Toyota Camry 2007 24v

gentman — Mon, 20 Nov 2017 10:49:37 +0800

Does anyone who owned a Camry 2007 24v have excessive engine oil consumption between oil interval? I just bought a unit and may have this issue...and found that the same version from US had got this issue and Toyota USA wrote to car owners to bring in to dealers for an oil consumption test and to fix the problem. Toyota USA did not come up on a recall. Is this engine a 2AZ-FE Engine?

Aztech HW550-3G router...

gentman — Fri, 25 Jun 2010 15:46:03 +0800

I bought a 3G router for RM150. Now everyone is happy. we have meetings at hotels and when there is no internet connection, I took out my router and my broadband stick, everyone is connected. The bosses are happy. When i go on holidays, everyone in my family got their own laptops. Areas and hotels where there is no immediate internet connections or connection is not secure, i took out my router, plug in my stick and everyone can surf the net and i can go to do ebanking or sites and feel very safe without using public connection. At home, if streamyx fail us..which sometime it does, i use the router for all the family surfing. Come in so handy. Thats why i recommend you to buy a 3G router for this multi purpose if you are using a broadband stick.

My friend just bought a Toshiba netbook. When I check and shake it...it prompt and appeared on the screen a notice that the harddisk is now parked properly so as to avoid damage.

Is there a way to check this function if it is active?

Same Antivirus product at different prices

gentman — Wed, 06 May 2009 11:51:19 +0800

This is about antivirus products. Nowaday as we rely so much on doing our daily work online and its so risky to log in without protection.

I am using Kaspasky Internet Security 2009 which i believe is the cheapest at RM95 for 3 pcs updated for a year.

However the price can be a lot more. I receive advertisment on another product called Zone Alarm and also saw adver on Norton. All these products varies in prices.

So the question is what antivirus programmes is reliable, value for money and easy to work with?

What about freeware antivirus?

Can someone give your thought?
