Create Kaspersky Update Server Mirror for Offline

One annoying thing about Kaspersky product is after installing, it takes a very long time to fully update the program modules and bases files. Currently if you do a fresh installation of the latest version of Kaspersky 8.0.0.506, you’ll still need to download around 18MB. It’s not big but the problem is Kaspersky update servers are painfully slow… max ppls internet speed is crawling like a snail,it's hard to get to update Kaspersky to use the latest program modules and bases. It’s pointless having one of the best antivirus installed on the computer but without updating it.

Indian Software Product Development Companies are being looked for

I came across this notification today which should definitely be a good opportunity to Software Companies and also Tech aspirants. It was read as below:

eScan 10 - Content Security

MicroWorld’s eScan 10 is simple in its design and sits quietly in the background. Like a guardian angel that flies in from nowhere, it makes an appearance when a malicious script is detected on a website, or when someone plugs in a USB pen drive into the system. Its interface is simple, neat and well organized. For a security suite it is surprisingly light on system resources and works well on a 1 GB RAM test machine. At first, you do not see any dialog boxes with tabs and multiple options. In fact, there are just three main program functions: Protection, Scan and Tools. Dig a little deeper within each function and you’ll find all the options and controls. Scan reports are shown for all areas (files, email, fi rewall). Beneath this layer of simplicity sits a powerful anti-virus engine that keeps a watch on files, email, Web pages, network activities, registry changes, application activity, user access and privacy. eScan can check for viruses, Trojans, spam, spyware, adware, keyloggers, worms, rootkits and other malicious objects. There’s a built-in fi rewall and asset management feature too. In that sense, eScan offers all-round protection.

There is however something that can help us out of this mess without asking for much. It's called 'LastPass Password Manager'. It is a Mozilla Firefox add-on that supports versions from 2.0 to 3.7. Follow these steps to install and configure your passwords with LastPass.
