TotalMedia Theatre 6.0.1.123-High-definition movie viewing
Download
TotalMedia Theatre is a slick, professional-looking media player that specializes in rendering your videos in the highest quality possible.
For all its intimidating appearance, TotalMedia Theatre is actually very easy to use. The bottom of the interface has the usual play, stop and pause buttons, along with a folder icon where you can open the movies to be played, whether they are saved files or discs. TotalMedia Theatre deals with a wide range of formats, including high-definition types such as Blu-ray. When the screen is maximized, the control fades after a few minutes to enhance viewing, and a pop-out remote is also available.
TotalMedia Theatre has intermediate-level configuration options that shouldn't pose too many problems. You can tweak audio and video settings, as well as setting parental controls and a password so they can't be altered. TotalMedia Theatre also has some good power settings, so you can use your laptop without worrying about the battery. If you are looking for a user-friendly and attractive movie player, TotalMedia Theatre might well be the answer.
TotalMedia Theatre provides a great player for fans of high-definition formats, but with one sole function, seems a little limited.

Microsoft Security Essentials 4.3.216.0-Free and simple antivirus software from Microsoft
Download
Operating system, web browser, media player... Microsoft had everything covered, except for a security application. Until now, with the release of Microsoft Security Essentials.
After some months in beta stage, Microsoft has launched the final version of its security application, though I have to say Microsoft Security Essentials hasn't changed that much in the final release. It still features a simple, clear tabbed interface with four main areas in which the user can take a look at the system's security status, update virus and spyware definitions, check the history of previously detected items, and tweak the program's settings, respectively.
Microsoft Security Essentials includes three types of scan - quick, full, or customizable. They can be scheduled to run at a give time or particular location, and can be modified to work when the computer is not actually in use. Handily, Microsoft Security Essentials automatically updates its database, and is fully integrated with Windows Explorer and the Windows Firewall. It also boasts a system restore point, in case you need to undo any over-enthusiastic cleaning.
Microsoft Security Essentials is Microsoft's first attempt at a standalone security application for home use. Given its simplicity and suitability for beginners, it probably isn't the best choice for more advanced users or professional network administrators, but for the average user, it covers all the bases. Bear in mind, however, that Microsoft Security Essentials doesn't disinfect files - it only deletes them in case of infection.
Microsoft Security Essentials is a gentle introduction to the sometimes complicated world of home computer security.

SMPlayer 0.8.5.5570-Multiformat video player that doesn't need codecs
Download
One of the most frustrating things about video playback is when you don't have the right codecs installed. SMPlayer attempts to do away with this problem completely by attempting to play videos regardless of the codecs they need.
SMPlayer uses the MPlayer engine, which the developers claim can play almost all video formats. In reality, this is not always the case. What you may find is that if you're trying to play a WMV file protected by DRM for example, you will see snippets of the film but not the whole thing.
However, SMPlayer has many other great features that make it an interesting proposition. One of the most useful is the way it remembers most of the settings of files that you play a bit like a DVD Player. If you turn off a film because you're a bit tired, when you open it later in SMPlayer, it will start from exactly the same point where you left it with all the original settings including subtitles and audio.
Another area where SMPlayer excels is in subtitles. SMPlayer allows you to choose subtitles in a variety of formats allowing you to choose the font, size, and even colors.
There are many other great aspects to SMPlayer - audio track switching, mouse scrolling and multiple speed playback - that on top of it's codec free playback, make it an excellent choice.

