The software features several improvments, including a faster install, and smart scanning technology, which allows it to scan certain files once and if not infected, it will skip over them the next scan, unless there has been a change in the file.  This creates a huge boost in performance, because it doesn’t have to scan EVERY file on your computer for viruses, but instead, just the files that are modified after it does the first original scan.  Because of this, you’ll notice your virus scanning times will dramatically decrease.

One of the best features it has is also protection against threats that happen over social media (Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, ect).  These threats seem to be hitting our clients like crazy, so we’re hoping that this newest release of AVG will help eliminate some of the security flaws of social media and prevent viruses, spyware and malware from infecting PCs.

McAninch with friends at 30 Under 30 Event

On Tuesday, September 21, 2010, Jason McAninch, President of J-TEK, presented TLC, also known as Temporary Living Center based out of Olathe, Kansas the winning proceeds from the KC Top 30 Under 30 event that took place September 10th at LUNA in Kansas City, Missouri.

McAninch was the first-prize winner of the 30 Under 30 event, so the evenings proceeds went to his charity of choice, which was TLC.

When asked why McAninch chose TLC as his charity, he said “They do a lot of good for our community that I think goes unnoticed to many, because of the stereotype that people have towards Johnson County families.  It seems like everyone has this notion that everyone in Johnson County is extremely wealthy and that they never have struggles or are faced with horrifying circumstances in life, which is unfortunately not the case.”

McAninch was able to tour the facility and meet with several children and young adults that are being helped by this great organization. The organization gives children a second chance when they otherwise would not have one. “Kids can’t choose who their parents are or who raises them, and these kids are abused, neglected in ways that most of us can’t even imagine” McAninch said.

TLC focuses it’s efforts on helping children who are homeless or in crisis in the Johnson County area by providing emergency shelter for abused and neglected children from infancy until age 18. They also have programs in place that allow for youth that are age 18 or higher to have opportunities to learn how to survive and thrive in the real world by offering them an apartment-like living space, where they have to learn how to get an education, apply for employment, open and maintain a checking and savings account, cook, clean and all the other aspects that go along with adulthood, so they can become productive members of society.

“It’s a cause I am happy to support – there shouldn’t be any children that are homeless, abused or neglected, and TLC is really making a difference in helping the children that are unfortunate to be in that situation” McAninch said.

McAninch is known in the community for his philanthropic acts.  In January of this year, he started the J-TEK Foundation (www.jtekfoundation.org) which is currently building scholarship funds to award area students for their interest in entrepreneurship and/or technology.

Here is Jason’s Biography, located on the KC Connections website:

Jason McAninch is a young entrepreneur and leader of the community.  In 1999, at age 13, he started J-TEK, a computer consulting and IT support business, and today many know it as the premier computer and IT support for Johnson County and surrounding areas.  The company has become successful and stood out to many because of his unique, friendly personality and ability to help clients of all levels use technology.

Growing up, Jason learned the importance of giving back to the community and helping others.  As an Eagle Scout in the Boy Scouts of America, Jason became a leader in his community by helping and serving the needs of others.  It was this same importance of giving back to others that gave him the ambition to create a way to give back to the community with his business.

In January of 2010, he started a non-profit corporation known as the J-TEK Foundation, with the vision of giving back to the community by helping children and students with the entrepreneurial drive and spirit, achieve and realize their true potential.  His company J-TEK, currently funds the non-profit corporation from proceeds collected from the company’s technology recycling services.  The recycling service helps reduce tech waste in the area from ending up in landfills and ensuring it is disposed of properly, alongside helping build a scholarship fund for area students.

He received his undergraduate degree in Management from Ottawa University in 2009.  While his formal education provided invaluable knowledge, the majority of his talents and abilities are self-taught.

His humble personality is what family and friends admire most.  They say that he will go out of his way to help anyone.  He has a passion for entrepreneurship and has a natural ability to lead and inspire others.  Jason volunteers in his community as a YouthFriend for middle school students during the school year.  In addition, he plans to begin speaking and presenting to area high school and college students about entrepreneurship and leadership this fall.

He would donate the proceeds of the event to the J-TEK Foundation and award area students with scholarship money to help pay for education expenses, or to start their own business.
