Free Blackberry Chess Game

Free blackberry chess game
I was searching a while back for a free chess game for blackberry; I checked all the usual sites as well as blackberry’s appworld and couldn’t find any. I went ahead and purchased Solverlabs Chess from appworld. I recently was browsing blackberry’s appworld and saw the game is now available for free.
When I bought it the price was $0.99 and was thinking why not just give it away. While I’m not an accomplished chess player, I do enjoy a good game every now and then. Other than my disappointment of paying for the game that is now free, I’m also displeased that the game doesn’t have a two player mode. This I would have liked since I replay some classic games and try to understand the players thinking at that time. Also the game has three levels the lowest being junior and can be very challenging for new players. In other words it’s difficult at any level. I’ve played chess on the iPod touch, the free chess game by optime software and found it a joy. The interface is well polished and there’s a slider to adjust the difficulty so there’s a huge range in terms of level adjustment. The optime chess also has two player mode. For those who enjoy playing chess and have been searching for a free one on blackberry, head over to blackberry’s appworld and get solverslabs chess for free.

Best Computer Protection FREE

Do you want free protection for you PC? Why pay when you can get all you need for free.
Firstly you will need anti-virus application, the top two free ones are Avast and AVG. AVG free has an anti-rootkit which gives it the edge over Avast but any of them will be OK.
Download avast here
http://www.avast.com/free-antivirus-download
Download AVG here.
http://free.avg.com/ww-en/download-avg-anti-virus-free

Second you will need a firewall to prevent persons or applications from accessing your computer without authorization. The best free firewall software is ZoneAlarm. To download it click here.

What I would also encourage is for you to install McAfeeAdvisor, also free, this "test websites for spyware, spam and scams so you can search, surf and shop more safely". Download it herehttp://www.siteadvisor.com/

So there you have it, the best free computer protection.
For you who rather have one complete security suite and is willing to pay then go buy Norton, Kaspersky, AVG or Avast. They are all good products.

I should also mention some others I have used on different occasions like Malwarebytes, Spybot and Ad-Aware.
