The fantastic free anti-virus program AVG has just come out with a major update. This latest update brings AVG up to version 8 and brings with it an updated interface plus a few new features. This freeware now helps protect your PC from SpyWare even more with it’s new SafeSearch feature, which provides extra information in your Google searches letting you know which sites are safe and warning you about the ones that are potentially dangerous with unobtrusive icons next to your search results (ofcourse you can turn this feature off if you’d like).

You also get the same great features you are used to from AVG like great virus protection, automatic updates, a scan scheduler & more. So anyone who is already using AVG, make sure you update to version 8 and for anyone in need of a new anti-virus program, now is a good time to switch to AVG.

.kkreiger is a free FPS (first person shooter) game and while it is a few years old now, what’s most amazing about this game is that it is only 96KB in size! The tiny size of the game is due to the use of procedurally generated content which basically means that things like in-game textures and models aren’t stored like a regular game but are made “on the fly” while you play the game, cool stuff indeed!

The game itself is still in beta form (although it has been for a long time now) and is a fairly basic FPS. You get a few different guns along the way and there are a bunch of enemies to take down as well, some easy while others need the heavy firepower to finish off. While .kkreiger doesn’t last too long, you’ll be able to download and install it by the time you finish reading this and anyone who has an interest in this sort of technology will appreciate what .kkreiger has achieved.

VLC is a free media player that will play almost any video or music file you want. It’s packed with other great features too and will run on Windows, Mac OS and Linux. VLC plays a massive amount of file formats, including MPEG-1, MPEG-2, MPEG-4, DivX, mp3 and a whole bunch more, without the need to find and download extra codecs. Just download and install and you’re media is up and running. It will play your DVDs and VCDs plus various streaming media from the web (like online radio). VLC can also play most .iso files and even many incomplete files, so you can get a preview of what you are downloading before it’s finished.

In addition to simply playing your media files, VLC can also act as a streaming media server/client so you can use it as part of a home theatre setup and it even features multicast capabilities. The download is only 9MB and it comes in a portable package (without the installer) so you can carry VLC Media Player around with you on a USB stick or similar device and then you’ll always have a great media player handy.
