Review: Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2012

Software

October 11, 2011

This year a lot of top anti-viruses got a complete makeover and Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2012 is one of them. The new version of this software looks quite different from the 2011 version, as well as has some brand new features. So, let’s have a look at what Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2012 has to offer.

You should also read my vipre antivirus , Bitdefender antivirus and avast antivirus reviews to chose the best from among three.

Pros:

High ratings from independent security testing labs. New cloud-based detection. New File Advisor context menu feature to check out file reputation. Fixes faulty Windows and Internet Explorer settings. Removes traces of computer usage and browsing activity.

Cons:

Very heavy on system resources.

Review

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2012 has a lot of improvements over the previous version, Kaspersky 2011. One of them is flawless installation. As some of you might remember, Kaspersky 2011 had a bug that messed up the installation process if it detected any traces of previously installed security software. Thankfully, this issue got fixed in the 2012 edition.

Once installed, the product needs to be activated and updated before it’s ready to go. The initial database update is about 80MB, which doesn’t take all that long to download if you have a fast Internet connection.

How-to Remove Facebook Ticker Using Extensions

This is a guest post by DroidSid from ShoutMeLoud who writes about Technology. If you would like to write for TechGyo, Check our guest posting program.

If you’re a Facebook user and have been baffled and angered by the company making some major changes to the design and interface, then you’re no different from me. After the launch of Google +, Facebook has been experimenting and making a lot of new changes to their social networking website. Some of us, well most of us, did not like most of the changes that were made to Facebook, specially the new chat and the Ticker.

The Facebook Ticker, which is a real-time view of everything that your friends are doing is something of a stalker tool, if I must be honest. There are many ways that you can use to remove Facebook Ticker, however, the best way to go about doing this is to use certain extensions and add-ons. It doesn’t matter if you’re on Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Safari or Opera. Sorry, no support for IE, because nobody actually cares about it now. Here are some useful browser extensions that you can use:

Facebook News Ticker Remover

If you’re on Google Chrome, then the best option for you would be to use a Ticker specific extension called Facebook News Ticker Remover.

After installing this extension, reload your Facebook page and the Ticker will no longer be visible to you.

F.B purity

The above is one way of doing it, but there are more extensions that is compatible with almost all the browsers and it’s called the F.B Purity. This extension will not only remove Facebook Ticker, but also bring back the old chat that everybody loved, bring back the old News Reader and make your profile look all better and clean. The new Facebook Timeline profile, which will be rolled out to everyone is something different though, you wouldn’t want to remove that of course. That has been one of the most interesting and best changes that Facebook has ever got.

Better Facebook

You can also try the Better Facebook extension, which is available for both Chrome and Firefox. However, I prefer the F.B purity than Better Facebook, because it’s cleaner.

Tell us, which was the easiest and what extension did you like the best? Do you hate the Ticker or you don’t mind it being there, all the time!

Facebook promotion is done best with a personalized Fan page of your company or organization or website. A personalized fan page helps brand your business and also improves user interaction.

Is it any worth buying Facebook Fans?

Showing off a large number of fans or likes has become the new trend on the web as status symbol. This trend has given way to many Facebook marketing services.

But finding the right ones is a real problem. Because there are a number of services out there that will let you buy Twitter followers or Facebook Fans. But you should not try them if you aren’t clear how they get you the Fans.

I haven’t yet tried any service for buying Facebook fans as I was not sure if it’s worth shelling out some money. Until recently I stumbled through a site who claimed that they provide real Facebook fans in no time. How they work is by recommending our fan page on their network where they provide free content.

And at some point if you feel that the services was not upto what you were looking for, then you can always ask for 100% money back. So it’s a no risk deal. You have the power to decide and you won’t regret.

Speak to your Mac with Dragon Dictate 2.5: REVIEW

Speak to your Mac with Dragon Dictate 2.5: REVIEW

dragon dictate for mac 2.5

Dragon Dictate is a Speech recognition software specially for Macintosh by Nuance, the famous speech technology giant. With this software your can forget typing and start working with Speech Dictate with your speech. Now I know probably most of you have used many other speech recognition software and might not be satisfied with the accuracy they seems to be delivering for your speech. Dragon Dictate is famous for its accuracy and unlike other speech recognition softwares out there in the market this is a premier speech recognition solution just meant for Mac.

