Answer Line: Malware or false positive?

Davikokar launched a program even though Norton warned that it was a Trojan. A subsequent hard drive scan revealed nothing bad. Davikokar then asked the Antivirus & Security Software forum if Norton had given a false positive?

[Email your tech questions to answer@pcworld.com or post them on the PCW Answer Line forum.]

Norton may have indeed given you a false positive when it warned you that a program was malware. But it's just as likely--maybe even more so--that Norton's mistake came when it told you that your hard drive was clean.

And I'm not knocking Norton here. These issues apply to every antivirus program in existence.

YouTube Favorite ?Charlie the Unicorn? Returns After 3 Years

One of YouTube's early viral hits, Charlie the Unicorn is back with its first installment in three years.

Google Promotes iOS Apps After Maps Success

Basking in the successful relaunch of Google Maps for iOS, the search company has debuted ads promoting its apps for Apple's mobile operating system.

The ad, captured in the YouTube video above, aims to recruit developers by encouraging them to "reshape Google for iOS." It then goes on to list several of its iOS apps, including Google Search, YouTube, Chrome and Gmail.

In a Q&A, Google Search engineer Ken Bongort says most people don't know that the company has iOS mobile-apps teams.

"People think Android is the only mobile platform that we support. But we actually have a ton of in-house iOS teams, building apps for everything from Search to YouTube to Chrome to Maps."

RTB Poised for Higher CPMs in 2013

Programmatic buying will yield higher CPMs and more brand advertisers in 2013. Those are among the predictions shared by Christina Beaumier, VP Global Client Development at Xaxis, Group M's audience buying unit, in an interview with Beet.TV. We caught up with her for a discussion about what's ahead in real-time-bidding and audience buying. "We'll see more inventory, and pricing for the right adience will go up. The beauty of big data is it rewards stuff that works," she tells us. That's why she expects to see much more dynamic pricing for programmatic buys, based on the specificity and effectiveness of finding the right audience. Similarly, she expects more brand marketers to come on board in the year ahead, and data may be the lure for them.The perception of audience buying is that it's performance-based, she explains. But data from campaigns can show how it serves branding efforts too. "With video and the ability to bring in data to the decision of whether or not to deliver a video impression gives a strong value for a brand advertiser...We can start to plan video as part of the whole mix and deliver a video ad the first time we see a user and the second time maybe a display ad, and the third perhaps a call to action. So we can use video as part of the funnel, and using that sequencing of messaging through data across video and display is getting brand marketers excited."Also, in 2013 she expects the term "agency trading desk" to go away because it doesn't capture the full scope of planning, segmentation, budgeting and strategy that an agency does. We also spoke with her in the fall about the expansion of Xaxis.

Acxiom?s Addressable TV Advertising Helps Brands Reach Their Customers

SAN FRANCISCO — Acxiom, a leader in technology and marketing services, is making strides in the field of targeted and addressable advertising. Acxiom’s collaborative targeting safe haven environment gives advertisers the opportunity to match up their own customer prospect files with publisher files, in order to maximize return on media buys. In this video interview from the Smart TV and Multi-screen Advertising Summit, Curtis Barone, Director Advanced Television Advertising at Acxiom, discusses addressable advertising, Acxiom’s services, and the opportunities that third-party data opens up for television advertising. Barone explains that, using Acxiom, brands can discover and target the households that are most likely to be interested in their products or services. Audiences can be targeted based upon a wide variety of criteria—rather than the traditional demographics of age, sex and location, brands can find households based upon income, the type of car they drive, interests and more. "The value of the buy becomes greater," Barone says, "because the advertiser is able to reach the households that they are most interested in, whether it’s their customers or prospects."

Sony Duo 11 Ultrabook review: Blurring the line between tablet and laptop

Unpacking the Sony Duo 11 (aka the SVD1123CXB) reveals what appears to be a tablet; no keyboard is immediately visible. Yet when you pick it up, it seems a little hefty for a tablet. What's going on here? Well, the Duo 11 is not just a tablet. Lifting up the top edge tilts the display and reveals a sliding keyboard hidden beneath the panel.

Welcome to the world of Windows 8 sliders. The Duo 11 keeps its keyboard tucked underneath the tablet's bottom chassis?it's there when you need it, but you can hide it away when you don't.

