#NextIsNowNG | Introducing the Samsung Galaxy Edge & S6 Duos
When the very best are called upon to rise, stand tall, and be part of the ones who see and embrace the future today; you don’t want to be left behind. Introducing, the Samsung Galaxy edge & S6 duos.
First unveiled at the Samsung Unpacked event held at the Mobile World Congress (MWC) 2015 in Barcelona, Spain, both smart phones combine beauty and power in an adorable piece of jewelry. The Galaxy S6 duos is the dual SIM version of the S6.
Carved out of a combination of corning gorilla glass 4 and high tensile metal, the S6 edge features the world’s first dual curved glass display with an exquisite glass and metal finish giving it a refined look and feel.
Both devices have a super-fast charging feature that allows the device run for four hours after just ten minutes of charging. How about 0% to full battery charge? The Galaxy S6 edge needs about 85 minutes whilst the Galaxy S6 duos requires about 80 minutes for full charge. The devices come with a state-of-the-art wireless charging technology that has evolved to make charging easier; simply place the phone on a wireless charger and charging starts. What more? You get a free wireless charger when you pre-order before April 17th, 2015.
The Galaxy S6 edge has a 16-megapixel camera with Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), which lets you take better photos in low light. While the superfast-launching easy-to-use camera allows users instantly capture every precious moment, the tracking auto focus technology keeps every moving object in sharp/clear focus. Selfie lovers can also rejoice in the boosted 5-megapixel front camera with 90 degree wide angle.
In addition, the camera can capture 360 degrees angle around an object and takes photos in less than 0.7 seconds through the new double-tap home button shortcut. The OIS feature lets the lens move inside to correct blurry effects that result from movements of the hands while taking a picture. It also automatically adjusts the white balance. You can even take pictures in slow and fast motion!
Like a jewel, the dynamic reflective surface produces profound colors at different light angles. Both devices will be available for order in White Pearl, Black Sapphire, Gold Platinum at the beginning and Emerald Green later on for Galaxy S6 edge and Blue Topaz for the Galaxy S6 duos.
Place your order for the all-new Samsung Galaxy S6 edge and Galaxy S6 duos for delivery to you in Nigeria!
To pre-order either of these new smart devices, visit www.galaxys6edge.ng; the network providers, MTN, Airtel, Etisalat and GLO; e-commerce platformsJumia & Konga; Samsung Experience Stores; and select retail partners nationwide and get a free wireless charger.
Offer is valid while stock lasts. #NextIsNowNG

Avira personal antivirus is not only a free software application, but also has high quality features that makes it unique and one of the best free anti-viruses in the market.
It is users friendly, as has no problems. Nevertheless, it is very comprehensive and offers the best protection for your personal computer. However, this particularly is best use for personal computers and not for commercial purposes. Some outstanding features that come with Avira include:
High Defense against Malwares (Worms, Viruses, and Trojan Horses)
Avira free antivirus quickly and thoroughly scans your computer for any form of malware programs in your system. It tracks down the actions of the user and will promptly respond once it detects any form of malware in your computer. It comes with the latest scanning technology in order to detect malware as soon as possible.
Protection against Buried Root Kits by Using Antirootkit
Attackers install software called RootKits that are used to get access to the root-level of your computer. They can hide the attack as they are hidden from the administrator, any normal authorization and authentication procedures. RootKits can be tricky to find, and most of them go undetected by many antivirus software. With the advanced rootkit protection that Avira offers, you do not need to worry about any rootkits that might be hidden in your system – it will thoroughly scan your system effectively and efficiently, detect and destroy such software.
Advanced Phishing Protection
Hackers make use of dubious processes like phishing to obtain personal and confidential information from people like passwords, usernames, and even your credit information. They usually present their website as honest sites. They cloan trusted and popular site by putting up a similar design but they are fake websites. The majorly make use of spamming through email. This will attract users into providing their personal information unaware of the intention of the website creator. However, if you have Avira free antivirus installed on your machine, you need not worry about such dubious sites getting a hold of your personal information and using it against your consent, mostly for criminal activities.
Protection from Spyware
Spyware is another kind of criminal software that is used to extract information from your machine without your consent and knowledge. Most of these softwares are normally not visible and well hidden by the attacker for the user not to notice and are not easy to delete. Spyware does not only collect information but also cause other problems for your computer like installing software that you never downloaded, changing the configuration, settings and some features on your computer. It also affects your browser activities such that your browser is redirected. This will, in turn, display different pop-up ads, causes loss of internet connection, or in other cases the internet connection will be very slow. Your personal file may also get damaged in the presence of spyware. Spyware will attack your computer by showing undesirable pop-up ads and redirecting you to other sites – mostly advertisement sites. Spyware might do a lot of damage to your computer, but with Avira your system and personal files will be protected from spyware for the most part.

Last Modified on By Olusegun Fapohunda
Avast Software, the maker of the most trusted antivirus in the world has launched Avast 2014, the latest edition of its antivirus and internet security range.
Avast 2014 comes in four consumer variations: Avast Free Antivirus, Avast Pro Antivirus, Avast Internet Security, and Avast Premier – and in more than 40 languages. AVAST also provides world-class protection for businesses and mobile devices.
The AVAST Chief Executive Officer Vincent Steckler said “The new avast! 2014 delivers on our commitment to provide faster, better protection to the market, It’s the culmination of 25 years of research and the experience of protecting nearly 200 million devices – far more than any other antivirus product.”
The most noticeable change is the interface, which should increase usability on both desktop devices as well as on touch screens.
The new products feature a new protection mode, called Hardened Mode, designed especially for novice users. It relies on Avast’s file reputation service (Community IQ), which crowd-sources information from the almost 200 million devices currently protected by Avast products.
Hardened Mode is a very restrictive measure that makes sure only safe files run on the system; these are either files with good reputation or already whitelisted by Avast.
Rescue Disk is a new feature that extends the functionality of the security package by creating a bootable media that can be used for offline scanning and cleaning infected systems. It relies on threat signatures so it is advisable to be created just before use, on a clean machine.

OCR software works by analyzing a document and comparing it with fonts stored in its database and/or by noting features typical to characters. Some OCR software also puts it through a spell checker to “guess” unrecognized words. 100% accuracy is difficult to achieve, but close approximation is what most software strive for.
Now that you’ve got an idea on how OCR software works, I will share an OCR software I’ve tested and installed on my PC with you. The name of the OCR software is OCR to word.

USB flash drives are now being used by people of all ages to store important data.

As USB flash drives becomes a means of saving data in an easy and convenient way, so also different USB viruses increase along with it. This post will emphasize on how anyone can recover hidden Files from Virus infected USB Pendrive, Flash drive, memory card, external hard disk and any other USB storage devices.
Recently, a friend of mine told me he wanted to destroy his memory card, because all the files he had on it had been duplicated to a shortcut, while the real files are nowhere to be found. He told me the memory card has been corrupted, so he has to destroy it and get another one for his smartphone, and he further says he will be missing some pictures he took during her sister wedding ceremony and the ones he took on vacation. But my response to him was that, the memory card has truly been corrupted by some nasty viruses like Trojan or worm or Win32. sality and so many other malwares, which can duplicate the files and hide the real files. The solution to this isn’t destroying the memory card, since the files could still be restored. So he asked me how he can get his files back. I told him it has happened to me in the past, and the common source of problem like this is when any USB Flash drives such as: pendrive, external hard disk, memory card and the rest are connected to an infected computer. So to unhide those hidden files, you have to follow the processes I outlined in this post.

The first method doesn’t require any software, and it works, while the second method requires software, which you will be provided with the download link.
