Hmm ...

Not sure what to make of this. Two compainies with KickStarteresqe funding projects have 80% lower receivers available. The price is certainly right if you'd like to finish one out, and one is even a billet.

The Coalbank Metal Works project is 49% funded.

The Sierra Nevada Arms project is 70% funded.

Changes ...

Upgraded the blogger account tonight by purchasing a domain name. The new URL will be www.therebelyell.net. Those of you with the current URL (www.shooter-ready.blogspot.com) bookmarked, will simply be redirected to the new one. The changes should take place in the next 72 hrs. or so. This shouldn't effect anything ... i hope. The last time i did something this radical the entire blog template was deleted. It took 2 weeks to write all the code rebuilding this mess ...

Malware

After having some problems with IE7 being hi-jacked, and that fake 'Virus Scanner' obnoxiously trying to get my attention on both IE7 and Chrome, I did a little more research and came with a solution (so far-so good). I hope. Don't know whether it'll help with the browser hi-jacking but it seems to have given that 'virus-scanner' malware a much needed smackdown.

The only name brand security i use is McAfee as my ISP provides it for free. It catches things that Norton doesn't. But that is a double-edged sword, because i have had Norton catch stuff that McAfee didn't recognize. AVG is a free program that works (in my opinion) just as good as either. Yesterday's research pointed me towards a program that i hadn't heard of called MalwareBytes. So after looking around some more, discovered that it has some really favorable reviews from :

Download.Com

FileHippo

MajorGeeks

And even AVG has some really good pointers for using it on their FORUM. I suspect that it will work just fine without going to the extent that I did by following their guidelines. I had already been using SpyBot S&D even though it sometimes has it's quirks ...

It caught 3 items, one of which was that obnoxiously pesky virus-scanner ... my browsing speed has been significantly increased. Now installing 2 more gigs of RAM will be just the kick-in-the-arse this thing needs. LOL ...

A lot of these problems can be avoided by using Mozilla/Firefox, although i really don't care for the way it displays things ...
