Plot

Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3, Wii and Mac OSX Version
The game focuses on the adventures of the toys of a boy named Andy: a sheriff cowboy doll named Woody, a cowgirl doll called Jessie, a stuffed horse called Bullseye, a toy space ranger called Buzz Lightyear (Buzz for short), Hamm the Piggy Bank, Rex the toy T-Rex (Mr. and Mrs. Potato Head are excluded from the game) and Slinky the dog. The game starts as Woody stares out at a passing train. He realizes it is s of tied-up orphans and goes to rescue them. As he jumps on Bullseye, he encounters the Evil Dr, Pork Chop (who is actually Hamm). After a chase after the train, Woody has to save the orphans, in the same time trying to defeat Dr. Pork Chop. As Woody makes his way to the head of the train, he rescues the orphans, giving them to Buzz. He then defeats Dr. Porkchop by damaging his flying saucer. It is revealed it is just a story Hamm is telling the toys of the toys' new owner, a girl called Bonnie. Hamm then continues the story, with the assistance of Slinky and Rex.
Years later, Andy is off to college, and they decide to have one last shot to have him play with them, and plan to attract him using the house's phones. They send Rex to the basement to the home phone to make a call to Andy's cellphone, while they go get the cell phone itself. However, after they finish getting Andy's cell phone, Rex does not call the cell phone, so they go to the basement themselves. Using Sarge's toy soldiers, they get the phone down, and tell Sarge and his men to bring the phone back to Andy's room while they go find Rex, who was busy playing a Buzz Lightyear video game(which appears in the opening scene of Toy Story 2). The plan fails, so they go to Sunnyside Daycare, where they are greeted by a teddy bear called Lot'so Huggin Bear (or Lotso), who has prepared a "Welcome New Toys" carnival in honor of their arrival, giving them fun games to play. Woody still thinks he should be with Andy, and escapes from Sunnyside, but ends up at Bonnie's house, where Bonnie plays with him along with her other toys, making up a story of how a witch destroys the house. Woody dodges the witches attacks. The witch destroys the house, but Woody finds a spaceship which they can escape in, and after powering it up with batteries, he escapes with the toys.
Meanwhile, back at Sunnyside, Lotso's bad side is revealed, and he locks the toys up in high security cells, with patrolling trucks and spotlights guarding them. Woody returns to the rescue, and with the help of the advice given by a toy phone, he manages to free the toys and escape.
The toys end up in a garbage truck and are sent to the dump. Buzz, Jessie, Woody end up on a conveyor belt heading toward a shredder. Jessie and Woody escape the conveyor belt and manage to stop it while Buzz (who was programmed back to normal) saves the three squeeze toy aliens. They find that the other toys are stuck on a piece of trash on a conveyor belt headed for the incinerator. They team up to stop the conveyor belt. Buzz stops the machine by throwing a cube of trash into the machine, causing an explosion, stopping the conveyor belt, and instead of going to Andy's they go to stay at Bonnie's place.
PlayStation 2 and PlayStation Portable Version
Rex looks back at the toy's past encounters with the help of his drawings, and tells the story of the film.
Andy is going to college, and hasn't played with the toys in years, so the toys decide to get his attention using the Andy's mobile phones. However, the plan fails, and Andy merely takes the phone from Rex's hand and closes the toy box. Andy's mother tells Andy to start packing for college. Andy decides to bring Woody to college and puts the other toys in a trash bag, and plans to put them in the attic. But before Andy can, his mother puts the bag on the curve, mistaking it for trash. The toys escape the bag thanks to Rex's tail and go to the garage to hide. Buzz decides to go to Sunnyside Daycare with the toys so they can be played with once again. Woody rushes down to tell the toys about the mistake, but Andy's mom comes and drives them to the daycare center.
Woody decides to go back to Andy, but gets stuck in a tree in the process and is brought home by a girl named Bonnie. Meanwhile, the other toys meet a friendly strawberry scented bear named Lotso, who places them in the caterpillar room. The toys realize that the kids in the caterpillar room are too young to play toys and the kids damage the toys. Buzz decides to go ask Lotso for a transfer to the Butterfly room, but Lotso refuses and switches Buzz to demo mode, making Buzz think he's a real Space Ranger again and locks his friends up for being minions of Zurg. Woody learns of this from Chuckles, one of Bonnie's toys and returns to Sunnyside and helps the toys escape, but they end up in a garbage truck going to the dump.
In the dump, they nearly fall into the incinerator, but are saved by the squeeze toy aliens, who use a crane to save them. The toys decide to return to Andy's home using a garbage truck, but Buzz falls out and ends up on top of a car several trucks, car and motor-bikes away from the garbage truck, but manages to join the gang after jumping through vehicles to the truck.
Back home, Woody decides that they should go to Bonnie's place and changes the words on the toys' box. Andy reluctantly gives the toys to Bonnie.
As Rex looks as his pictures, Jessie's tells them that Bonnie is home. Rex happily leaves, preparing for playtime.

