*** Antivirus Kernel
New version of avast! antivirus kernel features outstanding detection abilities, together with high performance. You can expect 100% detection of In-the-Wild viruses (the ones what are really spreading amongst people) and very good detection of Trojan horses, all that with only a minimum number of false alarms.
The kernel was certified by ICSA; it frequently takes part in the tests of Virus Bulletin magazine, often yielding the VB100 award.
*** Simple User Interface
Simple User Interface is used to start on-demand scanning, work with the results, change various options etc. Basic resident protection settings can be modified here. Simple User Interface is the main application of avast! 4 Home Edition. You can start additional avast! modules from here, such as the Virus Chest, Updater or Log Viewer.
*** Enhanced User Interface
Unlike the Simple User Interface, the scanning is performed by so called "tasks". First, you define a task, including various parameters - areas to scan, what to scan, how to scan, etc. Having the task, you can (possibly repeatedly) run it. Each task generates a list of results; you can work with them later.
*** Resident protection
Resident protection, i.e. the real-time protection of the computer, is one of the most important parts of an antivirus program today. avast! features a powerful resident module that is able to detect the virus before it has any chance to infect your computer.
E-mail protection consists of two independent modules; first, there is a generic scanner working on the SMTP/POP3/IMAP4 protocol level. It is capable of protecting any existing e-mail client that uses these protocols. Second, there is a special plug-in for MS Outlook only; it is completely transparent, requiring no special settings.
New feature of version 4 is heuristic analysis of e-mail scanners. It is extremely useful in protecting against new, unknown viruses and worms that are not possible to detect by the usual means. The heuristic module performs a thorough investigation of every e-mail message and watches for suspicious signs that might announce virus presence. When the number of those signs exceeds the user-defined level, the message is considered dangerous and the user is warned.
*** Script Blocker
The resident protection of the Professional Edition includes an additional module, not contained in the Home Edition - Script Blocker. This module watches all the scripts being executed in the operating system (so called WSH scripts - Windows Scripting Host). It also scans all the scripts run as a part of a web page within your web browser (Internet Explorer, Netscape Navigator and Mozilla).
*** Automatic updates
Automatic updates are another key point in virus protection. Both the virus database and the program itself can be updated automatically.
*** PUSH updates
A special feature of the Professional Edition are PUSH updates. It is a dramatic change in the philosophy of updates. Usually, every installed program checks every now and then whether a new version is available. PUSH updates, however, are initialized by our server; they result in your computer quickly responding and performing the necessary update. The system is based on the SMTP protocol, i.e. on usual e-mail messages. The updates itself are controlled by the avast! resident e-mail providers (MS Outlook and Internet Mail).
*** Virus Chest
The main properties of the Virus Chest are complete isolation from the rest of the operating system (no outside process, i.e. no virus either, may access the files inside) and the fact that the files inside the Chest may not be run (i.e. there is no danger in storing viruses there).
*** System integration
avast! antivirus features outstanding integration into your system. The scanning can be started directly from Windows Explorer, by clicking a folder or a file with your right mouse button and selecting the corresponding choice from the menu.
Another interesting feature is a special screen-saver that performs scanning for viruses during its run-time. avast! antivirus works together with your favorite screen-saver, so you don't have to change to anything you wouldn't like.
Another new option is the boot-time scan (Windows NT/2000/XP/.NET only). It is important in the case that a virus is suspected to be active on your computer. The boot-time scan is performed before the virus may get activated, so the virus cannot influence the scanning in any way.
*** Command-line scanner
Experienced users may like another Professional Edition feature - command-line scanner. The scanning can be controlled by many arguments and switches; to use as a pipe filter, a special STDIN/STDOUT mode is available.
The module is intended to be used in BATCH programs. Its output is the same as the output from the Enhanced User Interface tasks (including the report files).

Microsoft to release three security updates Tuesday
Microsoft said Thursday it will release three security updates on this coming Patch Tuesday, including one that is rated "critical" and could allow an attacker to take over the computer.
The critical update affects Windows 2000, XP, Vista and Server 2003 and 2008, the company said in an advisory.
The other two updates are rated "important" and could be used for spoofing, in which an attacker is able to masquerade as someone else. One of the patches affects all supported versions of Windows and the second affects Windows 2000, Server 2003, and Server 2008.
Missing from the security updates is a fix for a security vulnerability in Excel, for which there have been Zero-Day exploits.

Boosting your computer sky high!
Boosting your computer sky high!
Okay, in this part, I will try to explain what's the main problem if your computer is slow and has even slower performance. Most people don't check their computer once a week or month for possible spyware and viruses. But if you do, read further.
1. Try RAM Booster.
2. Boost your registry.
3. Yet another registry doctor.
4. Defrag your computer with free and ubercool Defraggler.
5. It was about time to delete your crap with CCleaner
6. Burn your movies on CDs / DVDs and delete it from your computer.
7. Delete unnecessary stuff.
That's about it. I hope you liked it!

