As most of my residential clients know, if you bring your computer in for virus removal it leaves my shop with avast Anti Virus Home on it. Avast provides a level of protection that no other free anti virus can provide. It not only keeps you secure in real time, and can scan your computer when the screen saver is running or when invoked manually, but it also has the ability to scan for viruses before Windows ever boots. This is one of the main reasons I started installing avast on residential client computers back in 2007. Well with a small bit of help from Clear Choice Computer, and a lot of other people avast Anti Virus has reached 100,000,000 users. To celebrate their acheivement they are offering 25% off of the avast Professional version, so everyone with a commercial computers can join in the celebration too. People quit waisting your money renewing your Norton, and McAfee antivirus., they aren’t that effective, and take a seriouse toll on system performance and reliability, give avast a try or better yet give me a call and i”ll come to you and install it for you

Adobe on Tuesday patched seven vulnerabilities in Flash Player, six of them for critical bugs that hackers could use to hijack Windows, Mac or Linux machines.
The company also announced it will stop issuing Flash security updates for some Mac users next year.
In a security advisory published Tuesday, Adobe briefly spelled out the vulnerabilities, using the phrase “could potentially lead to code execution” in six of the descriptions. Like Apple, and unlike Microsoft, Adobe does not assign bugs a severity or threat rating. Vulnerabilities that can be used to introduce malicious code, however, are considered the most serious — and get the highest rating from vendors such as Microsoft.
Yesterday’s update was the first for Flash Player since late July. Although Adobe committed earlier this year to releasing security fixes every three months for its Adobe Reader and Adobe Acrobat software, Flash Player remains on an ad hoc schedule.
Even so, Adobe piggybacked the Flash Player security patches with the six updates that Microsoft released the same day for Windows, Internet Explorer (IE) and Office.
The update to Flash Player 10.0.42.34 fixed data injection and integer overflow vulnerabilities, patched a pair of memory corruption bugs, plugged a hole in JPEG image parsing and resolved “multiple crash vulnerabilities,” the company’s advisory said.
