AVG Enables Increased Secure Cloud Experience for Amazon EC2 Users

AVG Technologies, a leading provider of internet and mobile security, today announced free Anti-virus technology for Amazon EC2 users. The preconfigured software bundled within an Amazon Machine Image (AMI) is now available on the Amazon Web Services Community AMIs list, free for everyone to download and use. AVG’s AMI consists of a hardened Debian Linux operating system with AVG’s pre-configured Anti-virus technology. Saving the time, effort and expertise needed to secure an OS and install a commercial Anti-virus product, the AVG technology can be launched, ready for use, as rapidly as any other instance on Amazon EC2. Peace of mind for business owners and website managers is what AVG is relentlessly striving for. Many Amazon EC2 users are website owners and this technology is designed for...

2011 AVG Anti-Virus Free

Endless mantra shouted by Security Suite sounds like a lot of sellers, such as "scans faster, easier to use, better performance," and AVG has released a new version is said to take all three. Of course, the scans are faster, faster to install, and some changes in the user interface easy to use. However, changes to the engine, the power to detect and remove threats has made a difficult decision to get up to independent laboratories to restore the efficacy results in later this year. AVG Free has some new protective properties of this year. The software offers what he calls "Smart Scan" which uses behavioral detection network AVG to scan for known file safe once, and only if the scan detects changes. Like its competitors, AVG network consists of its Anonymous user base provide data to the cloud....

More is too more

In 1946 only one programmable electronic computer existed in the entire world. A few years later dozens existed; by the 1960s, hundreds. These computers were still so fearsomely expensive that developers worked hard to minimize the resources their programs consumed. Though the microprocessor caused the price of compute cycles to plummet, individual processors still cost many dollars. By the 1990s, companies such as Microchip and Zilog were already selling complete microcontrollers for sub-dollar prices. For the first time most embedded applications could cost-effectively exploit partitioning into multiple CPUs. However, few developers actually do this; the non-linear schedule/LoC curve is nearly unknown in embedded circles. Today's cheap transistor-rich ASICs coupled with tiny 32-bit processors...

Some Other benefits

Smaller systems contain fewer bugs, of course, but they also tend to have a much lower defect rate. A recent study by Chu, Yang, Chelf, and Hallem evaluated Linux version 2.4.9 In this released and presumably debugged code, an automatic static code checker identified many hundreds of mistakes. Error rates for big functions were two to six times higher than for smaller routines. Partition to accelerate the schedule, and ship a higher quality product. NIST (the National Institute of Standards and Technology) found that poor testing accounts for some $22 billion in software failures each year.10 Testing is hard; as programs grow the number of execution paths explodes. Robert Glass estimates that for each 25% increase in program size, the program complexity—represented by paths created by function...

The superprogrammer effect

Developers come in all sorts of flavors, from somewhat competent plodders to miracle workers who effortlessly create beautiful code in minutes. Management's challenge is to recognize the superprogrammers and use them efficiently. Few bosses do; the best programmers get lumped with relative dullards to the detriment of the entire team.Big projects wear down the superstars. Their glazed eyes reflect the meeting and paperwork burden; their creativity is thwarted by endless discussions and memos. The moral is clear and critically important: wise managers put their very best people on the small sections partitioned off of the huge project. Divide your system over many CPUs and let the superprogrammers attack the smallest chunks. Though most developers view themselves as superprogrammers, competency...

Reduce NRE, save big bucks

Hardware designers will shriek when you propose adding processors just to accelerate the software schedule. Though they know transistors have little or no cost, the EE zeitgeist is to always minimize the bill of materials. Yet since the dawn of the microprocessor age, it has been routine to add parts just to simplify the code. No one today would consider building a software UART, though it's quite easy to do and wasn't terribly uncommon decades ago. Implement asynchronous serial I/O in code and the structure of the entire program revolves around the software UART's peculiar timing requirements. Consequently, the code becomes a nightmare. So today we add a hardware UART without complaint. The same can be said about timers, pulse-width modulators, and more. The hardware and software interact...
