So I have an Windows 7, for two months and would like to talk about some security thoughts that I would recommend to anyone who has a 64 bit system.

Now it is true that 64 bit systems are a little more secure or I would call less exploited because of how many people actually are using 32 bit systems and not 64 bit system. So the virus and exploit writers are focusing on the 32 bit system but sooner or later 64 bit system will become main stay. I am sure it will happen in the coming years, just not sure when.

So I want to talk about just what you should have installed and why you should have some type of security with your 64 Bit systems. I am sure I can hear people asking me about the 64 bit drivers for these programs. I am here to tell you about my experiences with Windows 7. To be truthful, the drivers for programs have been very easy to find and not anywhere hard to use for Windows 7. I have SuperAntiSpyware, AVG 9.0, ZoneAlarm Pro, and Malwarebytes running on this system at any given time.

If your have been having problems with Flash Players stoping after 2 seconds of playing.  I have a few ideas to try to get rid of the problem.  It used to happen all the time with Vista in the early days.  Here’s what I did to occasionally get the flash player to work:

• Cleaning out the Prefetch Directory! — Having seen this from time to time. If you have programs startup that might need to be refreshed this will refresh them so that they run like new. You occasionally can get programs that will load in a odd way and this will fix that also.

• You want to be more anonymous? — Cleaning out your cache on your browser can sometimes fix the problem. It’s like anything else it can sometimes be corrupted.

• Some Important programs to prevent yourself from having viruses and Malware!! — Having seen this with my own two eyes, if you have a viruses or malware on your system that too can cause problems with playback of flash media.  So just double check making sure you don’t have any viruses.
