Auslogics Antivirus Gets the VB100 Award from Virus Bulletin

Auslogics Antivirus has been awarded a prestigious VB100 December’11 Comparative Award by Virus Bulletin.

Sydney, Australia – January 26th, 2012 – Auslogics Antivirus has received the VB100 Award in the latest Virus Bulletin comparative review. The VB100 award is a prestigious independent security software certification that acknowledges the quality of anti-malware solutions. The latest version of Auslogics Antivirus received a RAP score of 96.6%, which is one of the highest scores among the tested antivirus solutions.

VB100 is a combination of independent security software tests that are run by Antivirus Bulletin on a regular basis. The VB100 award is awarded to antiviruses that have a proven 100% detection rate and don’t generate any false positives. Virus Bulletin runs a series of RAP (Reactive and Proactive) tests to measure the detection rates for each tested antivirus against the latest malware samples available at the time of the test. The security software is tested for handling both known and unknown malware.

“The Response tests were run cautiously in small chunks, but showed some stellar detection rates, very close to perfect across the board. VB100 certification is comfortably earned by Auslogics on its first attempt”, – states the VB100 Comparative Review on Windows 7 Professional report.

Auslogics Antivirus is compatible with Windows 7/Vista/2008/XP/2003, 32-bit and 64-bit and dual-core CPU.  Auslogics offers a free unrestricted 30-day trial version. A full one year license costs USD $29.95.

Setting Up A New PC Can Be a Headache Without PCmover®

London UK 4^th January 2012, - Post Christmas sees the Winter Sales with great offers on many new PCs. Some shoppers, however, may not realize the complications their good intentions will cause the person receiving the new PC if it is given without Laplink Software's PCmover ^®.

The problem is rooted in setting up the new PC. Most consumers are used to their old PC’s personality and don’t know how to get their new PC set up the same way. They don’t know how to get all of their data moved over, let alone find old CDs and serial numbers to reinstall all of their applications and apply all the preferred settings. That’s where Laplink’s PCmover comes in.

“Giving someone a new PC as a gift is like giving them a huge, shiny lump of coal if you don’t include PCmover,” commented Laplink’s Director of Marketing Neil Minetto. “If consumers want to waste weeks just getting a new PC set up, that’s their choice. But, they don’t have to do that if they use PCmover, period.”

The manual setup process includes:

·         Finding old installation CDs, downloaded installers and serial numbers

·         Applying preferred settings to the programs and operating system

·         Creating user profiles and setting preferences for each profile on the old PC

·         Finding Internet favourites and saving passwords and login information

The problem of setting up a new PC is perceived so poorly by consumers that many will put off purchasing one just to avoid the hassle. In a survey sponsored by Intel, out of 1,200 PC users, 39% felt that migrating from an old PC to a new PC was enough reason to delay purchasing a new PC. This is a problem that PCmover solves.

With PCmover, the setup is automatic. This includes:

·         Transfer and installation of applications

·         Transfer of operating system settings and application settings

·         User profiles setup, multiple users supported

Users will no longer have to sacrifice hours of time and suffer multiple headaches to enjoy their new PCs.

“The move is very quick and automatic so users don’t have to do more than do few clicks to tell PCmover on what to move,” continued Minetto. “After the transfer is started, you can just kick your feet up, do some shopping or go to sleep. When PCmover is done, it can send you an email or a text message alerting you that it’s finished and you can enjoy your new PC. It’s the fastest way to set up a new PC, hands down.”

Price & Availability:

PCmover is available at Amazon for SRP £29.99
