Best 5 antivirus software for Windows 8 operating system

By Unknown   Posted at  5:17 AM   Windows No comments
This is a little bit of a problem, albeit an anticipated problem, as Windows 8 is the first Windows operating system to have an antivirus program already installed in it. When Microsoft first announced that they were doing it they caused quite a stir in the software development world, as they are going to put a lot of antivirus companies out of business (which means less spam mail).

In fact, most of the antivirus companies have used third party PR companies to launch a hate campaign against the Windows preinstalled antivirus program. They have even put videos on YouTube showing people how to uninstall it. The choice as to whether you keep your Windows preinstalled antivirus is up to you. If you fancy trying another antivirus program, then here are five good ones you can try.

1 - Avira Antivirus Premium 2013

This is a piece of software that has done very well with Windows 7, and shows similar potential with its 2013 version for Windows 8. It has enhanced security functions for modern online threats, and has a proactive AHEAD, which means Advanced Heuristic Analysis and Detection. This means it is good at detecting heuristic threats before they become too much of a problem.

It removes malware, viruses, Trojans, worms, and spyware. It has a bootable repair disc and ant phishing technology. It also has a gamer mode, and is quite reasonably priced. It has a few innovations that help you to deal with modern threats, mostly from the Internet, as it is not as good at detecting local threats.

2 - Norton Antivirus 2013

This is a fairly big company at the moment that has a very aggressive marketing strategy. This allows them to make more money so that they can invest more in perfecting their antivirus technology. As you can imagine, they have quite a lot of software solutions for online threats and offer a great deal of protection. They have parental controls, and a host of functions that allows you to protect your computer both online and offline.

It has a gamer mode, anti-phishing function, a bootable recovery CD and an auto detect function for USB flash drive attacks. It is a very well used program that takes a lot of its virus information from the computers that it monitors, so the more people that use it then the better the virus protection.

3 - F-Secure Antivirus 2013

Possibly one of the less advanced programs, but still being rolled out for Windows 8. However, its lack of sophistication does not make it a bad program. Many tests have shown that it works very well in finding and eliminating viruses. However, it does have a lot of functions missing, such as how it has no anti-phishing, no gamer mode, no auto-USB detect. It does have a bootable rescue could, but is not an all round antivirus package. It has been developed to stop virus coming from the Internet, and it does it very well. They may build more functions into it if it becomes more popular, but at the moment the Windows 8 version is just a very good virus protector.

4 - AVG Anti-Virus 2013 Review for Windows

This is one of the ones that you have most likely heard of already. It has a free version and a paid version, and as you may expect, the paid version is a lot better. It has been tested and shows that it is quite good at catching and eliminating viruses. It has different security products, meaning that it is not an online only program. It has anti-phishing functions, gamer mode, auto USB detection and a bootable recovery CD.

No antivirus technology is perfect, so it cannot catch all threats, but it has a good stab at stopping most. Its free version is a little bit unfair, since it does not offer half as much protection as the paid version. AVG is quite popular and well known, so it will not disappear any time soon.

5 - BitDefender Antivirus Plus 2013

This is one of those programs that seems to have a lot of hype surrounding it, and yet does not appear to be any better or worse than the rest of them. Credit should be given for its protection and repair facilities, and it is fairly easy to use (although all the programs on this list are). It has anti-phishing, auto USB detection, gamer modes and a bootable rescue CD. It has been tested and reviewed quite a lot, but it is now getting hard to see which reviews are real and which are just creations of a zealous marketing department.

BEST COMAPRISON:Samsung Ativ Q vs. Microsoft Surface Pro

By Unknown   Posted at  11:42 PM   Windows No comments
Gizmag compares the specs (and other features) of the Samsung Ativ Q and Microsoft Surface...


Say what you will about Microsoft, but you can't accuse the company of not having a plan. Windows 8 is a loud-and-clear statement about the future of the PC: it's touch-oriented, it's mobile, and it's convergent. The jury is still out on whether customers will wholeheartedly buy into that vision, but several recent devices at least give us more tangible examples of what that kind of future looks like. Let's compare two of the prime examples: Samsung's upcoming Ativ Q and Microsoft's own Surface Pro.
Both devices have some kind of keyboard functionality
We have a pretty clear picture of the kinds of flagship devices Microsoft envisions for Windows 8. They have the guts of Ultrabooks, there's some kind of touchscreen or tablet functionality, and they also offer some kind of physical keyboard.
Both of these devices fit the bill, though in very different ways. The Ativ Q is a convertible, with a touchscreen that folds and flips, to be used in several different configurations. Its built-in keyboard is spacious, and can feature prominently or fold back into a tablet, depending on your needs.
The Surface Pro, when taken alone, is a tablet. A powerful Intel Core-powered tablet, but a tablet nonetheless. But Microsoft's snap-on keyboard accessories, sold separately, let you easily turn it into a faux-laptop by folding out the Touch Cover or Type Cover.
One potential advantage for Surface is the Touch and Type Covers' built-in trackpads. Are they the best trackpads you'll ever use? No way. But they're still a step (or seven) up from the tiny navigation nub that the Ativ Q's keyboard gives you.
And of course, on both devices, you can also choose to forget mouse functionality altogether and use the touchscreen instead.

