Hi, it’s Nils R. here.
I wanted to take a minute and introduce myself, and the question you are probably asking: “Who is Nils Rognerud?”
I’m actually a pretty normal guy, who went through a point where I decided that I needed to find a good job as a recent arrival in USA.
I won’t bore you with the details, but I was going through a rough time where I had just moved to a new city in California… I was single, but I never seemed to have much money. Then I looked in the newspaper classifieds and noticed hundreds of jobs for computer programmers. A bright light when on in my head, and I got very interested in computer science. (smile)
I quickly bought a computer and taught myself how to write my first computer program in BASIC. This is many years ago now, but it got me started in a fun and exciting career. I eventually moved to Silicon Valley/San Francisco Bay Area and settled down and had 3 children.
I now travel around the world (in Asia and Europe) and work remotely from my notebook computer.
I enjoy helping people become proficient with computers, as I believe a career in computer science is a sure way to make a good living – or simply a way to enhance an existing brick-and-mortar business with increased efficiency, emailing or online marketing.
All the best,
-Nils Rognerud
San Francisco, USA
You do good work, people like you make the world a better place

I have AVG Free installed,do I need
to install spybot as well.
I do not recommend you install more than one anti-malware program – for example AVG, Spybot or Spyware Doctor.
Installing more than one anti-malware program may slow down your computer.

Hi Nils, I posted a question on your Spyware Doctor thread but would like to applaud you for taking the time and having the patience to assist people who need computer software guidance. I am an old time programmer myself from the 80′s and with all the new technology I too have become lost in the sea of information. With that said I was wondering if you are familiar with the program Revo Uninstaller Pro and if so what your opinion of it is?
Again thank you for caring.
I would like to learn more than I know, and some things seems people just won’t tell you. I tried to take computer training and just seem to be spending money I don’t have do you have any suggestions?

It is hard to know exactly what is going on without looking at your computer, but video drivers are frequently a source of problem.
You should ensure your video drivers are the latest version, or use program like Driver Hide to monitor and alert you when a PC Windows driver software needs to be updated. Read more about it here:
