Avira Premium Anti-Virus

So, for years I have been through different kinds of anit-virus from AVG to Avast to Kaspersky to Nod 32 and finally now Avira.

For those that is looking for security I really recommend Avira Premium, not only is it lightweight but it also comes with these features:

  • AntiVir - protection from viruses, worms and Trojans
  • AntiDialer - protection against expensive dialers
  • AntiRootkit - protection from hidden rootkits
  • Faster Scanning up to 20% faster
  • New User Interface
  • AntiPhishing - protection from phishing
  • AntiSpyware - protection from spyware and adware
  • WebGuard - protection from malicious websites
  • RescueSystem - creates a bootable rescue CD
  • Enhanced email protection for POP3 and SMTP
  • Fast Premium update server
  • AntiSpam - filters out unwanted and phishing emails
  • FireWall - protection from hackers
  • GameMode - uninterrupted game play
  • Backup-System - saves your important data
  • AntiBot - prevents dangerous bot networks
  • AntiDrive-by - stops surfing malware downloads
Avira is definitely my most favorite anti-virus, although I also liked kaspersky and avast but the problem with them is they're too heavy for my PC, with Nod 32 it virus detection is great and all but it really doesn't get rid of the viruses it detects.

So, if you're interested here's a link for Avira Premium.

Just a few reminders to install the product first change the file extension heartbug.nfo to .txt, this is where you can read the proper installation guidelines for this Anti-virus. Enjoy!

I also would like to thank HEARTBUG for this great release. *salute*

Alt + Tab in firefox 3

I never imagined that firefox 3 had such a feature, but it all started during a certain lab time when a classmate of mine asked me if knew how to use the alt + tab feature in firefox, I became very curious because she had witnessed it being used before, so we tried some keys including the alt + tab key but to no avail, and since we were doing a lab activity we gave up on the idea at that time.

So, just this morning, I'm very happy to have discovered the simple shortcut key to move from one tab to another in firefox 3, although I know for sure that this only works for firefox 3 because we tried all the shortcut keys yesterday but it still didn't work on a firefox 2 browser.

Try CRTL + TAB that should work, again this only works on firefox 3. yes, yes, I know I may have been a few months late with this news but this feature really amazes me, yes I know its not that much out of the ordinary but still I'm very happy and proud of firefox for this feature. I hope this helped others to love and appreciate firefox more (CRUSH IE!!! >:)..mwahahaha!)