Development

Toy Story 3 was first announced at E3 in 2010, along with the app for the iPhone and iPod touch that lets fans play, personalize and stay connected to Toy Story. Disney Interactive later announced the Exclusive Content for the PS3 version on the game's release, including the ability to play as Emperor Zurg or unlock additional mini-games designed specifically for PlayStation Move motion controller.
According to an interview with the developers of the game, the developers wanted to give Pixar choices rather than dictate play, so they offered two pitches when they went to the studio with ideas in 2008. The first was a more traditional treatment of a movie licence game, where the player retells the film and hit the big beats of the story. The second pitch was this free-form mode which they called the Toy Box mode. Pixar loved the ideas and suggested that they develop both.

Reception


Critical Response

Toy Story 3 has received generally positive reviews. IGN scored the PS3 and Xbox 360 version an 8.0, while scoring the Wii version a 7.5.GameSpot gave 7.0 for the PS3 and Xbox 360 version. The Official Nintendo Magazine scored the Wii and DS versions 80% saying that it was one of its kind but had horrendous voice acting which contrasts with IGN's review, who said the voice acting was "superb". Nintendo Power gave the Wii version a 7.5, calling it "surprisingly fun", while Game Informer had given the PS3 and Xbox 360 versions an 8, and the Wii version a 6/10, being the game's lowest score. Game Informer criticized the Wii version for its graphical downstep and "neutered Toy Box mode" (vs. PS3 and Xbox 360 version) where in this version "the missions are too repetitive, customization is barren, and its only 1-player, leaving in its place an eternal slog of fetching items."


Sales

Toy Story 3 was a top-seller in the UK. Toy Story 3 claimed its third week at number one of the UK s-price software charts over the weekend, whilst its big-screen counterpart also held onto the Box Office top spot.

    AVG ANTI VIRUS  


    The brand AVG comes from Grisoft's first product, "Anti-Virus Guard", launched in 1992 in Czechoslovakia. In 1997, the first AVG licenses were sold in Germany and UK. AVG was introduced in the U.S. in 1998. 
    The AVG Free Edition helped raise awareness of the AVG product line. 
    In 2006, the AVG security package grew to include anti-spyware, as AVG Technologies acquired ewido Networks, an anti-spyware group. That same year, Microsoft announced that AVG components would be available directly within the Windows Vista operating system.
    AVG Technologies acquired Exploit Prevention Labs (XPL) in December 2007, and incorporated that company's LinkScanner safe search and surf technology into the AVG 8.0 security product range released in March 2008.
    In January 2009, AVG Technologies acquired Sana Security, a developer of identity theft prevention software. This software was incorporated into the AVG security product range released in March 2009.
    According to AVG Technologies, over 106 million users have AVG Anti-Virus protection, including users of the Free Edition. 


