Richard Penney (Photo from Middleton police)
ROCHESTER — An attorney representing Richard Penney, the man charged with taking a woman hostage during a standoff in Middleton, is asking a judge to determine whether Penney is competent to stand trial.Foster's has learned that a public defender representing Penney filed a motion on Thursday, Feb. 7, in Rochester Circuit Court seeking a competency hearing.Strafford County prosecutors have yet to respond to the motion, which asks a judge to determine whether Penney is fit to stand trial.Penney is accused of holding a loaded gun to his brother's head on Thursday, Jan. 31, then stealing a semi-automatic rifle and forcing his way into a woman's home. Penney allegedly threatened to kill the woman and harm himself during an ensuing standoff with police.The ordeal ended peacefully about three hours later when Penney was convinced by a State Police SWAT team negotiator to emerge from the Lake Shore Drive home.Penney faces five felony charges, including theft of firearms, armed robbery and kidnapping. He entered no plea during a video arraignment on Feb. 1, and was ordered held on $500,000 cash bail.Police have provided little information about Penney's background, indicating only that he is believed to be homeless, though he lived in Middleton at one time. Prosecutors have yet to comment on what they believe triggered the standoff.Assistant Strafford County Prosecutor Matt Zahn said Penney does not have a criminal record. Zahn declined to comment earlier this month on whether Penney has a history of mental illness. If he makes bail, Penney has been ordered to undergo a mental evaluation and to wear a GPS tracking bracelet. He has been ordered to have no contact with his brother or the woman he allegedly held captive, or to come within close proximity to their homes.A probable cause hearing scheduled to take place Monday in Rochester Circuit Court was continued. A new date for the hearing has not been set.

Obama Drops Nuclear Energy from Convention Speech
8:59 am in Uncategorized by Gregg Levine
Compare and contrast.
When then-Senator Barack Obama took the stage in Denver four years ago to accept the nomination of the Democratic Party, he delivered what many saw as a powerful and pitch-perfect speech that contained an ambitious plan to correct course after eight years of President George W. Bush. But to this reporter, sitting amongst the cheering throngs at Mile High, one point hit a decidedly sour note.
In the section on energy, which began with the understanding that the country's economy, security and energy futures are intertwined, Obama pledged to "end our dependence on oil from the Middle East" in ten years, and also spoke of investing $150 billion in renewable energy over that same decade. But then the Democratic nominee added this:
As President, I will tap our natural gas reserves, invest in clean coal technology, and find ways to safely harness nuclear power.
And with that, at least from where I sat (politically more than physically), a soaring speech came crashing to the ground. Even four years ago, "tapping natural gas reserves" was an ominous gloss-over for dangerous drilling techniques and increased carbon emissions. "Clean coal" had already proven to be nothing better than a marketing laugh line, something the Senator from coal-producing Illinois had to say. And "find[ing] ways to safely harness nuclear power," well, funny that, both because it, too, felt like campaign-trail noblesse oblige for some of Obama's biggest contributors, and because it implied that a safe way to harness nuclear power was something that had not yet been found.
But there it was–what would eventually come to be known as "fracking," plus the myth of "clean coal," and a big nod to the moribund nuclear power industry. One, two, three strikes in Obama's energy pitch.
Fast, uh, "forward" four years, move indoors and 2,000 miles east, and listen to what President Obama had to say about America's energy future in his 2012 convention speech: Read the rest of this entry →

Its handsome leather construction, antiqued metal buckle and metal Alpinestars badge installed on the end really deserve applause — a slow, hesitant clap eventually breaking into an all-out frenzy of slapping hands. You could have chosen any belt, but you trusted the Accolade belt to keep your pants up. That deserves recognition.

I gave this to my gf as a promise ring on valentines day. She LOVES it, cried when i gave it her, and is so thrilled. However, she is a very simple girl, and the diamond is very small and off white colored. I recommend it, but don't expect a perfect stone. Look up the diamond color charts to see an example of its color
I like the ring it small of course though- I wear a 4 1/2 anyway so it looks even smaller on my hand . But it is a nice ring . Would do better for a teenager most likely .
perfect first ring or token. understated and pretty. Great for girls who don't want gaudy.
