You probably have financial records, family photos, and other computer files that you'd rather keep private, but that's not always possible if others share access to your computer. Free Hide Folder from Cleanersoft is a compact tool that makes it easy to hide and password-protect files and folders and access them with a few quick clicks when you need them.

When you first run Free Hide Folder, you're prompted to create a password that the program will use to protect hidden files, so make sure it's one you'll remember. Free Hide Folder's interface is a simple dialog; just a file menu and a taskbar containing basic control icons for adding, locking/unlocking, and password-protecting files. Selected items appear in the main window with their locked or unlocked state displayed. When we browsed to a folder to add, the program advised using the Backup feature to back up hidden files so they can be recovered in case something goes wrong (like a lost password). Backups are always good advice, and the program quickly created this one, triggering the Hide feature and listing the folder's status as hidden.

We navigated to the target directory via Explorer and were pleased not to see the folder in question. We then clicked Show in Free Hide Folder and returned to the directory; this time the file was visible and opened with a click. Though the folder and its contents were neither visible nor accessible in Windows, the properties dialog for the hidden folder's containing folder showed the actual number of total folders and files as well as their size. This means it's possible to tell which directories have hidden files and folders but not to access them, which might actually be an advantage if you forget where you've placed things.

It's long been possible to hide folders and files in Windows, but the built-in capability is too cumbersome for everyday use. Free Hide Folder augments that capability, transforming it into a handy, easy-to-use security tool that can keep your private files safe from snoops.

KeyLemon logs you in to your computer by using your face. More than just a glorified Webcam tool, it regularly checks to make sure that it really is you using the computer. The latest version of the app also comes with a neat Firefox plug-in called LemonFox, for added protection when logging into Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.

Once installed, the program's Wizard will walk you through creating a profile of your face, and link it to your computer's log-in. From there, KeyLemon defaults to checking the Webcam every 10 seconds, although you can always bypass it with your text-based log-in. If the face in front of the Webcam isn't yours, KeyLemon locks the computer--but not before taking a photo of the hijacker. KeyLemon will also lock the computer if it detects that nobody in front of the computer. You can change how often it checks the Webcam, create multiple profiles, toggle the log-in feature on and off, set it to run at start-up, and create your own skins. Just like the main program, the LemonFox plug-in opens to a tutorial to get your started and it uses the Webcam to prevent unauthorized access--at least on the computer that has KeyLemon installed. Hopefully, LemonFox will be able to support more Web sites in the future.

KeyLemon was largely, but not completely, problem-free. The most common software issue occurred when waking the computer. It would occasionally not recognize the face in the front of the Webcam. Also, it crashed the computer when jumping from the laptop dock to undocked mode. The biggest problem though was lighting. If the lights on your face are too strong, the program can't discern your features and it won't function. Overall, though, it seems like a solid software tool for adding an extra layer of security to your computer. Just don't expect it to fully replace your text-based or fingerprint log-in.

WinMend-Folder-Hidden Full Version Free Download

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sun, 30 Dec 2012 21:54:00 -0800

WinMend Folder Hidden is an interesting security utility that can safely hide any file or folder on a Windows partition or removable device, which covers most users' hard drives and external drives as well as flash drives, memory cards and sticks, micro devices, and anything else you can store a file on. Your files and folders stay safe and hidden even if they're reinstalled on another computer, and they can't be seen or accessed by other programs and operating systems. You can enable password protection for specific files and folders or whole volumes of data. WinMend claims that "safety first" was a guiding principle in developing Folder Hidden and promises it will never damage the files and folders it secures.

The program's interface is fairly basic, just a tabbed window with directory-style list and a few simple commands, but there are some customization options, such as the ability to change the layout's colors. One of the advantages WinMend claims for Folder Hidden is its ability to quickly hide virtually any size folder or file, up to dozens of gigabytes. It certainly performs its duty quickly and effectively, hiding folders from view and retrieving them when you enter your selected password.

There are lots of reasons to hide data, not the least of which is that it's part of a general PC security regimen that could head off a hassle some day. WinMend Folder Hidden is freeware. It works with 64-bit versions of Windows, including Vista, so Windows 7 shouldn't be a problem.

CNET Editors' review

If you're running a fairly recent edition of Windows, you're probably also using the built-in Windows Firewall. It does a good job, but there's no reason not to take advantage of much more capable (yet just as free) firewalls, especially when they're easier to use and come with significant extras. Take Comodo Firewall: This full-featured, multilayer firewall application uses cloud-based data to analyze new programs and data to prevent attacks, including zero-day attacks. It protects your system from viruses, Trojans, worms, hacker attacks, and other threats. Extras include a Geek Buddy subscription, the SecureDNS network, and a speedy, secure Web browser, Comodo Dragon.

Comodo Firewall's setup includes three network locations, with appropriate security levels for each: Home, Work, and Public. We chose Home. Comodo Firewall's operation is very much like other firewalls we've tried: the first time you use a program or access a Web site with the firewall running, you need to enable it in a pop-up that remembers your choice unless you tell it otherwise. The firewall's system tray icon accesses a menu that let us configure the Firewall and Defense & Security levels, and also its Sandbox feature and Game Mode.

Setup required a reboot, as did some settings, such as the Proactive Security Configuration. A simple, colorful interface gave us quick access to the two main components, the Firewall and Defense+ features. In daily use, Comodo Firewall is every bit as unobtrusive and easy to manage as the most popular free standalone firewalls for Windows, and just as flexible. It also includes lots of help options, such as the Geek Buddy feature and online forums and documentation.

We also like Dragon, which we updated shortly after installing it. Dragon automatically imported favorites, history, passwords, and other data we specified from our default browser (Chrome) including our bookmarks toolbar (thanks). Dragon is Chrome's cousin; it's based on the Chromium engine. Dragon is great for trying SecureDNS without altering your network settings. The SecureDNS network offers various security features, and it didn't slow down our browsing. Comodo Firewall is a top contender among free firewall applications.

Kaspersky Rescue Disk 10 Full Version Free Download

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 00:03:00 -0800

Kaspersky Rescue Disk is a virus removal solution for critical situations. It was designed to be used when regular antivirus software fails in detecting and cleaning a system of various infections.

If you own Kaspersky Antivirus or Kaspersky Internet Security, the Rescue Disk can be recorded directly via these products. If not, the ISO can be burned on a CD/DVD using your disc burner or choice. It can also be placed on a bootable USB device and launched from there.

Here’s how it works: set your system to boot from the CD / DVD/ USB device, insert the disc or the stick and restart the system. After a quick loading process, you are acquainted with the interface of Kaspersky Rescue Disc.

You simply select the objects Kaspersky should process (disk boot sectors, hidden startup objects, or local hard drives), and hit the scan button. The Rescue Disk then delivers a report of all malicious objects found in your system, such as viruses and Trojans, but also adware and other similar software. Infected files can be quarantined, disinfected, or removed.

The Settings menu allows you to configure the current security level, file types, scan optimization (i.e. skip files scanned longer than a given number of seconds), archive scanning, installation packages, and others.

Updates are done on a regular basis, and notifications can be set for malware detection or modifications, obsolete databases, failed tasks, or others.

In conclusion, Kaspersky Rescue Disk is a great way to remove threats that can’t be cleaned by standard antivirus solution. It requires quite the amount of effort (burning the CD / DVD), but it succeeds where other security solutions fail.

Kaspersky Rescue Disk description

· Options of the network configuring (including Wi-Fi and Wi-MAX) has been enhanced.
· Computer loading from a USB-drive has been improved.
· Boot speed of a distributive has been improved.
· Work in the graphic and text modes has been improved.
· Program modules have been updated.
· Kernel of the operating system has been updated.
· Third-party program packages have been updated.

ESET NOD32 Antivirus 5 Full Version Free Download

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 23:25:00 -0800

CNET Editors' review

The bottom line: Back from the nearly dead, or at least the un-updated, ESET returns with high-level security that's light on your system. For a basic antivirus suite that's light on your system and tough on malware, NOD32 gets a yes from us.

Review:

The last time ESET updated its two security suites--the antivirus and anti-malware-only NOD32 and the more feature-heavy alternative Smart Security--it was a different computer security world. It was March 2009: Anonymous barely existed, Stuxnet hadn't gone public, and ransomware was the stuff of science fiction.

Version 5 of ESET NOD32 is a solid, creative attempt to create a suite that adapts to a rapidly changing threatscape, with an emphasis on generic detections and the now-commonplace reliance on both cloud and locally stored detections. Where NOD32's bigger brother Smart Security 5 left us wanting more in the ancillary features department, the area that many don't consider "core" security, NOD32 strikes a perfect pitch between features, price, and effectiveness.

Installation
ESET's installation could be faster, although it's by no means sluggish. It's slowed down by a preponderance of screens, including registration, and an unnecessary query as to whether or not the user wants Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) protection activated or not. While a legitimate query, there's no reason for it to slow down the install by yet another screen to click through.

PUPs are definitely a security issue, though, so perhaps the program ought to just scan for them on the first scan automatically, and then ask you if it's a scan you always want.

One decent thing about the registration process is that it's all done from within the suite--no need to jump to your browser. Also, there's no reboot required after the installation. Still, the one-minute-or-less installs from Norton and Trend Micro should be a goal that all security suites aspire to.

Interface
The layout of ESET 5 remains unchanged from version 4, except for minor details, although neither is quite as easy to use as it ought to be. The interface opens to a window indicating your security status. The default is colored green and labeled Maximum Protection, which changes to red and a warning when core security features, such as Network Protection, have been disabled. The center pane doesn't indicate this very clearly, but the plain text Maximum Protection labels that tell you which parts of your computer and activity are protected are actually links. Click one to drill deeper into your settings, toggle features, and gain more granular control over your security.

The left nav lets you access other features, including Computer Scan, Update, Setup, Tools, and Help. To the interface's credit, each tab's layout is kept similar, and there are helpful mouse-over tooltips that help clarify things like the differences between default scans, but key features, like the Advanced Settings window, are hard to find.

Along with a lack of clarity about how to get around ESET's interface is the confusion created by redundancy. There's nothing gained by making things harder to find, and even savvy users will probably have to take more time than necessary to get up to speed.

Features and support
ESET NOD32 5's core features put the suite at or near the top of its class. Its collection of features, while not revolutionary, are nevertheless extremely well implemented. What it lacks are many of the modern ancillary features that justify the higher price.

On the side of the basics, there are two default scans: a "Smart Scan" and a custom scan. ESET has improved its antivirus and antispyware engines so that they don't detect only threats, but prevent your host files from corruption before the bad guys go after you. There's removable media control, so you can block USB keys or external drives from connecting to your computer, and the new gamer mode automatically initiates silent running whenever a program is running at full screen. This is perfect for movies and presentations, as well as games. You can also activate it from the system tray.

ThreatSense, ESET's cloud-based detection, isn't new--yep, it had it three years ago--but it's been expanded in version 5 to include reputation analysis. All of that comes in the basic NOD32. Upping to Smart Security gets you antispam, parental controls, and a "smart" firewall that learns how your computer uses the Internet very quickly.

ESET's browser guards are browser-agnostic, and don't require an extension. You won't get search results ratings, but ESET successfully blocked us from attempting to reach known dangerous Web sites clicked on in search results.

It's not too much of a stretch to say that ESET owns the Support space. In addition to the hot-line support, forums and knowledge base, no other security suite offers an education module like ESET does. Called "Cybersecurity Training," the module features an interactive city that you can explore to learn about how to protect yourself, your personal data, and your computer when online. It's an in-depth approach that we wish other vendors would take, because at the end of the day, it's going to be your own wits that keep you safest.

It's accessible from the installation CD if you buy the physical boxed copy of the program, and we're not sure just yet about how to launch it from the downloadable version.

Performance
ESET's overall performance presents a reliable security option. It's not the most effective security suite we've seen this year, and the benchmarks leave room for growth, but overall it's a solid, secure choice, with low false positives and a light touch on your computer's performance.

Real-world test results for ESET were confusing. On our real-world test computer, an x86 Windows 7 laptop that we use for all hands-on testing of security suites, ESET scans were invariably slow and ponderous. On average, the first scan took nearly two hours, and subsequent scans were only faster by about 20 to 30 minutes. These marks did not match up to CNET Labs' results, which found ESET's scan times on a freshly imaged computer to be among the fastest results we've seen so far this year. Because of the large number of programs that get installed and uninstalled on the real-world laptop, which could adversely affect the computer's Registry, we're inclined to favor the labs results in this case.

CNET Labs' benchmarks found both ESET Smart Security 5 and ESET NOD32 5 to have performed generally well above average. Note that we can't directly compare this year's results with last year's because we upgraded our testing computer from Windows 7 x64 to Windows 7 x64 with Service Pack 1.

Smart Security slowed down the Labs' computer boot time by an average of 17.2 seconds--five seconds faster than the average of all suites tested to date this year--whereas NOD32 5 added an impressively low 13.9 seconds. For both programs, ESET's boot time impact was minimal.

Both suites had a small impact on the computer's shutdown time, slowing it down only by about six to seven seconds longer than an unprotected computer. However, it should be noted that the shutdown time for an unprotected computer was half that, so even though ESET's impact was minimal when compared with other suites, it's still having a big affect on the computer itself.

On all of CNET's in-use system performance tests except for the Cinebench test, ESET's impact was extremely minimal. The Cinebench results were close to the average level of impact. So, all things being equal, you're not going to notice much when ESET is running as you go about your computing business. This was borne out by our real-world tests, too.

Norton AntiVirus 2013 Full Version Free Download

CNET Editors' review

Review:
Symantec has moved Norton 360 to the same release schedule as Norton Internet Security and Norton AntiVirus, making them into a three-tiered strategy for consumer security. Norton AntiVirus is the entry-level product, with Norton Internet Security occupying the middle rung and Norton 360 aimed at people who want the most bang for the most buck.

Notoriously slow to respond to trends, the consumer security field is surprisingly not taking Windows 8 lying down. Norton and many of its competitors are optimizing their suites for Microsoft's new operating system ahead of its release, and Norton is combining that strategy with efforts to protect you on social networks, protection against scams and other social engineering attacks, and a bolstered firewall.

Installation
Norton has gone to great lengths to improve its installer over the past three years, and it finally figured out how to bring you a feature we'd been long requesting: the restartless install. It may sound minor to longtime PC fans, but it makes a huge difference in your workflow. It's what people expect from mobile, so why not on Windows?

Once you run the installer, the program is ready to operate in about a minute -- impressively fast, and doubly so considering past performance. The installation process is also the first time that you will interact with Quorum, Norton's behavior-based detection engine. You'll be asked to participate by sending anonymous data to Symantec's cloud. Opting out of the data submission, according to Symantec, will not affect your security.

Running the trial of Norton also requires registering the program. Like many programs, Norton used to force your default browser to open and take you to the company's registration Web site. However, version numbers have largely gone the way of the mobile app. That is, just as mobile app version numbers aren't readily exposed, neither are they readily apparent in Norton, either. The idea is that, like Chrome's and Firefox's rapid-release cycles, new features will be pushed to Norton more often than once a year, and updates will be seamless.

Will it happen? That's hard to say, given the Windows security business' glacial pace of improvement. But it's certainly a step in the right direction that Norton competitors would do well to emulate.

Overall, Norton's installation experience was fast and hassle-free, with a minimum of configuration options, which all appeared necessary.

Interface
All the Norton products received a major overhaul this year as the interface has been optimized for touch screens and Windows 8. That doesn't mean that the advanced customizations aren't available, but there's no question that the new Norton design is focused on the future.

The design features four Windows 8-style tiles in the middle of a gray box. It's strongly influenced by Windows 8 design, but it actually isn't designed for the Metro side of Windows 8 -- it opens in a single window in Desktop mode.

There's one big color scheme difference between Norton 360 and the AntiVirus and Internet Security suites. Whereas those suites have the feature "tiles" in black, 360 is in yellow with fonts in white. It renders the user interface horribly garish, and the white on yellow is difficult to read.

Questionable colors aside, there are only minor differences between the versions. 360's tiles access Security, Identity, Backup, and Tuneup, while the other two focus on security status, Scan Now, LiveUpdate, and Advanced. At the top, there's navigation to Tasks, Settings, the Performance window, Feedback, Account details, and Support. On the right, there are icons to link you to device management for remotely controlling cross-device Norton installations on the same account; the QR code for Android under Mobile; Online Family for parental controls; and Safe Web for verifying URLs and search queries as safe.

Norton 360 also offers a link to Norton Studio, the oddly named Windows 8 app for managing your Norton account.

The interface is easy to use on Windows 8, as that's what it's been designed for. It's also effective on a Windows 7 computer. Despite the size of the main screen "tiles," it didn't feel awkward with a mouse. Likewise on Windows 8, we had no problem targeting the text based links deeper down in the settings.

However, some of the legacy features from last year, like the real-time Performance charts, look small on Windows 8. A redesign here would've been appreciated. Instead, much like Windows 8 itself, the Norton suites feel like they straddle the Metro and Desktop worlds. Most of the time it works. Occasionally, it's a bit weird, but it's never unusable.

Features and support
Much like last year's Norton updates, there are no world-shaking new features. However, if you're on social networks a lot, or you're planning to upgrade to Windows 8, there are some good improvements worth calling out.

The new Scam Insight takes browsing data from Norton's Insight network of anonymous user-contributed data to warn the Norton community when a Web site is potentially risky. Sites that are new or do not have an established reputation will be flagged. It can be overridden, but it's also a good way to help judge when a site that looks like your bank's site actually isn't.

The Insight network now tracks IP addresses, too, for determining when a new threat is coming from a repeated source. Meanwhile, improvements made to the Norton Intrusion Prevention System and the Norton Safe Web for Facebook app keep an eye out for threats such as linkjacking and posts with links to malicious sites.

Norton 2013 also integrates with Windows 8's ELAM, the Early Launch of Anti-Malware hook that allows security software to boot earlier than on Windows 7. This prevents certain kinds of rootkits from infecting your computer. Also for Windows 8, there's a new memory heap manager to minimize the vulnerability to memory exploits.

If you're new to Norton or considering a return, there have been improvements over the past few years that have once again made it a competitive suite. The reputation-based security checks where your programs were installed from and when they were installed, and compares that data against the tens of millions of users participating in the crowdsourced Norton Community Watch to see if any of your programs should be red-flagged. Norton's System Insight warns you when your programs unnecessarily hog system resources. This gives some extra heft to the system performance map, where you can click on any spike and see what caused it.

Download Insight applies the same reputation-based logic to new downloads, and Norton SONAR (Symantec Online Network for Automatic Response) looks for suspicious software behavior and automatically chooses protective actions. You can toggle how aggressive SONAR is in the Settings window.

Along with the quick scan, full system scan, and custom scan for viruses and malware, you can now have Norton scan your Facebook wall for malicious links. There are also on-demand reputation-based quick scans, full scans, and custom scans for those who want Norton to immediately scan their installed programs. After completing a scan, Norton provides you with a summary report. More detailed information, including scan duration and a deeper dive into threats discovered, can be read under the History option from the main window. There's also a link you can follow in case you believe that Norton missed something in its scan, although as reputation-based protection matures, on-demand scanning is becoming less necessary when compared with the "always-on" protection offered here.

The bootable recovery tool comes with a feature that automatically creates a CD-, DVD-, or USB-based bootable device. The USB component is especially important on systems that don't have optical drives, such as Netbooks.

What separates Norton 360 from Norton Internet Security are the backup/restore tools and the PC tuneup tools. AntiVirus lacks those, as well as parental controls and identity protection options. Norton 360 includes a stingy 2 GB of online storage and costs $79.99, while buying the $99.99 Premiere version bumps you up to 25GB of online storage. Norton Internet Security 2013 goes for $69.99, and $49.99 will get you Norton AntiVirus 2013.

The tune-up options are fairly boilerplate, although they do work well. You get hard-drive cleaning, Registry cleaning, Windows start-up tweaks, and on-the-fly RAM management.

As with the rest of the program, the support options have been streamlined behind a drop-down menu in the top right of the interface. Help opens local support, Tutorials takes you to a Web site with extensive how-tos, and the Get Support link accesses the breadth of Norton's customer support in a new window. Here, you can chat with tech support 24-7, explore the user manual, and check out the Norton FAQ and knowledge base. Phone support is also available, although Symantec takes part in the trend of making phone support harder to access by funneling users to online resources.

Price-wise, Norton AntiVirus is higher than most competitors for its level of features, while the non-Premier version of Norton 360 costs a bit lower. The features are competitive, but those price points certainly skew the discerning buyer towards the higher end.

Performance
Norton's fast installation and comprehensive feature set would be useless without solid performance, and Norton Internet Security 2012 delivers extremely high third-party efficacy benchmarks and strong performance benchmarks.

In a real-world test, Norton 2012 completed a Quick Scan in 2 minutes, 35 seconds; the Full Scan took 1 hour, 23 minutes, and 24 seconds. Both are in the ballpark of last year's scans.

After publishing this review, CNET Labs discovered a hardware error on our test computer that affected our published system benchmarks. CNET Labs' revised benchmarks found all three Norton suites to have performed extremely well in most areas.

Symantec has been boosting its small impact on startup times, and our new benchmarks verify this: Norton 360 only slowed down startup by about 3 seconds, Norton Internet Security added about 4 seconds to boot, while Norton AntiVirus added around 7 seconds. These are excellent numbers, and the majority of our other tests show that the suite does have a small system impact.

Shutdown time for all three was around 3 to 4 seconds slower than for an unprotected computer. While the toll taken on in-program performance wasn't great, it wasn't atrociously slow, either. Our new Wake from Sleep test found that all three Norton suites actually woke the test computer from sleep about 50 percent faster than with an unprotected computer.

Taking into consideration variations in hardware, you're not going to notice much when Norton is running as you go about your computing business.

Panda Cloud Antivirus Full Version Free Download

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Wed, 26 Dec 2012 22:34:00 -0800

CNET Editors' review

The bottom line: Panda Cloud Antivirus Free 2.0 gets impressive marks for its detection rates, making it a solid dark-horse candidate even though it could be lighter on system impact. However, it still lacks some of the features in other free security suites.

Review:
When it originally debuted, Panda Cloud Antivirus was notable as a free security solution for two reasons: Panda traded on its reputation as a solid security suite vendor making its first foray into the realm of freeware, and the program attained its goal of freeing up system resources by putting much of the program's heavy lifting in the cloud. Now we can add a third reason to the list: it's now known as an effective alternative to the security powerhouses.

Editors' note: Portions of this review are based on CNET's review of Panda Cloud Antivirus Pro 2.0.

Installation
Panda Cloud Antivirus' installation is a simple, trimmed-down affair. The installer could load faster, and takes more than five minutes to install. Part of this is because it's downloading local files for stronger offline protection than before, but that doesn't change that it's not a quick procedure.

You can customize the installation folder, but like many security suites, it also opts you in to several system changes. These include a toolbar, changing your default search provider to Google, and a home page change. While we understand the financial reasons for doing so, that doesn't make having to opt-out (or revert the changes if you didn't notice them) any less annoying.

