Norton also announced a new application, Norton Power Eraser to remove fake antivirus malware.

Norton Power Eraser is a new freebie tool designed to detect so-called fake antivirus malware,malware that looks like garden variety antivirus software and tried to coerce you into paying for "full" versions of the software that do nothing at all.


Norton also announced a Bootable Recovery Tool, a tool of last resort for when your PC is so hosed by malware that it won't start up, or your antivirus software won't even work properly. The Bootable Recovery Tool is a free download, but you need to enter a Norton product key in order to use it.

Google is updating Gmail with priority inbox, which it is said to automatically grade e-mail into four categories: important, important and unread, starred items and everything else.

Google said the product acts like your "personal assistant helping you focus on the messages that matter".

"E-mail is a great tool, but also a key contributor to overload. There are about 1.5 billion mail users worldwide, and almost 1 million (non-spam) e-mails sent each second. That works out at roughly 250Gb of mail per second, which is the equivalent of 2,000 hardcover books.

"That's a lot of mail. You can't possibly read or process it all. You will stress your brain beyond capacity," Mr Merrill told the BBC.

No sign of Priority Inbox on my Gmail accounts yet!

Google is introducing an as yet un-named Gmail-linked phone service, which will allow U.S. users to place free calls domestically and to Canada through its Web-based Gmail service, using their computer's built-in speaker and microphone, or a headset.

Google is offering free calls within the United States and to Canada for at least the rest of the year.

Google's new service allows users to initiate telephone calls within Gmail, the company's Web-based e-mail program.

-- Calls are initiated by clicking the "Call phone" option within Gmail's chat tool.

-- A pop-up dial box allows users to key in a number or enter a name from their Gmail contact list.

-- Communications go through the computer's built-in microphone and speaker.

-- Voice mails can be transcribed as e-mails and texts.

-- Voice mail greetings can be customized to particular callers.

It would be nice to get the service in the UK!
