This software is an anti-virus program that I've used on my personal computers for over a year and it has saved my rear more times than I care to mention. (Mainly done through my own bone-headed mistakes or over-active curiosity!)<br /> <br /> I know there is a lot of anti-virus software out there, but there are few that can compare to Avira’s features and its non-existent price tag. For the price of the time it takes to download and install you get:<br /> <br /> • Real time protection (computer viruses, worms, trojan horses)<br /> • On-demand scanner – Flexible and easy to use!<br /> • Auto Updater - Simple and quick updates, program and virus definitions<br /> • Quarantine for the detected viruses and suspicious files<br /> • Auto Scheduler - To save your time by scanning while you aren't around<br /> • Extensive help system - downloadable manual and online support forums<br /> • Rootkit protection - Detects hidden malware installed in your computer <br /> • High-performance multithreading function (simultaneous high-speed scanning of multiple files)<br /> <br /> Avira AntiVir consistently performs at the top or near the top of independent testing of effectiveness of both paid and freeware anti-virus programs across the internet. It monitors every action executed by the user or the operating system and reacts promptly when a malicious program is detected. <br /> <br /> It is one of the best if not the best freeware anti-virus solutions on the internet today. With a variety of features and scanning options, Avira allows both the experienced user or the newbie to run scans on their internal or external storage devices. On the downside, AntiVir periodically displays a pop-up window with some promotional info, which can be annoying - but it sure is a small price to pay for using this great antivirus software for free!<br /> <br /> http://www.free-av.com/<br /> <br /> <a href="http://freesoftware-thatworks.blogspot.com">Free Software that Works!</a><br /> <br /> <script type="text/javascript"> var gaJsHost = (("https:" == document.location.protocol) ?

Loads of unused, useless data can clutter a PC very quickly on a daily basis causing it to run slowly and causing system errors that cost us time and sometimes cash to recover the damage they cause. Personally, I've used a variety of programs that to rid my computer of such data to prevent these types of events from occuring and the best and simplest utility I've downloaded so far is PowerTools Lite. <br /><br />PowerTools Lite is a freeware program based on the widely popular and well established multi-purpose cleaning and system error fixing utility jv16 Power Tools. PowerTools Lite is built using the same award winning engine, a simple and usable interface with loads of options, robust back-up options allowing you to instantly undo anything you've done, and the best part, it's FREE! <br /><br />Along with targeting junk data, PowerTools quickly and effectively optimizes your Windows-based PC by analyzing your registry and targeting data that either has no use or worse, that can cause those all too familiar error messages that pop up on everyone's screen.<br /><br />If you are in the market for a great error-fixing, system cleaning utility, PowerTools Lite is the program for you. PowerTools Lite gets my hearty recommendation, and I've happily added it to my ever-growing listing of great free software that works!<br /><br />Download this free software now!<br /><br /><a href="http://freesoftware-thatworks.blogspot.com"></a>Adamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00582564306766530311noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794317315021786625.post-67085929409194020992009-12-30T00:17:00.000-08:002009-12-30T09:53:24.915-08:00Welcome to Free Software that Works!