Interface
Cloud AV's interface retains its gray color scheme and modularized presentation of features for a usable, uncluttered combo. It's easy to navigate, and is blissfully distraction free. However, if you're looking for a suite that exposes a lot of security data in a visually interesting way, you're going to have to look elsewhere.

Your security status sits at the top, a blue shield indicating that your computer is safe, a horizontal green bar graph indicating real-time protection, a magnifying glass to indicate scanning, and indicators for viruses detected and files in Panda's recycle bin. This is all flash, though: it's one big link to the scan utility.

Below that, there's the link to the Firewall, which is grayed out in the free version, the Panda-provided process monitor that uses crowd-sourcing to determine a process's safety, and the USB key "vaccine," which scans USB sticks for threats.

A small globe in the lower right corner lets you configure a proxy connection for the program.

Cloud Antivirus doesn't have the world's most brilliant layout, but it is undeniably clean, simple, and usable without looking archaic.

Features and support
The uncluttered Cloud AV interface belies some useful security tools that make this version much more competitive than before. In version 2.0, Cloud Antivirus Free gets access to the behavioral analysis engine that had previously been only in the Pro version. Other improvements in both versions include a better exposure of how Cloud Antivirus protects you when you're offline, a cloud-based disinfection protocol, and dramatic improvements in scan benchmarking.

It works as other antivirus solutions do, offering a semi-quick scan (called Optimized Scan,) a full scan (called Scan My Computer,) and a custom scan for specific folder, files, and drives. Where ancillary features used to be exceptionally light, they've now begun to fill out -- even in the free version.

You can customize the scans to detect potentially unwanted programs (PUPs), toggle off behavioral detections and analysis, archive file scans, and how the scan reacts to detected threats. There's an exclusion list, and quarantine management, which is the "recycle bin."

As noted above, the process manager uses Panda's crowd-supplied data to help determine if any running processes are malicious. The spreadsheet layout tells you if a process is safe, if it's been signed, and when it was last detected. It'll let you know when a program last accessed the Internet, if it has any restrictions placed on it, and you can double-click on a process to see the list of URLs that it's visited.

Meanwhile, the USB key vaccine can control autorun, a common source of woe, and automatically scan USB drives when connected. It's a simple and effective tool available to both free and paid customers.

Removed from this version of Panda Cloud Antivirus is a global settings window. While you can configure settings on a per-feature basis when you access each one, there's no single settings clearinghouse as there are in most other programs. We didn't find this to be problematic -- once we realized it wasn't there.

If you've paid for a Pro license, you'll get access to Cloud Antivirus' firewall, which supplements the default Windows one. If you're on Windows 7, you won't notice much -- it'll only help with outbound connections, because the default supplies excellent inbound protection -- but on older Windows machines the firewall ought to be very attractive. It comes with program controls, intrusion prevention controls, and presets for Home, Work, and Public Internet connection profiles.

Cloud AV also comes with a browser toolbar for simplified secure searches, browsing data removal, and toolbar cleaning. This last feature will uninstall unwanted toolbars. During our tests, it would not work on removing itself, though.

The free version of Cloud AV 2.0 is a bit light on features when compared with other free suites, while Pro will get you somewhere between an basic and mid-level paid competitor. So why recommend Free at the same level as Pro? It's been surprisingly effective at stopping threats.

Performance
We have to confess that Panda Cloud Antivirus 2.0's benchmarks surprised us. We expected it to leave a small footprint on the system, but not be particularly effective at stopping threats. In fact, the benchmarks tell the opposite tale.

Two independent testing organizations placed Cloud AV 1.5.2, the most recent version for which test results are available, much higher on its efficacy charts than we expected it to be. AV-Test gave Panda Cloud Antivirus 1.5.2 a 14.5 out of 18, a very respectable score. It was made even more noteworthy because it outperformed its cousin, Panda Internet Security, which only earned a 13.5 out of 18.

AV-Comparitives gave the same version of Cloud Antivirus a "Advanced" rating, finding it 97.1 percent effective at blocking threats with minimal false positives.