SUPER 2013 build 57+-Simplified universal player encoder and renderer
Download
SUPER is a useful media tool that both encodes and renders media files into a variety of different formats.
The evolution of computers reveals a trend toward multimedia desktop apps where users can listen to music, watch videos, surf the net, work and view photo albums.
If you’ve gotten hold of media files, you’ve probably had to convert the files to transfer them on a different device or in order to play it in another application at one time or another.
SUPER makes audio and video conversion a breeze thanks to a well presented interface and a slew of options.
SUPER’s single window interface is divided into audio and video and the selection of output options is done via the three dropdown menus at the top.
There are quite a few formats available. SUPER allows you to convert movies and music to play on recent devices such as Apple iPod, Sony PSP and 3gp for use on Sony Ericsson and Nokia mobile phones.
The huge bit rate menu, from 64 to 9792 Kbps, means you can truly optimize and quicken the conversion process. Unfortunately, SUPER only offers 2 video codec outputs (H263 and MPEG-4) and 3 audio codecs (AAC, AMR wideband and narrowband).
On the audio side, SUPER allows you to select your language from individual tracks, but audio is limited to one channel and one sampling frequency (8000).
It seems SUPER is more suited to video conversion. Luckily SUPER includes recognized encoders such as ff mpeg or mencoder, ensuring a decent conversion process for both audio and video.
Use the buttons at the bottom of the interface to play files and check their quality after having converted them. The Player Options button gives you the chance to tweak video features such as aspect, saturation, hue, brightness and contrast.
All files converted or waiting to be converted are visible in a list and you can verify the streaming link and output status.
SUPER is a very open media converter that even the klutziest of users will find easy enough to use.

Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder 1.1.5-Schedule screen recordings
Download
Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder is video capture software that will allow you to record your computer’s screen or audio. With only a few simple tools you can decide which parts of your computer are captured and converted. Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder is a great piece of software for screencasts, screenshots, and audio.
Features
With Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder you can record your desktop, take screenshots, or record audio. With the screen record option you can select from recording the entire screen, specific regions, focus around the mouse, or take web cam input. For audio you can pick to record desktop sounds, speak through your microphone, or combine both. Default formats for video is WMV, and for audio MP3, OGG, WMA, or WAV can be selected.
Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder can also set up tasks that automatically record for you. You may schedule a certain time of day, the duration of your recording or specific stop date, and if you are capturing video (including regions) or audio. You can also set if your computer shutdowns automatically after Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder finishes.
Usability
Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder has a very basic yet intuitive design. When the app is first opened and no files are in the output folder the file window will be hidden. After your first recording this window will expand, causing Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder to become larger in size. Each button has a simple drop down menu to adjust settings. There are rarely any detailed settings windows, except when scheduling tasks. One annoying aspect of Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder's UI are false buttons that you might expect to open new options and menus. Instead these are just fancy links to Apowersoft’s website placed in deceptive locations.
If you select region recording, an overlay will cover the screen, allowing you drag a desired rectangle sized space. If you’re unhappy with the rectangle size you can move it around, adjust pixel width and height, or select a preset from a drop down menu. Before recordings you can set up a countdown to prepare your screen, as well as audio beeps when a recording starts and stops.
Quality
Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder has a very minimal appearance, often times you may forget it is even open. When not recording it simply looks like a black and off-white bar. The miniature design works well as you rarely want a large abrasive UI while recording. You can also choose to hide most all of Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder’s toolbars to further increase its stealth.
Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder doesn’t cause any obvious slow down while it records, allowing you a smooth capture session as you open other programs and web pages. Quality of finished recordings is generally high and files are compressed to low sizes. There can be visual problems when using the area around mouse option, but only if you select a resolution under 640x480.
Conclusion
Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder is a great way to capture your screen for screencasts and audio. It only supports WMVs, but the quality of recordings is good with compact file sizes. Apowersoft Free Screen Recorder can set up captures at specific dates and automate shut downs, making handy for daily recording. Just remember that several buttons are links and not options.

MKV Player 2.1.7-Basic video player for MKV container files
Download
MKV Player is a free video player that lets you watch MKV files on your computer - as well as other audio and video formats.
The program is meant to be really simple in appearance and functionality. MKV Player consists of a single window with playback buttons and a timeline to move along the video. The buttons are non-standard; they feature words instead of the typical symbols – meaning you see "Play" instead of the traditional right-pointing arrow.
The settings in MKV Player are scarce and difficult to use. They’re hidden in a drop-down menu below the video screen, and only let you tweak video speed, subtitle delay, and file association. There are no equalizer or video effects, like you find in VLC Media Player . The program is not documented either.
If playing audio and video files is all you need to do, then MKV Player will be enough. If you’re looking for a more sophisticated piece of software, with more options and tools, you probably need to look somewhere else.
MKV Player is a very simple MKV video player with support only for the most basic functions.

