Improve your PC Security

www.malwarecity.com

You only have to pick up a newspaper or check out a news website to hear about the latest and greatest security threat. Malwarecity is a new site from the creators of BITDEFENDER, one of the numerous PC antivirus solutions available.

The site is aimed at providing information on the latest threats to PC security but is a little more “trendy” than others out there. The objective, of course, is so that you buy an antivirus application from Bitdefender but it does provide a useful resource and tells you about some of the latest security problems.

Overall we thought the site was OK but what we would really love is one of the Internet security companies to come up with an impartial site that lists all the products and all the solutions on the market. We know this is wishful thinking but they are all working towards the same goal – protecting your PC.

We’re giving the site two stars at the moment – Malwarecity is useful and can educate those people who know very little about PC security but more tools would really make this a great site – Go on Bitdefender – less sales and a bit more help and we’d love you.

Going Out in the North West

www.onionring.co.uk

The big question for everyone on a Friday and Saturday night is where shall we go to? But what is the best way to find somewhere do you work on a recommendation or just go and see.

Onionring was created as a way for people in the North West to find some of the best pubs, restaurants and bars that you may not of actually heard of unless you lived locally. It features an easy to use search facility that allows you to search by town, shows any special offers they may have and also if they have an online booking system.

Admittedly the adverts are paid for but don’t let this detract from the site – The team at whatsgoodontheweb are regular users. The downside – the reviews take a bit of time to find – you have to look at the venue before you can see them.

All in all if you are looking for a bar or restaurant it’s a great idea, and you never know the concept may just spread in the future to other areas. If you know of any similar guide sites please let us know. We will review them (especially as we like our grub).

As it is only for the North West we are giving the site two stars at the moment, add more areas and make the user reviews easier to find and this will definitely go up.

Game Downloads, Reviews and News

www.bigdownload.com

A couple of people here at whatsgoodontheweb like games so we thought it was only right to find a site that has a few trailers and demos ready for download. Generally speaking you can find news and reviews on this US web site the latest games. A simple and easy navigation means that you can generally find what you want without to much hassle.

The site is backed by AOL so it has some big money behind it but don’t let this put you off – all we want now is a UK site of the same calibre especially as there are loads of games on here we’ve never heard of that look really good.

The final great feature is that you can also check out the latest games news - what’s happening and when but it does take you through to AOL – we’d rather see this as a stand alone part of the site.

We’re rating this two stars at the moment (mainly as it is US focused) but if your running the equivalent in the UK please let us know.
