Well, well, well no real news here about Microsoft Security Essentials is there? I personally tried and tested Microsoft Security Essentials months ago on one my computers here, and uninstalled it after 2 weeks. And the reason was it would not update itself at least daily or even regularly. I’d leave the computer on for days and Microsoft Security Essentials would not check or auto update the virus definitions unless I manually updated it through the program. 4 days would go by with an old outdated def file, before I had to manually check for updates. It is critical that Anti Virus programs update AT LEAST once per day, better programs update multiple times a day which is ever better. Every once in a while MSE would auto update itself, but for the most part MSE would not, or did not auto update. Manual updates worked but would take forever to download and install……………….

Internal Gateway Laptop Fan Exhaust
Heat is a problem in every computer, and more so in laptops. With dust accumulation around the computers air vents, fans and poorly applied thermal compound by the manufacture that can break down overtime, heat can increase which will cause problems with the laptop or computer. Dual, Triple and quad core processors now in laptops?? I know they are lower voltage, and MAYBE lower temperatures, but it makes no sense to me.
Installing a temperature monitoring program and having it run I highly advise, ESPECIALLY if you own a laptop. I have seen way to many hardware failures in laptops due to overheating. Temperature monitoring program should be mandatory on laptops. Not so much with desktop systems, but definitely recommended with a laptop!

How To Restore Asus G53JW Back To Factory – Recovery Partition
The Asus G53JW does have a factory recovery partition to “clean” install the operating system. As always make sure to make recovery disks or system image after reinstalling, so you have a set. If your hard drive is failing or has failed, the recovery partition on the bad drive will be of no use to you. That’s when you will need your recovery disks or system image disk you made to reload the operating system.
After unpacking this laptop out of the box, it took 5 DVD’s to burn the recovery disk(s) image. With all the Asus software, drivers etc that is included in the factory recovery partition.
PLEASE NOTE: any of these procedures WILL ERASE ALL data from your computer. Make sure you keep backups of all important data at all times!
