"I can't think of any girl who wouldn't want her name on a brand of shoes!" the actress says of her first line.
(Photo: Courtesy Deichmann)
Halle Berry is stepping into an exciting new business venture in Germany. The Oscar award-winning beauty is creating her first shoe line, 5th Avenue by Halle Berry, with German retailer Deichmann Shoes.
Berry, who is a spokesperson in Europe for the German company, helped design 40 limited edition shoes in stylish designs from studded gladiator wedges to woven flats. She shot a commercial for the line in Berlin, where she modeled peep-toe wedges. In behind-the-scenes footage, she also checked out some of the new designs while chatting with Deichmann's marketing head, Andreas Conze. "I feel honored because I like all these shoes I would wear, so it's nice to be a part of something that I really believe in, that I think is a quality product to offer the consumer. To have my name on that feels really good," Halle said.
Whether she's standing tall in stilettos on a red carpet or running her daughter, Nahla, around in flip flops, Halle does it stylishly and, for her, shoes are "an expression of who you are." "Women have always loved shoes," she said. "It's like if your hair is not right and your shoes are not right, the woman is not right. If both of them are right, you're pretty much OK. Shoes are a statement."
Halle says the commercial will relate to her "real life," who she is as a person and what she does while relating her love for shoes. The spring/summer 2012 collection hits shelves in 21 European countries starting in early March, though there's no word on when they'll arrive in the U.S.

Smart, nice, fun people. Good teamwork and open office environment. No a**holes policy. Senior management is aggressive, has big vision for future of company, and puts a lot of emphasis on culture and people. Top performers seem to get promoted quickly. Pay seems competitive.
Wish it were in Boston or Cambridge instead of Waltham; no easy public transportation access. But if you live in the western burbs it's convenient. Hours can be intense at times.
Lots of ambitious people here. Keep focusing on creating growth opportunities for stars as the company grows.

I'm after a 16" wheel for my Mezzo so that I can fit it with a Capreo hub. Anyone know of any suitable rims, 32 hole, which will fit? I think Matt52 didn't get on with the Sun CR18.
Possibly a BMX rim?
Thanks in advance.

A bit off topic, but I thought Bhyte got info from Mezzo UK that the 9 teeth ring on the Capreo would cause the chain to hit the frame?
Here is a place for a rim and they can build one up for you. http://www.gaerlan.com/bikeparts/par...l/wheel16.html

Cheers, but would ideally like to source it in the UK.

Thats what Mezzo said to me, but Matt(52?) said he has fitted one. I have never seen one, but there are not that many web sources for modded Mezzo's. I think Mat is not longer active.
Interested why you are going for the cepsro?
I found this option expensive, but it may have been the lightest option, and
most simple upgrade if it does fit. Mezzo should provide this hub as an option. Or just MAKE IT FIT, like good engineers do!
I used a sun cr 36 for a dual drive on mine.The dual drive gives me more top range than the cespro, but is loads more issues to fit, where as if the cespro goes on its just a swop over.
Else IHG is vey senisable opition.

ningnangnong is the one looking at the Capreo.
I actually have an i4 and am thinking about having a 36 hole wheel built up with a Sturmey Archey 8 speed (the new one with 325% gear range) and keeping on hand all 3 gear rings of 20, 23 & 25 on hand.
I would build one myself, but am not too sure where in the USA I can get 13 Ga. spokes cut to size and am wondering if I should just build them with 14 Ga. spokes especially if they are 36 spokes. The other problem is getting a 36 hole 16" 349 rim in the USA. Can't seem to find them.
Ratdog - will it definitely fit the Mezzo hub? That might solve my problem of an easy conversion and also give me the higher gears the Mezzo so desperately need.
The SA 8 speed comes with a 135mm rear spacing. I haven't done it yet, but everything I've read says it can be done. It'll also give a tremendous amount of flexibility as far as gear range. Check your gear range using the calculator on the Harris Cycles site.
Ratdog, Gaerlan has the rims and spokes needed http://www.gaerlan.com/bikeparts/par...l/wheel16.html

Proving to be too expensive an upgrade so have decided to sell it. Thanks for all the suggestions.
Mezzo need to fix the under gearing issues, so that potential buyers dont need to.You may find if you put alot of effort in to getting a few more inches gearing what the fuss was about as one off my commutes barley users anything over standard gearing for more than 30 secounds. What are you going to get.

