Now, you might be scratching your head and wondered what is the catch? There is no such thing as free lunch and like all free goods, there are always a catch and AVG’s Antivirus 8.0 Free Edition is no exception.
AVG 8.0 Free is giving out free-of-charge for personal use, the only drawback is the limited functions. While using AVG 8.0 Free you might discover you would like to have access to further and extended functionality of AVG as provided within the AVG 8.0 products.
Not only the functionality is limited, it comes with a Yahoo Toolbar for your browser. The AVG Security Toolbar is designed to work with MS Internet Explorer (version 6.0 or greater) and Mozilla Firefox (version 1.5 or greater). Once installed the AVG Security Toolbar will by default be located just under your browsers address bar.
The antivirus software’s scanning engine scans all files and file activities (opening/closing files, etc.) for known viruses. Any detected virus will be blocked from taking any action and will then be cleaned or quarantined. Most antivirus software also uses heuristic scanning, where files are scanned for typical virus characteristics, so called viral signatures. This means that the antivirus scanner can detect a new, unknown virus, if the new virus contains some typical characteristics of existing viruses.
The AVG Components included in this free edition are Anti-Virus and Anti Spyware, unfortunately the firewall feature is disabled. The lack of firewall can be compensated with ZoneAlarm firewall, its free for personal use.

Microsoft to reward Live Search shoppers with cash
This just came in and it is rather interesting.
Microsoft said Wednesday it will reward US Live Search shoppers with cash for purchases, essentially trying to buy market share it tried to win with its failed bid to take over Yahoo. Under the Live Search “cashback” programs, shoppers using Microsoft’s Internet search service will have percentages of purchases refunded. Rebate money comes from fees merchants agree to pay Microsoft if Live Search online ads result in sales.
I’m not a SEO expert, not even close and based from my experience with go.com (anyone remembers Go.com? the search engine that rewards you for every search.) I can assure you this rewarding program of Microsoft is bound to fail. This is not a reward program, as much as the name says it, this appears to be a hand-out programme and nothing comes out from a hand-out. On the other hand, some critics appear to be somewhat optimistic about this program.
“I believe it will evolve into something much more dangerous to Google over time,” Enderle told AFP. “Long term, I genuinely believe this will create a price war. Up up to the present moment, Google has been taking swipes at Microsoft. Now, Microsoft can take a swipe at Google.”
Microsoft is bankrupt of ideas; I would suggest other alternatives such as a customizable search like what Google is offering in their Adsense program.
