I can get paranoid about my “local” security quite often and I am a big fan of open source software. I try to go open before anything, really. I had used clamwin for awhile but was interested in a more “active” anti-virus tool because clamwin is only on demand. That wasn’t enough for me; I know it can’t protect you from getting viruses. I looked up open source alternatives that had more aggressive/constant memory scanning protection that wouldn’t stop when I clicked close. I found Moon Secure and I have been installing it everywhere. Moon Secure is an enterprise level active anti-virus scanner for Microsoft Windows, that currently employs clamav scan engine and virus database. The best part about it is that it’s free! The UI isn’t fancy but it’s worth a try if you are sick of controlling n0rton or the buggy resource hogs like mcafee.

Well here is some bad news for t-mobile sidekick users. Danger/Microsoft’s servers are “on the fritz” and when users shut off their sidekick they lose all their data. The event has pulled all sidekicks from the stores.

Wow.

Get ready! “In the coming weeks” you can be protected from some stuff a bit more then usual for no cost or hassle. I recommend that everyone who uses a Microsoft Windows®, take advantage of these options as they come.
