There has been a lot of debate on which software is the best, which takes the most resources and which is not good at catching viruses. Apart from all of the discussion, I am collecting all the free antiviruses which I have used at one time or the other. I have found all of them to be doing a good job atleast in terms of ROI as they are free. I’m listing top 5 free antiviruses which I have used. If anyone of the readers has used some other good antivirus which is also free, please let us know through comments.

AVG Antivirus

The first one which I would like to quote is AVG as I have used it for a long time and have been satisfied with its performance. Lately I have noticed that it didn’t detect some of the latest viruses but that may be because I don’t update my antivirus frequently. It can be downloaded from here:

  AVG Free Edition 8.0.169 (47.7 MiB, 31 hits)

Rising Antivirus

I know this will be a new name to many and it is relatively a new antivirus. I got it a few months back and installed it on one of my test systems and then installed it on one of my client’s PC and it has been impressive. I felt save after I installed it as it caught most of the viruses which AVG was not able to catch and it’s security is more stronger than AVG. So I would recommend Rising Antivirus if you’re looking for a good antivirus for your home system which doesn’t take a lot of resources and keeps the system safe.

  Rising Antivirus Free Edition 20.56 (54.1 MiB, 52 hits)

AVAST Antivirus

I have used AVAST long time back but it’s really good because it’s light weight, doesn’t take much resources and it’s fast in scanning. It has got boot time scanning which makes it less vulnerable to startup viruses and worms. The problem lies in it’s detection of viruses. It’s not as quick as other antiviruses in catching the viruses. It can be downloaded from the following location:

  Avast Antivirus 4.8 Home Edition (26.2 MiB, 10 hits)

Avira Antivir

Avira Antivir has a very good reputation for it’s low system resources and high detection rates. It can be very reliable in protecting home computers. The confidence in Avira Antivir is built more after seeing it’s user base. It has got about 15 million satisfied users around the globe. The down side of it is that it’s scanning is very slow. It can be downloaded from the following link:

  Avira AntiVir Personal 8.1 (23.9 MiB, 4 hits)

Comodo Antivirus

Last but not the least, Comodo Antivirus is another ultra light weight antivirus with blazing speed scanner. It has a nice user interface. But the problem with Comodo antivirus is that of its detection rate. It’s detection rate is not all the good so one can’t feel safe with Comodo Antivirus. It can be downloaded from the following location:

  Comodo Antivirus 2.0 Beta (34.6 MiB, 4 hits)

Conclusion:

I am leaving totally up to you to select which one is the best antivirus for you.

The problems with file types includes zip not opening under explorer. Any picture file not  opening in the windows defualt viewer.

Note : This file will overwrite any changes made to filetypes by any other program by windows defualts

<>Uses & advantages of administration password

* It is used in safe mode when you forgot your windows xp user account password* the supreme advantage of giving administrator password to your window is to provide high level of security to your system. Weather you’re on the local area network or on internet. No one can access your machine. When anyone try to access your system he will gets an option for administration password which is only stored in your brain.

* One more advantage of having window xp administration password is that no one can change your user account password..Let me explain how this going to happens.

Let’s suppose you have installed windows xp without entering administration password or skipping that step during windows installation. After the completion of installation you put a user account password by going to start/settings/control panel/user account. Now when you reboot your machine you’ll need a user account password to logon to your window.Consider you have forgotten your password and you are unable to logon to your window.But do not loose hope there is still one way to get the problem solve if your machine is free from administrator password discussed above. Here is the solution.

Reboot your computer, Press & hold “F8?, until you gets some options in black window …from those options select “safe mode” .Selection of this option will take you to the login panel .Select here “Administrator” and logon to your window…If you have forgotten your user account password, then you will need old user account password to change or disable it which you don’t have! ..Go to start/settings/control panel/user account… Open guest account and enjoy using your windows xp. And if you want to change the user account password even after forgetting the old one…Then there is still one way which I’ll discuss in my next post …up to then keep on practicing. Because “practice makes a man perfect”

Go to Run –>gpedit.msc
User Configuration –> Administrative Templates –> Windows Components –> Windows Explorer
Enable and then Disable “Removes Folder Options menu from Tools menu”
Close all windows explorer windows and then open again.. most probably your folder options is back

A few days ago, a new plugin was released known as Platinum SEO Pack. This appears to be a “fork” of the All In One SEO pack. It claims to do everything All In One SEO does, and more. Here are a few new features in this plugin:

• Ability to add index, noindex, follow or nofollow, noodp, noydir meta tags to any post or page
• Automatic 301 redirect if you change your permalink structure
• Choose to block indexing (using noindex tag) on RSS feed pages
• Nofollow external links on front page
• Nofollow links to archive/category/tag pages

Some of this stuff might be considered “SEO overkill” although all of these are options in the backend.

I was using it myself (on another site) earlier today and didn’t find any problems or bugs. You can get the plugin yourself here.

What do you think? Has All In One SEO Pack been trumped in favor of Platinum SEO? Share your thoughts in the comments.