Spyware Infections: A Step-by-Step Instructions Removal Guide
Spyware Infections: A Step-by-Step Instructions Removal Guide
Read more about Spyware, Adware and Malware in Wikipedia. We'll focus mainly on the removal guide. So, here we go.
1. The first step you need to do is to try determining when your computer became infected. Was your computer infected after you installed some software? Did you visit adult websites with porn content, that are infected with trojans or backdoors? Did your kids played with your computer and visited unknown sites with games? If you don't know what may caused computer infection, try to view history in your browser. Write down suspicious websites and then post it in this topic. "Infections" may be bundled with software, so before installing new software always visit Softpedia and view the ratings. You will notice if there are any red marks or warnings.
2. Second, you need to install or run some software, that scans for infections. Download SpyBot S&D. When you successfully installed SpyBot, update your detection rules by clicking Search for Updates. Scan your computer and delete any spyware / adware entry.
3. Download and run AdAware. Check for updates. Scan and remove possible adware entries.
4. Download a small but useful tool called HijackThis. BE CAREFUL with this program. Save and upload your scan log to HijackThis.de. Destroy possible bad entries.
5. It's time to run up AntiMalware program. Download and run Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware and kill the infections.
6. Scan your computer with AntiVirus! (I prefer NOD32. This process may take a few hours, if you have a lot of files on your disk. Go watch TV or something).
7. Well, I just can't remove spyware / malware on my computer. What shall I do? This may sound noobish and cheap, but you can copy and paste the malware's name into Google. Click Search. I'm sure that you will locate loads of removal guides out there.
8. It's still not enough to scan just with antispyware programs. You have to scan your computer with some AntiVirus software. Check out NOD32 or Kaspersky antivirus
HOW TO AVOID INFECTIONS: Don't visit many porn sites or porn galleries. Don't download cracks or other similiar tools, if you're not sure, if they contain malware. Scan them with AntiVirus software before you use them. Don't click on Ads and don't visit URLs, that you have in your email folder. Scan your computer at least once a month and update protections / scanning software. Avoid *.BAT files. Download releases only from trusted sources! If you can, don't use key generators or cracks. Try to use serials instead in plain text files or in NFOs.
A Trick To Check Your Antivirus Is Working Properly
Open notepad
Copy this code in the text file....
"X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*"

then save it with the name fanything.exe
If this file got deleted immediately..that means ur antivirus is working n updated..

*The test was made on 23 April-10 May 2008, using Windows XP Professional SP2 on a P4 3000 Mhz, 1024MB DDRAM.
* All programs tested had the latest versions, upgrades and updates and they were tested using their full scanning capabilities e.g. heuristics, full scan etc.
*The default settings of each program were not used, in order for each program to achieve its maximum detection rate. Because of this, there is a possibility for the tested programs to detect a few false positives.
*All programs were updated on 22 April 2008, between 10.00AM and 13.00PM GMT.
*The 174770 virus samples were chosen using VS2000 according to Kaspersky, F-Prot, Nod32, Dr.Web, BitDefender and McAfee antivirus programs. Each virus sample was unique by virus name, meaning that AT LEAST 1 antivirus program detected it as a new virus.
*ALL virus samples were unpacked and the only samples that were kept were the ones that were packed using external-dos-packers (that means not winzip, winrar, winace etc).
*The virus samples had the correct file extension using a special program (Renexts) and were unique, according to checksum32 filesize.
*Most "fake" virus samples were removed, as well as "garbage" files.
*The programs MKS_VIR , PER and IPArmor were not tested because there was no english demo version available.
*The programs Anti-Hacker Expert , Command , Extendia AVK , GDATA AVK , BOClean , UNA , VET and Freedom were not tested because there was no demo version available.
*Thorough mode was not used in VBA32 due to extremely slow scan process.
*A-Squared Anti-Malware and eTrust PestPatrol are anti-trojan/anti-spyware programs, not antivirus programs
*F-Prot was tested using its command line scanner (options /adware /applications /report /streams /maxdepth=4 /heurlevel=4) because its GUI kept crashing.
*Windows Live OneCare, BKAV, PC Tools kept crashing while scanning the samples.
*TheShield uses the exact same engine as VirobotExpert.
*Avira uses the exact same engine as AntiVir.
*Fire uses the exact same engine as Solo.
*MKS_VIR uses the exact same engine as ArcaVir.
*VirusBuster uses the exact same engine as Vexira.
*BullGuard uses the exact same engine as BitDefender free edition.
*Avast Professional uses the exact same engine as Avast free edition.
*AVG Anti-Malware uses the exact same engine as AVG Antivirus free edition plus the Ewido scan engine, so it has better detection than AVG Antivirus free edition.
*A-squared Anti-Malware Professional uses the exact same engine as A-squared free edition.
* InVircible did not include a "typical" scanner-function and could not be tested.
*V-Catch checks only mail accounts and could not be tested.
*DOS-Based scanners were not tested.
*The following file types were used: SH, ELF, COM, EXE, PL, BAT, PRC, DOC, XLS, BIN, MDB, IMG, PPT, VBS, MSG, VBA, OLE, HTM, INI, SMM, TD0, REG, CLASS, HTA, JS, VI_, URL, PHP, WMF, HLP, XML, SCR, PIF, SHS, WBT, CSC, MAC, DAT, CLS, STI, INF, HQX, XMI, SIT.
USB Disk Security
USB Disk Security provides 100% protection against any malicious programs trying to attack via USB drive. Compare USB Disk Security against other antivirus solutions, you will find out its highlights: USB Disk Security provides 100% protection against any threats via USB drive, however, the majority of other products are unable even to guarantee 90% protection.
