AVG is giving out free edition of their Anti-Virus software, this is a 100% legal release, no more cracks, serial, or keygen that comes with virus and trojans.

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.

Norton 360 Version 2.0

I am thinking of running a contest where the price is a free genuine copy of Norton 360 version 2. I’m not sure how am I suppose to run this competition, it would be great to see something for a change instead of boring post.

How about the person that blogs in their blog on why he/she should win a copy of Norton 360 from GeckoandFly? Suggestion?

Norton 360 Version 2.0

Norton 360 version 2.0 is out now, and I’ve downloaded the trialware did some performance test on two of my comp and surprisingly it is overwhelming, the new version is lighter, faster.

According yo Norton, it uses 73% less memory compare to version 1.0, it boost up any applications by 6% faster, and the user interface response is 92% faster. In short, Norton 360 is a great product and does exactly what its name says in covering the security of your computer. It’s nice to have a product that’s somewhat user friendly and efficient. Speaking of user interface, I would say McAfee has a very user unfriendly interface.

Some of the new features in Norton 360 version 2.0 are:

Network Monitoring, which checks the status of wireless security, maps connected devices, alerts users when they are connected to an unsecure network, and provides advice to help manage network security settings. Norton 360’s Smart Background Scheduler has been enhanced with the ability to prevent tasks from initiating automatically while in battery power mode and also throttles bandwidth for online backups to minimize impact on performance. Norton 360 users have the option to manually scan individual files and folders and to shutdown their computer upon completion of a task.

Norton 360’s anti-phishing and Web authentication functionality has been extended to Firefox. Enhancements have also been made to the Norton toolbar, allowing it to be resized or hidden. Source: WWPI.com

Given today’s threat landscape, computer users need to gravitate towards all-in-one solutions like Norton 360 to address their essential security needs, the Norton 360 Version 2.0 cost around 80 dollars, a reasonable price for a trouble free PC.

p.s. Avoid downloading a copy of Norton 360 version 2 from any Bittorrent site for the time being, not only it is a version 1.0 disguise as version 2, but it comes with a virus.