The ring was perfect. It's prettier than the picture showed.
She loves it won't take it off for anything, yes it's small but she likes small jewelry so to not draw attention
The ring serves its purpose well. It's the perfect size for a promise ring. Im very happy with the results.
The ring arrived today, and I can honestly say that I am really happy. The image on the site is obviously an enhanced close up, but the ring itself is still beautiful. I really believe that my soon to be fiancee will love it.

STATUS: It's such a gorgeous day in Denver. I'm ready to pop out early and take Chutney for a long walk.
What's playing on the XM or iPod right now? WALK ON THE WILD SIDE Edie Brickell & The New Bohemians
This weekend I did my first SCBWI conference. For those of you unfamiliar with the acronym, it stands for the Society of Children's Book Writers and Illustrators. I just had a blast.
As I've done in the past, I did my 2-pages or First pages workshop where writers submit their opening pages, it gets read aloud, and I say yay or nay--would I have read on and why.
This time, I had something happen that has never happened before. My reader chose the first three at random and read them aloud. I would have read on for all three.
That's rare. I've given this workshop a dozen or so times and I've usually found only one submission that I would have read further on. 99.9% of what we see isn't quite ready for an agent to review. By the way, this is not to stay it will never be ready. Just that it wasn't quite there in this incarnation.
Trust me, I don't want to stomp on writers' dreams!
For this workshop, I noticed a couple of beginning writer mistakes that I haven't really talked about yet so I thought I would tackle some.
Beginning Writer Mistake: Opening scenes that make it clear that the writer has not thought through the character's backstory and history before writing the scene.
What do I mean by this? I can tell from reading the scene that the writer is simply trying to create an exciting opening and if the writer had stopped to think about it, there is no way the characters would react as written if the characters had a clear history with either the other character in the scene or to the event.
For example, a Grandma loves to drive fast, in direct opposition to most people's perception of how a grandmother would drive. So the writer wants to show this quirky trait and thus writes an opening scene from the grandchild's perspective who is reacting wildly to the grandmother's driving.
However, if the character is often driven by her grandmother, she'd be used to her Nana's rather erratic speed demon driving habit. So given that history, she wouldn't react dramatically to it; it would be normal.
Do you see what I mean? The writer should approach the scene with the above assumption. Now the writer can still have this opening erratic driving scene but the grandchild character's reaction would be written differently with this history in mind.
And if it's the first time the grandmother has ever driven that character, then that would need to be made clear and then the character could react dramatically. The scene would then work.
But I often see slush pile submissions where it's clear to me that the writer hasn't quite gotten knowledgeable about his or her characters before jumping in to writing scenes about them.
Just another writing tip to keep in mind!

So, it has finally got to the stage where we need to remodel our home a little bit. The room in the house we had originally set up as a home office for me and my husband has gradually been taken over by kids equipment and toys. Last weekend we finally took a look at what can go and how we can rearrange things, and we came to the conclusion that that space is just more suitable as a kids play room than an office.
This means that we now have to remodel what has been functioning as a nursery. It's a smaller space so we need to think about this smartly. Our desk will still fit and it is important to both of us to keep the desk. As my husband is quite tall he needed one that was height adjustable and we spent quite a bit of money on it. What we are looking for is a smarter way to store files and books, which we have quite a few of.
The first thing we need to invest in is a better phone system as we both tend to make quite a few calls for work. We have a VoIP system that works really well and has 3 incoming phone lines that are used quite a lot. What we need is some reader recommendations about desk and cordless phone systems that will help solve our problem. Currently we have an old IP phone which my husband uses for business conference calls. This is kind of something we still need, but the phone we have has seen better days and the audio quality is not great either.
Essentially we are looking for a combination desk and cordless phone system, all integrated into one. Ideally two cordless devices and one desk phone with answering machine. We did find some good cordless phone reviews and are currently considering a Panasonic KX-TG7642M. Do any of my readers have experience with it?
