Any recommendations for double-securing one's Google identity?

I'm looking for a decent camera for our family vacation at the end of the summer. We're going to the Caribbean so an underwater camera could be a lot of fun, but only if I can get a good one at a decent price. If it's the choice between a shitty underwater camera and a good normal camera, I'd rather get the normal one.
Suggestions, please?

Is anyone familiar with DVDFab? I've been converting my videos to DVD and then loading them onto the computer and into itunes. I'm using a read/write dvd so I can just erase it and reuse it until I'm done. DVDFab has had several updates and now when I load the dvd onto the computer, the sound and video are out of sync. I thought I could then just put my videos on permanent dvds until I worked out the DVDFab kinks, but the dvds that I make only play on the machine that created it. It won't play on any other dvd player or computer. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm almost done with this project and just want to be finished.

Hey guys, Do you know if there any reliable, low-cost or free word processing program that will work with my iPhone 4S and iPad too? I'd love not having to heave my PC around when I wanted to do some casual editing.
I've checked out the App Store but I couldn't get a feel for what they were offering & most reviews were mixed. It doesn't have to be Microsoft Word, but if it had even 1/2 those features it would make my life easier. Feel free to post or PM me; thanks in advance!

I think I have something called the redirect virus. If I click on some search results that open a new window, the site I want to go to comes up and then redirects to some stupid BS ads site. I have to click the back arrow to get to my intended site. It's annoying as hell and apparently, nearly impossible to get rid of. Tried McAfee malwarebytes CCleaner Hitman Tdsskiller to no avail. Any advice is appreciated.

If this is a Windows computer you might try deleting your user profile. It will get rid of everything you've done but sometimes that will get rid of a virus like that. You have to be logged in as another user and usually you have to reboot before you will be able to delete your old profile.

Sometimes viruses like that reinstall themselves on start up, no matter how many times you quarantine them. What you need to do is find out exactly what it is that you have (the actual file name), then search for it online. You should be able to find step by step instructions on how to start your computer in safe mode, remove the offending code from your registry keys, then restart in safe mode one more time, then restart in regular mode.
It sounds daunting, but I've done it multiple times and it worked beautifully.
The easiest way to find out what exactly the virus is called is to view all the processes running in windows by doing the control alt delete trick. Anything you don't recognize, do a google search for. That's also how you should get step by step removal instructions.
Hope that helps!

In honor of the App Store's 5th Anniversary, Apple is severely discounting its apps. A lot of them are free. Here's the full list. Enjoy!

I have a related question. I bought a MacBook in 2007, and the Apple Store was loaded with widgets for my dashboard. I just got a new MacBook this year, and the Widget shop seems to be a ghost town. Very few widgets even seem functional, although I wonder if I'm looking in the right place. Is this accurate? Am I insane?

They're focusing on the app store now, so I don't think they're really doing anything with widgets anymore.