With 16" wheel it Looks like it will be needing a monster like a 60t chainringCog not included, uses 17-22t HG-style 9-spline cogs, 3/32" only
or a Speed drive planetary overdrive crank.. if a 17t is as small as will fit thehub
is wider range than a 3 speed .75 - 1.33360% Ratio Range (0.5 Underdrive to 1.8 Overdrive)
but if you wanted super low gears anything around 32T or larger would work ..
Maximum front chain ring limit is 56 teeth, (from Mezzo again), due to chain catcher clearance issues. A 56 t compatable chain guard is also required. However, I wonder if with a little machining to the chain catcher whether upgrading the front just might be the easiest way to go?
Or what about an 8 speed nexus? http://www.bikeforums.net/showthread...ion-help/page3
You could also go for a cheap 3X7 dual drive. I got a good lightly used one from Ebay for about £20. Its easier to fit than the 3X9 see the "dual drive on a mezzo" thread. you just need to route another cable, and a small DIY plate up for the front wheel holder

@talentryto- That is a good question. When I decided that I wanted to attract the Western Meadowlark to my yard, I let the grass that was already growing there go to seed. I also sprinkled in some grass seed that I got from a lawn and garden store that produced thick, coarse grass.
Though I don't know much about different types of grasses, I think that most varieties will produce seeds over time if you don't mow it down or trim it. The coarse types of grass also work very well, because they seem to produce a lot of seeds as well as sturdy stalks that birds can perch on.

Tried one more Shake Stout, I have this to say: It was good enough to begin with and it only got much, much better! The cascades backed off a bit and now its all about the malt balance, really good chocolaty stuff. Happy brewing to ya all.
I'm about to brew this up but am looking for suggestions on yeast. I've got slurry from wyeast 1469 west Yorkshire in the fridge in a pitchable amount. Nathan stated on the rebrew show that a well attenuating English ale yeast could be substituted in place of Pacman, or rather it could be used instead, maybe not an exact replacement. So, because I'm brewing this soon, my options are dry so5 cal ale, or this slurry of 1469. Any suggestions?
I would use up that slurry of 1469. It may be slightly different but still a very good beer. Eric

^^^ thanks for the suggestion, and I think I'm going to give it a shot and keep it cool, probably 65-66 for the first 3 days or so and then let it rip to room temp to finish up and mop up any diacetyl...unless I get an overwhelming reason not to. Edited to add: completely forgot about using Nottingham at 62f or so. Always found that yeast to be super clean at lower temps and malt forward. Decisions decisions..... Edited again to add: brewed this a few weeks ago, missed mash temp (hit 144) and figured I'd better use the 1469 slurry and hope it doesn't attenuate too far, which as of today it looks like it didn't. Hydro showed 1.015 FG and it tastes good for hot flat stout. We'll see how this one turns out after awhile in the keg once it gets there. This is my second time brewing this recipe and I've mucked something up on each go at it.... Next time I'm using pacman (if I can get it).
**** update**** And because I get disappointed when people don't update on stuff they say they'll do and then actually do.. Rant off.. Well this beer was tapped today after 4 weeks or so conditioning at room temp in the keg under a blanket of co2. While its probably not cloned, it's quite close (remembering what the real deal tasted like a few weeks ago) and I'm happy with it. I went with the slurry of 1469 and it's an awesome beer now, let alone with some time in the keg to fully carb up. Anyone thinking of brewing this recipe with a decent attenuating British ale yeast should do just that. Great refipe.
I've got an amber with pacman conditioning now, and a pumpkin spice ale with wlp002. I'm going to rinse both and store, so both are an option. Inclined to try the pacman and wondering about mash temp. Is 148 the way to go with pacman? It won't attenuate too much? The oatmeal stout in brewing classic styles uses wlp002 and mashes at 154. If 002 attenuates less than pacman, shouldn't those temps be switched? What are your experiences with mash temps and yeast combinations?
I'd follow the recipe to be honest, as I believe the beer finished quite low for the CYBI crew as it does for Rouge. I think the target FG is 1.015, and when I rebrew this beer later this fall/winter, I'll be mashing at 148f.
What's the water hardness supposed to be? 38 or 100? Is that residual hardness? Is there a more specific water profile to emulate? Has anyone toasted the oats?
so how about that water hardness that's supposed to be important? not real clear in the recipe if it's 38 or 100 ...
okay, here's what i'm shooting for – it's the "black balanced" profile in bru'n water: Ca: 60 Mg: 10 Na: 20 SO4: 47 Cl: 38 CO3: 160 thoughts?

