I got mine on QVC the shopping channel. They were selling HP's and it was one of their special items. Just happened to flip the channels and got hooked. I did see the same one at Best Buy one weekend for the same price. I would check their ads. Mine is 1Gig with 160 HD. These little machines are so tough you can bang them around (I do). They stay cool and are silent. I have no idea how they are built, but they work so well. I saw an Acer with 2G and 150 HD but it comes with Vista basic. The screen was 11" and costs $499.00. I think that's overkill because you woudnt't use these little machines for much more than internet. The screens are small and if you spent hours reading on it your eyes would hurt. But they are 10 times better than reading on a Palm or Blackberry, plus they don't weigh much more. Best thing since sliced bread... Jane

I have the ASPIRE ONE 722- BZ454 net book...I do not see on the back of my net book any numbers like you had mentioned AOA110 or the other...so what does this mean? I have an updated net book? My battery is fine so far, but just wanted to check in the event this may happen to mine in the future. BTW, I used just once the internal camera...when I first bought this unit, and now I don't know how to initiate it. No manual or anything.

I have a acer netbook that came with McAfee trial installed I am using it for now but will change over to Avast free antivirus which is my preferred AV, for malware I use the free malwarebytes and free superantispyware they are both excellent. I also use spywareblaster free which just requires a weekly update and to enable all protection no scans with it. I do weekly updates and scans with the 2 malware programs and have my avast set to do scanning with the screen saver. If you need links for any of those just ask. as to the mouse click problem that sounds like a problem and I would address that with the manufacturer since it is brand new. I personally can not use the touch pad so I just use my mini usb mouse with my acer and it is much easier.

I use Avast on all of my windows machines now and really like it, I set it up to do scans when the screen saver comes on so any time it is idle it is scanning and not having to wait for a specific time which I prefer. Plus it is an active scanner so it is always scanning as you use the pc. I am behind a firewalled router at home but do prefer to have a software firewall also, I like to use an old version of zone alarm pro, it is very light weight and has always worked well for me, if you want to buy a suite the one you mentioned is a good choice, Nod 32 is also a good choice for purchase. I prefer to have separate programs rather than a suite but that is a personal preference. I suggest you look over the installers hall of shame prior to selecting a firewall and see how they are rated and what they try to add to your system other than just what you want. Installers Hall of Shame (Unwanted add-on) gizmo's site is a good place to read up on good choices. I no longer recommend Comodo and many of the security forums no longer recommend them either due to some items they add on and some questionable practices. Corrine has some very good blog posts on her site about all of that for those that are interested. Best Free Firewall Here is a link that might be useful: security garden blog
