Functionality of the Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0



Hourly updates and fastest response times ensure you benefit from the industry's most up-to-date protection.



New - Advanced anti-virus engine delivers the industry's fastest scan times (Passmark Security, June 2007). Saves time and improves performance.


Protects you from the phishing and malware sites that you wouldn't otherwise know were attempting to steal from you.



Kaspersky Security Network allows your computer to report when it discovers a threat that hasn't been seen before. All 250 million Kaspersky users benefit from our combined knowledge!



Kaspersky Lab's newest products -Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2009 and Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 - are based on the very latest developments in security technologies.




Kaspersky Lab experts predict huge growth in the number of new malicious programs appearing in 2008; a predicted ten-fold increase means the number of malicious programs will exceed 20 million.




Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 addresses this threat by using a groundbreaking approach to antivirus protection: system-wide monitoring to ensure users are completely protected from all IT threats.

Should we blame our lisping, soft-spoken ways, the software, or the hardware?

Dragon performs a microphone check during setup. When our volume was too low on the Windows Vista laptop, we couldn't use the software. Somehow reading our frustrated mind, it typed "I hate you I" when we said, "Type. Type!" Saying "crazy" got spelled out as "greasy." Then "greasy," spoken, translated to "leafy," then "greens fee," then "Greenstein." In fact, the included headset didn't deliver adequate voice quality to use Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 at all. We reverted to the same headset packaged with Dragon 9, with better results.


Training is optional, but we recommend stepping through its paces to get Dragon up to speed with your speech patterns. Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 can also scan the documents and e-mails on your computer to look for commonly used words.


Features


New to this update is support for accents which include, oddly enough, Teen English alongside American, Australian, Southern Asian, British, Dutch, French, German, Italian, and Spanish accents. And there's improved QuickVoice formatting. For instance, now you can utter the command, "Underline The Grapes of Wrath" to underline the book's title, which took two steps with previous versions.


In addition, Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 introduces Voice Shortcuts that enable you to look things up online quickly in your default browser. Tell Dragon to "search YouTube for Martin Luther King's 'I Have a Dream Speech,'" and relevant results appear on YouTube. The same applies for Wikipedia, eBay, and Amazon. Dragon10 is also built to search within Windows Vista folders and in Google Desktop.


This application supports commands in Microsoft Word, Corel WordPerfect, Microsoft Outlook Express, Internet Explorer, and AOL. Using Dragon with the Google Docs online word processor was trickier in our tests than with Microsoft Word 2003 or 2007. People with disabilities can mostly drop the mouse and the keyboard, asking Dragon to do the work for them. But if you have the choice, we still prefer manual controls to the tedious attempts at using Dragon to cut and paste chunks of text within a long document.


The more you use Dragon, correcting its errors and adding your own lingo to its vocabulary, the better it gets. It already recognizes everything from "a cappella" to "smiley-face" to "ZZ Top." Abbreviations and tech slang work, too; speaking "dot ASP" spells ".ASP" and saying "smiley-face" will spell out this character: :-) Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 has the intelligence to detect words within context. For example, it knows to type "eating a carrot" instead of "eating a karat."


You don't need to speak like a robot into the mic, although enunciating helps. If you tend to mumble, then act as if you're reading a book to a child or a teleprompter for a newscast when using Dragon. Out of the box, the application does very well with long, polysyllabic words. But we've found it difficult for Dragon versions 8, 9, and 10 to distinguish between short words with similar vowel sounds, such as "a," "the," and "of."


You can plug in a variety of voice recorders for Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 to transcribe your own voice. The application supports MP3, WAV, and WMA audio files. You can create a profile of your voice for a mobile recording device, such as a Pocket PC handheld. After you record your thoughts on the go, you can feed Dragon that sound file later for transcription.


Unfortunately, the Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 license is only good for one user. To the woe of journalists and college students, Dragon won't transcribe your recording of, say, an interview subject or a college professor.


Service and support


Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 includes free telephone or online chat support for one installation incident, without which we wouldn't have been able to run Windows Vista installation. Step-by-step setup help and tutorials are excellent. We found the searchable online knowledgebase to be well organized. Peer support is also available online.