Eastview beat Rosemount twice in South Suburban Conference play during its run to the Class 3A state baseball title. Eastview's Legion baseball team picked up two more victories over Rosemount last Thursday, sweeping a doubleheader by scores of 7-0 and 17-6 in Apple Valley. "Eastview is coming off a state championship, so they're a very quality team with a lot of pitching depth," Rosemount coach Scott Eul said. "They came out swinging the bats and making the defensive plays.
The Rosemount Senior Babe Ruth baseball team is hitting its stride just in time for the start of the district tournament, which gets under way tonight at Alimagnet Park in Burnsville. The Aces used solid hitting, pitching and defense to go 3-0 in a three-team tournament last weekend in Eau Claire. They took a 10-5 record into Monday's regular season finale at Eastview. "I think we played a good weekend of baseball at the right time.
The Rosemount Black Sox paired their already-hot bats with a couple of solid pitching performances as they stretched their winning streak to four games with a doubleheader sweep of the Lakeville Athletics Sunday afternoon in Rosemount. The Sox got six shutout innings from Michael Robohm in an abbreviated 10-0 blanking in the opener, and then Andrew Nelson and Phil Goedderz combined to yield four earned runs in a 12-6 rout in Game 2. The offense has produced 41 runs in its last four games and 69 in its last seven since losing to the Austin Greyhounds 11-1 on June 2. Jason Kirchman did the mo
The Rosemount Legion baseball team picked up its first win of the season and saw progress in the other three games it lost at last weekend's Moose Country Tournament in West St. Paul. "We played well all tournament. These are some of the best games we've played all season against some of the best teams in the state," Rosemount coach Scott Eul said. "One game we lost on one play where an unfortunate set of circumstances let in a few runs and against St. Paul Park we hit really well, we just had four pitchers who had never thrown varsity or Legion before.
A pair of unearned runs in the bottom of the seventh inning allowed Eastview to walk off with a victory and put an end to the Rosemount Senior Babe Ruth team's four-game winning streak Monday night in Apple Valley. The Aces (7-4) trailed 5-2 after three innings, but chipped away at Eastview's lead with one run in the fourth, two in the fifth and to more in the sixth to take a 7-6 lead. Reese Richards paced a 13-hit attack with a 4-for-4 effort, raising his average to .559 in 10 games this summer.
Lance Anderson notched four hits, including a fifth-inning home run, and Eric Hendricks provided another quality start as the Rosemount Black Sox improved their record to 4-5 with a 7-2 win over the Rochester Royals last Wednesday at Mayo Field. "We came in and got some good pitching and tattooed their pitchers pretty well," Anderson said. Hendricks held the Royals to single runs in the fourth and fifth innings and struck out five over seven innings.
Rachel Schow and Madeline Phillips scored points in the hurdle races to pace the Rosemount girls track team at last weekend's Class AA State Meet. Schow, a freshman, finished sixth in the 100 hurdles in her first career state meet. Her 15.15 clocking supplied four points as the Irish placed 45th out of 68 scoring teams with six points. The other two points came from Phillips, a senior, who placed eighth in the 300 hurdles in 46.43 seconds. Schow just missed the finals in the 200, where she placed 10th in a time of 25.63 seconds.
Both of the Rosemount boys track team's events finished right around their section times at last weekend's Class AA State Meet at Hamline University in St. Paul. The 4x200 foursome of Darrell Hunt, Marius Lewis, Preston Webb and Teagen Overbey placed 12th out of 17 teams with a time of 1 minute, 30.87 seconds. With Lewis injured, the other three runners combined with Christian Hummelgard for a 1:30.12 at the section meet. "We were very happy that our 4x200 relay qualified for state," Rosemount coach Jay Hatleli said.
The worst defensive performance veteran Black Sox player-coach Dave Molde can remember led to the team's fourth loss in a row in the second round of the Cannon Falls Tournament Saturday. The Black Sox committed 10 errors as they slipped to 3-5 on the season with a 17-16 loss to Hastings at John Burch Park. The Hawks blew an early 8-1 lead before once again moving ahead with four runs in the top of the ninth. "(10 errors) is the most I can remember from my 11 years on the team.
The Rosemount Aces got their offense going in the eighth inning of their season opener last Tuesday at Elko and carried it over into a 2-0 start to the season. The Aces, a Senior Babe Ruth League team, scored seven runs in the top of the eighth to rally past Elko, 9-2. Two days later they took the field at Apple Valley and pounded out 15 runs on 16 hits in a 15-8 slugfest. "For the most part it's the same group of kids that played at the Senior Babe Ruth state tournament last year. They're a year older and looking to go back there again this year," first-year coach Steve Lufkin said.