Secondly, we need to extend our WiFi range a bit, as when one of us is using the office for a call, it really is distracting for the other to be in there. We have looked at WiFi extenders that plug into wall sockets, but I'm just not sure how well these really work. Have any of you out there got some good feedback? Otherwise we will just have to get another Apple WiFi device, which aren't that expensive.
The final piece of the puzzle will be storage, which is going to be a bit of nightmare. Both of us have quite a few files and my husband also has a lot of reference books that he has accumulated over the years. We are going to start looking at them all to see which ones we really need and which ones can go. We already did this with lots of other books, but there is still going to be quite a bit left. What we need is a better storage solution that can transform small spaces. We've been to a few furniture stores and there are some reasonably good things available, but nothing so far has really grabbed our attention. Does anyone have some suggestions?

Prague: Shopping
Destination guide
The offer is varied and ranges from the more traditional products of the Czech handicrafts, items of glass or ceramics, wooden toys and puppets to shopping for luxury brands, located in fashionable street Parizká. If you're in Prague at the time of Easter, be sure to visit the street markets.
The town centre is the best place to shop; not only because it allows you to visit the shops while walking on foot, but also has an extended schedule (some establishments close at 20.00 or 22.00 and most of them are open on weekend). Prague is the best place to buy the famous Bohemian crystal, which have parts for all tastes: from replicas of glass worn by Czech kings to ornaments with a unique design. The Erpet (www.erpet.cz/crystal) or Blue Praha (www.bluepraha.cz) is a good choice for this type of purchase. Who likes to create their own accessories from beads, have stores like Star Beads (www.starbeads.cz) or Korálkárna (www.koralekshop.cz) a real source of inspiration. The puppets and wooden toys are great gifts for kids or even adults which can be found in Obchod loutkami (www.marionettes.cz), Truhlár Marionety and Galerie Marionette, both with stores in town. In this area is also Czech Tradition (www.czech-tradition.com) , which sells traditional crafts or Manufaktura (www.manufaktura.biz) , specializing in natural cosmetics. Who wants to take home a little traditional taste of Czech, Becherovka liqueur is an excellent suggestion. This can be found in various places, from ordinary shops to museums shops.

Avira vs avast vs AVG vs Panda Cloud vs Bitdefender vs MSE, review of best free anti-virus for Windows [4th Edition]
Posted By Ashraf On February 22, 2014 @ 9:08 PM In Best Free Windows Software | 512 Comments
Here on dotTech, without a doubt one of the most popular questions we are asked is "which anti-virus should I use for my computer — what is the best anti-virus for Windows"? Often times the person asking is looking for a free security solution as opposed to a paid one. To address this question, we have created this review of best free anti-virus program for Windows and are going to directly address the issue of: what is the best free anti-virus program for Windows?
There are quite a few free anti-virus/anti-malware software for Windows. However, we picked what we felt are the top six best free anti-virus programs for Windows, tested them, reviewed then, compared them, and present you with our findings. These six are almost the most popular and most commonly inquired about, hence why we picked them.
Also, to be clear, to be included in this review of best free anti-virus programs for Windows, a program must have live protection features. Many free versions of anti-virus or anti-malware programs only have on demand protection and don't have live protection (e.g. Emsisoft Anti-Malware), hence they will never be included in this review.
That said, when evaluating best free anti-virus programs and trying to decide which one you want to use, there are two main areas which you should look at: features and performance. So, lets get started.
This review is part of our Best Free Windows Software [1] section. Check out more articles on the best free Windows programs from here [1].
Table of Contents
Here at dotTech we've been reviewing and comparing the best free anti-virus programs for Windows for over four years. During this time, we've updated this review of best free anti-virus program for Windows multiple times; this review of best free anti-virus program for Windows is currently on its 4th Edition (fourth update).
This Summary of Update section provides you with a quick look at the changes we made to this review of review of best free anti-virus program for Windows in our updates.
