AV-Comparatives report: Avast takes the gold for Overall Performance

Avast was awarded the title of Top Rated Product for 2015 by AV-Comparatives.

Avast was awarded the title of Top Rated Product for 2015 by AV-Comparatives.

Recently, AV-Comparatives released their 2015 Summary Report, an important resource for anyone who is interested in security solutions and antivirus software. Avast had a few exciting wins in this year’s report, which we plan to build upon as we continue moving forward into 2016.

Firstly, Avast was awarded the title of Top Rated Product for 2015 by AV-Comparatives. In their report, AV-Comparatives writes:

“Avast is a Top Rated Product this year, receiving five Advanced+ awards in the course of the year, including both Real-World Protection Tests. . . We feel its scan-results dialog box is equally well suited to expert and non-expert users.“

In addition to being a Top Rated Product, Avast also won the Gold Award for AV-Comparatives‘ Overall Performance Test, as well as a Silver Award for the Malware Removal Test.

In describing their Overall Performance test, AV-Comparatives adds that Avast demonstrates a significantly lower impact on system performance than that of other products. This means that Avast doesn’t disturb you while you browse, work or play on your PC.

How to make your PC’s performance the best it can be

If you’re experiencing a sluggish computer, there’s several things you can do to improve your system’s performance.

  • Make sure your software is up to date. The most up-to-date software contains fixes and patches that makes it run at its best. Avast 2016 products have enhanced features and the highest detection rates to protect your computer from malicious attacks. Software Updater is a feature in Avast 2016 that helps you ensure that your programs are up to date.
  • Old hardware. If you try to install modern software onto your old computer, it could start running at a snail’s pace, because the hardware simply is not capable of running the software. Ideally, buying a new PC with a multi-core processor is the best solution. However if your budget does not include a new computer, then you could add more RAM.
  • Stick to one security program. It’s not advised to run more than one security program with real-time protection at a time. Please uninstall any trial software that came with your PC before installing different protection. You can find a list and instructions to remove here. We recommend that you follow the vendor’s instructions before proceeding with the uninstallation.

New year, new job – but beware of fake offers looking to scam you

job search

January is traditionally a month of change for most people, be it starting new fitness and diet regimes, promising to travel more, vowing to make better use of their time, or even just giving their house a good clear out. For others, however, the beginning of a new year is a time of dramatic change, with many taking to the internet in search of a new job.

A recent survey carried out in the UK by employment website Indeed found that over 30% of employees were actively looking for new employment as part of their new year goals, while a further 11% of respondents said that finding new work was definitely on their list for 2016. Considering the increase in people scrambling for new career opportunities at this time of the year, it isn’t surprising that some criminals have seen this as a chance to take advantage of unsuspecting victims.

False offers that demand payments

One such example of a false job offer discovered in the United States required the candidate, who having successfully passed the first phase of the selection process, to log onto Yahoo Messenger for another interview. It was during this stage that she was told that to be contracted for the role she would need a number of software programs, but that the company would provide them for her if she passed them on her bank account information.

After becoming suspicious at this point, the potential candidate did some investigating online and discovered that, despite the company existing, scammers were using its name to pull off cybercrimes and that the job offer was in fact bogus.

Another such scam was spotted on Facebook, with cybercriminals yet again using the name of a reputed company to post false job offers. The process was similar to the previous one, with supposed employer requesting that applicants send payment as part of their application.

How to spot bogus job offers

If you are applying for a job offer online, here are a few quick tips to help you spot an offer that might just be too good to be true:

  • Never part with your money! No matter how good the job offer is, nobody should have to give money to a potential employee when being offered a job.
  • Don’t give out bank information during interviews. There is no need for a potential employee to have access to this information for an interview.
  • Try to online use reputed job listing websites. If you are in doubt, double check on the company’s website to see if it is listed there. Many of these scams use the names of legitimate companies to trick people.
  • Be cautious with potential new contacts on LinkedIn, as there has been an increase in fake profiles looking to steal user information.
  • There is only a cellphone supplied for enquiries as opposed to a direct landline.
  • The company is using a free email service for correspondence such as Gmail or Yahoo. Legitimate job related emails should come from corporate accounts.
  • If you are offered a job just on the basis of your CV, be suspicious. Most recruitment processes have a number of stages and an interview is definitely one of them.
  • Be wary of offers for jobs that you never applied for.
  • Finally, be aware of job offers that are too good to be true. If they’re offering you the chance to work from home and earn a huge salary, then it’s more than likely a scam.

By keeping your wits about you when looking for a jobs online, and following the tips above, you can avoid being a victim of identity theft and fraud. Remember, if it looks too good to be true, then it likely is!