Lets talk more about its accuracy:

Just like I said, it’s astonishingly accurate, you just need to deliver the speech and wait to see the magic happen before you. More accurate and you get more productivity. But not everyone has a good speech, or at least, not the right accent. You need a bit of training to obtain the accurate result as you are look for. But let me add a point that no software is 100% accurate, it does make errors at some points, anything above 90% can be called as accurate. So it might also do that because sometimes your brain is confusing the terms and confusing the software. It works well enough even at moderate background noise and my microphone wasn’t that great too. Rest is up to you to try it and judge the accuracy.

Is it capable of commands?

Probably by now you already know that it can recognize the words you spell and fill the text in the doc, but you might want to know what else it can do apart from that. Apart from the above, it can even put your mighty mouse to a complete rest, because why to touch your mouse when you can actually do pretty much the main thing of selecting menus and options with a speech command. MacSpeech Dictate executes it for you. What’s more, MacSpeech Dictate understands key commands. With the XPress The Key’ and ‘Press The Key Combo’ commands, you can enter specific keys
and even keyboard modifiers like Command, Option, Shift, and Control. That makes you more productive and MacSpeech Dictate more intuitive.

Installation and Setup:

You might probably have installed a couple of software and know that some really suck at that part. But for Dragon dictate, this part isn’t a big, in-fact its extremely easy. The first step is to get the software onto your hard drive, followed by the vocabulary/grammar database. Once that is accomplished, you are almost ready to start talking to your computer.

Here we’re talking about Dragon Dictate for Mac, but they do have the similar products for Windows Os and even for mobiles which are on Android, iPhone, Blackberry.

New in Gragin Dictate version 2.5

Command and dictation support for Microsoft Word 2011 (seamlessly combine dictation with mouse and keyboard

Some Inspirational Sayings & Quotes By Steve Jobs

We are remembering Steve jobs, a man who will always live in our hearts, an inspiration for many around the world, people always remember Steve in his modest attire, a black turtleneck and blue jeans. May his soul rest in peace.

Some sayings by Steve Jobs

“Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do,” he told the Stanford grads in 2005.
“If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.”

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.”

“Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.”

“Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.”

“Design is not just what it looks like and feels like. Design is how it works.”

“.. almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.”

“Why join the navy if you can be a pirate?”

“Anyone can give up, it’s the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that’s true strength.”

“A real friend is one who walks in when the rest of the world walks out.”

“There are no failures – just experiences and your reactions to them.”

“Courage is the discovery that you may not win, and trying when you know you can lose.”

“If you only do what you know you can do- you never do very much.”

“I’ve learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the back.”

“I’ve learned that making a “living” is not the same thing as making a “life.”

“Courage doesn’t always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying, “I will try again tomorrow.”

BREAKING: The Industrial Icon, The Legend Steve Jobs Passed away 1955 -2011

Steve Jobs the co-founder of Apple and the former CEO Passed away at the age of 56 due to cancer. He had battled cancer for years, took a medical leave from Apple in January this year(2011) and stepped down as chief executive in August because he could “no longer meet (his) duties and expectations.” In 2004, he announced to his employees that he was being treated for pancreatic cancer. He lost weight and appeared unusually gaunt at keynote speeches to Apple developers, spurring concerns about his health and fluctuations in the company’s stock price.

He co-founded Apple at the age of 21. In August this year (2011), Steve Jobs stepped down from his position as CEO of Apple, where in his resignation letter he wrote the following:

“I believe Apple’s brightest and most innovative days are ahead of it. And I look forward to watching and contributing to its success in a new role.
“I have made some of the best friends of my life at Apple, and I thank you all for the many years of being able to work alongside you.”

“Steve Jobs is one of the great innovators in the history of modern capitalism,” New York Times columnist Joe Nocera said in August. “His intuition has been phenomenal over the years.”

Twitter and Facebook has been flooded with this news and hash-tag #RIPSteveJobs is now the trending topic on Twitter.