ArcSoft MediaConverter 8.0.016-Super simple, one step media conversion
Download
ArcSoft MediaConverter is an all-in-one conversion tool for audio and video files.
ArcSoft MediaConverter aims to be really easy to use! Simply drag the file you want into the main interface, pick your device and hit Start. There are lots of device profiles to choose, from iPods to YouTube and PSP to the Wii.
You can also choose format profiles, like MP3, AAC and so on. Every ArcSoft MediaConverter profile can be set to high quality or normal, depending on how much space you want your converted files to take up.
ArcSoft MediaConverter is ideal for people who don't want to worry about formats and so on, as it accepts most popular formats and doesn't require any technical knowledge at all.
For others, however, ArcSoft MediaConverter may be annoying - not being able to properly set up bitrates and so on for conversions isn't good. The MP3 'high quality' setting is only 256 Kbps, which is lower than the current web-standard of 320 Kbps for good quality MP3s, for example.
ArcSoft MediaConverter is a simple way to convert pretty much any video or audio file to fit a huge variety of digital devices.

Adobe Audition 6.0-Professional audio editor and post production suite
Download
Adobe Audition started life as a simple audio editor called Cool Edit Pro until Adobe saw that the big money was in music creation software.
Adobe Audition is a multi-track recording studio that offers all the refinement you expect in Adobe products but may leave beginners floundering in technical jargon.
After the initial installation, Adobe Audition searches for compatible audio formats on your hard drive but asks you which file types you want to associate with it. Otherwise the program would detect every single sound file on your hard drive meaning your Adobe Audition library would be a jumbled mess.
Adobe Audition's interface is clean, with the active window highlighted by a red border. Each window is separated by tabs to keep the File, Effects, Main and Mixer sections separate and easy to revert to. If you don’t like the layout then Adobe has provided an Unlock Panel option which allows you to detach and move these windows to a position of your choosing. You can save your own rearrangements as workplace templates according to the type of project you are working on.
To really get the most out of Adobe Audition, you’ll need a pretty good sound card. For those concerned with MIDI support, Adobe Audition doesn’t offer a great deal in this area and many users report this as one of the most confusing aspects of the program to configure.
To describe all the editing possibilities of Adobe Audition would involve going into the minute technicalities of audio composition and compression but there are four main modes to get to grips with. The first is Waveform Display which displays the wave in graphical form. Second is Spectral Frequency Display which graphically displays the frequency range with colors. Logarithmic Display does exactly the same but obviously displays the wave as a Logarithm. For producing stereo-sound, there’s also Spectral Pan Display and Spectral Phase Display which enable you to get stereo sound perfectly synced.
Editing is performed using the time-honored cut and paste functions common to most audio and video editing programs. You simply mark an in and out point and cut and paste the audio until it’s as you want it. However, the Adobe Audition is much more advanced than this as it's able to detect beat patterns and rhythms and set in and out points accordingly. To use this function though, you’ll have to spend a long time studying the Help guide (which fortunately is very clear and detailed). You can also use a relatively new function in the audio editing field called Frequency Space Editing which means you can edit certain frequencies of the sound rather than the wave as a whole. There are also of course a heap of effects that you can apply to sounds ranging from complex distortions to pitch bending specific frequencies.
Adobe Audition has been updated with a host of new features. Pick of the bunch is probably the way Adobe have improved multitrack editing, added new effects and enhanced noise reduction. They've also added phase correction tools plus VSTi virtual instrument support and native 5.1 surround support. The multi-track editing suite has been improved to save time and maintain consistency by grouping clips into a Multitrack View. From here you can trim and fade much more easily. You can also batch save all audio files applying specific file formats, locations, filename templates, and more.
Adobe Audition is a very advanced program designed only for those who are serious about multi-track audio production. If you are looking for a simple sound editor, then this is way too advanced and will only leave you frustrated. If however you want to take your first few steps into professional editing, the extensive Adobe help guide will ensure that you get the most out of this rich and complex program.

Download
Comodo Internet Security is a complete suite that includes an anti-virus, a firewall and a set of tools which, under the name Defense+, protect your computer from intrusions, malware and other possible threats.
All the tools in Comodo Internet Security come conveniently bundled in a single interface, where they're easily managed and configured thanks to a clean tab menu. The program is complete as regards configuration options and customization settings, but at the same time it looks easy enough for the average user.
There are some nice details in Comodo Internet Security that I especially liked: the possibility to import and export your settings, the ability to create lists with your trusted and blocked apps to make the program less intrusive and also the community features, which enable you to report suspicious files and browse support forums directly from the program.
I must say Comodo Internet Security has made a very good impression on me. My only complaint, if any, is the time it takes to configure it properly. The first few days you'll be constantly receiving alerts until the program gets to know every trusted app. But that's something common in all security apps and besides, Comodo Internet Security makes up for it.
With Comodo Internet Security you'll be fully protected from all online threats: viruses, unauthorized accesses, spyware and more.