Sony

The Duo 11 modes

The Duo 11 weighs in at 2 pounds, 13 ounces, decidedly on the light side for an Ultrabook. The 11.6-inch screen offers a full 1920-by-1080-pixel IPS touchscreen panel that provides good image quality and color fidelity. Sony also built a full Wacom digitizer into the touchscreen, complete with a stylus supporting 256 levels of pressure sensitivity. Artists will appreciate the digitizer, but Sony didn't think to include a slot to store the stylus in the body of the unit, so you'll need to keep track of it as you travel.

The Duo 11 meets Intel's Ultrabook spec: It's light, it boots quickly from the 128GB solid-state drive, and it measures just 0.71 inch thick. The machine carries an Intel Core i5-3317U processor, and our review unit had 8GB of system RAM (the standard amount of included memory is 6GB). Since it's an Ultrabook, its graphics hardware consists of the on-board Intel HD 4000 GPU built into the Ivy Bridge low-voltage processor.

Payday Loan Vs Auto Title Loan, Which Is Right For You?

Generally speaking, auto title loans are easier to qualify for than payday loan or cash advances because they are secured by the value of your car or truck. While most auto title lenders would prefer borrowers with verifiable income, many are not as concerned about income requirements since they're holding the title on your car as security. In fact, some don't require any income at all.

Free Game Friday: More good games about the bad guy

Since even indie devs take time off for the holidays, there weren?t a lot of new games this week. Luckily, this month?s Ludum Dare about villainy produced enough games for two weeks of great games.

Ore Chasm

I started playing Ore Chasm earlier today and looked up to find that two hours had passed. The game feels a bit like Minecraft as you dig down underground to mine more ore, but instead of crafting new items with all your metals you upgrade your mining laser (which also lets you fly around the stage like you?ve strapped on an awesome jetpack.) If that weren?t enough, the game is also multiplayer. It?s by far the most robust game I?ve seen coming out of this round of Ludum Dare.

Demon Quest

Demon Quest is a point-and-click adventure where you play as a demon who?s looking to earn their demon degree. It?s not the deepest or longest adventure game but for a 48-hour game jam product it?s got an impressive visual flair.

Dig-Dug Dungeon

Dig-Dug Dungeon re-imagines Dig-Dug as an RTS, and the results are surprisingly addictive. You spawn more minions to dig around the map to earn gold and destroy all the pesky heroes looking to defeat the reaper commanding your base.

Vlogbrothers Raise $483,446 With Project For Awesome

Project For Awesome, Hank And John Green's two day charity event, has ended, and the creative pair should be proud of what they have accomplished. The Vlogbrothers were able to raise $483,446 for charity, exceeding last year's total almost seven times over. The majority of the support came from the brothers' Indiegogo page, where perks such as the Men of YouTube calendar encouraged fans to donate also $400,000. What impresses me more is the donations that came from outside of Indiegogo and required no incentive. The amount raised in that manner--more than $86,000--is still more than the $71,000 raised by last year's Project For Awesome. Still no words as to which channels will receive a share of the money. Hundreds of creators participated, but only the top five will be able to donate more than $90,000 to the charity of their choice. Still, given Charlieissocoollike's consistent appearance in the popular entries and his appearance on the Vlogbrothers' live stream, I'd suspect he is very much in the running

December Mozscape Index is Live!

Posted by carinoverturf

Happy Holidays!! The December Mozscape index is now live! The latest index has just been released and you will see fresh Mozscape data in Open Site Explorer, the Mozbar, PRO campaigns, and the Mozscape API.

The Big Data team was hoping to provide a special holiday treat launching two indices in one month again, but, unfortunately processing was bitten by a full machine failure. We've had really good luck running Mozscape processing on the larger, high compute AWS machines, but, sadly, just a few days before the index was complete, an entire computing machine failed which forced us to have to re-run a few steps. Even with the failure, the December index is a few days earlier than our scheduled release date on December 27th - a pre-holiday treat for everyone!

In even bigger Big Data news - our private cloud is fully up and running in Virginia and we are about 25% done with our first production ready index! If all goes well, we'll be releasing the first Mozscape index created in our own private cloud in mid-January. What a way to bring in the new year!

