Cloud Antivirus : The Rethinking Antivirus !!

Guys This is aVsOnline's 50th  post........Thanks for all  supports and keep visiting to get updated

Now back to the topic , Cloud Antivirus is a new idea implemented by Panda Antivirus solutions .


What is Cloud Antivirus ?How Cloud Antivirus is different from traditional antivirus products?

Cloud Antivirus is a cloud based security solution that can be installed and managed from anywhere through a web console. Since it is a hosted service, it doesn’t require infrastructure investment. You typically have options to delegate your security management to expert service providers.
So it is essentially more about management of Antivirus in any organization that goes in the cloud. There will still be an Antivirus product installed in each PC and laptop you have. However you have options to control the updates, profiles and levels of security from a cloud based control panel. However the installed part on PC is a thin version of traditional antivirus product.

How the Cloud Antivirus is deployed?

Normally the Cloud Antivirus can be deployed in two ways. One in which the user clicks on an email which includes a link that will install the protection agent. The other way is where administrator can push the installation to workstations choosing workstations by name, IP address, IP range or by domain.

What are advantages of Cloud Antivirus?

Cloud Antivirus is service not software and so has follwoing advantages:
No installation required
Update without users intervention – always up to date
Access your account from anywhere
Reduces bandwidth consumption (as large number of workstations look for updates in traditional software)

What are Free Cloud Antivirus?

They are similar to other free anti virus but hosted in cloud. You get advantage of low footprint and up to date packages. An example of free cloud anti virus is Panda Cloud antivirus.

WordPress 2.9 released : Built-in image editor, Batch plugin update, Global undo/”trash” feature and more

WordPress 2.9 has been released with some new features like Built-in image editor, Batch plugin update, Global undo/”trash” feature and more. Before WordPress team comes up with the new full version WordPress 3.0 this is a very welcome step as these features can not wait for the full version. Here is what is new in WordPress 2.9 (Read more about WordPress 2.9)
Global undo “trash” feature: If you are ever annoyed by that “Really Delete” messagefor a post or comment – not it will be no more as Global undo “trash” feature will allow you to bring it back from the Trash. Small improvement though but it is great for those who get a lot of comments.

WordPress team has planned many imrovements in media / image handling. One such improvement will be built-in image editor that allows you to crop, edit, rotate, flip, and scale your images. So now no need to edit image outside before uploading to wordpress – just upload your image and and edit on the fly. This may make the copying of image more easier – but still it is a greate feature we want to have.
Annoyed by upgrading plugins one by one? No more hardwork as Batch plugin update and compatibility checking is now available with WordPress 2.9. With this one can update 10 plugins at once. More so there will be a new compatibility data from the plugins directory to give you a better idea of whether your plugins are compatible with new releases of WordPress.
No need to copy the embed code of video from popular video sites – just the URL will do. Now you have easier video embeds where you can just paste a URL on its own line and have it magically turn it into the proper embed code – cool! This will work for popular vide share sites like YouTube, Daily Motion, Blip.tv, Flickr, Hulu, Viddler, Qik, Revision3, Scribd, Google Video, Photobucket, PollDaddy, and WordPress.tv.

Improvements for theme developers in WordPress 2.9

There are many improvements done in WordPress 2.9 for WordPress theme developers. Some of them will have impact on the way one is planning to develop the themes. Here are some of those I like and why they will have a major impact:
Post Thubnails registration: Now themes can register “post thumbnails”. This feature will help attach an thumbnail image to the post, especially useful for magazine-style themes.
New commentmeta table: A new commentmeta table which allows arbitrary key/value pairs to be attached to comments is made available. This is similar to posts. Now this will help theme developers in a major way as they now can build themes which can be based on discussions or comments. A lot can now be done within the comment framework.
More flexibility is now available for User Registration and profiles which can now be extensible to allow you to collect things more easily, like a user’s Twitter account or any other fields you can imagine.
