Avast 6.0 Review

What's up guys? The long awaited Avast 6.0 is out! Yes, I'm not kidding. It's out. And along with this new antivirus, there were a couple of features that the Free version inherited from the Pro version(paid version).

Interface
Avast 5.0 had the best interface and so did Avast 6.0. There are some tweaks here and there for the new features. But, any Avast 5.0 user will easily be able to access it. I'm actually happy that Avast did this because their previous version, 4.8 had a very, very bad interface. Everything didn't make sense.

Virus definitions?
No changes here, Avast didn't report anything about a new virus engine.

Chaos Faction 2 review

I always loved flash games since I was 9. This particular flash game, got me addicted to it. Some of you might've played it before, some of you might not. Anyway, if you've not, try it out. It's called Chaos Faction, and there's a second version of it. More characters and improved weapons? Hell yeah.

Check out the gameplay:

Cyber Clean Review

Remember those days where your phone gets all the dust in the speakers or the mic? Or the time where your computer's keyboard is filled with dirt and dust and you had a hard time cleaning them? And yes, if you have a lot of gadgets, you'll feel frustrated. That's when I saw this product called Cyber Clean. It's basically a sticky piece of gel that squeezes through almost anything getting rid of dirt and dust in tight places. At less than $9.00, its a good purchase.

The container looks something like this

Google Chrome

Google Chrome IS the best browser, there's no need to argue about how fast it can render pages easily. I've used some all the browsers that are out there. I've tried Internet Explorer(IE), Safari, Mozilla Firefox and Opera too. See my comparison here. Before Chrome was launched which was around September 2008, I used Firefox and Opera. Firefox was like, THE BEST BROWSER, EVER until Chrome was launched. And ever since, more and more users have been upgrading to Chrome. Of course, everybody has their own personal tastes. Some prefer PCs and some prefer Macs. If you're the type that doesn't really care about the amount of 'fame' each browser gets, go for Chrome.

MapleStory

Ever wondered why MapleStory is such a good game, and still has so many players ALL AROUND THE WORLD? If I'm not mistaken, they were the first to create this MMORPG(Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game) format game formed by Wizet - a Korean company. It's 2D, but don't underestimate its addictiveness. Once you start playing, you won't stop because they've made it so addictive, you won't even think of quitting it. Maple Story's latest version, V1.2, adding a few features that increases its addictiveness.

Download Managers

Downloading stuff is a must-do thing. I download so much stuff my 300GB's almost full. But I don't download them via my browser's download manager. If you use Chrome, you know its download manager is crap. You can only see about 5 downloads and that's the max it can show. Mozilla's is better, because it doesn't have a limit of showing your downloads but it opens a new window unlike Chrome. So far, the best two best download manager I used so far is Free Download Manager and FlashGet. If you're using Chrome, forget Flashget and go for Free Download Manager. Flashget doesn't support Chrome but FDM(Free Download Manager) does.

Avast 5.0 Review

Viruses are getting smarter and smarter pretty damn smart day by day. And of course, you wouldn't want an infected work or home computer. Antivirus brands are getting more advanced with their heuristic engine and it does it work by detecting the virus if it changes settings to your computer without you knowing it. Brands like Avast, Avira, Kaspersky and Norton are very known for what they specialize in - antivirus softwares. Most of these antivirus softwares are paid like Kaspersky and Norton and they only have free trials of 30 days. Avira and Avast DO have free antivirus but they also have paid/Pro versions that have 'extra' features - the most featured feature is antispam that monitors your email. I use Avast mainly because its much faster, the GUI(Graphics User Interface) is much more intuitive and it has more shields eg. Mail, Web, P2P, IM, Network and Behavior Shields that provides MORE protection.