4th Edition [Most Current Edition]
In the 4th edition of dotTech's review of best free anti-virus program for Windows, the following changes have been made:
Note: We've had requests from people to include Comodo Internet Security, a free security suite that includes anti-virus, in our review of best free anti-virus program for Windows. However, we have not yet added Comodo Internet Security to our review of best free anti-virus program for Windows because we have not been able to find a reliable source that tests the performance of Comodo Internet Security. Comodo Internet Security is neither tested by VirusBulletin nor AV-Comparatives, two of the most trusted anti-virus testing organizations.
Comodo Internet Security is tested by AV-Test, but we don't trust the results provided by AV-Test. Why? Because we've noticed AV-Test's results have way too much variance in results for anti-virus programs despite doing very frequent and regular tests. In other words, one month you may see Antivirus XYZ perform well and the next month it gives average performance, despite there being no major updates to Antivirus XYZ between the two tests.
We feel either AV-Test has flawed testing methodology or they provide biased results, which is why we are not using their test results for this review of best free anti-virus program for Windows. If anyone can convince us AV-Test results are trustworthy, please do let us know and we will be happy to include Comodo Internet Security into our review of best free anti-virus program for Windows.
3rd Edition
In the 3rd edition of dotTech's review on Best Free Windows Anti-Virus/Anti-Malware the following changes have been made:
2nd Edition
In the 2nd edition of dotTech's review of best free anti-virus program for Windows, the following changes have been made:
(Click on the chart to view it in full size.)
In terms of features, as you can see in the chart above, all six of the best free anti-virus programs for Windows provide the necessary fundamental protection. However, it is worth noting that neither of the programs provide full/advanced phishing protection; you will have to cough up money for paid versions to get full/advanced phishing protection. Or, you could just be careful about what links you click… and double-check to make sure the website you are at is who it claims to be since phishing success heavily depends on social engineering and user ambivalence.
Furthermore, while all six best free anti-virus programs for Windows provide the fundamentals, avast! is the most notable one for going "above and beyond" the basics and providing a little extra bang for the buck (or lack thereof). In other words, avast! provides more "extra" features than the other five best free anti-virus programs for Windows, although AVG Free also has some nice extras. It also should be noted Avira Free's "Website Safety Advisor" requires users to install Avira Toolbar, which is powered by Ask.com; avast Free and AVG Free install add-ons/extensions in your browser for their "WebGuard" and "Link Protection" features but those are add-ons/extensions and not toolbars. The difference, of course, is more in appearance than functionality (i.e. avast Free and AVG Free's add-ons and extensions don't put a literal toolbar in your browser while AVG Free's toolbar does) but nonetheless a difference to note.
On the subject of toolbars, aside from its browser add-on/extension for "Link Protection", AVG Free comes bundled with AVG Secure Search Security Toolbar [12]. AVG Secure Search Security Toolbar is essentially bloatware and is very hard to uninstall once you get it on your computer; in fact, in my experience, the toolbar behaves like malware [12]. If you end up opting to get AVG Free, I highly recommend keeping your eyes open while installing AVG Free and to uncheck and not install AVG Secure Search security Toolbar.
That being said, let me point out a fundamental difference between these best free anti-virus programs for Windows. Avira Free, avast Free, AVG Free, and Microsoft Security Essentials are traditional anti-virus programs; they operate offline, doing all the scanning on your computer and regularly downloading signature database updates. On the other hand, Panda Cloud Free and Bitdefender Free are cloud-based anti-virus programs. Although they both also operate when you don't have an active internet connection, their main strength is that they leverage the power of the cloud to protect you: most of the hard work and processing is down via the cloud and not your own computer, and you never download any signature databases because it is all hosted in the cloud.
The primary advantage of using cloud-based anti-virus programs is they lessen the load — and slow down your computer less — than traditional anti-virus programs. However, the flip side is, you don't get as good protection if you don't have an active internet connection. Enough about that, though — we will talk more details about computer load and protection in the performance section [4]below in this review of best free anti-virus programs for Windows.
Lastly, even though Microsoft Security Essentials is the only one to not prompt users with advertisements, it must be noted that the ads in avast! Free and Bitdefender Free are comparatively non-intrusive and less frequent than the other best free anti-virus programs – they are not as annoying as what Avira Free and AVG Free do.
