Is Popular software Safe and Secure?

Do you think popular softwares always safe and secure?

Do you think using antivirus will ensure the safety of your PC?

Think again. 

Bit9 has listed the most widely used applications with known security flaws.

A list compiled by enterprise application whitelisting vendor Bit9 found that 12 of the most popular consumer applications are being used despite having vulnerabilities that could make for compromised systems or stolen data.

The list included Mozilla Firefox (tha's why iI'm using Opera!), Apple's iTunes,Safari browser. Antivirus utilities didn't escape mention, with products from Symantec's Norton family and from Trend Micro also listed.

So, do not completely trust your antivirus vendors and popular softwares that evolves around you. Safety first ya. :-)

Google Chrome Officially Out of Beta

This new and popular Google project is now officially out of Beta! 

Means it's already final build now. It's so fast for a Google product as Gmail is still i Beta. 

What I like in Chrome is it's blazing fast and have a nice, simple interface! Haha.. But of course, Opera is still number 1 in my heart! :-p

"Since we first released Google Chrome, the development team has been hard at work improving the stability and overall performance of the browser. In just 100 days, we have reached more than 10 million active users around the world (on all seven continents, no less) and released 14 updates to the product. We're excited to announce that with today's fifteenth release we are taking off the "beta" label! "

Some improvement in final released of Chrome: 

• Better stability and performance of plug-ins (particularly video).
• Even more speed.
• Bookmark manager and privacy controls.
