March 2009. Reports say AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition is the best free antivirus program available, and it’s clearly popular with users as well. Reviews of the paid version, AVG Anti-Virus (*est. $35), place it behind Norton AntiVirus 2009 (*est. $20) and ESET NOD32 Antivirus 4 (*est. $35), among others, and it is safe to assume that the free version will also fall short of those top two contenders. AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition and other free programs offer much less user control than commercial programs, but users swear they work. If you’re diligent about your personal security practices, free antivirus software might be enough for your needs. Version 8.5 is newly released; the major change is that it includes LinkScanner Active Surf-Shield, which provides real-time protection against malicious web pages.

March 2009. Symantec has made some significant design changes with Norton AntiVirus 2009, and reviewers say there’s a noticeable improvement in speed and footprint. This year’s user reviews contain fewer complaints about resource drain and software incompatibility, although some owners report clashes with Windows XP. Most reviewers say Norton has a simple and intuitive interface, and it does well in lab tests for virus detection. ESET NOD32 4.0 (*est. $35) does slightly better overall with reviewers and earns much higher user ratings, but some say the improved interface is still too complex for beginners. Security experts recommend anti-spyware and firewall programs in addition to virus detection software. One option is to get an all-inclusive suite like Norton Internet Security 2009 (*est. $45).

We found a good review of Norton AntiVirus 2009 at CNet.com. Robert Vamosi weighs in on features, performance and ease of use. CNet has some user reviews following the main article, but we found more substantial coverage from owners at Amazon.com. Geek.com and TopTenReviews.com also provide some information.

‘Windows Service’ is a program designed to perform specific service which is started automatically when Windows boots and runs as long as System is up and running. Services normally run with ‘System’ privilege thus enabling them to execute higher privilege operations which otherwise cannot be performed by normal processes.

Due to these advantages, often malware applications use services to monitor and control the target system. In this direction, AdvancedWinServiceManager makes it easy to eliminate such malicious services by separating out third party services from Windows services. By default it shows only third party services along with more details such as Company Name, Description, Install Date, File Path etc at one place which helps in quickly differentiating between legitimate and malicious services.

It comes with rich features such as detecting hidden rootkit services, exporting the service list to html based log file, displaying only third party services etc. All these one-of-a-kind features are the ones that make it stand apart from the ‘Windows Service Management Console.’