Before we go on to the next section, I want to point out two unique things about Bitdefender Free as compared to the others.
Firstly, you will notice we did not list Bitdefender Free as having on-demand scanning capabilities. This is because, Bitdefender Free does not have the ability to initiate an on-demand scan of your whole computer — it only has the ability to initiate and on-demand scan of individual folders/files, which we feel is incredibly stupid.
Secondly, Bitdefender Free is an arrogant son of a gun: it does not give you the choice of what to do when an infected file pr website is found. As stated in our full review of Bitdefender Free [13]:
When Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition detects what it feels is a malicious website or malicious file, it automatically blocks the file/website — you are given no ability to override the block. I can understand why Bitdefender behaves like this; they don't want users to be infected because they wrongly overrode Bitdefender and allowed a malicious file to be executed or a malicious website to be loaded. So is a good thing for the average Joe who has no idea what button to press when prompted with a scary "malware has been detected message". However, all anti-virus programs, including Bitdefender, are prone to have some false positives. Not giving users the ability to override Bitdefender actions or not giving users the ability to select what they want to do with a suspected malicious file means you simply have to live with any false positives Bitdefender detects, which is very poor form on the part of Bitdefender.
By behaving like this, basically Bitdefender is saying: We are always right and you are too stupid to make your own decisions. So bend over and take it. I don't know about you but I ain't bending over, and it has nothing to do with my wife getting jealous.
So while Bitdefender Free may have good features, you are handing over a lot of control to the program.
When viewing the above test results, keep a few things in mind:
That all being said, the two above mentioned test results tell us one story: the results are a clear indication of Avira's detection superiority. True, aside from Microsoft Security Essentials which has a significantly low rate of 90.1% and avast which has a not-too-low-still-provides-good-protection-but-is-surprising rate of 96.5% in on demand tests, all of the free anti-virus programs for Window provide excellent protection when doing on demand scans. However, when you factor in the ability to block zero-day attacks (Retrospective/Proactive Anti-Malware Tests), Avira shines above the lot with a commanding 84% block rate of new/unknown malware.
It is important to note that Avira's high protection comes at a cost: Avira has "very many" false positives. Having very many false positives means Avira will block safe files more often than other anti-virus programs. So while it has the best protection rates, be prepared to use your assessment skills to determine if a file Avira thinks is malicious is actually malicious or not.
If the issue of false positives is important to you, then Microsoft Security Essentials is the best of the lot — but there is a trade-off, you get less false positives and you also get less protection. (Yep, nothing in life is without trade-offs.)
At this point you may be thinking: hang on a second Ashraf, doesn't Bitdefender have tip-top protection in both on demand and zero-day protection tests? This is true; Bitdefender does show excellent protection rates — in fact, Bitdefender's protection against new/unknown malware is better than Avira's as per these tests. But keep in mind, the tests were done using Bitdefender Anti-Virus+ not Bitdefender Antivirus Free (aka Bitdefender Free).
Typically, as I've said above, the difference between paid and free versions of each anti-virus program is not important for the purposes of our simple analysis to try to determine which free anti-virus program is the best. We are, after all, using the best data results we have at hand. In this particular case, however, it is important to differentiate between Bitdefender Anti-Virus+ and Bitdefender Free for the Retrospective/Proactive Anti-Malware Tests. Why? Because there was no active internet connection while Retrospective/Proactive Anti-Malware Tests were conducted and Bitdefender Free is a cloud-based anti-virus whereas Bitdefender Anti-Virus+ is not as cloud-based.
As already mentioned, cloud-based anti-virus still work offline but, more often than not, they don't perform as well. For example, Panda Cloud Free performs as well as Avira in On-Demand Anti-Malware Tests when internet connection was active but does not perform as well as Avira in Retrospective/Proactive Anti-Malware Tests when there was no access to the internet. This means, more likely than not, if Bitdefender Free was tested in Retrospective/Proactive Anti-Malware Tests then it would probably not perform as well as the 97% of Bitdefender Anti-Virus+. We don't really know how well Bitdefender Free would perform but I venture to say it would perform in the late 70s%, maybe early 80s%, similar to Panda Cloud Free.