Keep computer running well

NEW YORK - If you've noticed that your computer is running slower than usual, there are probably some good reasons. Spyware and other hidden problems may be behind it. This is nothing that a little routine maintenance won't take care of. From ARA Lifestyle.com, here are three suggestions for keeping your computer in good working condition:


• Clean up registry errors. Registry errors cause your computer to slow down. Everyday uses such as installing and removing software and playing online games can create errors in your PC's registry. The more errors you have the more likely that you will experience a problem. To remedy these, download a registry cleaner. These programs will scan your PC's registry and identify any errors. They will then fix the errors, restoring your PC's performance.


• Eliminate spyware. Spyware is software that can be installed on your computer without your knowledge. In addition to collecting information on your surfing habits, it can also slow down your computer considerably. You should scan daily for these programs if you use the Internet often or make frequent downloads.Antispyware programs can be found on the Internet. Many companies allow you to download it for free.


• Keep an eye out for viruses. Viruses remain one of the major threats to your PC's security. Don't ignore these insidious problems. The best way to protect yourself is to subscribe to a virus protection software, particularly one that offers constant updates. You should scan for new viruses at least once a week. If you're a heavy Internet user or receive a lot of unsolicited e-mail, more frequently wouldn't hurt.



With an estimated 90% of people connected to the internet being infected with some form of spyware, there is no doubt that this is a major problem. In fact, if you notice any of the three things below...


Your computer is running slowly


You have downloaded software or music online


You keep seeing pop-up advertisements


... Chances are you have spyware chewing up your system right now.




Spyware can be damaging to say the least. Why? because it goes beyond serving pop-up ads and changing your homepage. Programs such as keyloggers will record personal information such as bank account details, and in order to stop this going on, you need some kind of protection.



Spyware Cleaner can scan your Momory, Registry, Hard drives, and external storage devices.Effectively remove spyware, adware, trojans, keyloggers, home page hijackers, and malware threats even dangerous threats .With the built_in Check for Updates feature of the Spyware Cleaner, you can help ensure your protection is up_to_date. Spyware Cleaner easily can clean your system.

Golden Systems launches Kaspersky's 2009 series of products in UAE!!!

Golden Systems Electronics, the leading distributor of IT products in the Middle East, today announced the launch of Kaspersky Anti Virus 2009 and Kaspersky Internet Security 2009 in the UAE market.



Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of Internet threat management solutions, has detected two variants of a new worm, Networm.Win32.Koobface.a. and Networm.Win32.Koobface.b, which attack. As part of their malicious payload, the worms transform victim machines into zombie computers to form botnets.



Kaspersky Lab warns users that the worms are designed to upload additional malicious modules with other functionality via the Internet. It is highly probable that victim machines will not only be used for spreading links via these social networking sites, but the botnets will also be used for other malicious purposes.

Review: PC Tools Spyware Doctor with Antivirus 6 security software

Spyware Doctor with Antivirus 6 is the latest in a series of security applications from PC Tools designed to protect your PC from a range of spyware and virus threats.



After a straightforward setup and an initial update to retrieve the latest additions to its database, the main screen provides the user with access to the tools on offer along with a system summary.



Spyware Doctor includes two main ways to protect your machine: the system scanner and the Intelli-guard tool suite. The former offers a choice of intelligent scanning, which focuses on the critical system resources, a full-scan that include all disks, and a custom scan that allows users to choose specific folders and scan types.



We were impressed by how fast and comprehensive the intelligent scan was - this alone seemed capable of quickly identifying and removing even the most recent threats. The full scan took quite some time but will only really be necessary if you suspect an attack on other partitions or disks installed on the computer.



The Intelli-guard tools also provide active protection against incoming viruses and spyware. This includes guards for your browser and against cookies, plus email and network protection and other general utilities. There isn't a lot of control over these and in most cases you're simply given the option of enabling or disabling them, but they're all switched on by default and with little or no impact on system performance there doesn't seem to be any reason to have to pick and choose.



