Portable AVG Antivirus 7.5.476 Free | 27,6 mb

Though not as well-known as some competitors, this antivirus program offers rock-solid protection. AVG Anti-Virus Professional provides all the necessities, including a tool for scanning your hard drive and e-mail, as well as a real-time shield to prevent infections. You'll find a full-blown scheduling utility for automating tasks and checking for new definitions as often as you'd like. Other perks found in this Pro version include technical support and the ability to run on multiple operating systems. Should a virus create serious system problems, AVG creates a rescue disk to scan your computer in MS-DOS mode. The program doesn't tax your system when scanning or when running in the background, and it always proved effective in our tests. The interface can't be described as beautiful, yet it is mostly simple to navigate. Though the free version of this program will suffice for average folks, those who demand more control should certainly consider AVG Anti-Virus Professional.

This portable version of AVG which is my study has an important advantage for a portable antivirus. It easily updates-with one click.
So, although it begins as 7.5.476 version at first run, it becomes 7.5.484 after first update for now.

F-Secure Client Security v7.10 Build 209 | 56.11 Mb

New fast-spreading threats are on the rise as virus writers seek for financial gain. Modern professional cyber-criminals want to stay unnoticed, and they are using advanced technologies to hide their creations from data security solutions. Their attacks are also more targeted, thus a single company or computer might be the recipient of a specific malware assault. And if the antivirus cannot detect it, nobody does. For example, a hiding spyware can cause severe damage to companies by sending out confidential information and lowering computer performance and productivity.
Modern Internet threats require proactive protection and the monitoring of suspicious software behaviour in the systems combined with traditional signature-based protection.

F-Secure Client Security v7.10

What is new in this release:

* Windows Vista support

* Reduced memory consumption
The product has now been optimized to use less memory. There is a significant decrease in the amount of memory consumed. This shows as improved overall performance.
* Internet Shield IPv6 support
IPv6 support in Internet Shield is now two-fold: the minimal Internet Protocol version 6 support enables user to block all IPv6 traffic if needed. This has been extended with ability to create firewall rules and handle IPv6 alerts in application control for IPv6 addresses. This extension is limited to Vista only, while the minimal support is available on all supported platforms.
* Updated identification and removal of conflicting programs (sidegrade)
Sidegrade has been updated to include more common conflicting products, and cleaned from the unnecessary removals that would not cause conflict with our software.
* New manual database installation tool
A new tool for updating protection databases manually, called fsdbupdate, installs all the latest database updates for customers with a valid subscription.

The most common way to present a model, to a client, supervisor or on a demo-reel, is to create a turntable animation. This tutorial demonstrates a simple, yet effective, solution for creating dynamic turntables. Utilizing Maya's two-node camera motion path animation provides a flexible way to move the camera around the model. Precise and cycling rotations are combined with a moving camera, to allow for various views of the model in a single turntable. We begin the tutorial by creating a three-point lightrig using raytraced shadows and Mental Ray.
