AVG knows iTunes isn’t malware… | AVG sabe que iTunes no es software malicioso

English | Español

A few days ago, I was very lucky to have found a link that was going to give me free Indie songs via iTunes on Facebook. I was happy. Yet when I clicked on the link that was to open up the music software, something else appeared instead. It wasn’t the expected Apple software window; it was AVG telling me some iTunes files were infected with the Small.BOG virus. What?! I knew my iTunes software is virus-free. So I thought the only reason I got this message was that… AVG made a mistake.

Anyway, I decided to follow AVG’s recommendation. It’s the anti-virus software I’ve been using for many years along with SpywareBlaster, Spybot and CCleaner. I’ve tried some anti-virus apps previously, but they’ve used lots of system resources.They made my PC work slower. After AVG took care of the “problem,” iTunes wasn’t working. :(

This morning, I decided to update the anti-virus software. I was hoping this nuisance could be resolved soon.  Once I updated the virus database, I decided to repair the iTunes installation. A few minutes later, iTunes was already working once again. I didn’t lose any of my songs.

A mistake by an anti-virus software seldom happens. If it happens again, make sure to check for info on blogs or forums first. Such mistakes get fixed quickly. It’s time now to download the songs I was looking for.

Español | English

Hace unos días, fui muy afortunado al haber encontrado un enlace que me iba a dar canciones de grupos independientes gratis a través de iTunes en Facebook. Estaba feliz. Sin embargo, cuando hice clic en el  enlace que iba a abrir el software de música, algo más apareció en su lugar. No fue la esperada ventana del software de Apple; era AVG que me decía que unos archivos de iTunes estaban infectados con el virus Small.BOG. ¡¿Qué?! Sé que mi iTunes es un software libre de virus. Así que pensé que la única razón por la que recibí este mensaje era que … AVG había cometido un error.

De todos modos, decidí seguir la recomendación de AVG. Es el software anti-virus que he estado usando por varios años, junto con SpywareBlaster, Spybot y CCleaner. He tratado unas aplicaciones anti-virus previamente, pero han usado muchos de los recursos del sistema. Hicieron que mi PC funcionase más lento. Luego de que AVG se encargó del “problema”, iTunes no funcionaba. :(

Esta mañana decidí actualizar el software anti-virus. Tenía la esperanza que esta molestia podría resolverse pronto. Apenas actualicé la base de datos de virus, decidí reparar la instalación de iTunes. Unos minutos más tarde, iTunes ya está funcionando una vez más. No perdí ninguna de mis canciones.

Un error cometido por un software anti-virus raras veces sucede. Si esto pasa de nuevo, asegúrense de buscar en los blogs o foros en primer lugar. Tales errores se arreglan rápidamente. Ya es hora de descargar las canciones que buscaba.

A great way to learn Kanji with the iPhone | Una gran manera de aprender Kanji con el iPhone

Most gamers and virtually all anime fan must have seen Kanji, one of the three forms of Japanese writing, maybe without even knowing it. I do love to learn foreign languages and Japanese and Traditional Chinse are on top of my list. If you really want to learn the language of the Land of the Rising Sun and already own an iPhone or an iPod Touch, you should definitively get KanjiDo. With KanjiDo (previously known as iKanji), you can learn how to write basic and advanced-level Kanji words by first looking at the way they are written. The software then allows you to emulate the words shown. Every word comes with its meaning, pronunciation and order of strokes. The art, writing  and music are cool with excelelnt details  representative of Japanese culture. For a beginner in the Japanese language, this is one cool app to have.

Varios jugadores y casi todos los aficionados de anime deben haber visto Kanji, una de las tres formas de escritura japonesa, hasta tal vez sin saberlo. Me encantan aprender idiomas extranjeros y el japonés y el chino tradicional están primeros en mi lista. Si en realidad quieren aprender la lengua de la tierra del sol creciente y tiene ya un iPhone o un iPod Touch, definitivamente debe conseguir KanjiDo. Con KanjiDo (conocido antes como iKanji), ustedes pueden aprender a escribir palabras Kanji a nivel básico y avanzado al ver primero la manera en la que están escritas.  El software luego les permite emular las palabras mostradas. Cada palabra viene con su significado, pronunciación y orden de pinceladas. El arte, escritura y música son buenísimos con detalles excelentes representativos de la cultura japonesa . Para un novato de la lengua japonesa, esta es una muy buena aplicación que tener.
