<description><![CDATA[The fall months may be the season for colder weather and dying leaves, but in the software world it means major updates for security suites. We've reviewed and benchmarked 11 suites, organized them along the traditional line of cost, and picked one in each category that we highly recommend.We looked at four updated free security options: AVG Anti-Virus Free 2011, Panda Cloud Antivirus 1.3, Microsoft Security Essentials 2, and Ad-Aware Free Internet Security 9. Other well-known free security programs, such as Avast and Avira, generally update in late winter or spring, so they were not included.$lazy(window.GeckoVideoPlayer, CBSi.lazy.videoPlayer, function(){loadGeckoVideoPlayer({parentElement: 'universalVideoid50093438',flashVars:{autoplay: 'false',adTargetType: 'Page',adPreroll: 'true',contentType: 'id',contentValue: '50093438',playlistDisplay: 'over'}},'blogLarge')'})'In addition to our product comparison charts (free | paid), check out CNET Labs' performance benchmark comparisons below. (Read more on how CNET Labs tests security programs.) We can see from these tests that though no single program scored better than all the others, there were clear leaders in the key trials of start-up time impact, shutdown time impact, and time to complete a full scan. Panda Cloud Antivirus is highly competitive with AVG Free, whereas Norton's performance strengths lie in its threat prevention and detection, because several of its competitors leave a smaller footprint on your system.Free security suite benchmarks:table.geekbox th{background-color:E6ECEF'text-align:left'font-weight:bold'}table.geekbox tr.even{background-color:CCCCCC'}.ratingGood{color:093'} .ratingAverage{color:666'} .ratingBad{color:C00'}Security programBoot timeShutdown timeScan timeMS Office performanceiTunes decodingMedia multitaskingCinebenchUnprotected system42.511.28n/a9171807804,795AVG Anti-Virus Free 201155.2411.595481,0392008704,709Panda Cloud Antivirus Free 1.350.1214.85401,0441998324,790Microsoft Security Essentials 254181,5601,0382018004,790Ad-Aware Internet Security 954181,6201,0391997974,792*All tests measured in seconds, except for Cinebench.

<description><![CDATA[Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer is expected to keep shaking up his management team, according to Bloomberg Businessweek.Citing two unnamed sources with knowledge of the decision, the publication said that Ballmer may add some senior product executives with engineering backgrounds to his top staff. Last month, Ballmer forced out server division president Bob Muglia, a 23-year company lifer, saying Microsoft needed new leadership in cloud software. Changes may be announced this month.Microsoft needs engineering expertise to run product divisions that are taking on rivals Apple and Google in web services, smartphones and tablet computers. Four top executives have left the company since May, prompting criticism from the board and investors about Ballmer&amp;'s regime.a4AYou see the engineering team ascending because Steve is realizing that there is a need to execute on a vision and in order to do that you have to actually understand how software is built,a4 said Wes Miller, an analyst at the Kirkland, Washington-based research firm Directions on Microsoft, in an interview with Bloomberg Businessweek. a4AIta4a4s a whole other thing to be able to say, a4Ia4a4ve been at Microsoft, I understand software, and what you are saying will or will not work.a4a4a4Microsoft declined to comment about the pending changes. Microsoft faces some of the biggest competitive threats in its history, particularly as the industry momentum shifts away from the PC, where Microsoft is a powerhouse, to the mobile markets such as smartphones and tablets. That&amp;'s where Microsoft lags pitifully behind. In a Securities and Exchange Commission filing, Ballmer got a smaller bonus than he could have last year because of the failure of Microsoft&amp;'s Kin smartphone and overall market share losses in smartphones.The publication closed its story with an obvious point. At some point, Ballmer may run out of people in his organization to blame and may have to take responsibility for failure himself. That&amp;'s evidently happened at Nokia, Advanced Micro Devices and other big companies. We sincerely hope that, whoever joins the top ranks at Microsoft, they will be as entertaining as Ballmer has been over the years.[image credit: Technorati]Previous Story: Whoa: T-mobile to offer all phones free this weekendPrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Companies: MicrosoftPeople: Bob Muglia, steve ballmer          Companies: MicrosoftPeople: Bob Muglia, steve ballmerDean is lead writer for GamesBeat at VentureBeat.

<description><![CDATA[Now that Android devices featuring Nvidiaa4a4s powerful dual-core Tegra 2 chip are finally making their way to consumers, the company has launched its Tegra Zone app to feature games that can take advantage of the beefy hardware.Tegra Zone still points users to Google&amp;'s Android Market to download games, but it serves as an easy way for Nvidia to show off content thata4a4s specifically catered to its Tegra 2 chip. Games enhanced for the hardware sport features like better quality graphics, including higher resolution textures and complex lighting' more interactivity, thanks to the ability to display more characters on screen' and improved artificial intelligence.The recently released Motorola Xoom tablet runs Tegra 2, as will other Android 3.0-powered tablets like Samsunga4a4s new 10-inch Galaxy Tab and LGa4a4s Optimus Pad. The chip will also make its way to phones, including LGa4a4s Optimus 2X.Games featured in Tegra Zone include spruced up versions of popular titles like Fruit Ninja THD, Galaxy on Fire 2 THD, and Backbreaker THD. The app will also feature Dungeon Defenders: First Wave Deluxe HD, the first Android game thata4a4s built on Epica4a4s Unreal Engine 3. Tegra Zone also includes screenshots, game reviews, high definition trailers, and more.While Nvidia is only featuring games at the moment, Tegra Zone could potentially serve to highlight other types of apps that take advantage of the Tegra 2 hardware, including high quality video streaming apps, as well as apps that rely on 3D similar to Google Earth.Via EngadgetNext Story: Apple staffer: Save your excitement for iPad 3, not iPad 2 Previous Story: Twitter, Digg investor Mike Maples: Yes, there is a tech bubblePrintEmailTwitterFacebookGoogle BuzzLinkedIn      DiggStumbleUponRedditDeliciousGoogleMore&amp;8230'          Tags: Android, Android Market, apps, graphics hardware, Tegra 2, Tegra ZoneCompanies: Google, Nvidia          Tags: Android, Android Market, apps, graphics hardware, Tegra 2, Tegra ZoneCompanies: Google, NvidiaDevindra Hardawar is VentureBeat's lead mobile writer and East Coast correspondent.
