I had to reinstall my OS(I have Windows 7) because I had a feeling my PC was affected with some spywares.
Sometimes, I see pop-up ads on my own website! That was a horrible joke. So I went ahead and reinstalled my OS. However, since reinstalling a OS is not an easy task and since it wipes out almost every computer program and my personal settings, I decided to look for a solution that could help me with security along with my antivirus software.

The solution is McAfee Security Scan Plus.
McAfee Security Scan Plus is a free software from McAfee. Since they are one of the oldest companies who offers security solutions, there is no doubt that this is a safe product.
You can download McAfee Security Scan Plus here: http://home.mcafee.com/downloads/free-virus-scan?ctst=1

This application is only 3.27MB weighted and only takes few seconds to installed on your system.
After installing launch the application and click on the button labeled “Scan“. Few seconds later, you will have suggestions to fix the issues on your computer.

McAfee Security Scan Plus scans your computer for up-to-dated antivirus software, firewall and McAfee SiteAdvisor. And also scans for spywares. Since I didn’t had any since I installed Security Scan Plus, I can’t comment on how to fix the issues if there is. But I guess that they recommend another McAfee product to installed on your computer. So this is another business trick.(?!)
But, does that mean you wouldn’t use this free application?

OK. This is not gonna be soft if I assume. But I am not writing this post in a rude manner either. It is just to inform DMEHosting users and to-be users about the way they handle VPS hosting business.

If you read my blog post 123Systems, you may know that I changed my host. And that was DMEHosting.
The reasons for choosing DMEHosting over some other competitors were,

1. Cheap price for a nice performed server.(3.95$/month for a 256MB server)
2. I have good ping times to their network. So I had assumed that Asia has good speeds to them
3. Their representative at WebHostingTalk looked to have good knowledge about what they are doing.

And also few other reasons as well. So I chose DMEHosting for hosting my website and ordered their OpenVZ server OVZ 1 on 18th of October 2011.

I must say I am not a negative reviewer by any meaning. And I can barely remember anything I’ve said bad things about. That’s why my blog had qualified for many “sponsored reviews”. Even though that is going to be changed after this blog post is written, I am going through it. I think it worth the cost.

I will start from the beginning of the story.
123Systems are advertising on WHT a lot. (well, that’s allowed:) ) And their packages are very cheap and I since I wanted to host my own website only, I ignored those lots of bad reviews about them on WHT and bought the Lin-256MB package.
Setup was instant and I got my VPS instantly after I paid my invoice through PayPal.
