Antivirus Comparison, Compare Antivirus Virus Detection and Removal

Found an interesting piece of information while was browsing the internet for more information regarding which AntiVirus should I install for my new computer, and needless to say I was caught off guard with the results, I concur that Norton had been my favorite antivirus for the past 8 years, they are known to be buggy, slow and hog on cpu and memory resources, however, time after time Norton prooved to be a relatively reliable antivirus as oppose to other antvirus I’ve installed.

Anyway, according to AntiVirus Comparison, AntiVir Premium has the best detection rate among all the other anti-virus software in the market, beating Norton by less than 1%, but that’s not all, apart from the virus detection capability, AntiVir is also known for its relatively low memory and CPU usage.

Download the free edition Avira AntiVir Personal - the FREE Antivirus is only available for single computer use for home and non commercial use. What’s the catch? Unlike the premium version, the free AntiVir does not comes with AntiSpam, Firewall, AntiSpyware, and all the bell and whistle. It is just a simple AntiVirus software that does the job.

Download Microsoft Office 2007 Save As PDF Add-in Without Validation

Downloading the SaveAsPDF add-in from Microsoft’s official website requires validation, what are your chances of downloading the add-in from the official website if you’re using a pirated version of Microsoft Office 2007?

As usual, download.com is offering the add-in without any validation, visit download.com and download Microsoft Office 2007 ‘Save As PDF’ Add-in without validation. Alternatively, you can download from Microsoft Office’s official website if you know the direct link to the exe file, here is the link.

If you’re looking for a third party pdf exporter, visit this post on How to Convert Microsoft Office Files to PDF Format.

Is this illegal? I doubt it is, Microsoft is more than happy to allow this feature in Office, one of the reasons the SaveAsPDF add-in was removed from Office 2007 is due to Adobe’s refusal to grant them the license, possibly fear of having a drop in sales for their very own Adobe Reader Professional.

Download Google Chrome Themes for Mozilla Firefox 3

I tried surfing the internet with Google Chrome for an entire week and and have to admit that I’m still pretty much a Firefox fan. Google Chrome does has its pros and cons, so does Firefox 3, the drawback for Google Chrome is the compatibility issue with certain blogs and websites that uses Java, for instant embedded video in blogs from certain company does not stream well with Google Chrome.

Firefox on the other hand appears to be unstable, I have this bookmark issue where for no reason my bookmark would disappear, restarting Firefox does not solve the issue, I need to restart the computer, only then will the bookmark reappear.

Anyway, if you’re into Google Chrome’s user interface, do give the Firefox 3 - Google Chrome Theme a try, you’ll love it. Download the FF3 Google Chrome theme.

Download Norton Internet Security 2009 and Norton AntiVirus 2009

When it is scanning, Norton 2009 does so very quickly and efficiently. It uses Norton Insight — an advanced “white list” system that catalogs all known “good” files. By keeping itself aware of what is 99.9% likely not to be a virus (e.g. Firefox. exe), it can decrease the amount of time spent scanning. Furthermore, it is clever enough to know when these “good” files have been tampered with. blockquote>
Norton Internet Security 2009 new user interface screen shot

Symantec is the largest security software company in the world, having said that, their line of Norton product is by far the most popular anti virus and security suits software.

Minor updates and improvement can be found in Norton Internet Security 2009 and Norton Anti Virus, however the introduction of 2 new security features caught my attention and they are:

Basically ‘pulse’ delivers up-to-the-minute protection with rapid pulse updates every 5 to 15 minutes to detect and eliminate new threats, no words yet on whether we can reduce the time interval from 15 minutes to an hour.

Another new technology known as Norton Insight promised a drastic drop in processor and memory usage, it is no secret that Norton line of products are well known for their enormous consumption on processor and memory, by leveraging a unique online intelligence system, Nortonâ„¢ Insight technology targets only those files at risk.

According to Symantec, the new improved Norton Internet Security 2009 and Norton AntiVirus 2009 line up uses 80% less memory as opposed to competitor’s product, the question is which competitor’s product? I suspect Norton has something to hide when they claimed a reduction of 80% memory usage from an average point of view, it goes to show it is not the best anti-virus programme when it comes to memory usage, however the justification for a better protection with a slight increase of memory usage is acceptable.

What are the experts saying? According to Cnet’s editor - First Norton not to suck!

If this is true, this is the reverse transformation of AVG. AVG 7 ruled. It was fast, didn’t waste resources, and was reliable. Download Norton Internet Security 2009 and Norton AntiVirus 2009 trialware, 15 days of fully functional Norton product.

If you’re searching for Norton Internet Security 2009 crack and Norton AntiVirus 2009 keygen, chances are you won’t find any, I highly doubt Team Edge or any other crack team have the knowledge cracking Norton’s latest activation feature any time soon, it took Team Edge one and a half years to crack Norton 260 version 2.

How long does it take for them to crack Norton Internet Security 2009 crack and Norton AntiVirus 2009? Unless they manage to find a bug in these programs like the one in Norton 360 version 2, which is unlikely due to the nature of Norton being a security software, imagine a virus spreading around the world due to a security hole in Norton’s product, happen before and that’s when their company’s reputation went downhill.

Check out this list of free AntiVirus, original with one year subscription of updates.

Google Search Hack: Free eBooks, Comics, Music, Videos, MP3

The term Google Hack means to utilize Google’s powerful search feature and indexes to narrow down the results to your advantage, in short, you are able to Google for free ebooks, read paid articles with Google cache, download mp3 and many more.

We’re not too sure if this is illegal, but if it is, why would Google allows such search strings to exist?

Search MP3

-inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:”index of” “Michael Jackson” mp3

Using this string we are using the “index of” and the inurl commands to attempt to isolate directories only. The mp3 tag on the end tells google to look for mp3s in these open directories. You can change this to wma or ogg if you wish.

Alternative:

Search eBooks

-inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:”index of” +(”/ebooks”|”/book”) +(chm|pdf|zip)

What does all of these weird strings mean? The -inurl htm and -inul html is attempting to filter out the regular html webpages and to display just the index pages. Searching for index of in the title is doing the same. Using the pipe ( | ) tells google to look for something OR something else. The search string is sending a query to google to search for book or ebook directories, several common ebook formats are zip, pdf, and chf.

Alternative:

Search Comics

Google: -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:”index of” “Last modified” comics cbr
or -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:”index of” “Last modified” comics cbz

A large number of comics on the internet comes with a .cbr or .cbz extension for use with a digital comic reader software such as CDisplay (Windows) or FFView (MacOS). However you can decompress the files and read them in any image viewer such as ACDsee. Simply rename the cbr extension to rar or the cbz extension to zip and decompress with an application such as 7-Zip or WinRAR.