    Products


    Versions for Windows desktop clients

    AVG Technologies provides a number of products from the AVG range, suitable for Windows 2000 onwards. In addition to this, AVG Technologies also provides Linux, FreeBSD, and most recently Mac OS X versions of the software. AVG Anti-Virus 9.0 is available in free and commercial editions. AVG 9.0 has identity theft protection through a partnership with Intersections Inc., AVG 9.0 also adds white listing, behavioral protection and cloud operations to their signature-based blocking. The software adds the Resident Shield, firewall, and identity protection modules. The LinkScanner component has been improved to cut phishing threats further.  Version 9 was the last version compatible with Windows 2000.
    For desktop protection of PC's running Windows, the AVG solutions include:
    • AVG Internet Security is a s suite which brings together the AVG Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, LinkScanner, Anti-Rootkit, Web Shield, Security Toolbar, Firewall, Anti-Spam, Identity Protection and System Tools protection components.
    • AVG Identity Protection provides protection against identity theft and unknown malware threats using behavioral monitoring.
    • AVG Anti-Virus plus Firewall provides the Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, LinkScanner, Anti-Rootkit, Web Shield, Security Toolbar and Firewall protection components.
    • AVG Anti-spyware was a rebranded version of ewido Anti-Spyware,  that was integrated into AVG Anti-Virus as of version 8.0. A free version was also available, having now been merged into AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition
    • AVG Anti-Rootkit was a free anti-Rootkit program that was discontinued as of late 2006. Like AVG Anti-Spyware, it has now been merged into AVG Anti-Virus
    • AVGADMIN is a remote administration tool, which allows the software to be managed centrally on networks. 
    • AVG Anti-Virus provides the Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, LinkScanner, Anti-Rootkit, Web Shield, and Security Toolbar protection components.
    • AVG Search a search engine by AVG which provides less risk in internet searching.
      • Like other security products,  AVG disables Windows Defender.
    • AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition provides basic, Anti-Virus and Anti-Spyware protection, plus the s AVG LinkScanner safe search and surf technology. There are some limitations with AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition compared to the commercial versions of AVG products and other free antivirus. These limitations include:
      • Less protection – AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition provides the same anti-virus and anti-spyware scanning engine as the commercial product; however, it lacked anti-rootkit protection until 2010. The older 7.5 Free Edition is perfectly capable of finding and disabling rootkits based on signatures, but cannot scan for rootkit-like activity. The 8.5 version of AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition version lacks any anti-rootkit capability. While there is no official protection for files from messaging sources, the Resident Shield component automatically scans files before they are opened or copied.
      • Infrequent updates – AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition receives updates via a lower priority service. Priority updating via high-speed servers is only available for the commercial versions of AVG products.
      • No telephone or e-mail technical support – There is no telephone or e-mail technical support provided by AVG for users of AVG Free Edition products anywhere in the world. AVG Free Edition users have access to support via the self-help AVG Free Forum.
      • Less customization – Scheduling options in AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition are very limited (only one scheduled update per day). However, the AVG Resident Shield configuration allows exclusions. The on-demand/scheduled scanner allows advanced testing options such as heuristics and reporting of password-protected archives reporting. Process priority for on-demand/scheduled scans can be dynamically adjusted over three different configurations.
      • No server support – AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition cannot be installed on server operating systems (such as Windows Server 2003), nor can it be used for the scanning of network drives. Note, the newer AVG 2011 free edition can be installed on Server operating systems like Windows Server R2.
      • AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition is only licensed for home and non-commercial use on a single computer.
    AVG Free Edition has previously been responsible for popup ads advertising the non-free versions of AVG Anti-Virus and AVG Internet Security, which claim to provide more comprehensive levels of protection  AVG Anti-Virus 8.5 Free Edition users are now also subject to a daily pop-up advertising campaign for a "recommended upgrade" to AVG Internet Security. A "manager" on the AVG free version forum states that this advertisement appears once per day for one month each year. 
    All versions of the AVG products, excluding AVG Anti-Rootkit Free Edition (now discontinued), are compatible with the 64-bit edition of Windows.


