We ran a post in the beginning of this month (read: Avira Antivir Update Hangs)that mentioned a growing problem that users of Avira Antivir were experiencing. The problem these users were experiencing was a permanent update failure during the virus definition update of the antivirus software. Some users were able to fix these difficulties by manually updating their Antivir installation, others were not able to solve the problem and decided to switch to other security software programs instead.
Avira made an announcement a few days ago where they addressed that problem somewhat. They mention that they have realized that “users of the free Avira AntiVir Personal had issues fetching the Updates in time recently”. This is not exactly the same issue but it could very well be related.

Samsung put out on display two phones that have not been announced yet. And as one can expect, they got covered on the Internet. These phones flag off a whole new line of Samsung phones called the Diva. The first phone is a full touchscreen phone that has a 3” resistive touch display with a WQVGA resolution. It is running the TouchWiz UI, has a 5MP autofocus camera, a microSD expansion slot, Bluetooth and even FM radio. This is the S7070 and it is apparently coming out in the first quarter of 2010. The back of the phone is white with a diamond patterned texture.
Okay, so we have more rumors about the Motorola Motus. We have specs, features, a new name and also a very shaky picture. I mean it looks like it the camera was attached to the hull of a small fishing boat on the Bering sea or something! Nonetheless, now that it looks so close to coming out, lets look back and see where it all began.
