Out of the various antivirus softwares available for your PC, Kaspersky can be the most effective antivirus and can protect your PC from all kinds of threats. Although there are hundreds of antivirus reviews out there on the internet and there, you may find some reviews saying that some other antivirus is better than Kaspersky. But as far as I know, Kaspersky is the best antivirus. The major reason that Kaspersky might not be rated the top antivirus is because in those reviews they consider price, easy to use, etc. and many other factors which in some keeps Kaspersky a little lower in the chart. But what matters the most is “how secure your computer is to virus and spyware attacks?” and this is where Kaspersky beats all of the other antivirus softwares.

I have tested many antivirus softwares like Norton, Antivir, Avast, Symantec, McAfee, etc. but none of them has ever given my PC so much protection like Kaspersky does. In a computer network like ours where there are hundreds of virus filled computers connected in it, I’ve found the real taste of a good antivirus. No matter how many virus attacks come from the Local network when you try to read someone’s shared file or folder, Kaspersky protects my PC from any kind of threat. The fact is that Kaspersky is not just an antivirus which detects virus based on virus definitions; it also warns you of suspicious programs which can be a virus or spyware even though there’s no definition for it. Its protection systems including the three main features – Application Integrity Control, Registry guard and Application Activity Analyzer keep your PC in complete protection from viruses and spywares.

Now, let’s have a look at how these protection systems protect your PC from viruses:

• Application Integrity Control: This is a protection system which acts like a guard to ensure that a process doesn’t alter other processes or files out of its jurisdiction. It detects any process which tries to alter another process or load an unknown module and asks for confirmation from the user. And the process is paused until the user confirms to allow it. This is how Kaspersky can detect or protect from any unknown virus whose definitions are not yet in its database. However, this can be a big threat if the user doesn’t know about the nature of the process and allow it to continue thereby making the virus free to exploit the system.
• Registry Guard: As I’ve seen in many of the virus infected computers in my hostel, the major attacks of computer viruses are targeted to the windows registry. You might have seen the “folder options” gone from your explorer’s ‘tools’ menu or your Task Manager and Regedit disabled by some viruses. All of these are because of changes in the registry made by the virus. Now, Kaspersky antivirus has the registry guard which detects any change in the registry and blocks it until confirmation by the user. In this respect also, the user must be careful enough to block registry changes made by unknown processes and allow changes made by system processes and trusted programs.
• Application Activity Analyzer: This is also a feature which is helpful in detecting dangerous threats which can be viruses or other dangerous programs. It detects the threat based of the process’s algorithm and activity. If the process/program’s algorithm contains segments of codes which are dangerous or virus like or activities which can harm the system, it blocks the process and mark it as a possible threat.

Besides these three features Kaspersky’s reputation is also a contribution of its fully customizable option. You can turn off the virus alert sound, store updates in your drive, update from a local source, and many more. But while using its fully customizable option, you should be careful enough and make sure you know what you are doing.
In fact, Kaspersky is not a great antivirus for those who don’t know how to use it – it can even lead to problems but to those who know, it is the best antivirus you can get at the moment and maybe in the coming years too.

It’s been days since I last met my friend Jordan and I thought I’d send him some ecards. So, yesterday, I was searching Google for some ecards and found some interesting things about ecards. I was kind of searching some funny ecards and I found what I searched for. This site for Funny ecards has the most exciting collection of ecards that you can choose for sending to your friends and colleagues. The ecards are funnier because some of them even have real videos and can be quite an adrenaline pumping when it comes to excitement. Besides, it has many other jokes and ecards that you might want to check out like the naughty ecards. The Naughty eCards are in fact wonderful pieces for flirting with your partners and friends. They are funny and both naughty and can be quite an interesting piece if you want to flirt with someone.

And if your friend is a close one and you are frank with each other, you can even try their Adult e Cards which is funnier and more exciting than the previous ones. Although these ecards are most adult jokes, they are not x- rated and that’s why you can send it to a friend without much problem. They don’t have offensive scenes but just jokes which simplifies naughtiness. It can also be a very good one for your partner too.

It was in one of my site’s adsense ads that I saw about it first. In.com - the shortest email id you can get. In.com is like yahoo although it is for Indians particularly. The site is a very fast loading one which took only 32ms when I first tested it with ping. With this new mail provider, you will be able to have email ids of your choice (only if you rush now) with very small length as possible. Imagine how short your email id would be if it is like yourname@in.com. Well, there are many things I like about this site:
Firstly, Your email Id will be very short. As the domain name is short (in.com) your email can be a very short one. You can try yourname@in.com. Imagine how easy it would be to type your email. You won’t have to type lengthy ids anymore. This would make your internet experience comfortable and faster.

The 2nd thing is that In.com loads quite fast – Very faster than sites of its kind. Well, today I ran a ping test and the result shows that the servers are quite good and fast at the moment. Let’s see some of the results of the tests I made from Bhopal.

Ping Test result of In.com
IP Address: 123.108.40.13
Round Trip Time (RTT): Min: 66ms Max: 100ms Average: 82ms
TTL: 248

Ping Test result of google.com
IP Address: 209.85.153.104
Round Trip Time (RTT): Min: 115ms Max: 117ms Average: 116ms

Ping Test result of gmail.com
IP Address: 209.85.153.83
Round Trip Time (RTT): Min: 107ms Max: 116ms Average: 111ms

Ping Test result of yahoo.com
IP Address: 87.248.113.14
Round Trip Time (RTT): Min: 233ms Max: 236ms Average: 235ms

Well, the server speed is quite good and loads fast especially for Indians as the server is in India itself. So, if you are an Indian, you should get an id for yourself because In.com is the best for Indians – Even faster than Gmail .
