AVG Technologies has announced that its latest anti-virus software, AVG 9 with added protections, will remain free.

I have been beta testing the software known as Microsoft Security Essentials since it was released. The software is currently installed on my test box which is running Windows 7 RTM along with a virtual copy of Windows XP.

Over at TechRepublic they had a list of 10 things, which I narrowed to 5, you should know before upgrading from Windows XP to Windows 7. There is nothing magical about any upgrade and the basics have been the same with every new operating system. So I have taken what I feel are the absolute [...]