Uranium Backup 8.7.3-Uranium Backup
Download
We constantly hear about the importance of creating backup copies of all our important documents, in case someday our computer happens to die. So if you've finally decided to follow this wise piece of advice, you can start with Uranium Backup.
This backup application will help you create security copies of selected files and documents and save them in different locations, including network units, USB devices and removable hard drives. Of course, you can also backup to another folder in the same drive, but that wouldn't be very smart (if you lose that hard drive, you lose both the original and the backup copy).
The most outstanding feature in Uranium Backup is that you can schedule those backups to be run at specific days and times. The scheduling menu has lots of options so you can easily have your backups done when you're not using the PC and thus it doesn't disturb your work.
On the downside, this freeware version doesn't include other interesting features like the ability to save backup copies to an FTP drive, a CD or a DVD.
Uranium Backup is a simple, easy-to-use backup tool you can use for your security copies, provided you don't need FTP support.

Nokia Music For Windows 8 1.0-Stream or download music mixes
Download
Nokia Music for Windows 8 is a desktop version of Nokia’s streaming radio service available on Windows Phone 7.5. Similar to Pandora and Spotify, Nokia Music allows unlimited audio streaming of “Mixes” categorized by artist or genres. You can also download Mixes for offline use or use Nokia Music for local music on your computer. While Nokia Music for Windows 8 has a $3.99 monthly subscription, there is a seven day free trial that includes all features.
How it Works
Nokia Music uses streaming Mixes which are similar to Pandora. You cannot select specific tracks for on demand listening. Instead, each Mix is a radio station that focuses on an artist or genre and provides similar sounding tracks. You can browse through Nokia’s premade Mixes or create your own. The default Mixes include various genres, top charting music, recommendations from popular musicians, sponsored music, and more. Nokia’s library is large and includes various genres of music, standup comedy acts, and songs from TV ads. If you are not a subscriber you will be limited to only 30 second previews per track, which is far too short. Subscribers will be able to listen full length tracks.
Creating your own mix is much more limited as you can only search by artists and not other categories such as genre or time period. You can also only add in three artists at most, resulting in a limited selection of music. On the plus side any Mix, premade or your own, can be downloaded for offline listening. Offline tracks are unfortunately disabled for non-subscribers. If you’re not satisfied with Nokia’s selection of music you can also use the app to listen to your own local files.
How it feels
The layout is comprised on large and medium sized tiles grouped into sections. The sections of Nokia Music include the track you are currently listening to, previously Mixes, default Nokia Mixes, your own creations, downloaded music, and local music. On the main track page there are buttons to display a song’s lyrics or open a menu with the band’s information. Depending on the artist, this can include a bio, image gallery, their Twitter feed, upcoming shows, similar artists, and Mixes they appear in. This is a wealth of information that will help you learn more about bands and discover new music.
Right clicking on Mix will provide buttons to download the track, buy it from Nokia’s store, or remove it from the front sections. The options menu includes changing accounts, updating subscriptions, providing feedback to Nokia, troubleshooting, and permissions. Settings allow you to adjust audio quality based on your connection type (Wifi or mobile), permission to send personal data back to Nokia, display wallpapers, and if the app runs is allowed on the Lock screen. Nokia Music subscriptions are relatively new, yet the amount of options is surprisingly plentiful.
Quality
Nokia Music’s wide selection of music and comedy is very impressive. The quality of streaming audio is decent at 192kbps for all tracks. Downloading music is generally fast, although you can suffer delays and pauses in streaming if you download several Mixes at the same time. Music with offensive lyrics are either listed with a clear “Explicit” icon or are completely censored with more broadcast friendly versions. The latter is very surprising for an online streaming service. In most cases all of Nokia’s library is clean and there is no setting to listen to adult versions.
Accessing Nokia’s library requires either a Nokia account or Facebook along with a monthly subscription fee; this is also on top of the normal Microsoft account to run the app. Surprisingly, if you sign up with Facebook Nokia Music will not update your activity or provide any form of social linking. Without a subscription you will be limited to short 30 second clips and cannot download music.
Final word
Even though you need a subscription and cannot access on demand music, the app still provides an amazing selection of music and comedy as well as the ability to download Mixes. The amount of additional data about artists and lyrics helps to connect you to the music. Try out Nokia Music’s free trial to listen to a diverse assortment of music.

