In Windows 7, there is no option to switch over to Classic start menu or Windows 95/98 style menu. But, still if you miss that feature then you can get back to classic style.

It is within the logical design of the new superbar that developments such as integrated search make more sense for an application launcher if we use more than 5 programs. However there is who does not think so and wants to give the possibility to use the classic menu in Windows 7, either because they are used or some other obscure reason.

You have two options one is paid and and another free download.

Classic Start Menu (CSMenu) is the program that implements this menu practically modeled the previous Windows. It opens like a normal program, so we can add the launcher to the new superbar to take both the new menu as this menu is classic at once. The forum has been created where you have recorded a video for you to view your installation, since it is not too intuitive, and requires several additional steps.

If you really want the classic menu and do not want to go through all the steps above, there is another solution that integrates best, is a more faithful reproduction and a normal installer: Seven Classic Start. The problem is that costs 25 USD, which seems a little robbery for what it does.

Still, I would recommend to prefer the default start menu of Windows 7 which is undoubtedly best and just a press of key away.

Norton 2010 Beta Download

Although, For a Common user, using a security program which is in beta is not a good choice but we like to move to this kind of applications like we have have new toy to play with. It’s Norton Internet security 2010 Beta and Norton Antivirus 2010 beta.

The security suite includes antivirus products and also protection against spam, phishing or browser vulnerabilities. But the point of virus protection is one that receives more news in an attempt to combat malware that has not yet been identified.

TheSONAR 2detection system of Symantec is the one responsible for the use of signatures to scan files and identify if they have a virus in it or whether they are malicious code. But these systems are not infallible and Norton AntiVirus 2010 adds the concept of reputation.

The 2010 editions will focus on reputation-based malware detection—a technology that can detect zero-day malware that’s never been seen before—but won’t discard existing signature-based detection for known threats.

This is based on the same concept as the karma of some social networks, or the scores of products from Amazon. The new executable that you downloaded in system are examined against a database created by all users of Norton, with which the virus is able to decide whether the file is reliable or not.

The idea is to give more information to the user facing applications that have been downloaded and that may be potentially malicious. Sure many of us have seen the dialog box that shows the browser or Windows while trying to run new applications. This notion of reputation using the same concept but offering much more information to the user.

Other improvements included in Norton Internet Security 2010 is Norton Insight, which identifies trusted applications to accelerate the scanning system, and a spam detection system based on Brightmail.

Norton Internet Security 2010 Beta Pre-Release

Norton Internet Security 2010 beta is available for Download now at www.norton.com/nis2010beta; Norton AntiVirus 2010 beta is at www.norton.com/nav2010beta.
