Avira AntiVirus Premium 2012
Avira's commercial antivirus tool offers extras like web protection, email scanning, a Game Mode and more

Avira AntiVirus Premium 2012 is the latest edition of Avira's commercial antivirus engine.

Just like the free product, it offers basic real-time protection, on demand and scheduled scanning. The 2012 version brings easier installation, and a faster loading, more straightforward interface. There are some useful security tweaks - you get built-in HOSTS file protection, for instance - and it's been optimised to use less RAM.

Avira AntiVirus Premium 2012 includes many additional features, though. Behaviour monitoring allows the program to detect even brand new and previously undiscovered threats, for example. An antiphishing module keeps you safe online. The program looks out for and blocks infected emails; the AntiDrive-by module protects you from unwanted downloads; and its Game Mode suspends notifications during games, movies and other full-screen applications.

And of course Avira Internet Security 2012 takes all these features and extends them with everything you'd expect from a security suite: a spam filter, a powerful firewall (now updated with support for IPv6), parental controls, a backup tool, disaster recovery and more.

Verdict:

Avira AntiVirus Premium 2012 isn't radically different to what's gone before, but that's okay: it's a little faster, a little easier to use, and provides a little more security, and if you're an Avira fan then you'll probably find it worth the upgrade

Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013 (v11.0.6)

Free Full Commercial Software

Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013 is a compact, simple, but surprisingly feature-packed disc burning suite.

The program makes it easy to create simple data discs and audio CDs, for instance: just drag and drop your files onto the list area and you'll be burning the finished disc in a couple of clicks.

That's just the start, though. Burning Studio 2013 can also create data discs with customised, interactive multi-page menus, perfect if you'd like a more professional way to share and present the disc contents.

A built-in backup tool allows you to create backups which may be encrypted, compressed, and span several CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays.

And there are modules to create VCD or SVCD video projects; burn video DVDs or Blu-ray discs from prepared folders; create, browse or burn disc images (ISO, CUE/ BIN and Ashdisc formats are supported); copy discs, erase them, design and print disc covers, labels and booklets, and more.

The focus throughout is on ease of use, though, and so Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013 remains very straightforward, whatever you're doing. Most disc projects are created via the same simple interface, and for the most part all you have to do is drag and drop the necessary files. But experts will find more advanced options are only a click away, and if you need to then you can set ISO and UDF version, enable Joliet, make a disc bootable and more.

Note the download here will take you to the Downloadcrew Software Store where you can download Burning Studio 2013.
