Protect Your System with VIPRE Antivirus software

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Sunbelt Software for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

As new technologies are gearing, to utilize the same are also on the rise brains who are using their keyboards to break the walls of the most powerful antivirus programs. But these malicious elements do not know there are great masters of antivirus modules such as VIPRE too who can tie together antivirus as well as antispyware together into a single, software tool.

The technologies combined together give you a great performance in the software that does not allow your PC to get slowed down and also makes it very simple too to give complete protective cover to your PC. VIPRE antivirus has proved itself to be strong and stunning as with it we feel totally safe. It happens to be really great, as it does not obstruct the work during its installation process. Secondly unlike other antivirus its “protection technology” makes use of the signature matching and heuristic analyses so even while you are in a process of scanning, you can carry on with your work smoothly.

Earlier I had installed Norton Antivirus but to my dismay it was giving me a lot of trouble, as the speed of my computer would often get slowed down. But now it is no more, as now I have the protection of VIPRE; it has given my system complete protection that I needed. This antivirus is truly amazing and the most efficient of all the antivirus programs I have ever known. It generally just finds few cookies at the background and with so much of ease and efficiency it operates that it really makes your life on your own net world great.

10,000 Nissan Leaf EV Cars Sold Maybe Closer to 11,000 @nissanleaf

Reports are that Nissan is blowing past all estimates in number of units sold.
Owning production number 6023, I know that there have been at least 6000 vehicles sold, but now reports are that the number is closer to 11000, production and assembly continue to increase with big plans for plant production increases in TN.

The Nissan Leaf is very popular by all estimates, dealers have a hard time getting them and if someone with a reservation cancels a new buyer is ready and available to jump in.

Early this evening I saw two Leafs drive by. I think the trend will continue, there is really no stopping this now. The oil companies are making inroads in the area, and know that they have to prepare to adapt and support the infrastructure of the EV movement or they will be left behind. Hydrogen vehicles are still a way off, maybe five years. In the meantime we will see tens of thousands of EVs sold. There are arguments for and against EVs, but people who need new cars and don’t want to support the oil companies, can make a difference.

Range and charging stations continue to be the primary concern among owners, unless you drive no more than 60 miles per day, to allow for AC/Heat and hills. Los Angeles is full of hills, not as much as San Francisco, but there are lots of hills.