You'll find a handful of advanced settings for tweaking the behaviour of the software and a comprehensive history of detected threats, along with a scheduler to automate scans and a Global Action List, in which you can add rules to automatically block or allow specific websites or files.



We were very impressed both by how easy Spyware Doctor was to use and the range of protection available. The software takes a very unobtrusive approach and with hardly any impact on performance it's an ideal solution for beginners who want peace of mind without being bothered by interruptions and confusing pop-ups.



Vista compatible: Yes




Spyware Doctor-the lastest version 6.0


Editor's Choice Anti-Spyware


Don't compromise your security with second best!


-Recommended by experts and editors around the world as the best Anti-Spyware.


-FREE customer support for all users.

Note: If you are choosing Anti-Spyware make sure you choose one that is proven and has genuine awards from one or more world leading research labs such a PC Magazine, PC World, CNET, PC Pro Magazine, PC Authority, PC Answers and other trusted labs. More importantly do not use ratings from unknown review websites, as often these are designed to mislead you into purchase of affiliated, inferior or rogue product.


Detects, removes and blocks all types of Spyware.


Did you know that numerous programs tested against Spyware Doctor detected only small fraction of Spywareand completely removed an even smaller amount? Also most of them were unable to effectively block Spywarein real time from being installed on users PC in the first place.


Spyware Doctorhas the most advanced update feature that continually improves its Spywarefighting capabilities on daily basis. As Spywaregets more complex to avoid detection by Anti-Spyware programs Spyware Doctor responds with new technology to stay one step ahead.


Easiest to Use


Spyware Doctoris advanced technology designed especially for people, not just experts. That is one reason why it won the People's Choice Award in 2005, 2006 and 2007. It is automatically configured out of the box to give you optimal protection with limited interaction so all you need to do is install it for immediate and ongoing protection.


Spyware Doctor's advanced OnGuard technology only alerts users on a true Spywaredetection. This is significant because you should not be interrupted by cryptic questions every time you install software, add a site to your favorites or change your PC settings. Such messages can be confusing and lead to undesirable outcomes such as inoperable programs, lost favorites or even Spyware being allowed to install on the system. We've done the research so you don't have to.


Next-Generation Computer Antivirus System Developed

"Antivirus software on your personal computer could become a thing of the past thanks to a new "cloud computing" approach to malicious software detection developed at the University of Michigan. The researchers' new approach, called CloudAV, moves antivirus functionality into the "network cloud" and off personal computers. CloudAV analyzes suspicious files using multiple antivirus and behavioral detection programs simultaneously. Traditional antivirus software that resides on a personal computer checks documents and programs as they are accessed. Because of performance constraints and program incompatibilities, only one antivirus detector is typically used at a time. The researchers see promising opportunities in applying CloudAV to cell phones and other mobile devices that aren't robust enough to carry powerful antivirus software."



What's new?


With this new version of Windows Live OneCare, our aim was to help consumers better manage their home environment. Our research has shown that most homes now have approximately 2.5 computers. This means that in addition to securing and maintaining multiple PCs, consumers now need to do the extra work associated with connecting devices and securing networks. To ease this burden, features such as multi-PC and home network management as well as printer sharing have been added to OneCare to help address the needs of the modern home environment.


This new version also establishes a foundation to better fill the needs of small businesses. Many small businesses need to protect and maintain a number of PCs, but may not have the resources for extensive onsite IT support. To help solve this problem, centralized backup has been added to OneCare so local backup on a small business network is a simple step instead of a time consuming hassle.


Here's a quick overview of the new features added to OneCare version 2.0 to help keep users' PCs and networks safe, reliable, and performing well:



  • Multi-PC and home network management: Helps ease management of multiple-PC environments by providing a single navigation bar for monitoring the security and maintenance of networked computers. Also enables one-click actions to resolve issues among computers within a home PC network.

  • Printer sharing support: Makes it easy to connect printers to local networks so all users in the vicinity can use the same printer.

