Welcome back!
Last week, I posted about ZoneAlarm’s free 1 year license. This week again I am posting about a free AntiVirus License give away! This time it’s Panda AntiVirus.
The license give away will be on 22nd October, 2009. Also on the same day, Windows 7 is going to be launched!
The free give away will be available for 24 hours. You can download your free copy within that time. Panda Security is compatible with Windows 7. So, those of you, who are planning to upgrade to Windows 7 have a good option of getting free Panda Security for 1 year. Also, Panda Security is already compatible with earlier versions of Windows.
The give away will start in about 26 hours and will be valid for 24 hours. Follow these easy steps to free your computer of viruses, hackers and other cyber-criminals:
1) Register here on 10/22/09
2) Download Internet Security 2010
3) Receive an activation code for one free year and use it
P.S. Like the last week’s ZoneAlarm’s free download link was tweeted to me by @kumarankush, this time also my friend Kumar tweeted me the link to this free give away. Thanks once again Kumar! Also, I thank @shubhankar for tweeting the link to Kumar!

Microsoft released Windows Server 2008 and Windows Vista: Service Pack 2 on 26th May.
I earlier had Windows Vista Ultimate: Service Pack 1 on my Dell Lappy. I upgraded it to SP2. Here’s a screeny:
Before installing, here are few things you need to know:
Prerequisites
If you have any beta versions of SP2 installed, they must be un-installed prior to installing
- Use the Control Panel applet “Programs and Features” and select “View installed updates” from the top left of the task pane, under Windows, look for KB94846
You must have a genuine copy of Windows Server 2008 with SP1 or Windows Vista with SP1 installed on the computer prior to installing SP2
- Windows Server 2008 released with the Service Pack 1 code included
- SP2 is the first post-release Service Pack for Windows Server 2008
Recommendations
If “vLite” was used to customize your Windows Vista installation, you may have removed required system components which prevent Service Pack 2 from installing. See KB 968279 for additional details before installing Service Pack 2.
Beta versions of Windows Server 2008 SP2/Windows Vista SP2 are time-limited software that will operate until June 1st, 2010. If you installed any beta versions of Windows Server 2008 SP2/Windows Vista SP2 it is highly recommended that you uninstall them before June 1st, 2010
Download: [Vista SP2/Server 2008 SP2 32 bit]

Microsoft announced Friday night that computer enthusiasts will have a while longer to get their hands on the beta version of Windows 7.
Microsoft said that the test version of the operating system will be available for download through Feb. 10. Previously, Microsoft had said that the OS would only be open through late this month.
“We are at a point where we have more than enough beta testers and feedback coming in to meet our engineering needs, so we are beginning to plan the end of general availability for Windows 7 Beta,” Microsoft’s Brandon LeBlanc said in the blog posting. “Because enthusiasm continues to be so high for the Windows 7 Beta and we don’t want anyone to miss out we will keep the Beta downloads open through February 10th.”
Those who start the download process before Feb. 10 will have until Feb. 12 to finish the task.
The deadline applies to the general public, while members of Microsoft’s TechNet and MSDN developer programs will continue to have access to the code, LeBlanc said.
CEO Steve Ballmer announced the beta of Windows 7 during his speech at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas on Jan 7. After a slight hiccup, Microsoft made the code available on Jan. 10.
