Funny name...Realiable and Cheap Insurance

The first time I ever heard of Wawanesa, I said, "WaWa what?" Then I heard that they offer the lowest rates in car insurance as compared against the State Farms, AAAs, and Geicos out there and then asked politely, "How do you spell that again?"

Well, these are not a fly by night operation. They have been around since the mid 1800s and have an excellent reputation for fast claims service.

The catch for the cheapest insurance you ask? Well, you have to be a good driver in good standing or else they will not accept you. So if your record is clean, save seriously big on your insurance here:

Beating a Speeding Ticket

Did you know that the average cost of a moving violation ticket after the insurance rate hike is about $830? Yikes! (You can close your mouth now). Yeah, my jaw dropped too.

Anyways, a few months ago I was issued a moving violation for an alledged "not following posted sign" to merge with traffic. It was totally bogus (yeah I know everyone says that) but in this case it was because the officer decided to simply pull me over while his police trainee was "learning" how to write a ticket...this actually happened!

Anyways, I knew I couldn't be in the wrong because the sign was old and my strip of freeway onramp was widened so that now my lane automatically merges with traffic. Needles to say, I was pissed for being issued a totally bogus ticket for the sake of "training". Luckily, I had my camera phone and took a small video the second I was pulled over consisting of the lane where my car was and the so-called officer's comments of "learning" how to write a ticket to his trainee.

Well, I had my day in court, and yes the officer showed and yes I fought the law and the law lost because of the video. The judge acknowledged that the stop was not only unneccesssary but in the judges words, "bordering illegal" and reprimanded the officer in front of the whole court. My ticket was thrown out (insert applause and tears of joy here).

Well, that was my personal story but I came accross an interesting article that speaks in plain English on how to beat the average ticket. Remember, a few minutes of your time could save you hundreds of dollars in car insurance rate hikes.

Here is the link to the page.

Protect your computer from Hackers...Part 2..The Firewall

Did you know that an unprotected PC fresh from the computer distributor like Dell, Gateway, Best Buy, etc. will be infected with worms and possibly viruses within minutes of going onto the internet. Yup, MINUTES.

There is a multi-prong defense against internet viruses, worms, trojans, spy-ware, etc. They include:

Anti-Virus program
Firewall
Anti-Spyware
Good Surfing habits (e.g. don't open email from senders you don't know)

I've already discussed a FREE highly awarded anti-spyware program called A-Sqaured (scroll down a few posts for the info and link).

Now I'm gonna talk about the Firewall portion of your computer defense. The purpose of a computer firewall is to block unauthorized access into your computer from the outside. There are multiple programs including the really lame MicroSoft firewall which seems get hacked as soon as a patch is released for it.

Enter ZoneAlarm. THE defacto gold standard firewall. The basic version is a very YES I SAVED price of absolutely free. For most people, the free version is more than enough protection. It not only protects against inbound intrusions, it also prevents outbound exports of your private data! It alerts you in real time of any threats and can even show a log of your attackers.

One thing...if you have a home network you will want to add each PC into ZoneAlarms "trusted zones" to gain access to your router, otherwise it will do its job and block access unless you allow others to gain access.

So declare war on hackers today and protect your private data from getting stolen or worse, your entire computer becoming a zombie PC for spammers!

Download ZoneAlarm for FREE. Do NOT download the "free 15 day trial" for the pro version. Scroll to the right and get the completely FREE version.