  • Start time optimizer: Speeds PC boot time by removing rarely used applications from start-up menu. This helps to address one of the main areas of frustration for PC users as time goes on.

  • Proactive fixes and recommendations: Windows Live OneCare constantly monitors the specific configuration of the user's system and makes proactive fixes and recommendations to improve the computing experience.

  • WiFi security: Keep your home or small business wireless network safe with the new OneCare WiFi security feature.

  • Centralized backup: Enables users to centrally configure and monitor backups for all PCs covered under the same OneCare subscription, with the data from all PCs backed up to a central location.

  • Online photo backup: Keeps precious photos safe from theft or accidental loss by backing them up to a secure, offsite location in Windows Live (available to OneCare subscribers at an extra cost in the final v2.0 release).


All-in-one protection and maintenance


In one convenient package, Windows Live OneCare helps protect your computer, uses its optimization features to keep your PC running at its speediest, and even regularly backs up your important files:



  • Protection Plus uses antivirus and antispyware scanners, a managed two-way firewall, and integrated anti-phishing technology to protect your computer from viruses, worms, Trojan horses, hackers, phishing, and other threats. It runs continuously, but you can scan individual files and folders for viruses on demand simply by right-clicking them. You can even scan attachments you receive via Windows Live Messenger or MSN Messenger.

  • Performance Plus regularly defragments your hard disk, removes any unnecessary files that may clog your computer, and helps ensure important security updates from Microsoft are installed efficiently and on time.

  • Backup and Restore regularly copies your important files and settings to CD, DVD, external hard disk, network drive, or other data-storage device.

  • Instant Help provides online help anytime you need it, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Antivirus Scam Is Popping Up on Computers

As the WLTX station coordinator, Kecia Harley is bombarded by phone calls and email.



Harley said, "I got one email I was trying to delete and for some strange reason, things started loading on my computer."



So now, when Kecia tries to use her computer, a certain screen appears. Kecia said, "It tells me a problem has been detected and Windows shut down." Our station webmaster, Jason Baldwin, says he's not completely sure what virus or spyware made Kecia's computer crash, but she may have fallen victim to the XP Antivirus 2009 scam.



Baldwin said, "They can show up over email and you can go to a normal website and it takes you over and says you've got spyware and you've got viruses."



Baldwin says a computer screen comes up saying that your PC is infected.



From there, he says the screen will appear as if it is scanning your hard drive for viruses.



Baldwin said, "Although it looks like it's going through the computer, it's not doing anything. It's just an animated graphic."



He says at that time, users should just shut their computer down. He says the antivirus gives the computer a virus. In fact, the computer does just the opposite of what you think.



Baldwin says there are reputable antivirus program you can install like Ad-aware and Spybot Search and Destroy.



You can also call a computer expert or technician to help you fix the problem.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0's proactive protection achieves the highest certification in the latest AV-Comparatives tests

Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content management solutions, announces that Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 has demonstrated the highest level of reliability and effectiveness of its proactive protection system in a series of tests conducted by AV-Comparatives.org, a respected Austrian antivirus lab. Based on the results, Kaspersky Anti-Virus was awarded the highest certification: Advanced+.


"New malicious programs and viruses appear every day and it is evident that antivirus database updates, even hourly, are not enough to provide users with reliable protection from possible Internet threats. There is always a time "gap" between the appearance of a new threat and the release of an update. So to provide effective antivirus protection it is important to effectively detect new threats," says the head of the AV-Comparatives lab Andreas Clementy.



AV-Comparatives conducted a series of tests in order to compare the effectiveness of various antivirus solutions' on-demand detection of malicious programs (by the program scanner). This method makes it possible to estimate the effectiveness of the heuristic analyzer, one of the components of the proactive protection system. The testing included 17 antivirus products for home users with antivirus databases that were dated August 5, 2007. The sample of malicious programs used in the tests appeared after this date.



Based on the results, Kaspersky Anti-Virus 7.0 was awarded the highest certification-Advanced+, which confirms the program has the highest level of detection of new malicious programs with minimal false positives using the antivirus program's heuristic analyzer. It should be noted that only 1 other products tested was awarded this certification.



