Clean MSN Virus is a tool that detects and deletes currently circulating MSN Messenger viruses. For some time now, MSN Messenger has been used to spread viruses. During a conversation, a user receives, apparently from his contact, a link inviting him to open a file that looks like a photo. The file is in fact executable code that contains a virus. Once the user opens the file, the virus runs itself and spreads to everyone on the users contact list. Clean MSN Virus detects more than 3,800 variants of MSN viruses. Clean MSN Virus analyzes active processes in memory and files. Version 2.0 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.

Also found in this pack is the latest version of :

The phone reviews are mainly positive and it has all that a modern touch screen phone should have. With 8Gb of memory and compatible player for DivX and Xvid videos well that makes it a kick ass multimedia phone!! Also its a capacitative phone so no stylus. So? Titan Black or Silver?

More information can be found at :

http://uk.lge.com/products/model/detail/mobilephones_lgarena(km900).jhtml

It has a cool AD for the Arena at the bottom, do check it out.

UPDATE : I have noticed that a lot of people are looking for information on the LG ARENA KM900, well till now its only T Mobile exclusively who is proposing the Arena in titan black so i guess the rest of us will have to content ourselves with the Silver one.
Also texting on the Arena is not an easy task at least for those who do not have small fingers as the virtual QWERTY keyboard is way too packed, on a six to seven word type, you would maybe hit only one or two correctly, let alone in the portrait mode.
However note that compared to the LG Renoir , the Arena records video in 3gp format and for those who would rely heavily on its browser , email attachments cannot exceed 1mb. Another unlikeness to the LG Renoir is that it does not have a large support for DivX/Xvid videos, you must use the video converting software found on the cd supplied together with the phone. Yet the Dolby Digital sound does make a difference

WGA

Xbox 360

Xbox 360 is the second video game console produced by Microsoft, and successor to the Xbox. The Xbox 360 competes with Sony’s PlayStation 3 and Nintendo’s Wii as part of the seventh generation of video game consoles.

One of the best features of the Xbox 360 is its integrated Xbox Live service that allows players to compete online and download content such as arcade games, game demos, trailers, TV shows, and movies. Major features of the console include its Windows Media Center multimedia capabilities, mandatory support of high definition in all games, movie rentals and game downloads from its online marketplace and the ability to watch HD DVD movies with an add-on drive.

The Xbox 360 was officially unveiled on MTV on May 12, 2005, with detailed launch and game information divulged later that month at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). The console sold out completely upon release in all regions except in Japan,[3][4][5] and, as of January 5, 2009, 28 million units have been sold worldwide, according to Microsoft.[1] The Xbox 360 is currently available in three configurations: the “Arcade”, the “Pro”, and the “Elite” console, each with its own selection of accessories.

The Xbox 360 is marketed in 3 models namely, Xbox 360 Arcade , Xbox 360 Pro or Xbox 360 , and Xbox 360 Elite ( denoted normally by its black color)

The main differences among the 3 models are in terms of accessories, the Arcade version comes without hard disk and other limitations such as the lack of headset, composite cables ( only AV ones ) while the Xbox pro comes with a 60 Gb hard disk and composite cables and finally the Elite comes with a 120 Gb hard disk and also HDMI cable. Please note that they all have HDMI Output but except the ELITe none come with the cable. The main utility of the hard disk is to store saved games, music and pictures while also be able to download from Xbox live.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if the Xbox 360 was to be marketed by such sales personel 😛 😛 😛
