Kaspersky Internet Security 2011

I remember last year at same period, I was testing KIS 2010. Now its time to try out KIS 2011!

First the GUI. Nothing much different but some sort of organized than previous.

All the options are categorized in easy to find manner. You'll get them where you look for them. Nice touch.

Some of advanced options are available in easy to reach order.

A very good improved feature is Safe Run mode which we can work with same system in a secured enviroment.

 

Although the interface or behavior not changed much, there's one thing that catches attention at once. The Kaspersky Gadget. A brand new features in 2011. (Windows 7 compatible) which provides easy access to scans, reports, safe mode, etc. It has 2 skins where you can choose as you desire.

And you can customize easy access items too.

That's quick glimpse of whats new in KIS 2011. Later I'll post a long review of features, functionality and whether you should by it over 2010. (Only if I have adequate time. )

MSI ships 17-inch GX740, complete with Core i7 and Radeon HD 5870.

Hoping for a new gaming laptop, are you? I'm sure you've already spent far too many hours browsing your options, but MSI's hoping that it can grab a moment of your time to demonstrate the merits of the GX740. This 17-inch beast measures a full 1.5-inches thick and weighs just over seven pounds, but all that heft nabs you a great deal of potency. Within, you'll find a 1.6GHz Core i7-720QM processor, 4GB of DDR3 memory, a 500GB hard drive, DVD burner, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 5870 GPU (1GB DDR5), gigabit Ethernet, WiFi and Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit) running the show. The panel tops out at 1,680 x 1,050, but you will get an ExpressCard slot, a trio of USB sockets as well as VGA and HDMI outputs. If your mind has been made up, you can get this one headed your way now for the tidy sum of $1,399.99.