Here are the metrics for this latest index:

• 78,671,787,078 (78 billion) URLs
• 687,827,137 (687 million) Subdomains
• 136,539,340 (136 million) Root Domains
• 917,094,026,686 (917 billion) Links
• Followed vs. Nofollowed
  • 2.32% of all links found were nofollowed
  • 56.69% of nofollowed links are internal
  • 43.31% are external
• Rel Canonical - 14.07% of all pages now employ a rel=canonical tag
• The average page has 72 links on it
  •  61.38 internal links on average
  •  10.45 external links on average

And the following correlations with Google's US search results:

• Page Authority - 0.36
• Domain Authority - 0.19
• MozRank - 0.24
• Linking Root Domains - 0.30
• Total Links - 0.25
• External Links - 0.29

The histogram for the freshness of the index's crawl data shows a pretty high volume of fresh crawl data coming from middle of November. This index will have data ranging as old as the end of October, but a large volume of the data was crawled from the middle to end of November. 

We'll be keeping an eye on things over the holiday, so send us your feedback - we always love to hear your thoughts! And remember, if you're ever curious about when Mozscape is updating, you can check the calendar here. We also maintain a list of previous index updates with metrics here.

Sign up for The Moz Top 10, a semimonthly mailer updating you on the top ten hottest pieces of SEO news, tips, and rad links uncovered by the Moz team. Think of it as your exclusive digest of stuff you don't have time to hunt down but want to read!

Until Debt Do Us Part - The Business of Usury

There is a need to protect consumers from unscrupulous practices in lending. In 1982, the Central Bank issued circular 905 which suspended the usury law, Republic Act 2655 amended under Presidential Decree 116 which was upheld by the Supreme court (SC). The circumstance surrounding the suspension of the law looks mystifying, how could the Central Bank suspend a law? However, 1982 was a different time altogether being Martial law. This is not very comforting. The usury law should be reinstated.

Parks Research Analyst: Consumers More Receptive To Connected TV Advertising

SAN FRANCISCO — As more consumers adopt a digital lifestyle, complete with second-screen apps, tablets and connected TVs, brands are becoming interested in learning about connected TV advertising—who the viewers are and how they are engaging with this advertising. Parks Associates is at the forefront of this research and, at the Smart TV and Multi-screen Advertising Summit in San Francisco, senior research analyst Heather Way told us about some of the work they’ve been doing. Parks Associates worked with Rovi Corp to publish a white paper earlier this month centered on connected TV advertising and its effectiveness. Based on research conducted by Rovi over the last two years, the white paper reveals that connected TV platforms have a positive impact on consumer advertising perceptions. Way says, in the report, "Connected TV systems have the ability to change viewer perceptions of advertising. These systems enable advertising to be integrated into device navigation and content search, engaging consumers at a point of high receptivity and enabling them to immerse themselves in a rich brand experience. As a result, over 50% of U.S. connected-TV households surveyed by Rovi consider these ads as content, containing useful and valuable information." In this video interview, Way speaks about the Rovi white paper, among other projects that Parks is working on, in the connected TV advertising arena, including a new App Ecosystem research track. Way says, "We are looking at the app ecosystem and how it’s going to develop across platforms, from smart TVs, tablets, smart televisions, [and] connected game consoles." Megan O’Neill

UPDATE: Pulled ?Family Guy? Episode To Air On Sunday; ?American Dad?, ?Haven? On Hold

The first of the programs pulled by the networks in the immediate aftermath of the tragic Friday school shooting in Connecticut has been rescheduled. The original�Family Guy episode, which was slated to run last Sunday, will air this coming Sunday. Last Friday, Fox opted to preempt both Family Guy and American Dad. While I hear the American Dad episode does feature gun violence, I hear the holiday-themed edition of Family Guy does not contain violence but, in a typical Family Guy non-PC fashion, pokes fun at religion, which was deemed inappropriate for last weekend. There is no new airdate set yet for the pulled American Dad episode. Another American Dad original will air this Sunday. Last Friday’s episode of Syfy’s drama Haven, which also was pulled out of respect to the victims because it depicted violence, has been held back too, and I hear won’t air until mid-January. The networks’ pre-emptions this past weekend also included ABC taking down briefly the Thursday winter finale of Scandal from its online player. It contained a scene of an innocent family with two small children who had been gunned down. The episode has since been restored.

While a desktop PC is basically a collection of off-the-shelf parts in a big, easy-to-access box, each laptop model is a unique jigsaw puzzle, with many of the pieces designed for that model, and all tightly-packed to reduce size.