"Kaspersky Lab developed and introduced a new heuristic analyzer in it's version 7.0 home user products in the summer of this year. In June 2007 this new module first participated in AV-Comparatives' testing and immediately received the Advanced+ certificate," says Deputy Director of the Innovation Technologies Nikolay Grebennikov. "This is a long-awaited and very significant assessment of Kaspersky Lab's work."



The heuristic analyzer is only one of the components of the proactive protection module included in Kaspersky Lab products. Contrary to most competitors' products, Kaspersky Lab products provide additional protection: a behavior blocker, which blocks the activity of malicious programs based on their behavior. The effectiveness of this module was also tested by AV-Comparatives in June 2007, with the test developers commenting: "The results of the tests performed with the randomly chosen malicious programs have confirmed the highest protection level and the effectiveness of the behavior blocker, which is awarded the Proactive Protection Award of the AV-Comparatives test laboratory."

New TV infor about Comic-Con Confidential - LOST

After their airplane crashes in the Pacific, 48 disparate survivors are forced to adapt to life on a deserted island. As they get to know each other, some become friends, others enemies and some stories remain to be told. Each survivor seems to harbor their own secrets and dark pasts and confront their own personal demons on the island. the main group consists of Jack, the doctor and de facto leader; Kate, the beautiful escaped convict; Hurley, big man with the warm heart; Charlie, has-been rock star dealing with a heroin habit; Sayid, Former Iraqi Republican Guard communications expert; Jin and Sun, a Korean couple with cultural boundaries; Sawyer, red neck loose cannon, Michael and his son Walt, who never really knew each other until the crash; Locke, mysteriously healed of his need for a wheel chair and seems to understand some secrets of the island; Spoiled brat Shannon and her more giving brother Boone; and Claire, a young and very pregnant woman who struggles bringing her child into life as a castaway. The band of friends, family, enemies and strangers must work together against the cruel weather and harsh terrain if they want to stay alive. But the island holds many secrets, including the intense howls of the mysterious creatures stalking the jungle, which fill them all with fear. Fortunately, thanks to the calm leadership of quick-thinking Jack and levelheaded Kate, they have hope. But even heroes have secrets, as the survivors will come to learn. Through flashbacks of individual characters, the lives they led prior to the crash informs about how they got to the island as well as who they are as individuals. Season 2 gave more insight about the Island, the mysterious hatch, and the Others. The survivors unite with the survivors of the tail section of the plane that landed on the other side of the Island and continue to find that somehow they may all be interconnected. Season 3 picked up with Jack, Sawyer and Kate in captivity with the Others. More is revealed about them and their purpose on the Island and how they got there, specifically their leader Ben who has a tenuous connection to the Island, as well as Juliet, originally Jack s captor, but eventually reveals her agenda is doesn t line up as closely with her comrades. The season closes with the Survivors potentially on the verge of rescue, Ben having lost control of his people and the island and back in captivity with Jack, Juliet joining the ranks of the crash survivors and a mysterious glimpse into the possible future of Jack and Kate and perhaps the other survivors as well. Season 4 begins with the arrival of a freighter. There is division amongst the islanders - the people who want to meet the rescuers, led by Jack and Kate, and the people who want to heed Charlie s warning and stay away from them, led by Locke. Four new people arrive on the island, but rescuing the passengers of Flight 815 is not their primary objective.



Editor's Review - My Internet TV


As the name suggests, 'My Internet TV' is an internet TV player which uses the Windows Media Player engine. The list of TV channels includes hundreds of stations from all around the world.


There are three viewing mode, including full screen, you can add channels to a list of favorites and you can search for channels.


Among its features, I was able to spot a very interesting one. A preview window in which you can preview a channel while you are already watching one on its main player. This works as a PIP (picture in picture) feature on a regular TV set.


Pluses:


Drawbacks / flaws: Many channels aren't working. There's no option for updating the list neither of channels nor to manually add channels.


In conclusion: I believe this program still needs some improvement in order to become a competitive Internet TV player.