Size

The Ativ Q is much larger than the Surface Pro
The Ativ Q makes for a huge tablet, with a 13.3-inch display (more on that in a minute). Looking at surface area, the Ativ Q is a full 47 percent larger than the Surface Pro. That's a huge difference in your hand or your bag, and one of the biggest things you'll want to consider when deciding between these two.
Samsung did, however, manage to make the Ativ Q about as slim as possible. It's only three percent thicker than Surface Pro, despite having a built-in keyboard.

Build

We're betting that the Surface will win in the highly-subjective 'premium build' war
Samsung loves plastic, and the Ativ Q is no exception. Microsoft, meanwhile, used its own custom alloy, dubbed VaporMg, for the Surface.
Surface Pro has a built-in kickstand, to help you prop it up on a table or (more awkwardly) on your lap. The Ativ Q's keyboard doubles as a base for its hinged touchscreen.

Weight

Considering its enormous size, the Ativ Q is pretty light
Considering its size and built-in keyboard, the Ativ Q is ridiculously light. It's only 12 percent heavier than the Surface/Type Cover combo, despite being much bigger.

Display

Its display is much larger too ... and much sharper
The Ativ's 13.3-inch display is a great size for a laptop, but, as we mentioned, it makes for an enormous tablet. In this case, is that extra space better, or just overkill? We can't answer that for you (at least not until we get some extended hands-on time), but we can tell you that the Surface Pro only gives you 64 percent as much screen area as the Ativ Q does.
The Ativ has insane resolution: 3200 x 1800, packing 275 pixels per inch (PPI). That's 178 percent more pixels than the Surface Pro's smaller 1080p display. Hell, it's even 41 percent more pixels than the 13-inch MacBook Pro with Retina Display. This thing is ridiculously sharp.
One thing to remember about the Surface's display is Microsoft's "ClearType" subpixel rendering. It can make text appear a bit sharper than its resolution would suggest. It also delivers nice, deep blacks.

Stylus

Both devices incorporate styluses
Both devices ship with styluses. The Surface's is probably the better of the two, as the Ativ Q's default stylus is the same small S Pen included with itsGalaxy Note phablets and tablets. Chances are, though, you'll be able to swap it for a third-party Wacom stylus. You just won't be able to dock it inside the tablet, as you can with the S Pen.
The Surface's pen doesn't dock inside the tablet itself, but you can magnetically attach it to the outside of the tablet. You'll just need to find a different home for it while charging, since it latches into the charging port to stay attached.
Note that the size comparison of the styluses pictured above is a rough estimate, and could be off.

Processor

The Ativ's updated Haswell chip could help out with battery life
Samsung didn't tell us the number of cores or clock speed in the Ativ Q, so we're going off of Anandtech's analysis of a demo unit. Samsung did reveal that it's a Haswell-based Intel Core i5, so even if the exact processor changes in the final version, that part won't.
Since it's a Haswell chip, it will likely get better battery life than the Surface Pro. More on that in a minute.

Graphics

The Ativ's integrated GPU is a bit more advanced than the Surface's version
The Ativ's integrated Intel GPU is newer, and probably a bit faster, than the Surface's integrated Intel GPU.

RAM

RAM is all tied up, at 4 GB a pop
Like a lot of Windows 8 tablets and Ultrabooks, both devices pack 4 GB of RAM.

Storage

There's only one storage option, 128 GB, for the Ativ
The entry-level Surface Pro only comes with 64 GB of storage, while the Ativ Q only ships in one 128 GB option. Both can be expanded with microSD cards, or (much less discreetly) external USB hard drives.

