  • ZoneAlarm Suite Integrates Kaspersky Antivirus, from PC World.

    Zone Labs, a division of Check Point Software Technologies, is planning to release a public beta for ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 7.0. This is the upgrade to the 6.0 product, which ranked sixth in our All-in-One Security suite round-up earlier this year.

    While we haven’t looked at it yet, version 7.0 looks promising since Zone Labs is integrating the top-performing Kaspersky antivirus engine. The Kaspersky engine replaces a lackluster version of the CA antivirus engine that was integrated into ZoneAlarm 6.0.

  • Get jetable mail is a Firefox extension use to get a temporary email address to avoid spam via jetable.org. As soon as it is created, all the emails sent to this address are forwarded to your actual email address.

    However, this extension only supports Firefox 0.8 to 1.5. Hence I re-pack an unofficial version which supports Firefox 2.0 above.

    You could try to use it via this URL located at NCHC in Taiwan.

  • Microsoft flags Gmail as a virus

    Microsoft flags Gmail as a virus, form News.com.

    From late last week until Sunday night, the Windows Live OneCare security software incorrectly flagged the Google e-mail service as a threat.

    A warning popped up when OneCare users opened the Gmail Web site, telling them that their systems were infected with a virus called “BAT/BWG.A.

    Gamil meets OneCare

    It seems that Microsoft gotta long long way to go due to high false positive rate.
