Firefox 3.1 vaulting to up to version 3.5

March 12th, 2009 by rnix

With a wealth of new features added to the upcoming release of Firefox, Mozilla has decided to skip calling it 3.1 and has gone right to 3.5.  Much of this is due to the increased scope of the project. A thrid beta was released today.  I’ve tried out the beta and it’s a wonderful piece of software.  Pages load quicker as does the program overall.  Things just seem much more responsive.  I can’t wait for Firefox 3.5 to be released!

Tiburon Homes, LLC has managed to avoid viruses such as Conficker and Vundo by using the free ClamAV software on their computers that run Windows XP.  ClamwinAV, the Windows version of the ClamAV, is a free and open source software package that has often rated higher than propriety products such as Symantec and McAfee.  Using a combination of ClamAV and Firefox, Tibuon has been able to keep their IT security high while keeping their costs low.