- Band Name: Caitlin Rose
- Record Label: Names
- Release Date: Mar 15, 2011
- Summary: The Nashville singer's follow-up to her 2008 EP Dead Flowers is her full-length debut disc.
- Record Label: Names
- Genre(s): Pop/Rock, Alternative/Indie Rock, Alternative Pop/Rock
- More Details and Credits »
Score distribution:
Positive: 13 out of 15
Mixed: 2 out of 15
Negative: 0 out of 15
She may have cut a slightly different path than she hinted at on Dead Flowers, but make no mistake: Caitlin Rose is the best thing to come out of Nashville in a long damn time.
Mar 14, 2011Own Side Now, her first full-length, is more serious in every way - moodier subject matter; longer, more carefully structured songs; a more robust sense of heritage.
The 21-year-old with the bell-clear vocals scarcely puts a foot wrong, sliding easily between solemn country balladry and snappy country rock. [Sep 2010, p.90]
Delivering on that precocious promise, Rose's debut long-player actually reins in her EP's feistier extremes somewhat to deliver 10 tracks of timeless, simply adorned (albeit by some dextrously restrained Music Row stalwarts) song-craft which, while they certainly doff a 10-gallon hat to the country canon, never seem constrained by Nashville tropes, old or new.
Mar 1, 2011The crooning background vocals rise and trade phrases with a simple guitar solo that follows the melody of the main vocal line. It's a flush and full sound in perfect pairing with a sentiment that defines the entire album.
Jan 10, 2011Rose still has plenty of time and room to grow, and across Own Side Now she sounds at times in search of a singular voice yet also utterly confident in her band, her arrangements, and her songs.
A missed opportunity, but there's still plenty of time to get back on track. [Sep 2010, p.92]
Score distribution:
Positive: 1 out of 2
Mixed: 1 out of 2
Negative: 0 out of 2

Best Free Antivirus Software
Other Language?