FL Studio 11.0.2-A complete virtual studio to create your music
Download
FL Studio is a powerful music editing studio for your PC. Previously known as Fruity Loops, FL Studio has been transformed from a MIDI sequencer to a fully-fledged audio editing application. There are plenty of reasons why you should download FL Studio and start using it to make music on your computer.
Interface
Let's first take a look at the FL Studio interface. Users familiar with FL Studio will instantly recognize the dark green tone and rounded windows of past versions. However, the structure of the program can be difficult for a first-time user to grasp.
The browser window on the left is your resource for any file you will need, from presets to projects and scores. Clicking on an item will open up a drop down selection of specific elements.
This library can be filled with more of your own loops and samples and carries an impressive amount of plug-ins like DirectWave, EQUO or Fruity Squeeze. FLStudio has a smart search function to quickly find any track, tool or effect.
Usability
To edit your tracks with FL Studio you can use the original pattern window, which contains all the instruments you have selected. You will have to create the pattern desired for each instrument.
You can also use the playlist window, divided into patterns at the top and audio tracks at the bottom. The playlist view features a handy paintbrush tool to color in your pattern. You can also decide to edit your tracks with the piano roll view, quite handy if you have a midi keyboard plugged in.
Anyone interested in connecting real instruments will appreciate that FL Studio also handles multiple midi-ins and features foot pedal sustain support. The FL Studio mixer features a good number of presets and you can fine tune your track with a high degree of precision.
Quality
FL Studio can be tricky at first; however those familiar with sequencers should have no trouble with it. All instruments and samplers are stereo, so to have multiple outputs you will have to create the desired number of instances.
Conclusion
FL Studio is a very good sequencer for anyone looking to create beats. The handy browser view and multiple editing windows like playlist, piano roll or pattern let you work how you feel best. A finely-tuned mixer and a large library of plug-ins also make this a very exciting audio editing application.

Ashampoo MP3 Cover Finder 1.0.7-Find album covers for your MP3s
Download
Ashampoo MP3 Cover Finder lets you find album covers for your MP3s online, as well as letting you upload personalized ones in JPEG format.
Get covers instantly
Ashampoo MP3 Cover Finder searches the internet to find album covers for your MP3s. All you need to do is type in the name of the songs you want to find, and hit the Search button. Soon, you'll see the covers of the songs and albums, coming from sources such as Amazon, iTunes, Google, Bing and others. It just takes a click to apply the covers to your albums.
If you're feeling more creative, Ashampoo MP3 Cover Finder allows you to create your own album covers by uploading an image that you already own. The app also allows you to categorize your music by title, artist, album, year and genre, as well as supporting the editing of ID3 tags.
Finally, Ashampoo MP3 Cover Finder has a built-in MP3 player, but bear in mind that it's pretty limited.
Everything's just a click away
Using Ashampoo MP3 Cover Finder is very easy, and all the main functions are clearly displayed on the main interface, which in turn is clearly laid out and has large, easy-to-see buttons.
The interface is sub-divided into 3 columns. On the left are the songs and ID3 tags, in the center are the album covers, and on the right are the album covers the app has found online.
About that system load...
We found this app to be quick and smooth in testing. It found all the covers we asked of it, and we were pleased with the results. That said, we though the consumption of system resources, which was quite high, could have been improved.
Our opinion
If you're the type who likes to have his or her music collection perfectly ordered, then Ashampoo MP3 Cover Finder is the perfect app for you. It works very well, and is easy on the eyes to boot!

