Its quite hard to believe Microsoft Security Essentials has been with us 14 months. In that time it has continued to impress everyone that seems to use it and keeps critics happy with its great detection rates and small footprint on the system.
Microsoft have now released MSE version 2.0.657.0, meaning a much better free application to keep our PCs safe and secure.

I’m starting a new series here, which involves daily usable tips for different programs. This time I’m going to show you how to create a usable Drop Down Menu in Excel. In this mini-tutorial I am using Excel 2010, but the steps are pretty much the same no matter which Office Version you use. The main difference is where you find the different tools, and where possible I will try to mention where things differ.
If you use Excel on a day-to-day basis filling out forms and information, you might find yourself typing in the same information over and over. Either by typing it in or using copy and paste. When filling in forms you will normally use the same cells over and over (this is where we can use Pull-down Menus). Pull-down Menus can also control your Excel document in different ways like retrieve information or navigate between Sheets and Documents.