Battery

The Ativ Q's battery life is still basically a mystery
For now, you'll want to take the Ativ's estimates with many grains of salt. Samsung hasn't told us anything about its battery hardware, and it also wasn't specific about the conditions that it used to come up with this estimate. All we know is "up to nine hours," which says very little.
Still, with that Haswell chip, we'd be shocked if it didn't handily outlast the Surface Pro (though that 5.7 million pixel display might put some strain on it). For all of its nice features, mediocre battery life is the Surface Pro's Achilles' Heel.

Wireless

No LTE options here
No LTE or mobile data options in either device. It's Wi-Fi only.

Cameras

The cameras are just enough for HD video
Considering its wacky convertible structure, it shouldn't be too shocking that the Ativ Q lacks a rear-facing camera. Even if it did, can you imagine hoisting this gigantic slab to snap photos? And you thought iPad photography was awkward.

Software

This is the Ativ Q's killer feature: it runs Android in a virtual environment
For all of the Ativ's eyebrow-raising features, this is probably the most exciting. It's a Windows 8 tablet, but it also runs Android (likely in a virtual environment). You can quickly toggle back-and-forth between Windows 8 and Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. It even lets you share files between the two systems.
Why Android? Well, the mobile, touch-centric part of Microsoft's Windows 8 equation hasn't exactly been thriving. The Windows Store is still sparse compared to the more established Google Play and iOS App Store. Microsoft probably hates this, but putting Google Play on a Windows 8 device is one surefire way to help out with that end of the spectrum.
The Surface Pro doesn't run Android, but you can actually achieve some of the same results with Bluestacks' Android emulator for Surface.

Starting price

We still don't know pricing for the Ativ Q
We have a lot of questions about the Ativ Q, but this is the biggest. Considering its components, we'd say it's extremely unlikely that it will fall below US$1000. But until Samsung gives us something solid, we're left guessing.
The Surface Pro starts at $900 (for the 64 GB model), but there's little point buying it without adding either the Touch Cover or Type Cover. That will add another $120 or $130 to your checkout price.

Wrap-up

If Microsoft's vision of a "PC Plus" world ever catches on, we might look back at these two as early – but important – blueprint devices. Microsoft wants its Surface tablets to inspire OEMs, and it speaks volumes as to the direction in which Microsoft sees the PC market going. But until future versions deliver better battery life and a lighter/thinner build, that concept's promise won't have quite reached its full potential.
The Ativ Q, meanwhile, leaves us with too many questions to jump to any conclusions. Can convertible hybrid devices also make for great tablets? Is a 13-inch screen way too big for this kind of machine? How much does the Ativ's high-res display affect its battery life?
Those answers will have to wait. But, based on what we do know, the Ativ Q looks, at the very least, like one of the more intriguing Windows 8 devices to come our way. The bigger concern is whether enough customers are interested in $1000+ hybrid PCs to make Microsoft's vision a reality. These devices haven't exactly set the world on fire so far, but it's also still very early in the game.

Fotor – The best Free Photo Editor For Mobile, Desktop And The Web

By Unknown   Posted at  12:41 AM   Windows No comments
Not all images need to be edited using Adobe Photoshop or Adobe Lightroom. Without any prior know-how, using Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Lightroom for minor image-editing exercises can be a slightly overkill. When someone ask suggestions for image editing software, usually many will suggest them Adobe Photoshop but, would you actually buy a software just for minor editing? Especially when there are plenty of freely available solutions online, such as Fotor?
Fotor is an online photo-editing website which allows you to edit your images, create photo collages, make photo cards and turn your image into an HDR image. It’s also a handy tool to have as it works across multiple platforms. Follow the links to get it on your Windows computer,Mac, Windows 8, Android and iOS.
Fotor
Let’s take a look at what this tool can do on Web.

Edit Image Online With Fotor

To start, browse over to Fotor and upload your image. It might take a few seconds or more to upload, depending on the image file size.

1. Photo Editing

For ‘Photo Editing’, you can find features such as basic edits, effects, frames, clip art and add text. You can do basic adjustments such as crop, rotate, and resize your image.
The function for basic edits is almost similar like the ones you find on software such as Adobe Photoshop. You can control the white balance for the image, adjust tone and straighten your images. It doesn’t have functions such as replacing color, adjusting color tone or adjusting curve like Adobe Photoshop as Fotor is more for basic editing rather than complex.
If you are an Instagram user or a fan of filters, good news, you can add filters to your images too. As compared to software like Adobe Photoshop, with Fotor you don’t need to manually adjust the color and other settings. All you need to do is to choose which filter you want and straight apply it on your image – which is much more easier.
Filters
You can also add clip arts like party hats, sunglasses and others on your image. In Adobe Photoshop you would have to can do it too. But, you would need to find and install brushes or crop out the image to place it on your image. Fotor makes it easier for you, just choose which clip art and apply it on your image. The choices might be limited or some of it might not be your style, but it is definitely easier.
Add clip art

