Announcements:

I am currently writing at Computelogy.com actively and that's why i sort of abandoned my own tech blog. Since i am too busy to be taking care of both sides, i guess this blog will go into hibernation for a very very long time. Regrettable, but then it's hard to come up with new posts & stuffs.

So once again, i am now writing actively at Computelogy. Feel free to visit there and enjoy our latest articles and posts!

Giving Avast! the Vista Look!


Among free security software, the three big boys on the scene are AVG, Avast! and Avira. These three free antivirus software share some common traits. Firstly, they are rated as the best free antiviruses in stability, consistency, detection and removal. Secondly, they are the most popular free antivirus software on download sites such as CNET. Thirdly, they all start with the initial 'A' (LOL!!!)

Of course these three antivirus also have distinctiveness that separates them from each other. AVG is famed for going easy on your machinary by using minimal system resources. Avira is famed for its 'Luke Filewalker' heuristic scanning engine. Avast! is famed for its user friendly design, which emphasizes on maximizing antivirus-user interactivity. Which brings us to the topic today-giving Avast a Vista look!

All Avast! users perhaps realized that Alwil provided users the option to skin Avast. While the default Avast! skin spots a gloss silver, media player-like interface, there are different skins user can apply to project their personal characteristics. One of the most popular skin is the Vista skin, which makes your Avast! antivirus looks Vista-like, without changing the way it functions. Here's a screenshot for you:

BEFORE: Avast!'s Default User Interface

AFTER: AVist, the Vista skin for Avast!


If you like/using Avast and want this skin as well, here's how to give your Avast! a Vista skin:

1. If you do not have Avast! but would like to use it, you can download the free edition here.

2. Download the AVist skin for Avast! from here.

3. After download, double-click the skin file in order to install AVist into Avast! (make sure you have installed Avast!)

4. By default, your skin will automatically change to AVist. Enjoy your Vista-like Avast!
