Avert: Power of 8 Antivirus Engines in 1 Portable Virus Scanner Freeware

Posted: 24 Nov 2010 09:51 PM PST


No matter how hard you try or how far you go,  you can not ensure a virus free system for ever. There are many Antivirus tools that claim to detect almost all type of Worms and Trojans but still there are chances of them missing some.

One of the solution to the above problem is to have more than one antivirus application running in your system but that's not at all possible as most of the antivirus programs are not compatible to work with one another and even if you may fine a compatible match I recommend to drop the idea as it will make your system more sluggish and creepy.

Now with AVERT, a freeware antivirus application, you can ensure a secure system with more than 8 antivirus scanners scanning your files at the same time. Although the application lacks real time file scanning but there are three modes of on demand scan  that are Complete scan, Balanced scan and Quick scan. AVERT installer is only about 3Mb in size which means after installing you can download your favorite scanner and virus definition from the respective servers.

Some noteworthy points:

  1. As this antivirus does not provide a real time scanner I advice not to rely on it completely, although due to its portable functionality you can always use it as a fail safe.
  2. There can be many false detection by the program, for instance when I was testing the software Avira detected my Tata modem driver as a Trojan, so please be very sure as to what files you quarantine after a complete scan.
  3. It includes tools to backup registry, reset Windows HOSTS file and reset Windows proxy to resolve potential internet issues.

Access Linux (Ubuntu / Mint / Fedora EXT4 Partition) Folders on Windows 7

Posted: 24 Nov 2010 08:34 PM PST


When you are on Dual Boot system with Windows and Ubuntu (or any other Linux release like Fedora or Mint), it is possible to access Windows Partition folders (NTFS) on Linux but you cannot directly access Linux partition folders (EXT3 / EXT4) on Windows.

This happens because the file systems of both Operating systems are different and Windows doesn’t have native ability to read / write EXT4 File system directories. So, EXT2Read is an opensource software for Windows platform which now supports EXT4 file system too inspite of its name.

Read EXT4 Partition Folder on Windows 7

EXT2Read can access or Read EXT4 Partition Files and Folders but you cannot make changes to files,  Add or delete files, Rename, etc. Simply you don’t have “Write” previleges. Yes, the options though exists but it is grayed out in-case of EXT4. This is valid when accessing EXT2 or EXT3 partitions I guess.

So, conclusion is you can copy files from Ubuntu partition to Windows and then open. This can be done using “Save” option on right click.However, to make changes or gain “Write” access, you have to use Live CD booting.
