The Federal Government has issued a warning to consumers about potentially critical vulnerabilities found in anti-virus software from Norton and Symantec, two of the most popular brands in the online security industry.
Symantec uses the same core engine in its anti-virus products for both consumer and enterprise products, which means information on millions of PCs including those running on corporate and government networks could be at risk.
Due to its status as a top security product, which gives Symantec access to the inner workings of your computer, the spread of a virus throughout an entire network of computers is entirely possible, according to the federal alert. Simply getting an email with an infected file on a computer, or accessing a link to an infected site, could put a whole network of computers at risk.
All anti-virus products under the Symantec and Norton brands “contain multiple vulnerabilities,” according to the alert issued by a division of the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

We just noticed that the price of the Daily Burn subscription has jumped. The price last checked in November, 2015 was $12.95 for the Daily Burn Basic subscription and $24.99 for the Daily Burn Premium subscription.
The price has jumped $2 for both so you can expect to pay $14.95 for the Basic package and $26.99 for the Premium. We are not sure if this affects new subscribers only or if existing subscribers will see the price jump as well. Daily Burn continues to be a great deal especially with their large catalog of videos from such experts as Bob Harper. The Daily Burn 365 (DB365) videos also add a lot of value since their is a new one everyday for viewers to workout too.

Let’s face it – we know we should eat healthier. There are so many studies, websites, and nutritionists providing evidence of how food impacts overall health, including digestion, heart, immunity, and weight.
While we know that we should eat more fruits and vegetables and avoid processed and unhealthy foods, we struggle to do this on a daily basis. The problem is, packaged and processed food is really convenient. It is ready to eat, so we don’t have to worry about chopping ingredients, finding the right recipe, or eating something that tastes bland because it lacks all the sugar, salt and fat in processed foods.
When you are busy working long days, taking care of your family, and not getting enough sleep, taking time to prepare the right foods might seem like a luxury. And never mind getting to the store every few days to purchase fresh fruits and vegetables! But there is a way to eat healthier that won't impact your busy schedule.

Summer is here and you know what that means! Beaches, volleyball, and long days of enjoying the warmer weather, the outdoors, and letting yourself relax a bit from the regular routine.
It also means more pressure to stay fit, despite the temptation to drink another pina colada or laze about in the sun all day. After all, if you’re going to be wearing lighter, shorter or more revealing clothing, or a swimsuit, or that fantastic clingy summer dress, then you want to feel great too, no?
Instead of pressuring yourself to keep to your normal workout schedule at the gym even when you’re on vacation, perhaps it’s time to come up with a new routine that allows you to enjoy summer while still keeping active and fit. Now’s the time to ease away from the gym and opt for an outdoor lifestyle to keep you motivated, fit, and in the process, have a little more fun with your workout.
