If you still remember, we talked about AVG free antivirus software not too long ago; which is a very useful and free software to have on your computer to help you against antivirus threats. The other free antivirus software that I like is Avast.

These two are free antivirus software, but if you are willing to pay then I would usually suggest McAfee and Norton antivirus; which are two popular software in Malaysia. However, popular they are, but they may not be the best antivirus…

Virus.gr did some detailed tests some time ago on many of the widely used antivirus software to see how they stack up against each other. And the result is here:

1. Kaspersky version 6.0.0.303 - 99.62%
2. Active Virus Shield by AOL version 6.0.0.299 - 99.62%
3. F-Secure 2006 version 6.12.90 - 96.86%
4. BitDefender Professional version 9 - 96.63%
5. CyberScrub version 1.0 - 95.98%
6. eScan version 8.0.671.1 - 95.82%
7. BitDefender freeware version 8.0.202 - 95.57%
8. BullGuard version 6.1 - 95.57%
9. AntiVir Premium version 7.01.01.02 - 95.45%
10. Nod32 version 2.51.30 - 95.14%

Apple first introduced the Apple TV last year when it was originally known under the code name “iTV”. Back then, very little information is available about the device except that it was Apple’s first foray into the home living room space.

But guess what, now this awesome looking television Apple TV is in Malaysia! I am not sure if this is available at other gadget stores, such as those at Low Yat, but at least CG Computers is retailing it at RM1,299.

Google is undeniably one of the most visited website in the world, and one of the most used search engine. Admit it, everyday you and I go to Google for countless number of times. I even believe that the world would be in a big chaos if Google went down for just a day!

But, I am sure not many of you have noticed the tiny Preferences link just beside the search box. Trust me, this is a very useful page to let power users to customize how Google searches for you or present results to you.

Interface Language
Try changing this to Greek and see if you can still recognize the lovely Google or not.

Search Language
This is useful if you wanted to search webpages or information written in a particular language. Try Chinese (Simplified) for example if you only want webpages in that language.

SafeSearch Filtering
This is an interesting setting and I believe most of you humsup fellas would definitely want to leave this at “Do not filter my search results”. I know you don’t want to filter out any nice photos, right? Haha… me too, we are in the same gang!

I have Moderate SafeSearch on, and I searched for “girl” Google images. Guess what, the second search result is a picture of a sexy girl in bikini with the title “Seductive Bikini Girl”…. from liewcf.com!
