Custom Made USB Flash Drive

Want to make your own USB Flash Drive with your unique company/personal logo on it? CustomUSB offer a service where you can make your own USB flash drive with low price. It is a good opportunity for any organizations or companies to promote themselves. And even if schools or universities want to make a big event, they can promote it by giving the flash drive as door-gifts (I don’t think so :) ).

CustomUSB offer up to 16Gb of storage for flash disk and for external disk they offer up to 500Gb. 500Gb? Hmm…what you will do with 500Gb space anyway? Well I think this is another great way to promote events or organizations.

    15 Viruses Detected

    I have replaced PC-Cillin Internet Security 2005 with Kaspersky Personal Pro 5 for my old PC. It detected 15 viruses which PC-Cillin can’t detect. I don’t know what the problem with PC-Cillin. It can’t detect although I have updated it. But Kaspersky works great.

    AVG vs Kaspersky vs BitDefender

    Semua test ini dijalankan kat computer aku la. So, maybe tak sama ngan ape yang berlaku kat computer korang.
    System: Windows XP Pro SP2
    Memory: 512Mb DDR2
    Hard Disk: 120Gb SataII
    AV Update: Secara manual je coz computer aku takde internet

    AVG Professional
    Space usage: 32.07Mb
    Memory usage: 17.81Mb

    Kaspersky v5
    Space usage: 13.71Mb
    Memory usage: 33.40Mb

    BitDefender v9
    Space usage: 36.37Mb
    Memory usage: 26.65Mb


    Gune memory sikit je walaupun die ade Virus Shield. Computer aku pun dapat load up ngan pantas sekali. Takyah nak tunggu lama2. Cara nak update secara manual pun senang je. Just download definition ke dalam folder kite, then pilih folder tu semasa kite nak meng’update. Senang r berbanding ngan BitDefender nyer (akan diterangkan kemudian).
    Tapi kalau nak bukak Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, etc), akan memakan masa sebab AVG integrate ngan Microsoft Office. So, die akan scan program Microsoft Office tu dulu, then baru la die open Microsoft Office and file tersebut.
    Kekurangan AVG ni adalah (seperti mana pemahaman aku r yang aku baca kat internet), die tak lepas Level 2 di mana die tak dapat disinfect virus tu walaupun sebenarnye virus tu boleh disinfect.

    Serial untuk AVG Professional Edition: 70-THXMV1-P4-C15-S5XFN-QFP-IX3X


    Gune memory yang banyak (tapi tak r banyak sangat) sebab die ade Real-Time Protection di mana die akan scan system file dalam sela masa tertentu. Kalau ade RAM yang banyak, maybe tak akan mengganggu sistem pun. Tapi kalau kurang, maybe akan kacau kot. Walaupun aku nye computer leh kata ada banyak RAM, tapi computer aku lambat mase nak load up nak masuk ke Windows tu. Tak r lama sangat tunggu. Tapi leh kata gak r lama berbanding ngan AV lain yang aku dah try.
    Dari segi cara nak meng’update plak, secara manual nak update die senang je. Just download definition ke dalam folder korang, then just pilih je folder tu mase nak meng’update. Cara die sama je macam yang AVG punye. Senang r. Tak leceh.
    Erm…kelebihan yang lain adalah die scan ngan laju sekali. Ni kerana die ade iStream. Ngan iStream ni, setiap kali bile die run scan, die takkan scan file2 yang pernah di’scan. Die akan scan bile file tu telah dimodified je. So lagi pantas r kalau nak scan. Tapi iStream ni hanya disupport pada NTFS je.
    Selain itu, Kaspersky ni lepas test Level 1 dan Level 2 dalam men’detect dan disinfect virus. So, kalau die jumpe virus yang terbaru yang takde dalam databse die, die akan bagi warning r.


    Walaupun die ranking #1 dalam list, tetapi aku tak sukekan nye… Muhahahaha… Sebabnye, kalau nak update die secara manual, punye la payah. First, nak kene exit dulu BitDefender ni. Then kene stop’kan services die. Nak stop tu memakan masa a jugak. Dah lepas stop tu, kene plak copy/paste kat folder definition die. Banyak keje r plak. Malas aku. Tapi kelebihan die adalah die lepas ujian Level 1 dan Level 2 r. Masa yang diambil untuk scan leh kata laju gak dan tak ambil masa yang banyak semasa nak load up Windows.

    Kesimpulannye, aku skang ni gune Kaspersky. He3. Sebenarnye payah gak nak decide nak gune yang mana satu. Yang paling ringan AVG tapi die ade kelemahan plak. So, last skali aku decide untuk gune Kaspersky. Mari2lah menggunakan Kaspersky. :d