These positive marks for efficacy stand in contrast to CNET Labs' benchmarks, which found Cloud Antivirus 2.0 to have a more noticeable impact on system performance than previous versions. Computer startup was sluggish, to be mild about it, and shutdown impact was slow, too. Antivirus scans were slow, which tracks with our experience on a real-world computer, and in-program performance was sub-par. Only our Cinebench test found Panda Cloud Antivirus 2.0 to be above-average.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 22 Dec 2012 21:57:00 -0800

CNET Editors' review

What's the top media player? Opinions differ, but if you mean one that's open-source freeware, plays more files than the others, can be totally customized and configured to suit, and is not only updated frequently but also regularly offers new features and options created by a huge community of programmers and users, the answer is VLC Media Player.

Our default media player for years, VLC has managed to stay ahead of the competition in features and performance, if not always looks, though that's easy enough to fix if you want to. VLC and its source code are maintained by the all-volunteer VideoLAN Organization.

VLC is quick and easy to install.

You can make VLC your default media player for various (or all) file types, but if you just want to try VLC without giving up your current player, you can skip the file associations. We clicked the familiar orange-and-white traffic cone icon to open VLC's famously plain interface, which is also a model of efficient layout design (and completely customizable, in any case: clicking the skinned player option in VideoLAN's Start Menu folder opens VLC in a sleek new view).

Effects? VLC has 'em: Audio, Video, and Synchronization effects, including a graphic equalizer with many presets; totally customizable dynamic range compression; an audio spatializer tool; AtmoLight video effects; interactive zoom; logos and overlays; and even special effects like blur, wave, water, and mirror effects. VLC's minimized interface hides the player's controls until you need them, and a raft of hot keys make it easy to toggle between views and to quickly access any of VLC's features. Playback quality is as good as it gets. We've used VLC to play MP3s, WAVs, CDs, DVDs, Flash video, and other formats. As for support, few programs of any sort can match VLC's Help files and wikis, and its dedicated community of users, forums and other online resources.

From myriad file types to playlists to codecs and video capture, if it's useful to have in a media player, VLC has probably got it or soon will. VLC plays everything: if there's a media file it can't play but should, just ask!

Adobe Photoshop CS6 Full Version Free Download

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 22 Dec 2012 21:57:00 -0800

Photoshop CS6 is the latest version of Adobe's flagship editing program.

The first change you'll notice in this release is the revamped interface. Part of this is cosmetic - it's much darker than before - but there are plenty of functional changes, too. Cropping is arguably easier, properties panels fly out, and there are a host of other optimisations dotted around (the Liquify interface is notably simplified, for instance).

Extended content-aware functionality sees the addition of a Content Aware Move, which enables you to draw around an object and move it to another part of the image, while Photoshop intelligently fills in the background. This doesn't always work, unsurprisingly, but a Content Aware Patch option means you can give the program a little assistance, where necessary.

Layer enhancements see Shape Layers replaced by Vector Layers, which can have a stroke and a fill (solid colours, gradients or patterns).

New blur options - Field, Iris and Tilt-Shift - help you to adjust your depth of field and decide exactly which parts of the photo you'd like blurred, and all with convenient on-image controls so you get a full-sized preview of the results.

There are a host of improvements elsewhere. Adobe Camera Raw 7.0 is easier to use, and offers new Shadow and Highlight controls; the Adaptive Wide Angle tool provides more control over lens corrections; image autocorrections are more intelligent, the rewritten 3D engine is faster and offers additional options, and the program's painting tools have been extended with new erodible brushes.

None of this seems quite enough for Adobe, though, who with this release have also greatly extended Photoshop's video functionality. The new video import engine can handle a wider range of formats, including AVCHD; a new Timeline panel presents your video more intelligently; and you can add a separate audio track, drag and drop transitions and fades, and easily cut, splice and preview clips to produce the results you need.

Please note, the download here is for Adobe's Download Manager, which you'll have to use to grab and install the full version of Photoshop for you. This takes a while, though - it's a big 1.2GB download - so you'll need to be patient.
