I have the feeling that this offer wont last long so you better hurry up. A free registration at the Chinese Kaspersky forum will reward the user with a Kaspersky Anti-Virus key that is valid for one year. The only catch, if you can speak of a catch, is that the website is in Chinese and that users have to navigate and register an account on that website.

It seems like Grisoft, the developers of AVG Anti-Virus, are giving away a copy of AVG 7.5 Professional for free in a promotion that ends January 17th. The retail price for this product is $29.95 for a one year subscription. There is no word on the page with the offer for how long it will be possible to update the software to the latest professional version.

If you need to quickly check a file for malicious code that you downloaded then Virus Total might be something you might want to take a closer look at.This service stands out because it uses multiple antivirus engines instead of just one or two. The antivirus engines list looks pretty impressive because it contains 32 engines.

Many novice users use the software that comes preinstalled with their purchased computer and rely on these to be safe from the dangers that lurk on every corner in the Internet. Trojans, Malware, Spyware, Phishing and worse are threats that every user should know about and be able to deal with. It is pretty easy to detail my security concept, it is not the most secure on earth but even those are not secure at all. If you want security do not connect to the Internet at all, that is my advise.

20 minutes to increase the security of a computer, wow that must be a good guide. The guys at itsecurity have written a security guide that indeed covers the basics of PC security. I do know from first hand experience that many users do not follow simple PC security guidelines, e.g. they probably have a anti-virus solution but never update it.
