I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.
In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.
To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.
Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.

Is this any better than Trend Micro's free online virus scan? I'm not concerned with 'real time' virus protection, just a scan every week or so.

Ive been using AntiVir for a few months now. it works great, updates quietly. the only annoyance would be the single pop up every other day.

Every time you update it there's a giant popup window on your screen nagging you to buy it. Screw that crap.

uh, unless youre stupid, and want your computer to run painfully slow, why would you run two antivirus programs, probably 95% of whose definitions and heuristics overlap and are redundant?
scanning a file twice for the same thing is a waste of your time.

To test out a new application without uninstalling the old one that you trust to keep your computer safe.

I don't know if this is allowed, but you can disable the nag screen fairly easy:

Avira is low on resources, unlike avast (centrino 1500Mhz + 512 MB ram) and is a better antivirus then avg.

AVG now does pop-ups, too. They are annoying, but the software is free so how can anyone complain? Grisoft will up lose some customers because of the pop-ups, but if they aren't making money from customers using their "free" product, why should they care?
AVG isn't very resource intensive, except for once a day when it updates its definitions. For some reason, this really drags down the computer for 30 to 60 seconds.

Avira is simply the best detection out there. It rules over Norton and the rest period.
