Best Antivirus Software of 2012

With 2012 around the corner, we want to upgrade our antivirus software to the latest and greatest. The antivirus software below will prevent computer viruses from attacking and infecting your computer.

Avira Antivirus Premium

Avira provides not only protection but also performance with a tendency for over-protection due to the Advanced Heuristics Analysis Detection system.The price is reasonably low at $29.99 and it has an easy, straightforwardinstallation.

Trend Micro Titanium Antivirus 2012

Thus far, Trend Micro Titanium has made a great name for itself and we predict that it will sustain this reputation come 2012. This new line of security software uses cloud technology to bring real-time updates to your screen. Trend’s speed is definitely its greatest asset.

AVG Antivirus 2012

AVG is a great antivirus option, and its 2012 line has made improvements on its social network protection, in particular. The updates are automatic and continual, and it boasts some epic LinkScanner technology. However, the speed is slower than software like Trend.


Freebies:

AVG Antivirus Free 2012

With an impressive malware cleanup, this free software is a great option for those who need both cleanup and malware blocking. If you like this software, you can always move on up to the AVG Antivirus 2012 for $39.99.

Panda Antivirus 1.5 Free Edition

Panda, like Trend, uses cloud technology to make this software light on your PC. With speed and reliability, Panda has impressed many critics recently. While it doesn’t have “2012” in the title, the latest product runs with the best 2012 products. It has continually ranked the highest in malware removal, but sometimes has an incomplete cleanup. You can download the free edition of Panda Cloud Antivirus and give it a shot if you’re skeptical. The Panda Antivirus Pro 2012 goes for about $49.99/year.

You’ll see the program name under it and will be in awe at  how out of place the newly added icons are with the rest   of the Windows 8 theme. We’ve found a handy program to spruce things up by  creating awesome-looking tiles that match the look of Windows 8 apps  on the Start Menu, something like what you see below. And you can get that look using   OblyTile . First thing’s first, the icons you see above are works from users of deviantART. OblyTile only sets up your tiles; you have to provide the icons or images for the tile.

How To Speed Up Internet Speed A slow Internet connection can be very annoying when you are trying to do something on the Internet. Here are some steps you can take to fix or improve your connection. Steps   1 Identify what speed you are supposed to be provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) . This is important, because your slow connection could be due to a problem on their end, not yours. This should be on your bill. If you don't have a bill handy, you can check the ISP's website or contact them directly to find out. 2 Conduct a  speed test  online . This should get you results close to what your ISP is supposed to provide. If you get a low result, try another computer on your network first. If both get a low result, contact your ISP.
