Hi. Is there any way to subscribe to just selected authors on a multi-authors blogs like DW?

Rahul Bansal May 19, 2009

@ArpitNext
Click on any author name and you will be taken to their DW profile.
Add “/feed” at the end of URL and you will get feed for that particular author!

Here is an example:
My profile url – http://www.devilsworkshop.org/author/rahul
My feed url – http://www.devilsworkshop.org/author/rahul/feed

By the way, this is nice suggestion and I will surely optimize DW theme to incorporate this soon. 🙂

I like both avast and AVG,I used Avast. Presently using AVG free edition despite the fact AVG is not only antivirus anti-spyware is also inlcuded in it .

Yes Venkat
I dont like avast for its scanning speed for bigger files. Avast is really slow in scanning.

yes avg is good but sticky means sometime i won’t update sometimes it will show your pen drive with at least a thousand viruses and trojan and jam your sysytem memory well also the author missed very good anti viruses that are available free on net for example

Pc tools threatfire

bitdefender free version

free avira

Spyware terminator and i can mention few specific scanner well what i feel is that this article is incomplete.

I see a decline a quality of articles that Dw is publishing these days.

Rahul May 16, 2009

Well thanks for comment alok.

i am afraid your computer is infected from viruses. when my laptop infected last week even bitdefender failed to remove threats.

Avg, Avira and avast are most famous FREE program available online.

because pctool threatfire my laptop crased once.i am fan of bitdefender and better option but update option disabled in bitdefender in last few days for bitdefender, so, i removed it.

you will see great articles in future.