So, then, let's cut past all the crap and get down to it: which is *the best* when it comes to detection rates? Frankly, there is no "best" — they are all good, with the exception of MSE. But, if I were to rank the best free anti-virus programs based only on detection rates, my top three would be Avira Free, Panda Cloud Free, and Bitdefender Free. After that, fourth is avast Free, following by AVG Free and MSE.
With that said, however, keep two things in mind:
Now let's get to the next category of evaluation, shall we?
(Click on the chart to view it in full size.)
Being able to detect malware has value in and of itself; simply knowing you are infected is worthwhile. However, an anti-virus/anti-malware program that cannot remove malware is probably one you don't want to have. Hence we look at the results of a malware removal effectiveness test.
Before we discuss the results it must be noted this malware removal effectiveness test had limited scope — it only used eleven samples. It is hard, and frankly not fair or logical, to draw authoritative conclusions based on a test that only used eleven samples. However, for the purposes of a non-authoritative indicator, this test will do just fine… as long as you keep in mind the limited scope.
Also remember, this test was conducted on the free versions of avast, Panda Cloud, and MSE but on the paid versions of Avira and Bitdefender. So it is goes without saying Bitdefender and Avira has a leg up on the others for this test because paid versions always have more features than free versions. Nonetheless, this is an interesting test to evaluate.
Oh and AVG apparently didn't want to be included in this test either. Not really sure why.
That said, Avira and Bitdefender show they superior skills once again. Avast and Panda come in a seconds with MSE a relatively distant last. As I said, this test used only eleven samples so we can't say only Avira and Bitdefender are good while the others are incompetent at removing malware. The results very well could have been different if different eleven malware samples were picked. (That is why having a large, randomized sample size is important in any test. The sample for this test was randomized but the size is a bit small.) However, the results are still interesting because they show one fact: no one single anti-virus program can remove all malware. Most anti-virus remove most malware but none remove all — at least not without external help, which comes in the form of a boot disc in this case.
(Click on the chart to view it in full size.)
(Click on the chart to view it in full size.)
Note: Just like previous tests, for this test free versions of avast, Panda Cloud, and MSE were used and paid versions of Avira, AVG, and Bitdefender were used.
Generally speaking, the computer impact of all six best free anti-virus programs is about the same. True, avast does come out on top but only by a small margin — and this small margin will likely only noticed when benchmarking, not in real-life usage. Really if you take a look at the first graph, the six best free anti-virus programs perform similarly across the vast majority of tests. Indeed the Computer Impact test ended up with results that are too close to draw lines between.
What is interesting, however, is how Panda Cloud Free not only fails to top the rankings but it is at the bottom of the pack. Sure, as I just said, the differences between the results for each product is not very significant. However, one of the major selling points of using a cloud-based anti-virus is that it has less of an impact on your computer and does not slow your computer down as much as traditional AVs. That is the trade-off you are supposed to get for accepting under-performance of cloud-based AVs when not connected to the internet. These test results, however, seemingly contradict claims of cloud-based AVs — Panda Cloud Free, in this case — being more "lightweight" than traditional AVs. That is not to say cloud-based AVs, such as Panda Cloud Free, are more "heavy" than traditional AVs; however, these test results suggest they aren't more "light" either.
That being said, keep in mind these test results are benchmarks and performance in real-life usage can vary. For example, despite avast topping performance tests, I've had a poor experience with avast Free causing slowdowns [21] on my computer whereas Avira Free does no such thing. So while these results are important, you should always use them for what they are — benchmarking — and not let them hold sway over your real-life experience. Regardless of what benchmarks say, if you are using any of the six best free anti-virus programs and you notice your computer slowing down, don't be afraid to switch to a different one of the best free anti-virus programs to see if it does not offer you better performance.
