   Review - Kaspersky Anti-Virus

   11.0.0.232 (Jun 8, 2010)

   Great anti-virus software, only downside is that recent versions have made my system slow down considerably. I installed MSE as a comparison, and the difference in performance greatly favoured MSE. KAV seems to keep scanning the same core files over and over again even though it has settings to not do this.

   Review - Microsoft Security Essentials (32-bit)

   1.0.1959.0 (Mar 1, 2010)

   1.0.1961.0 is the version I got when I loaded, auto-update in the app does not pick up any new version - only manual download and install works.
   
   It seems to work very well, at least in terms of resource usage (very low).

   186.18 (Jun 21, 2009)

   Using the x64 Vista version of this for my 9600GT did not go well. The screen seems to flicker in white spaces (on m LCD). went back to the previous driver I had (182.08) a the issues went away.

   A problem that could result in corruption of the firmware on Intel GigE ethernet hardware has led to the disabling of the e1000e driver in the Linux kernel included in Ubuntu 8.10 Beta. Ethernet devices that use this driver cannot be used with Ubuntu 8.10 Beta; support for this hardware will be re-enabled in daily builds immediately after Beta and this issue will be resolved for the Ubuntu 8.10 final release. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/263555

   Review - TortoiseCVS

   1.9.17 (Unstable) (Nov 1, 2006)

   Not sure why anyone is still sticking with CVS when Subversion provides a superior alternative.
   
   4 points because TortoseSVN is based from this and its great.

6. Comment - Court forces ex-IBMer to leave his job at Apple

   1.9.17 (Unstable) (Nov 10, 2008 - 10:40 PM)

   There are ways around it, he can be a contract "consultant" for a year.

7. Comment - Comcast to deploy 250 GB/month usage caps in October

   1.9.17 (Unstable) (Aug 28, 2008 - 5:51 PM)

   Better then the Rogers 90G/month cap!

8. Comment - Pandora: Last gasp for Internet radio can't be further prolonged

   1.9.17 (Unstable) (Aug 20, 2008 - 10:50 AM)

   Does this mean non-USA internet radio sites will now florish? (or at least until a local version of FRA hunts them down locally)

9. Comment - IBM Fights Back Against Spammers

   1.9.17 (Unstable) (Mar 22, 2005 - 8:34 PM)

   Corp users may like this, spammers already know emails of a large company. Bouncing back allows legitimate senders to realized their mail didn't make it, rather then just have it vanish.
