Which antivirus is the best?

It is difficult to answer the question to which one is the best antivirus. I tried several antiviruses but I was disappointed pretty fast. I used AVG antivirus, but that seemed to use a handsome amount of memory from my pc. Then I used McaFee Antivirus Enterprise version. It also showed some drawbacks. Firstly, it failed to detect some crucial viruses. Secondly, updating is a bit difficult. Another thing which is very noteworthy is that, this software requires to be bought firstly to use minimum functionality for a longer period. Though I did not use personally, a number of my friends told me that, their Kaspersky Antivirus is also not that efficient. They used the purchased version of that. I started using Avast from the very beginning of buying a new Laptop in January, 2010. Since then, it did not disappoint me for about last 2 years. The most important aspect of Avast is that, you can use the Free Version of the antivirus for a period of 1 (one) year. Avast is very easy to updat

Free Domain Name and Webhosting

Who does not like to have a free website of his own? I firmly believe that anyone will be much happy if he has a personal website online. In most cases, free webhosting services are available online, but free domain name service is very rare. Most of the online webhosting companies provide hosting services only anyone buys a domain name with some specific scheme which involves a good amount of money. If you google around internet, you will find considerable number of webhosting sites. But the most effective site I ever find is www.000webhost.com . This site provides free domain although it contains an added extension with it. Basically they provide domains for the users and at the same time webhosting service, for no cost of course. The features of services 000webhost.com provides are as follows: Free domain name like www.example.site40.net or www.example.hostzi.com Free webhosting storage of 1500MB 100GB Bandwidth 5 sub-domains Easy site builder 5 emai