(For those that don't know, PC Mark is a professional, industry-recognized benchmarking tool. The higher PC Mark score, the better. However, when it comes to PC Mark, few points here and there have no significant meaning. If PC Mark scores were drastically different, such as 5 or more, then it would be worth looking at.)
In our previous Detection Rates [5] section, we discussed the ability of our six best free anti-virus programs for Windows to block known malware and unknown/known malware (zero-day) in a lab setting — a way to benchmark their detection rates. In this section we are doing something similar. However, we are testing the protection provided by the six best free anti-virus programs for Windows by trying to emulate a "real-life" setting instead of a lab.
The obvious advantage of testing the six best free anti-virus programs for Windows in a "real-life" setting over a lab setting is real-life protection rates are more relevant to end users than protection rates. A not-so-obvious advantage is, the "real-life" test results are a few months more current than the tests done in the lab setting; they are still a few months old at the time of this writing, but they are more current than the other tests. A disadvantage is the sample size of the "real-life" test is a lot smaller than the lab setting test; however, the "real-life" sample size is still statistically sound and larger than 1,000 for each product.
For the purposes of this "real-life" test, the ability of the six best free anti-virus programs for Windows to block known and unknown malware (files and URLs) was analyzed. Each program was left at default settings, had an active internet connection during these tests and the test was conducted over a span of four months, using the following versions of each program:
(Click on the chart to view it in full size.)
And without further ado, here are the results of the Real-Life Protection Rates test:
As you can see, the Real-Life Protection Rates test results are largely similar to the results shown previously: Avira, avast, Panda Cloud, and Bitdefender all provide excellent protection and MSE still falls way below the pack. The exception to this is AVG, which has seen its performance from lab setting test drop by a large amount.
Whereas in our previous Detection Rates test (the lab setting) AVG was running with the pack near the front, AVG is now near the bottom in the Real-Life Protection Rates test results. And while a rate of 95.7% would be acceptable in a lab setting, to miss almost 5% of malware in a "real-life" setting really makes me question AVG's usefulness as an anti-virus program. Sure, blocking 95.7% of malware in a "real-life" setting is nothing to sneeze at. But it is also nothing to write home about, either. To make matters worse, the paid version of AVG was tested… so the free version is bound to have even lower protection rates.
Note: All tests referenced in all Performance Comparison [4] sub-sections of this article were not conducted by dotTech. They (the tests) were conducted by AV-Comparatives.org [24], an authority on security software testing. I attained permission to re-publish AV-Comparatives' results on dotTech when I originally wrote this article.
And here is the section you've all been waiting for: the final verdict. After considering all aspects of the six best free anti-virus programs for Windows, which ones stand out above the crowd? Which one is the best of the lot? Which ones should be avoided? Let's talk, shall we.
While there are some noteworthy aspects — such as Avira's excellent protection and removal performance — there is no one "winner" between Avira Free vs avast Free vs AVG Free vs Panda Cloud Free vs Bitdefender Free vs Microsoft Security Essentials. To try to determine which one is the "best" is like trying to split hairs; it is hard to do and it hurts. Still, that doesn't mean we can't try now does it? :-)
After considering all the results — from our Features Comparison [3] and Performance Comparison [4] [Detection Rates [5], Malware Removal Effectiveness [6], Computer Impact [7], Real-Life Protection Rates [8]] sections — I rank Avira Free, avast Free, and Panda Cloud Free the top three best free anti-virus programs for Windows (in no particular order):
Bitdefender Free is also very good but I personally don't like the arrogance of the program, i.e. not letting me pick what to do with detected malicious files/URLs and not having ability to scan whole computer on demand. Microsoft Security Essentials comes dead last and it should not be a surprise why: it provides poor performance when compared to the rest, even thought it has the least amount of false positives. AVG Free ranks before Microsoft Security Essentials but after Bitdefender Free; AVG Free is a decent overall package but has no notable aspects — it doesn't shine in any categories and I personally question why AVG would not want to participate in some of tests we talked about in this review of best free anti-virus programs for Windows.
