Microsoft Security Essentials is fast and free softwares.This software is best for home purpose.AVG,Avira,Avast and Comodo Antivirus are also amazing Anti-Malware softwares. 


 (AVG and Panda Cloud made the honorable mentions list at the bottom of this guide)


Microsoft Security Essentials





Top Free Antivirus Softwares List for WindowsPROS: Quick installation and updates. Three scan options (Quick, Full, Custom) provide easy control and total protection. Real-time scanning is unobtrusive and thorough. Small system footprint with low CPU and memory usage even mid-scan. Supported by Microsoft, a company committed to keeping Windows as secure as possible. No advertisements with MSE add icing to the cake.




CONS: If your PC is not on at the start of the scheduled scan, it often wont pick up when you turn your PC on, which means you can go two or more weeks (using the standard schedule) without a full virus scan.


VERDICT: I use this on all my PCs and always put it on friends’ PCs if they have an expired version of Norton, McAfee etc. If you’re one of the shrinking group that doesn’t have this installed already, give it a try!


VERSION REVIEWED: 2.1.1116.0







Avira Free Antivirus





Top Free Antivirus Softwares List for WindowsPROS: Along with most modern web browsers, Avira comes with phishing protection (WebGuard), which helps protect you from inadvertently giving away your personal information while browsing online.




CONS: When testing, I found it gave a false positive for a utility that I’ve used for years. I know it’s not actually a virus because I coded it myself; perhaps it didn’t like my rushed coding! Bugs you about upgrading the full version (although not as much as AVG.)


VERDICT: Avira comes with all the standard anti-virus features and uses very little resources. If you’re the kind of person who uses email, browses the web, works with office documents, and not much else, this might be a good choice for you.


VERSION REVIEWED: 12.0.0.849









Avast Free Antivirus





Top Free Antivirus Softwares List for WindowsPROS: “WebRep” protects you from unwanted sharing of personal information via phishing attempts. This feature also comes with Avira and can save you the cost and time resulting in losing your identity. Provides email protection with select email clients. IM shield protects you from vulnerabilities when using Instant Messaging software.




CONS: Busy, dark interface. Multiple prompts to upgrade. Not much else!


VERDICT: Solid all-rounder designed for the tech user who doesn’t mind lots of options and superfluous information.


VERSION REVIEWED: 6.0.1367






Comodo Antivirus





Top Free Antivirus Softwares List for WindowsPROS: Couples well with Comodo Firewall and provides excellent anti-virus protection. The auto sandbox feature ensures a detected virus will never get loose on your PC.




CONS: Comodo Antivirus has a more “geek” user interface so be mindful when you install the application by reading the setup wizard panels. Using Comodo as your DNS will protect you if a site is spoofed; however, it’s important to know that you will be sending the names of each domain (i.e. mywindowspc.com) you visit for name resolution.


VERDICT: I don’t recommend this software for new users; however, if you’re tech-savvy, Comodo and Avast! are more likely to satisfy your virus fighting needs over MSE and Avira.


VERSION REVIEWED: Comodo Antivirus 2012


DOWNLOAD: Comodo Antivirus

Bouncy Content Filter for big Website

This space-saving content filter allows the users to switch from one category to the other in a fancy way! Each click fires the rotation of the gallery images, revealing the items belonging to the selected category. Content filters  are particularly useful for big websites, where each pixel counts. Lets say you are showing the “ last products ” of your e-commerce . How about giving the users the option to switch to the “most popular” products without a page refresh? A good solution could be to hide the “most popular” items right behind the “last products”, then use the power of CSS3 3D Transforms to rotate the items when the user switches from one option to the other. The bounce effect is optional, but you get the idea! The rotation won’t work on older browsers like IE9, but the experience won’t be broken – just a display on/off with no transitions. Lets dive into the code! Creating the structure We wrapped the filter into a <nav> element. The filter structur...

Content slider with Zoom Effect for a predefined area in each slide

Zoom Slider Today’s Blueprint is a simple content slider with depth-like zoom functionality. Each slide has a predefined zoom area that will be used to calculate the appropriate scale value for a fullscreen fill. Once the icon for zooming is clicked, the zoom area as well as the page get scaled, creating the illusion that the viewer is approaching the item. Once the whole page is covered, we show some more details. Navigating the slider will animate the inner parts of the slide, allowing for an independent control of the image area and the title. We are using CSS transitions and dymanic.js for moving the slide elements. Dymanic.js by Michaël Villar is a JavaScript library to create physics-based animations. Please note that we are using a couple of modern CSS properties, so only contemporary browsers are supported. The HTML <!-- Main container --> <div class="container"> <!-- Blueprint header --> <header class="bp-header cf"> ...
