AVG is one of the popular free antivirus software available for users. Perhaps, the most obvious indicator for this is when it was bought for $1.3 billion by Avast in 2016. AVG Free Antivirus software is similar to the AVG Internet Security but sans other features the former offers, given that it is free. But this does not mean that the protection it offers the users is compromised.

In fact, this year, AVG comes with an added layer of protection to its security toolkit to beat malware an unpatched vulnerabilities to a pulp. For the year 2017, AVG is designed with a security tool known as CyberCapture, a cloud-based system that separates roque and malicious files for analyzation, to provide protection from zero-second malware.

Moreover, AVG Free Antivuris 2017 boasts of the new Passive Mode. This feature will run two security tools on the system as well as protects the PC from malware sent online or through emails. Say, a user visits a suspicious and unsecure website, the Passive mode will do security checks and scans without disrupting the system.

Aside from these two security layers, a free performance scan has also been added to organize and de-clutter the hard drive. This works similarly like Piriform CCleaner in which files that clutter the system are identified and removed. Most frequently used programs, such as, Flash, Google Chrome and Adobe Reader will also be getting regular updates to fight bugs and fix vulnerability issues via an automatic software updater feature that has also been packaged in the latest AVG Free Software edition.

Since Avast already owns AVG, this means that the protection users get for free comes from basically two malware security providers, doubling the security features of devices and PCs with the AVG installed. And now that you know what to expect from AVG Free Antivirus 2017, it is wise to have your PC and devices protected with this software and for free.

As I mentioned when The Queue launched, although typically I will answer questions from readers, sometimes I'll switch that around and ask readers a question. I haven't done so since that initial column, so it's overdue. I recently asked two related questions at LinuxQuestions.org and the response was overwhelming. Let's see how the Opensource.com community answers both questions, and how those responses compare and contrast to those on LQ.

The first question I asked the LinuxQuestions.org community is: What are the reasons you use Linux?

oldwierdal: I use Linux because it is fast, safe, and reliable. With contributors from all over the world, it has become, perhaps, the most advanced and innovative software available. And, here is the icing on the red-velvet cake; It is free!

Timothy Miller: I started using it because it was free as in beer and I was poor so couldn't afford to keep buying new Windows licenses.

ondoho: Because it's a global community effort, self-governed grassroot operating system. Because it's free in every sense. Because there's good reason to trust in it.

joham34: Stable, free, safe, runs in low specs PCs, nice support community, little to no danger for viruses.

Ook: I use Linux because it just works, something Windows never did well for me. I don't have to waste time and money getting it going and keeping it going.

rhamel: I am very concerned about the loss of privacy as a whole on the internet. I recognize that compromises have to be made between privacy and convenience. I may be fooling myself but I think Linux gives me at least the possibility of some measure of privacy.

educateme: I use Linux because of the open-minded, learning-hungry, passionately helpful community. And, it's free.

colinetsegers: Why I use Linux? There's not only one reason. In short I would say:

bamunds: Because I love freedom.

cecilskinner1989: I use linux for two reasons: stability and privacy.

The second questions is, more broadly: What are the reasons you use open source software? You'll notice that, although there is a fair amount of overlap here, the general tone is different, with some sentiments receiving more emphasis, and others less.

robert leleu: Warm and cooperative atmosphere is the main reason of my addiction to open source.

cjturner: Open Source is an answer to the Pareto Principle as applied to Applications; OOTB, a software package ends up meeting 80% of your requirements, and you have to get the other 20% done. Open Source gives you a mechanism and a community to share this burden, putting your own effort (if you have the skills) or money into your high-priority requirements.

Timothy Miller: I like the knowledge that I can examine the source code to verify that the software is secure if I so choose.

teckk: There are no burdensome licensing requirements or DRM and it's available to everyone.

rokytnji: Beer money. Motorcycle parts. Grandkids birthday presents.

timl: Privacy is impossible without free software

hazel: I like the philosophy of free software, but I wouldn't use it just for philosophical reasons if Linux was a bad OS. I use Linux because I love Linux, and because you can get it for free as in free beer. The fact that it's also free as in free speech is a bonus, because it makes me feel good about using it. But if I find that a piece of hardware on my machine needs proprietary firmware, I'll use proprietary firmware.

lm8: I use open source software because I don't have to worry about it going obsolete when a company goes out of business or decides to stop supporting it. I can continue to update and maintain the software myself. I can also customize it if the software does almost everything I want, but it would be nice to have a few more features. I also like open source because I can share my favorite programs with friend and coworkers.

donguitar: Because it empowers me and enables me to empower others.

So, what are the reasons you use Linux? What are the reasons you use open source software? Let us know in the comments.

Lastly, what questions would you like to see answered in a future article? From questions on building and maintaining communities, to what you'd like to know about contributing to an open source project, to questions more technical in naturesubmit your Linux and open source questions.

Ever wondered what makes Mars rovers tick, or how weather systems are monitored? Nasa has released its 2017-2018 software catalog, including several programs that are available to the public to the first time.

The catalog covers every facet of space exploration and research, including environmental science, crew and life support, and data and image processing. Most of it is indeed rocket science (brilliant if you're an engineer, a model rocket hobbylist, or a fan of Kerbal Space Program) but tools like the Space Weather for Android app are fascinating for anyone with an interest in space and its impact on our lives.

"The software catalog is our way of supporting the innovation economy by granting access to tools used by today's top aerospace professionals to entrepreneurs, small businesses, academia and industry," explains Steve Jurczyk, associate administrator for Nasa's Space Technology Mission Directorate.

Not all software in the catalog is in the public domain (many programs are only available to US federal employees), but you can request anything marked General Public Release. The catalog has proved very popular, so there might be a delay in responding to your request, but its well worth the wait.