With that said, what program you should use comes down to your specific needs and desires. Want the most features? avast! Free is the way to go. Are you looking for the best protection and don't care about anything else like features or false positives? Avira Free is for you. Hate ads? avast Free, Bitdefender Free, and MSE win out in that category. (Note: I don't recommend MSE no matter how much you hate ads, but the choice is yours.) Are you a social network addict? Go with AVG Free for it has "Social Network Protection". Hate false positives? Avoid AVG Free, Avira Free, and Panda Cloud Free and consider avast Free or Bitdefender Free. Download lots of software? avast Free's "Auto Sandbox" may be your next best friend. Are you tech-unsavvy, don't know what to click when your anti-virus flags a file or URL, and would prefer to allow your anti-virus make the decision of which file or URL to block? Bitdefender Free is your best pick.
As you can see, there are too many moving parts for us to tell you what is the best free anti-virus program for you. We have provided you with the facts; now the choice of Avira Free vs avast Free vs AVG Free vs Panda Cloud Free vs Bitdefender Free vs Microsoft Security Essentials is in your hands. So roll up your sleeves and pick one; if your first pick doesn't work out, don't be afraid to experiment and try out one or two more before deciding on your final one. Whichever one you pick, rest assured all of the best free anti-virus programs for Windows mentioned in this program are good (except for Microsoft Security Essentials :-).

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To measure the amount of copper in the blood, urine, or liver; to help diagnose and monitor Wilson disease; sometimes to identify copper deficiencies and excesses
When to Get Tested?
When you have jaundice, fatigue, abdominal pain, behavioral changes, tremors, or other symptoms that your doctor thinks may be due to Wilson disease or, rarely, to copper deficiency or excess; at intervals when you are being treated for a copper-related condition
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm and/or a 24-hour urine sample; sometimes a liver biopsy sample
Test Preparation Needed?
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
This test measures the amount of copper in the blood, urine, or liver (hepatic). Copper is an essential mineral that the body incorporates into enzymes. These enzymes play a role in the regulation of iron metabolism, formation of connective tissue, energy production at the cellular level, the creation of melanin (the pigment that produces skin color), and the function of the nervous system.
Copper is found in many foods including nuts, chocolate, mushrooms, shellfish, whole grains, dried fruits, and liver. Drinking water may acquire copper as it flows through copper pipes, and food may acquire it when people cook or serve food in copper dishes. Normally, the body absorbs copper from the intestines, makes it nontoxic by binding it to a protein, and transports it to the liver. The liver stores some of the copper and binds most of the rest to another protein called apoceruloplasmin to produce the enzyme ceruloplasmin. About 95% of the copper in the blood is bound to ceruloplasmin, and most of the rest is bound to other proteins such as albumin. Only a small amount is normally present in the blood in a free (unbound) state. The liver excretes excess copper into the bile and it is removed from the body in the stool. Some copper is also excreted in the urine.
Both excesses and deficiencies of copper are rare. Wilson disease, an inherited disorder, can lead to excess storage of copper in the liver, brain, and other organs. This can cause tissue damage and signs and symptoms such as:
- Anemia
- Nausea, abdominal pain
- Jaundice
- Fatigue
- Behavioral changes
- Tremors
- Difficulty walking and/or swallowing
- Dystonia
If the kidneys are involved, then urine production may be decreased or absent. Some of these symptoms may also be seen with copper poisoning that is due to acute or chronic environmental exposure to copper or due to conditions such as liver disease or obstructions that prevent or inhibit copper metabolism and excretion.
Copper deficiencies may occasionally occur in people who have conditions associated with severe malabsorption, such as cystic fibrosis and celiac disease, and in infants exclusively fed cow-milk formulas. Symptoms may include neutropenia, osteoporosis, and microcytic anemia. A rare X-linked genetic condition called Menkes kinky hair syndrome leads to copper deficiencies in the brain and liver of affected infants. The disease, which affects primarily males, is associated with seizures, delayed development, abnormal artery development in the brain, and unusual gray brittle kinky hair.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm and/or a 24-hour urine sample is collected. Sometimes a doctor performs a liver biopsy.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
No test preparation is needed.
