Corel CONNECT is one of the fresh built-in applications that allow users to have quick access to content on a computer, network or disc, by synchronizing with both CorelDRAW and Corel PHOTO-PAINT. Compliant or supporting more than 100 commonly used file formats, the application makes sure that users can easily collaborate and exchange files with virtually anyone, from clients to colleagues. The color management has clearly been reinvented, as it now assures users with accurate color representation, while also permitting them to save project-specific colors, which can be reused in future projects.

Since the company got customers used to being provided with the widest selections of fonts, clip-art and other collateral content, the new suite includes 10,000 high quality clipart and digital images, 1,000 professional, high resolution, royalty-free digital photos, 1,000 OpenType fonts, included with Windows Glyph List4 and engraving fonts, as well as 2,000 vehicle templates and 350 professionally designed templates.

The Yahoo Messenger 10 is the next evolutionary step for the IM client, borrowing more than a few things from the previous Yahoo Messenger 9, but also incorporating a couple of big new features. The most touted one is the one-on-one video call feature introduced with the first beta version. It allows users to have real video calls with video and audio sync in real time.

It builds on the webcam features which have been available in Yahoo Messenger for several years now. However, it involves a lot of work both in the client itself but also in the back-end to make sure Yahoo’s infrastructure is up to the task. It only works if both users are on Yahoo Messenger 10, but there shouldn’t be anything holding you back from upgrading, now that the final version has been released.

The second big feature is the Updates tab, which shows up next to the Contacts, allowing you to switch between viewing your friends list or viewing their status updates from a number of services like Twitter, last.fm, Flickr, and a lot more. This way you can keep up with what your friends have to say right inside the IM windows. And the best part, if you see an interesting update, you can IM your friend about it straight away thanks to the built-in hover menu. The latest version comes with a lot smaller features and tweaks and you can see them for yourself by downloading it HERE.

Basically, the product is set to ship in three editions, free, professional and as a complete Internet Security Suite (ISS), something entirely new for ALWIL. Customers who currently own an avast! pro license will be able to upgrade to the new version for free, or acquire a license for the ISS by paying only the price difference between the two editions. According to the company, the heavily optimized antivirus engine will be identical in all editions and will feature a new behavioral-analysis component. Called the Behavior Shield, it monitors the system state via multiple sensors and blocks programs that try to perform malicious actions. A virtualization module will also be available, but for the Pro version only, while a code emulator will be used to inspect malware employing customer packers.

In addition to the new antivirus engine, as well as all the features specific to the Professional edition, the Internet Security Suite will include an antispam and a firewall module, configured to achieve the same worry-free user experience. The user interface has been completely redone and will no longer have two, simple and enhanced, versions. The design looks clean, professional and in line with the minimalist trend observed in the latest security offerings from other AV developers, such as Symantec’s Norton AntiVirus 2010 or Panda’s Cloud Antivirus. They also claim that the system-resource consumption has been significantly reduced and that the product’s influence on boot times is almost unnoticeable. So for now, we have to take its word for it, at least until we get our hands on the Beta version, which is expected to ship at the end of this month or at the beginning of August.