Read this article in Chinese |
In a Hurry?
Go straight to the Quick Selection Guide |
Antivirus software provides an essential layer of protection from viruses, trojans, worms, spyware, adware, dialers, keyloggers, and rootkits. However, don't let the name antivirus confuse you. These days every good antivirus has good detection rates for all forms of malware, not just viruses. The term malware includes viruses, trojans, worms, spyware, adware, dialers, keyloggers, rootkits, and any other software which performs malicious activities on a computer. Sadly, the amount of malware currently in circulation is so large that no antivirus could possibly detect all of it. Despite vendor's claims, no single antivirus solution can detect nearly all new malware. There are some products out there, including some in this review, which include technologies which are able to adequately protect a computer, but any product which relies mainly on detection is statistically doomed to fail eventually. Also, using more than one real-time antivirus at the same time uses much more system resources, can cause system errors, and can even reduce protection due to unintended conflicts. For my advice on how to compensate for these weakness of antivirus products please see my other article about How to Stay Safe While Online. Having a good antivirus product does go a large way towards adequately protecting your computer, but in this day I would highly recommend that you add additional layers to your security arsenal. Below I have reviewed some of the most effective Free Antivirus products currently on the market. In order to make this review more unbiased, although I do of course admit that my own intuition and experience does affect my judgment as well, I came up with a particular methodology for comparing these products. This methodology is described in the following section. Recent Changelog: 10/7/2014-Re-inserted explicit statement mentioning that I am a volunteer moderator (not employee) on the Comodo forums. 10/9/2014-Linked to instructions on how to make sure Bitdefender Free can be installed in English, and added MSE to list of unsuitable AV's. 11/14/2014-Added additional information about Bitdefender Free. |
Methodology For Comparing Products
The main motivation behind why I came up with this particular methodology for this review is that I value system protection against real world threats above all other categories by which an antivirus is commonly judged. It does not matter to me whether an antivirus protects the user by detecting malware, blocking dangerous sites, behavioral analysis, sandboxing, or any other approach. The most important thing is that at the end of the day your system is safe from infection. Thus, that is the attitude I have taken towards reviewing these products. My criteria is entirely based on protection, not cleaning. Therefore, if you believe your computer may be infected please first see my article on How to Know If Your Computer Is Infected before continuing to read the rest of this article. I have located reputable Antivirus testing organizations which claim to test products against situations which resemble real-world situations. I narrowed these down by further requiring that the organizations have a relatively long record of producing good, seemingly unbiased, results. The organizations I ended up with, and therefore used for this review, are: From here I looked at all tests spanning back over the last two years. However, if there were more than three tests within that range I used only the most recent three. Also, if given the choice between results from different operating systems, I chose that for the most popular operating system. At the moment Windows 7 is the most popular operating system. Also, I only considered results if it was specifically the Free Version which was tested. This is because the results for the Paid Version of the products in this review, with the exception of Comodo Antivirus (which has the exact same protection for its Free and Paid versions), are often quite different from those for the Free versions. Many marketing teams try to cloud this difference, but for the purposes of getting the most reliable information I am strict about this. Unless it can be explicitly proven that every protection mechanism is exactly identical to the free version the results for paid products are not considered in this analysis. In addition, I did not count it against any of the products if they were not tested by multiple organizations. As long as they were tested by at least one, within the above-mentioned period, they were considered. This criteria was chosen because there are many reasons to choose not to participate in a test. Thus, it should not be held against the product if they were not tested by multiple agencies. However, if they were not tested by any, this makes it impossible to compare them in an unbiased fashion. Once this data was collected, I then looked at the overall results for the Free Antivirus products discussed in this review, and ordered them mainly according to the quantitative results. However, my own knowledge of the products, and the reviews and experiences of others, were also considered. The results are presented and discussed below. |
Discussion And Comparison
Comodo Antivirus is my top pick for advanced users, or for Intermediate users who are okay with an antivirus software which will occasionally ask them for input. However, if you do not fall into those categories, or for any other reason find it to not be a good fit for you, then you will likely find my next pick suitable. Also, for those who prefer a complete solution, there is always Comodo Internet Security (CIS), which is also free and includes a firewall in addition to all other components which already come with Comodo Antivirus.
