Facebook has shut down its Lite site aimed at users with slow or poor internet connections. The stripped down version of the original ran for around seven months. Facebook posted a note on its own fan page thanking those who used Lite, adding that it had "learned a lot from the test of a slimmed-down site". "I think a lot of the Facebook experience was left out of Lite, especially the monetisable parts," said Ray Valdes of Gartner Research. "The other part of this decision is probably because they have improved the performance sufficiently with the main part of Facebook and made things run better that they didn't need this back-up approach to cover a situation of low performance," Mr Valdes told BBC News. The technology blog ReadWriteWeb.com had described the Lite site as a "Twitter-like experience" of the popular microblogging service because it offered a smaller number of features than the fully-fledged site. The options on Facebook Lite we...

Internet security firm Trend Micro has said that its researchers were alerted to the discovery of a malware that came pre-installed on a Vodafone mobile phone handset. I n a statement, Trend Micro said that Vodafone has been taking the heat for packing malware straight out of the box on their HTC Magic Android smartphones. Plugging the phone in via USB into any PC quickly led to an infection by WORM_SILLY.QT, the statement added.  Trend Micro threat researcher, Ryan Flores, believes that most likely a computer in Vodafone's production line has been infected by WORM_SILLY.QT. And, because of the worm's capability to propagate through removable drives, somehow SD cards in a certain batch of smartphones were infected. The recipient of one of the malware-laden phones was, fortunately, an employee of the antivirus firm Panda Security. In an official statement, Vodafone has said that the infected phone problem was an isolated one.

The UPS guy handed me my new  iPad  just a few hours ago, and yes--the jumbo-sized screen is as glorious as they say, and I was shocked by how good HD videos looked. But I was also surprised by how heavy the iPad feels, and if you were hoping to read e-books all day under the clear, bright blue sky, well...bad news, folks. These and more iPad surprises, coming right up. 1. It screams The early reviews all said that the iPad was "wicked fast," and boy, they weren't kidding. Applications literally fly open, and browsing the Web on Safari is way faster than on the iPhone. I could get used to this. 2. It's heavier than I thought it would be  One-and-a-half pounds sounds pretty light, especially when you consider that the flyweight  MacBook Air  weighs in at about 3.5 pounds. That said, the iPad felt surprisingly heavy the first time I hefted it—not so heavy that I'm bursting a blood vessel or anything, but I'm curious to see how it'll feel after an hour or so ...

The iPad, which Apple chief executive Steve Jobs hopes will bridge a gap between smartphone and laptop, goes on sale across America from 9am.

After describing in detail what an anti-virus software is , I decided to write this post. If you still have confusions related to What actually is an anti-virus software then please first know What is an Anti Virus software? Despite the increasing presence of native security features in modern operating systems, an antivirus program is still a must-have for most computer users. If you don't feel safe enough with one antivirus though, TrustPort Antivirus is your app of choice. This antivirus tool is equipped with two powerful, well-known engines ( AVG and BitDefenfer ) that will keep your system safe while browsing the web, checking email or downloading data.

TrustPort Antivirus is heavier on resources than other antivirus apps, takes longer to update and even more time to scan. Then again, if you're willing to sacrifice speed for the safety of...

Antivirus (or anti-virus ) software is used to prevent, detect, and remove malware, includingcomputer viruses, worms, and trojan horses. Such programs may also prevent and remove adware,spyware, and other forms of malware. A variety of strategies are typically employed. Signature-based detection involves searching for known malicious patterns in executable code. However, it is possible for a user to be infected with new malware for which no signature exists yet. To counter such so-called zero-day threats,heuristics can be used. One type of heuristic approach, generic signatures, can identify new viruses or variants of existing viruses by looking for known malicious code (or slight variations of such code) in files. Some antivirus software can also predict what a file will do if opened/run by emulating it in asandbox and analyzing what it does to see if it performs any malicious actions. If it does, this could mean the file is malicious. However, no matter how useful antivirus software...