2. Photo Collage

You can also create photo collages with Fotor. There are a few types of photo collage templates to choose from such as funky collage, text collage and shape collage. Simply choose a photo collage template and drag your images in the image slot, and you are done! Easy.
Funky collage, text collage and shape collage are only available on the web version of Fotor. On the desktop version, the templates are more clean and neat. Even though there are no fun and funky templates on the desktop version, there are a lot more templates choices you can choose from on the desktop version compared with Fotor web version.
Shape Collage

3. Photo Cards

Want to make cards for special occasions? With Fotor you can create ‘Photo Cards’ for special occasions, such as for Mother’s Day, Valentine’s Day, Birthdays and more. This is an easier way to make photo cards if you are in a rush or if you do not have any skills in using other software.
There are already pre-made photo cards templates, so all you need to do is to choose which template that you like, instead of creating a card from the start. While creating the photo cards, you can add filters and even text to your image to spruce up the card. The editing you can do on it is limited, but it is an easier alternative if you do not have the skills to create a photo card from the start.
Holiday Photo Card

4. High Dynamic Range (HDR)

The last feature that Fotor offers is turning your image into an HDR image. An HDR image is an image that is as close as it can get to what your eyes are actually seeing. Usually professional photographers uses HDR as they want to make their photos looks more realistic. It is very unlikely for someone who wants to do basic editing to use HDR, so this feature is pretty much a bonus.
To create a HDR image, you need a same image with three different levels of exposure – under-exposed, over-exposed and balanced exposed. Fotor will process the images for you, while you play with the ‘Local Tone Balancer’ and ‘Ghost Reduction’ options after it is done.
HDR Image
This is actually very easy if you compared to creating a HDR image using Adobe Photoshop. You need to learn how to use Adobe Photoshop first, if you want to create a HDR image using it. But, with Fotor, just put the three images in boxes, click on start and let Fotor do the hard part for you.

5. Saving & Sharing Your Images

When you’re done, you can save your work in JPG and PNG format then share your images to Facebook, Picasa, Flickr or Twitter. If you’re using the desktop version of Fotor, you too can share your images straight from your desktop to your social sites.

Additional Info

The ‘Photo Cards’ and ‘HDR’ features are only available on the web version of Fotor. On the desktop and mobile app, you will only have the ‘Basic Edits’ and ‘Photo Collage’ features. The mobile app also allows you to capture and edit your photo all in one app.
Overall, Fotor is an useful online and desktop photo editor if you are looking for something basic and easy to use, plus it is free.

NOKIA LUMIA 925

By Unknown   Posted at  11:42 PM   Windows No comments

The Nokia Lumia 920 was a brilliant Windows Phone flagship, with just one problem: It was massive. At 10.7 mm thick and 185 grams in weight, the phone was much larger than its competitors, even Android phones like the Samsung Galaxy S4 that boast much larger five-inch 1080p screens and octa-core processors.



The Lumia 925 aims to fix that problem with a new aluminium body that's just 8.5 mm thick and weighs 139 grams. That's a massive change from the earlier model, yet the Lumia 925 doesn't sacrifice anything in order to achieve the more desirable dimensions - except for wireless charging, which can be adding back in with a special wireless charging Lumia 925 cover.

The Lumia 925 includes the same PureView 8.7-megapixel camera with optical image stabilisation that was included on the Lumia 920. That means you should see the exact same excellent low-light performance and steady videos. The 925 also includes a new Windows Phone app called Smart Cam, which offers a range of new automatic burst modes for you to choose from, that rival the choices available on the Galaxy S4 and other top-end Android phones. For example, there's a Best Shot mode for automatically selecting the most in-focus shot, Action Shot for making a composite of a moving subject and Motion Focus which adds motion blur to everything that isn't moving.

The hardware is also (almost) unchanged from the Lumia 920 - there's a 1.5 GHz Snapdragon dual-core processor, 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of internal storage. The only change has been an upgrade of the display from LCD to AMOLED - a move that should result in better, more energy efficient blacks at the slight cost of colour accuracy.


So to sum up, the Lumia 925 is a rare example of a phone that seems an upgrade in every meaningful area over its predecessor. While we could have seen a more revolutionary upgrade in Android land, in the heavily regimented area of Windows Phone this is as good as it gets.