MediaInfo 0.7.64-Obtain detailed info about audio and video files
Download
There are so many video and audio formats that sometimes you need a helping hand just to know which codec you need to play that darn file that won't open up in your multimedia player.
This is where MediaInfo comes in handy, by analyzing any media file you open with it and displaying a complete report with all the information available about that specific file. The information displayed by MediaInfo includes basic data such as file name, playtime, file size and the likes, as well as more specific details like used codec, bitrate, channel, sample rate and resolution, among others.
The information provided by MediaInfo can be displayed in a variety of ways, from a basic data sheet or plain text to a tree-like structure or an HTML document. It can also be exported to a file but surprisingly enough MediaInfo doesn't include an option to obtain a printed copy.
Another thing I missed in MediaInfo is the possibility to obtain more information from the Internet (a web link would have been enough) or being able to download the necessary codec if it's not present in the system.
With MediaInfo you can obtain a complete report on any audio or video file, display it in several ways and also export it to several formats though it doesn't support printing and lacks some advanced functionality.

Download
Do you find yourself often looking for a program to burn videos, manage photos, create music compilations or print disc labels? Then look no further, because CyberLink Media Suite has all those tools, and many more.
CyberLink Media Suite is a complete multimedia suite that features all the applications you need to make the most of your multimedia library. Among many other tasks, you'll be able to burn personal music collections on CD or DVD, create backup copies of your most important files, and design photo slideshows to share with family and friends.
All the tools included in CyberLink Media Suite are conveniently organized in a sleek dark main menu. All you have to do is search for the particular task you want to do ("watch a DVD movie", "back up your PC", "make an audio CD", "manage photos", etc.) and then launch the corresponding application. The main menu also includes a special Favorites section where you can add shortcuts to your most frequently used apps.
What does CyberLink Media Suite include? As a starter, you'll find a powerful recording tool, Power2Go, with which you can burn data CD and DVD, burn your own music compilations, and create backup copies of important files. Another outstanding app is PowerProducer, which lets you create video discs, burn HDV/DV videos and create video and photo compilations. If you want to create a fully customized slideshow with soundtrack, transition effects and all the bells and whistles, then your best choice is MediaShow. Finally, PowerDVD Copy and PowerBackup also deserve a mention, allowing you to copy non-protected DVD movies and create security copies of your sensitive data respectively.
CyberLink Media Suite is a complete package with high-quality tools, perfect for the average user. That said, we think that more advanced users will probably find the vast suite overkill – the tools are great, but are you really ever going to need them all?

McAfee Stinger 11.0.0.382-Detect and clean a variety of specific virus types
Download
Stinger is a minimalist antivirus application from McAfee designed to take care of specific threats that might be lurking on your computer.
Don't make the mistake of thinking that Stinger is a general antivirus. It's not - it's more of an extractor for a list of over 3,000 viruses specified by McAfee. The list is viewable from the program interface and, as with any other antivirus, you should try and keep Stinger as up to date as possible.
Stinger is very basic. Add the paths that you want to scan and hit the red Scan Now button. The program works quickly, summarizing results in the interface window. By default, Stinger will repair any viruses it finds, and you can export scan results under the File menu.
The Stinger configuration options are limited and quite advanced - you'll be able to specify what you want the program to do when it finds a virus, if you want to see a list of scanned files on the interface and an assortment of options relating to virus detection. Stinger is not a user-friendly program, but then again, it's not developed for your average user. If you are experienced, however, you'll find Stinger to be a helpful tool in your antivirus toolbox.
Stinger - low-key, focused virus detection.

Avira Free Antivirus 2013 13.0.0.3737-Efficient, powerful and free antivirus software
Download
Years ago, a free antivirus was often a synonym of poor protection. Nowadays, thanks to programs like Avira Free Antivirus 2013, this perception of free antivirus has improved a lot.
Avira Free Antivirus 2013 is the free – for personal use – version of Avira Antivir Premium ; this means there are a few advanced features unavailable, like the virus filter for email or for web browsing, but the program is as powerful and efficient as its big brother.
Avira Free Antivirus 2013 installs in a few seconds and starts protecting your system in real time right away. It includes all the tools and options you would expect from an antivirus these days, such as different types of scan, support for scheduling, automatic updates, and a quarantine area for suspicious files.
On the downside, Avira Free Antivirus 2013 is let down by a somewhat rough interface that feels like it was designed ten years ago and never restyled: simple to use, but too plain.
Looking for an efficient, uncomplicated antivirus tool? Avira Free Antivirus 2013 may be a good choice.