Firstly, I will note that I am a volunteer moderator (not employee) on the Comodo forums. However, this is certainly not the reason I chose this for the number one position. The reason I made this my top pick for advanced users or users who are okay with a somewhat talkative antivirus software, is because it is the only product which I feel confident saying that it will protect you against nearly 100% of real-world threats. This is because it maintains a white-list of known safe applications. Then, all unknown applications, which include all unrecognized malware, will be sandboxed and isolated from the rest of the system. Thus, this product provides very strong protection against even zero-day malware.
Comodo Antivirus also uses the cloud to facilitate the detection of the most recent malware, as do many other Free Antiviruses reviewed in this article. It will also analyze unknown applications for suspicious behavior, and alert the user accordingly. However, as mentioned previously, users who do not want a somewhat talkative antivirus should continue to my next pick. Also, by default Comodo Antivirus has small advertisements (which can be disabled as shown here). Also, please see my notes in the Quick Selection guide for advice on how to avoid unwanted software during installation.
Panda Cloud Antivirus is an excellent choice for average users, who may find Comodo Antivirus too confusing. It has a simple interface, completely automated features, access to cloud-based protection, and has been shown to be very good at protecting a computer. Panda Cloud Antivirus has a behavioral blocker, web protection, and access to cloud-based protection, all of which will help increase your security. The protection offered by this product is very strong. However, do note that it will auto-quarantine files which it believes to be dangerous.
Avast! Free Antivirus has very good protection rates. Avast has many different protection shields, boot-time scanning, a behavioral blocker, an internet site ratings plugin, script malware protection, and access to cloud-based protection. It's arguable whether their ratings plugin offers comparable levels to Web of Trust, but the script malware protection can prevent certain browser exploits, a feature not available in any of the other free AV's reviewed.
However, do note that Avast requires a free registration to function after 30 days, and the default installation installs the Chrome browser unless you uncheck it. Also, note that the OpenCandy advertising component is integrated into the Software Updater tool in Avast. More information about OpenCandy can be read here. Thus, if a user selects this option during the install they will end up with OpenCandy on their computer. My advice would be that if you want to install Avast you should not use the Software Updater tool.
AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition is also a good choice for average users. My analysis of the results, as discussed in the methodology section, does show that it does a decent job of protecting your computer. However, it appears that the above Antivirus products tend to do better. Also, it comes with advertisements (but they can be disabled).
Avira AntiVir Personal Edition is another product which has a very good reputation. However, the free version was not tested by any of the three testing organizations I referenced in my methodology. Therefore, I cannot currently recommend it above any of the previously mentioned products.
However, other comparative tests do show that it has very high detection rates for malware. Also, many users have used it and found that it is very effective. Also, Avira provides access to cloud-based protection. AntiVir is certainly a good choice for a free antivirus, but due to the lack of real-world testing, at this time I cannot recommend it above the other products in this review. Hopefully in the future they will have the free version tested by these organizations as well.
Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition is another free antivirus product which has a very good reputation. However, the free version was not tested by any of the three testing organizations I referenced in my methodology. Therefore, I cannot recommend it above any of the previously mentioned products.
The engine for this product appears to be very similar the commercial product, although there are some tweaks. However, the level of protection provided has not been shown conclusively to be identical with the paid version, which is why I did not use the results for the paid version in my analysis. Bitdefender Free has both local and cloud-based definitions. Thus, users always have access to the most up-to-date definitions. It also has an effective heuristics engine, and uses a component called the Active Virus Control to monitor applications in real-time for suspicious behaviors. In addition it also has a webshield, which seems quite effective at protecting users from both malware infested and phishing sites.
The user interface for this product is very minimalist. Thus, it may be attractive for novice users, although more advanced users may be frustrated at the lack of customization. However, it has no offline installer, and it also requires registration to continue using it past 30 days. Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition is a good choice for a free antivirus, but due to the lack of real-world testing, at this time I cannot recommend it above the other products in this review. Hopefully in the future they will have the free version tested by these organizations as well. Also, note that if you are having trouble getting Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition to install in English please follow the steps in this post.
Please help us by rating this review
End-Note: Please note that I also looked into Forticlient , Kingsoft, and Microsoft Security Essentials. However, I found that the protection offered by these products is subpar. Thus, if you are considering using Forticlient or Kingsoft I would strongly recommend that you instead consider another of the products reviewed in this article.

