Cuil (supposedly pronounced ‘cool’) is another new search engine, built by some ex-Google employees. Supposedly it’s so far indexing 3 times as many sites as Google.

As a result of yesterdays revelation that AVG is flooding the internet with fake traffic, I had a look around to see what’s the best free antivirus solution out there.

I turns out that AV-test.org tests these scanners on a regular basis and has whole loads of white papers out.

Anyway, Security.nl has a synopsis of the march 2008 results and of the free ones, Avira Antivir seems to be the best.
