| AVG Anti-Virus Free 7.5.516a1225
The word 'free' often equates to an inferior product but, in this case, there is no doubt that this is a professional product. Split into three sections and a Control Centre, AVG Anti-virus protects against viruses in a number of key areas. The Resident Shield works in the background and checks all files and file types (including floppy disk, CD content etc.) for viruses, whilst the Email Scanner works with Microsoft Exchange and Outlook. The Boot-up Scanner operates at start-up, and checks the most important areas of a PC before you begin to use it. Every aspect of AVG's virus protection can be configured using the Control Centre, which allows you to modify a number of program settings and to schedule scans, among other things. When installing there's an option to create a rescue disk for use should any of your key system files become infected.

Calling for Yahoo to get bold
Mitra and many others in Silicon Valley are rooting for Yahoo to roar back and capitalize on its status as the Web's most popular destination, if for no other reason than to keep Google in check. But, she said, she's not optimistic. "Yahoo has a great opportunity still because it has tremendous traffic and a tremendous brand," said Mitra, who posted her analysis on the popular technology blog GigaOM. "But it can't figure out what it wants to be when it grows up." A clear vision that plays to the Sunnyvale, Calif.-based company's fundamental strengths is what investors want from co-founder Jerry Yang, who replaced Terry Semel as chief executive over the summer. But instead of defining a bold road map, Yang offered broad strokes: Yahoo would aim to become the starting point for Internet users and a must buy for advertisers.