Take care to avoid the installation of unwanted software during installation. To do this use the customized installer button, which is on the lower left-corner of the screen during installation. Additional software, including a browser, an ad-blocking addon, and an option paid service which would allow Comodo technicians to help you with computer problems, are all included by default.
Also, I would suggest that you untick the option to Enable Comodo Secure DNS during installation. It tends to falsely block many safe pages.
Also, note that although the download page linked to above does not list Windows XP as being supported, Windows XP x32 is fully supported, although Windows XP x64 has significant limitations.
Take care to avoid the default inclusion of the Chrome browser and OpenCandy during the install process by using the custom install option. The attempt to install these will also be repeated at the program update if the automatic option is chosen.

Chiron, I installed Comodo Antivirus on my laptop with Windows 7. I plugged in a pen drive containing my software collection. Comodo detected some files as suspicious. I chose the option to ignore and add to exclusions, but this does not seem to work. Even choosing ignore once did not seem to work. It just kept on popping until I chose the option to either quarantine the file, or report it as false positive.
How do I solve this problem? It's quite annoying.
Sadly, this sounds like a bug to me. I do know that ignore once does not work correctly (even though it was reported long ago by me). However, I was not aware that exclusions does not work correctly for removable drives (which is what this sounds like). If you are able, it would be very helpful if you could make a bug report for this on the Comodo forums.
However, as a workaround, I would say that if reporting it as a false positive allowed it to work correctly, perhaps that is the best option for the time being.
Thank you.
I too had the same thought, that this might be a bug related to the file being on a flash drive.
I don't think I will be posting about it on the Comodo forum, as I do not intend to use the software for long. Strange that not anyone else has found out about this bug yet.
I am using [edited] for antivirus. Is that a good version, or does it have weaknesses? What other malware product would work good with it. I use Windows 8.1 platform.
Please do not post about commercial antivirus here. This is a freeware site, and we allow discussion of only free software. If you have queries about any of the free software, you are welcome to post. But, if you want to post about commercial software, you will have to look elsewhere on the internet.
Personally I don't use any AV on all of my machines recently and I feel pretty comfortable! No single issue for a very long period of time. As I have said many times - the use of AV software is too much overrated nowadays, especially if you are an experienced user. Moreover (just like with the cars) - I'm a big fan of performance, not of the security. There's not such a thing like "AV light on resources" - they all have impact on your system, always!...
Cheers everybody! :-D
There are some AV light on resources; I'm using Panda free Antivirus and I'm impressed by its very low usage of RAM and CPU. In this moment this is the RAM used by Panda on my PC:
PSUAmain.exe: < 1Mb
PSUAservice.exe: < 1Mb
PSANHost.exe: 11 Mb
AgentSvc.exe: 9 Mb
It actually depends on your system resources. If you're having enough resources, you won't find any lag.
Moreover I believe what you posted here is the idle RAM usage. Try starting a scan, or opening documents, installing executables, copying files, browsing internet, CPU usage etc that can also include in resource consumption.
Personally, although a small subset of users may not feel that an antivirus is suitable for them, I do believe that an antivirus still has a significant role to play in terms of protecting a computer. For a more in-depth explanation of what I believe, and why, please see this section:
of my article about How to Stay Safe Online.
I tried the latest version of Avast! (Avast 2015), and didn't like it: it is heavy and cluttered with useless stuff, it's an antivirus that tries to be cool and fashionable with social features, badges, prizes, karma and Facebook, which is not what I need from an antivirus.
At some point my computer was almost stuck: one of the Avast files was using 200+ MB of RAM and growing, and it was using at least 20% of the CPU resoruces, not sure for what reason, because couldn't tell from the user interface and it was unclear how to stop whatever it was doing. It's the kind of situation that makes me remove a software right away, because I don't like when a software does not show clearly what it is doing and ruins the performance of a computer.
Currently I removed Avast and I'm trying Panda (v. 15.0.3).
I have to agree, the new Avast! looks great and all but it just became the new AVG but its resource usage is better than AVG
The process that was causing that usage was probably the new Avast! NG. You can read about it here, http://malwaretips.com/threads/avast-ng-what-is-it-avast-2015.35640/
Its sounds good but it takes up to 2GB of my HDD space, I'm also currently trying Panda
The download link for "Panda Cloud Antivirus" is outdated, it's not working. I got it through the official website.
If I may put my two cents in, Bitdefender free edition is not a good choice.
You have to download an installer -an offline intaller simply does no exist- and the installation needs several consecutive downloads even after the installation. The first definitions update takes a while and sometimes goes wrong, so the program forces you to start the updating process again. I know this because I tried installing bitdefender on different PCs from friends and relatives, so I can say the process isn't as smooth as you'd want.
The installer does not include an uninstaller, you have to download a third party one if you ever get bored (or annoyed) by Bitdefender. Also, you have 30 days to test the product, after that period you are forced you to create a free BitDefender account or login with facebook or G+ within the app to continue using the product.
IMHO, not the best of approaches.
Agreed with the points. For the same reason, I was not able to install this antivirus on an old computer which is not connected to the internet. I was looking for a lightweight antivirus, and I thought BDAV free would be a good choice. But, lack of offline installer, and creating a free account was what put me off.
Even if offline registration was possible with it, like Avast has, I would have given it a try, after connecting the PC to internet for a while. But, given the present situation, gave it a miss.
With lack of customization, and these issues, they are really making it hard on themselves for users to be able to accept this.
360TS now has it's own new website, totally for the product: http://www.360totalsecurity.com/
Wonder if this is the prelude to 360IS being discontinued? MC - Site Manager.
Version 5.2 beta is now released. I don't understand why they are trying to make the UI similar to that of Baidu's.
There appears to be some sort of agenda in play here. No doubt all will be revealed in time. Problem is the balance of opinion is still well in favor of IS over TS. MC - Site Manager.
I thought you should know that it has gone worse, now Comodo SecureDNS completely blocks access to Qihoo's English website: http://www.360safe.com
Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/RzL2fTp.png
It's worth noting that this didn't happen before, it was only blocking the download.
Thank you for keeping me up-to-date. I have been keeping an eye on it, and I believe the number of false positives it gives is too large. I have therefore updated my information for this article. I now recommend that users untick the option to Enable Comodo Secure DNS during installation.
Thank you very much for bringing this to my attention.
it may not be a false positive. there are many corporations (one of which i worked for) that have proprietary secrets and/or negotiations ongoing for business deals. our servers were repeatedly hacked by hackers located in china. how they accessed our systems led to the banning of communist/state owned/chinese software for all employees in sensitive areas. i guess it make sense(?), i doubt the u.s. military used soviet cloud based antivirus software to secure their systems during the cold war, lol. perhaps comodo is aware of this building tension/caution within governmental and business environments.
Avast does extremely poor in File detection tests and came last.
Excellent results for Avira (Pro) and Qihoo. Panda does a fair job.
As per my methodology I only use the results from Real World Protection Tests. In those Avast has consistently been doing quite well. The issue with File Detection Tests is that they really only test what has become just one part of the job of an antivirus. These days what matters is how all of the protection layers add together to protect a system. Thus, focusing on just one, such as File Detection, doesn't really give a good picture of the protection capabilities. That is why I leave out any descriptions of file detection statistics, even though historically that used to be what was most important in terms of protection.
Let me know if you have any questions, or concerns, about this methodology. I am always looking for issues with it so that this advice can be improved.
Thank you.

Comments about Pro Comp Wheels 52 Rock Crawler Series - Gloss Black Powder Wheels:
Im sure its 4 wheel parts and not procomp, but the advertised backspace is incorrect. I ordered 17x8 8x6.5 wheels with 4.5" backspacing, as advertised on website. (Which there is no other option for other than I believe 2.5" BS) I received 4.25" BS wheels. It worked out fine, but I needed the most backspacing I could get, and even at only .5" overall width difference, it makes a difference. Otherwise, I love these wheels and have used them in other sizes as well. I bought these to go on the one ton axles under my XJ. I needed the larger rim to clear the brakes, but I really like the look of the 17" rim as well.

