Antivirus software is must-have protection. This review picks the best antivirus software based on its virus detection abilities, features, and breadth of protection. Whether you’re seeking total system coverage or an ala carte solution, each of the following products provides superb virus protection for Windows-based PCs. Because every system is unique, evaluate several of Windows XP and Windows Vista antivirus scanners to find the software best suited for your PC and your level of experience.

1. Norton Internet Security 2009

Symantec’s antivirus products have historically always provided excellent detection and removal of malware. On the downside, that protection came at the price of often crippling system performance. That’s now a thing of the past. Performance overhauls are the hallmark of Norton Internet Security 2009, which features ‘pulse updates’ to deliver more frequent and thus smaller signature updates, whitelisting to streamline scan times, and a lighter, sleeker footprint that installs in mere minutes.

Dress Up Firefox with Personas
Thursday, December 24th, 2009 | Author: admin

I’m not saying Firefox is ugly, but when it plays in the sandbox, the cat covers it up. Thank you, thank you, I’m here all week.

Actually, I didn’t realize just how gray and drab-looking Firefox was until I started fiddling with Personas 2.0.

This new feature from Mozilla Labs lets you choose from thousands of themes with which to spruce up Firefox.

Granted, the browser has supported themes for years, but those require downloading, installing, etc.–and in my experience, many of those themes are just overkill.

Picasa 3 for Windows
Friday, December 18th, 2009 | Author: admin
Picasa is a free photo organization and editing tool from Google, and for a free program, it really has a lot to offer. Picasa is desktop software that runs on Windows, and it can be downloaded from http://picasa.google.com/.

Find Your Photos

After you install Picasa, it asks you if you’d like to scan your entire computer or if you’d like to scan just the desktop, my photos, and my documents folders. I’d really suggest restricting your search to just those folders, unless you’ve got more than one hard drive or you’ve been storing photos in odd locations.When Picasa scans your entire computer, you’ll get cached Internet files, graphics from computer programs, and other images that you probably don’t need in your photo album. You can remove files later, but it’s easier not to import them in the first place.

You can also import photos directly from a digital camera, which is a handy way to keep them organized from the start.

The recently released Microsoft Security Intelligence Report highlights the vast improvements in security from Windows XP to Windows 7. Even so, no operating system is perfect. I asked security experts what they think about Windows 7 security and came up with a list of what Microsoft got right and where Microsoft is still missing the mark.

Here are three things Microsoft got right with Windows 7 security:

Six Easy Ways to Tell if a Virus Really is a Virus
Friday, December 18th, 2009 | Author: admin
We’ve all been there – you get an alert from your virus scanner warning that a particular file is infected. Sometimes the alert reappears even after you’ve told the antivirus scanner to remove the infection. Or maybe you just have reason to believe the virus alert may be a false positive. Here are six things you’ll want to consider to determine how to handle a suspicious or questionable virus alert.

1. Location, Location, Location

As with real estate, the location of what’s being detected can have critical bearing. If you’re getting repeated alerts of the same infection, it may be due to non-active malware that’s trapped in the system restore folders or a remanant in some other location that is triggering the alert.
