Oh look, a relic! I was really intrigued by reading this application's description. "Y2K proofing"? That's almost a quarter of a century old subject. Who cares about that anymore? However, notes say that Cracklock also protects your computer from the Y10K bug (giggles) and also against the so called "sadistic 30 day virus", of which I've never...Continue to app

Although the name Panda would suggest a different ancestry, this one is fairly anchored in the European space. Nevertheless this is not relevant in any way. Prevention Panda Antivirus Free has interesting interface. It is mainly a...Continue to app