Dubai: Since health care in the region is undergoing massive changes, the leadership in health care conference that took place on Thursday during the Arab Health exhibition, discussed these changes and the challenges that will be faced in the future.

Leadership in health care conference addresses the future
Haya discusses the health care challenges facing the region

- Princess Haya bint Al Hussein, Chairperson of Dubai Healthcare City Authority (DHCA), gives speech at the Leaders in Healthcare conference, at Dubai World Trade aCentre and Exhibition Halls, Dubai.
The conference's key note speaker Princess Haya Bint Al Hussain, chairperson of Dubai Healthcare City Authority (DHCC) and wife of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, talked about the health care challenges faced by the region and the distinctive opportunities available from a global perspective.
"Did you know that every day in the region 2,500 children [] die unnecessarily, largely because they do not have access to adequate health care," said Princess Haya.
The conference, which ran under the theme "Addressing the Future", is considered vital to stakeholders who set the tone for national implementation as commercial viability, business models, leadership attributes and revenue generation were discussed.
"As the population matures, we are witnessing an increase in non-communicable diseases. It is a burden on the budget and needs urgent attention. Leveraging patient data, which providers have been amassing, will lead to better business decisions and generate affordable care," said Will Morris the CEO of Informa Exhibitions.
Also, in separate events at Arab Health, 2013, that concluded on Thursday in Dubai, two first-time topics on diabetes and homeopathy were introduced in the line-up.
The introduction of the Diabetes and CAM: Complementary, Alternative and Integrative Medicine conferences, according to the speakers, reflects the demand to share expertise in the fields.
Speaking to Gulf News, Dr Karim Meeran, Professor of Endocrinology at Imperial College London's Diabetes Centre in Abu Dhabi, said a surge in diabetes cases over the last two decades meant that managing diabetes in the UAE was a major issue.
He said: "Treating diabetes and its complications already accounts for 40 per cent of health care spending in the UAE."
Dr Meeran added that education was crucial. "Part of the challenge is that around half of those living with diabetes do not know that they have it. All of us, including patients with diabetes, and pre-diabetes, need education on adopting and managing a healthy lifestyle."
Speaker at the CAM conference, Dr Vaneeta Shahani, told Gulf News that increasingly homeopathy has gained acceptance. The homeopathic medicine practitioner at the Osteopathic Health Centre in Dubai, said: "The dedicated conference shows the awareness and the acceptance of alternative therapies like homeopathy. Strict regulation for CAM practitioners in the UAE have also made the profession credible."
Her focus was on treating hyperactivity in children. "In terms of incidence of hyperactivity in kids, the UAE is on a par with the global average. Figures suggest three to five per cent; through homeopathy we can manage conditions like attention deficit hyperactivity disorder [ADHD]."

EPA Releases New Emissions Limits for Residential Wood Heating Industry
On February 4, 2015, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency published its updated New Source Performance Standards (NSPS) for Residential Wood Heaters. The rulemaking marks the regulation's first major update since 1988. The rule – which would be phased in over five years – applies to particulate matter (PM) emissions from new residential biomass heating systems such as wood and pellet stoves, indoor and outdoor boilers, and forced air heaters.

Presentation Posted: Biomass Residuals and CHP Webinar
From wood residuals large and small, combined heat and power (CHP) from waste biomass is an economic and proven means of waste elimination. The benefits are indisputable: distributed biomass shrinks the radius to acquire and transport fuel sources, and can eliminate the costs of transporting and landfilling biomass waste streams. Today, technology is in place to generate heat and electricity from large to small-scale biomass in ways that are economical and efficient.

Azalea FestivalSubmitted by Smith (not verified) on Sat, 04/10/2010 - 9:07am.
I love the concept behind the Azalea Festival. Not only is spring especially beautiful here, it's also an opportunity to focus on the historic downtown area. I'm grateful for those who make this happen and know it's an incredible gift of their time and efforts. Still, I wonder if it's time for a re-visioning of what this is about. The concerts and tours are cost prohibitive for most folks. Could we offer free tours and educational activities in several buildings, museums and homes downtown? We have a few small green areas downtown with gardening & educational possibilities, a children's museum, history & ghost tours, etc. We could create a historic 'theme park' downtown,with costumed characters, re-enactments, rather than parade characters that have nothing to do with Wilmington. Re the food vendors, I'd like to know how many are local. If they're not, would it be possible to limit foods to local specialties and caterers? We have such a rich and diverse restaurant community..why offer funnel cakes? why not support local businesses and the theme of spring, azaleas, history and community? »
