Firefox 3.6 and Avast V5 – Updates

Just a heads up really, Firefox finally gets updated to version 3.6, adds Personas (Themes) and many speed improvements. Another one updated of late is is Avast - this is now at version 5, includes new voices and such. Seems the Auto Update fails to grab this new version so you are going to need to download and upgrade.

SunBelt Vipre Antivirus + Antispyware

Recently while on FrugalBruce Ustream channel, he was doing a giveaway of Sunbelt AntiVirus Software, not a company or a product I had heard of and by sheer luck, I managed to Win the 10 User licence version. The original competition was for the server version but as I am a home user with no Server, I was sent the 10 user version of the desktop product instead. Bruce does many software giveaways and is on hand for decent business advice – so feel free to check him out live if you get the chance, he does a show Monday to Friday 1pm-3pm EST (USA).
