PC Tools is the developer of several useful products for Windows optimization. The best of the lot, according to me, is ThreatFire, the free anti-virus solution.

I first ran into ThreatFire a few years ago while looking for free anti-virus softwares. I didn’t have money for paid software, and didn’t trust/like, cracked products.

Surprisingly, I found users posting rave reviews about ThreatFire on product neutral forums. Some rated it even higher than paid solutions. Running it for the first time on my PC promptly resulted in elimination of hundreds of corrupt files.

I’d recommend this to you if you are looking for a good anti-virus.

It’s official, Microsoft is killing Kin. Now, keeping pun-ny jokes apart, the kind that have plagued the comment section of all major blogs, it’s a sad thing indeed that such a humble phone had to die such an early death. Sure, it is no competition to phones like Droid, iPhone, etc. But then, not everyone needs a smartphone. Sometimes, all you need is a phone that looks cool. Microsoft Kin is, or rather was, that phone.

With the official announcement already having been made, expect the Kin One and Kin Two to fly off shelves quicker. Sure, the tech blogs have had no qualms about pulling punches on the Kin phones, but the fact is that both phones look pretty unique. Maybe not uber cool, but unique for sure.

Now is the best time to go out and GET A KIN ONE or KIN TWO phone for yourself. Verizon is offering both at a cent each, under contract of course.
