June 2008 Techtips

Please try out our recommended homepage - it includes the powerful Google search engine, up-to-date local events and valuable TechTips. If you like it, why not make it your homepage!


AVG is STILL FREE & Searching is Safer!

Users of AVG Antivirus 7.5 will have recently noticed a message appearing advising them that they can upgrade to the new AVG Internet Security Suite 8.0, for a price.

Don’t despair though – you can simply upgrade to AVG Antivirus 8.0 for FREE! Just go to http://free.grisoft.com and choose to download the free version. AVG Antivirus Free Edition 8.0 boasts a refreshed look, more freedom to customise settings, and more features.

Not only do you get the free Antivirus (protection against viruses, worms and trojans), but AVG have now included Antispyware (protection against spyware, adware and identity-theft) and LinkScanner (checks for disreputable websites) into the bargain!


Resources for parents, teachers and young people

Help children and young people use the internet safely. Get Safe Online contains lots of advice and links to resources for parents, carers and teachers - and young people themselves.

New Feature: Recommendations

We are often asked who we'd recommend to buy a new laptop from or which broadband provider to go with, or which antivirus to use, so we've added a "Recommendations" page to our website (see top left). This page will feature what we feel are the best companies, retailers and software covering a range of categories. They will change from time to time as and when we feel a better company, retailer or software deserves it.
