My personal favorite Antivirus solution on Windows just got better. The Russian based Kaspersky Labs has just released the latest version of their Antivirus and Internet Security suite.

I’ve been a long time user of Kaspersky Internet Security and its the only antivirus solution that I recommend to all my friends. Kaspersky comes in two flavors one the stripped down version that has only the Antivirus and some other security features while the Internet Security package comes in with complete set of security features you’d ever need, which means you don’t need any other software to protect you online.

The most noticeable change in the new version has to be the UI. I just love the new UI. It is very intuitive and user friendly, and compared to the new design I feel that the old one was too cluttered and confusing, while it really wasn’t. Just how much a good design adds to a software!

Here are some screenshots of Kaspersky in action..

Follow this link to download Kaspersky. If you are already a Kaspersky I suggest you uninstall the previous version first since the new version brings about quite a bit of changes. Just make sure you save your licence key before you wipe off your old install.

And incase you aren’t already using Kaspersky, I suggest you give it a try. Trust me its one of the best security solutions you’ll find. If you like it, you can always purchase the licence key for only $39.95USD for Kaspersky Antivirus and $59.95 for Kaspersky Internet Security.

As an added bonus here’s a key that will you give you 6 months free trial courtesy Cyberhackz

Back in the days before OS X, the number of viruses which attacked Macintosh users totalled somewhere between about 60 and 80. Today, the number of viruses actively attacking OS X users is…NONE! However, this doesn’t mean Mac users should get complacent about checking incoming email attachments or web downloads, for two reasons. Firstly, there’s no guarantee that the Mac users will continue to enjoy the status quo, but more importantly, the majority of the computing world use machines running MS Windows, for which an enormous quantity of viruses exist, so we must be vigilant in checking the files we pass on to our friends and colleagues etc. For example, if you’re a wise person and you’ve turned MS Office’s macro support off then you’re not going to notice that virus which is hiding inside this month’s edition of Extreme Ironing.doc which your friend sent you. If you then forward that document to a less wise person who has not turned off the macro support, then you have most likely just sent him a shiny new Pandora’s Box with a sign saying “Open this end”!

Flippancy aside, I’m sure you get the idea: check the file before opening and/or sending it on to someone else. This gives you the opportunity to avoid the file altogether or at least copy and paste any vital information into a new document and send that instead. So install ClamXav today and have a more safer computing on your Mac.
