Internet Security Software Reviews – A Review of 3 Top Internet Security Programs

November 14th, 2011

Finding the right internet security software can be a challenge. There are many security suites to choose from; and added to that, there are many features and tools to look at too. Your starting point should be internet security software reviews written by experts and customers.

And these reviews should tell you what other customers experienced during use. And the expert reviews will inform you of the tests and ratings they’ve undertaken.

We’ve carried out reviews on all the leading security packages. And the results we’ve seen confirm what other leading sites like Top Ten Reviews show.

So we’ve included below a summary of the key features and tools we’ve found in the Top 3 internet security programs.

BitDefender

BitDefender has been doing an excellent job of protecting against malware threats like viruses, Trojans, worms and spyware threats. It has received certifications from all the major test labs like AV-Test and Virus Bulletin. And these reveal its 100% effectiveness against viruses, spyware and other malware threats.

It has a two-way firewall that you won’t find in other security programs. And this feature allows you to connect to the internet with confidence whether you’re at home, office or on the road.

One disadvantage we’ve found with BitDefender is that it lacks a few features. These missing features are online backup, file shredding and file encryption. But you can of course get these features in their premium security software, BitDefender Total Security.

Agile Software Development, 6 Advantages

November 14th, 2011

Agile development is a strategy of software development in which the process occurs though short increments. The phases of the development process occur continuously in iterative cycles, involving a requirements phase, design and implementation, testing, and reporting. Stakeholders and designers meet after each increment to discuss what has occurred, re-evaluate requirements and determine priorities. This allows for greater transparency between clients and programmers and clients have greater influence in what is being designed to ensure the product is what they want. The traditional waterfall method general involves the stakeholders at the beginning requirements phase, and then the development company takes over and designs the website. The stakeholders or clients only see the finished product, which may or may not be what they had in mind. There are many advantages to agile development over the traditional models.

1) Agile development reduces the risk of client dissatisfaction

Since the stakeholders are involved in the process the entire time, the agile model reduces the risk that the product will not meet the needs of the client. When the stakeholders are only involved in the requirements phase, they may not see that certain aspects of the design do not work or are irrelevant to their customer base. With everyone working together and continuously re-evaluating, the project is more likely to produce a useable product.

2) Allows for more change and adaptation

Internet Security Software Ratings – How The Experts Rate The Top Internet Security Programs

November 14th, 2011

Most internet security software ratings and reviews you’ll find online are written by customers. And a few others are written by comparison sites that highlight the features and tools.

These ratings and reviews play an important part in helping you find the right internet security software. And that’s because they’re based on customer experience; meaning you’re likely to get the same level of protection when you use one of these security programs.

However, there’s an even better way to finding the best internet security programs. And that’s by reading ratings from experts who actually test these security programs. They carry out independent comparative tests of internet security and antivirus software programs. And they’re widely recognised in the industry and are officially known as Test Labs.

There are about 5 reputable test labs and they are ICSA, West Coast Labs, Virus Bulletin, AV-Comparatives and AV-Test. And this is how these expert testers rate the following security programs:

BitDefender

BitDefender has been tested by Virus Bulletin and has been awarded a VB100% rating. This is the highest award they give and shows that it managed to detect 100% of ‘viruses in the wild’, without causing any false alarms. And this is one of the reasons BitDefender is considered one of the best internet security software programs.

Another expert rating agency that has tested and certified BitDefender is AV-Test. It’s a Germany-based test lab which shows that BitDefender is the best at protecting against malware (malicious software).

Online Project Management – Three Benefits of Web-Based Management Programs

November 14th, 2011

These days, business is run at high level speeds. Clients, and employers, demand more and more for less money and in less time. Being able to complete a project in time and to the client specifications is essential to success in the business world. Many project managers are turning to online project management programs to help get the job done quickly without missing any important steps in the project. Numerous benefits can be gained from web-based management programs, but there are three major ones that really stand out: accessibility, collaboration, and project tracking.

1. Accessibility

Project management software has been around for a while, but web-based management software is really coming into its own, mainly because it is so accessible. With an online platform you can easily and professionally communicate with clients, team members, employees, and sub-contractors. With privacy and admin controls, you can regulate who has access to areas of the program and the ability to make changes. The online nature of a web-based project management program creates a much more accessible instrument, because it can be accessed from anywhere, not just a computer who has the specific software loaded to it or items saved on it.

2. Collaboration

The Performance of BitDefender

One of the best things about this program is that it is very successful at protecting you from threats, such as viruses and spyware. The reason that this program is able to protect you from these threats is because it covers you fro a number of angles that other software programs do not. BitDefender will monitor your incoming emails and instant messages, which will allow the software to catch any malicious programs that may be trying to gain access to your computer through back doors. If you have an older computer, you will want to choose this product because it does not require very much of your computer unlike many other antivirus programs, which will slow your computer down during a scan or update to the point it is unusable.
