, but that's to be expected given Kaspersky's large threats database.
While running in the background, the software doesn't seem to drain too much memory - a huge bonus. I tested it by opening up iTunes, World of Warcraft, and a browser with three open tabs. Even with those programs running simultaneously, I didn't notice much of a slowdown at all. This may not be the case if you have a much older computer, however.
Overall, this is a solid product, with a rich amount of features and an easy-to-use interface. Most of all, it's not a resource hog. So, scan and browse away with confidence! - Heather "Buried in Books" - No Spoilers here---Loved the Characters and the World!1Taken is one of those books I feel like I've been waiting forever to read. But once I started reading it, I felt like I'd just started it and it was already ending. I have been dying to know, what happens to the boys during the Heist? Where do they go? How does the population survive? Since the first time I saw the premise of this book, it has probably hooked me better than any other book I've ever read a premise for simply because boys disappearing right in front of everyone?? That's a scary thought.
Gray has an older brother, Blaine who is taken in the beginning of the story. I've never had a book made me swallow the lump in my throat by the third chapter, but when Gray talked about how lonely he was, I was about to bawl! He's this big strong boy that hunts and takes care of himself, but inside, he's this scared kid. He's lost everyone he loves and he has no one to talk to about his feelings. It is really sad.
The world is very Hunger Games like. Except the men aren't men. They are boys. Otherwise it kind of reminds me of a town in a western movie. There is no technology and rudimentary medical supplies. They have no electricity or running water. No indoor plumbing. But except for the Heist, people seem satisfied with their lives, not living in poverty.
Then there is the Wall. It's as if it's a living breathing thing. It Walls the people of Claysoot in and the rest of whatever else is out there, out. Brave or scared individuals have climbed the tree that reaches the top of the wall and tried to look past the wall. All that's visible is black nothingness. Anyone that goes over the wall, their body turns up the next day, charred and burned. Some boys do this to escape the Heist.
I am stopping my review here. I haven't told you anything past the summary because I'm not going to spoil anything for you. But that is just one quarter of the book. It took me only a couple of hours to read this book, I couldn't put it down. Plus, I had to know what was going on. I LOVE Gray Weathersby. He is impulsive and rash, but he has so much fire and life to him, he's such a great character. He wants to save everyone and I love him for that! The writing is easy and as you might have guessed, fast paced. There is a lot of character growth and a lot of action. Things that could have been over explained were thankfully only gone over once. Everything was explained just enough, but not in too much detail, to make it interesting but not cumbersome. And no cliffhangers or insta love!
I'm ready for the next book, please! Can I be a Beta reader? Please!!!
Great start to a new dystopian series! Recommended for lovers of dystopians with some romance, maybe a bit of sci-fi and great characters.
Let me know if you read it and what you thought!
I received an E-Arc of this novel from HarperTeen through Edelweiss for review. The opinions expressed are my own. I was not compensated for my review.
