| 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.

AVG 7.5 Anti-Virus, it finds more viruses on a system than Norton Antivirus plus it's FREE. Another program is by Sygate; Personal Firewall, it blocks spyware and other mailware that gets into computers. One last recommendation is always set your internet to alert you of the cookies that are stored on your computer, a cookie is a small file that tells your internet browser the pages you visited. With AVG, Sygate they will warn you even if a webpage has a worm hidden inside its pages, which CAN happen. Play it safe with the internet, some protection is better than no protection.- Robert M Tarr, Manchester .

But my attention is gradually turning to the tech world, with the massive CES in Las Vegas on the horizon. While CES is known as the consumer electronics show, it increasingly has application in the business world as personal and professional lives are fused with technology. Following are the some of the final ZDNet headlines for 2007.
