Comments on: Brad Pitt is dangerous, and still unavailable http://www.celebitchy.com/14264/brad_pitt_is_dangerous_and_still_unavailable/ Stylish celebrity escapism Tue, 14 Feb 2012 05:01:38 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Julie http://www.celebitchy.com/14264/brad_pitt_is_dangerous_and_still_unavailable/#comment-104577 Julie Sat, 20 Sep 2008 20:33:47 +0000 http://www.celebitchy.com/?p=14264#comment-104577 Just a geek note here -- McAfee is no longer the premier anti-virus it once was. It, like the free anti-spyware scanner Ad Aware (which I love dearly and have paid to use), have slipped considerably in their respective fields. A client got a nasty piece of spyware on her computer, and she had McAfee installed. She had been a McAfee subscriber for a number of years, but McA couldn't protect her from this. After 3 hours of chasing this thing, I decided to contact McA to see about using their removal service. They tech I spoke with told me they would charge $89.99 to remove the spyware. I asked him how she could have gotten infected in the first place, since she was running their anti-virus. He told me she must have ignored a McAfee warning and downloaded or opened an infected site. Now, I know this lady. The likelihood that she would go to a porn site is about as great as the likelihood that my dogs will grow wings and fly. McAfee insisted it was her own fault, and if I wanted the spyware removed, it would cost $89. I went to Spy No More, ran their free scanner, found the three registry keys and two files causing the problem, deleted them, and her computer is virus free. Personally, I run AVG free edition, the free AdAware scanner, the free Spybot Search and Destroy, and visit PC Pitstop for a system scan regularly. I’m cheap AND geeky. Sorry to be so long winded. I just hate to see people pay for something when there's a better option out there for free. Just a geek note here — McAfee is no longer the premier anti-virus it once was.

Yeah, all of that Aniston famewhoring didn't pay off. "Management" didn't get a distributor at TIFF. They're even talking "straight to video." http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/awards_festivals/fest_reviews/article_display.jsp?JSESSIONID=7BFmLGPJQqtvhtnYqMtG9lV1hLhT0cmY7Q7rWy1v4yXqWZMQK6Mk!2135715977&&rid=11656 Hey, you know how there were all of those stories about how Pitt & Aniston had dinner (they didn’t) and how now, magically there’s gossip about a Brange break-up?

I love Angelina just as much, but not in the same way. Good-Luck Angie. I'm keeping up with the Oscar-buzz for your role in the Changling. You're WAY overdue for a Best Actress nod. Would love to see you and Brad on the Red Carpet. If you're not nominated, I don't watch OSCAR night. There!!!! Oh Brad, I love you so!! sigh.
