It causes zero or minimal slowdown during full system scans (so you can continue using your device normally while running scans). The scanner, which uses a comprehensive malware database along with machine learning, is pretty fast, taking around 1 hour to scan an entire system. Norton’s malware scanner is able to identify, block, and remove all types of malware, from simple viruses to advanced threats like ransomware. It regularly offers free trials, and it has a generous 60-day money-back guarantee, which gives you around 2 months to use it risk-free.

![]() ![]() Mike Schmitz is a writer for ValleyoftheSuns, a member of the TrueHoop Network. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist Video Scouting Reports Mike Schmitz takes a look at the strengths and weaknesses of Bradley Beal with the help of game film, head coach Billy Donovan, and commentary from Beal himself. Ranking 5th last in scoring efficient in the two man game at 0.697 PPP because he turned the ball over on 21.2% of his possessions, Beal will need to improve his decision-making in the increasingly pick-and-roll heavy offenses deployed by NBA teams. ![]() Scoring an above average 0.93 PPP in isolation situations, Beal showed the ability to create his own shot, but struggled to show the same acumen on the pick and roll. This study reveals a number of areas where Beal has room for improvement as well. Beal's numbers for the whole year do not give much credence to comparisons to Ray Allen, but his play late in the year gave teams an eyeful of his prolific spot-up scoring ability. Struggling to find his range for stretches, Beal's excellent shooting mechanics and footwork began to pay dividends for him down the stretch, as his catch and shoot efficiency over the last 12 games of the season would have placed him third in this group at 1.372 PPP. Often touted as an excellent jump shooter, Beal ranked 5th worst among the 21 players in this group in shooting efficiency pulling up off the dribble (0.615 Points Per-Possession) and below average off the catch (1.074 PPP vs. Surrounded by upperclassmen like Kenny Boynton and Erving Walker, Beal was not always a focal point for the Gators offensively. Using 14.6 possessions per-game, Beal ranks 15th of the 21 players in this group. Looking at Beal's numbers, the first thing the stands out is his usage relative to the other top prospects. Despite his lofty projection, Beal did not have an astounding year on paper relative to the other prospects in this group. Bradley Beal is the top prospect in this group, and seemingly bound for a top-4 selection on draft day. ![]() ![]() ![]() One of the many seating areas at the Dallas Centurion Lounge – Image courtesy of Amex To be honest I’m not sure what that means because, if she’s widely travelled, the food at the lounge could be inspired by just about anywhere!

Naturally Amex card holders from the other airlines are welcome too – they’ll just have a much longer walk to their gates. The lounge is on the 4th floor of the concourse near Gate 12 – right in the heart of American Airlines territory – so you can expect the Admirals Club at Gate 15 to be a lot less busy from now on!