    Versions for servers

    AVG Technologies also sells AVG anti-virus and Internet security solutions for web/file servers or email servers running either Linux, FreeBSD or Windows.
    • AVG Internet Security Business Edition provides centrally controlled protection for workstations and file servers, e-mail server and Microsoft SharePoint server protection, plus e-mail server based anti-spam protection.
    • AVG Anti-Virus Business Edition provides centrally controlled anti-virus and anti-spyware protection for workstations and file servers.
    • AVG File Server Edition provides anti-virus and anti-spyware protection for file servers.
    • AVG E-mail Server Edition provides anti-virus and anti-spyware protection for e-mail servers, plus e-mail server based anti-spam protection.


    AVG for Linux/FreeBSD

    With version 7.5, AVG Technologies is providing a solution for FreeBSD for the first time. AVG Technologies has incorporated spam detection in addition to virus detection for Linux/FreeBSD software .


    Features

    AVG features most of the common functions available in modern anti-virus and Internet security programs, including periodic scans, scans of sent and received emails (including adding footers to the emails indicating this), the ability to "repair" some virus-infected files, and aquarantine area: "virus vault/chest" in which infected files are held.
    A handy & clear (if somewhat misleading) feature / product comparison table is at Free vs Paid

     LinkScanner

    The patent pending LinkScanner technology acquired from Exploit Prevention Labs and built into most AVG products, provides real-time updated protection against exploits and drive-by downloads. LinkScanner includes: Search-Shield – a safe search component that places safety ratings next to each link in Google, Yahoo! and MSN search results; plus Active Surf-Shield – a safe surf component that scans the contents of a web site in real-time to ensure it's safe being opened.  Concerns regarding web analytics have made Link Scanner a controversial component (see "Link Scanner Concerns").


    Concerns

    When AVG 8.0 was first released, its LinkScanner safe search feature was shown to cause an increase in traffic on web sites that appear high in search engine results pages. Since LinkScanner disguises the scans as coming from an Internet Explorer 6 browser when it prescans each site listed in the search results, web site usage logs showed incorrect and overinflated site visitor statistics. The prescanning of every link in search results also caused web sites to transfer more data than usual, resulting in higher bandwidth usage for web site operators and slow performance for users.  AVG initially said site administrators would be able to filter the LinkScanner traffic out of their site statistics, leaving the problem of excess bandwidth usage still to be solved.  Pay-per-click advertising was not affected by the increase in traffic.
    In response to complaints, AVG announced that as of July 9, 2008 "Search-Shield will no longer scan each search result online for new exploits, which was causing the spikes that webmasters addressed with us",  releasing a new build on that date that applies a local blacklist, then prefetches and scans only those links clicked on by the user. 


    Resource requirements

    AVG usually supports several products and usually the two latest versions of each, as well as the AVG Beta Program. Additionally, each product is available for only certain operating environments ("System Requirements").
    Version 2012 of AVG (Basic, Internet Security, ...) released in 2011. AVG also advertises 3rd party services to remove what AVG doesn't/can't.
    Version 2011 of 5 AVG products (Free, Business, Home) for AVG & AVG Internet Security, ...)
    Version 9 of AVG (Free, Internet Security, ...), released before June 2010.
    Version 8.5, both AVG Anti-Virus and AVG Internet Security require at least 256 MB of RAM for the computer as a minimum.[17][18] The comparatively high use of paged physical RAM has led to crashes with some software, such as the Half-Life 2 series .
    Version 7.5 of AVG Free requires a Pentium (or compatible) CPU with 300 MHz and between 64–256 MB of RAM, depending on operating system (at least 64 MB with Windows 9x, at least 128 MB with Windows 2000 or newer, with more RAM recommended). 
    An additional caveat with version 7.5 in Windows XP, which is a multi-user system that allows more than one user to be logged in at a time, is that scheduled scans ran as separate processes, which created a situation in which there were two scheduled scans, one in each active account, running simultaneously and causing heavy hard disk throttling and considerable system lag. This fault was finally fixed in version 8.0 of the program.
    During its version 6.0 run, AVG was known for its conservative resource requirements . The AVG Anti-Virus Professional Edition required 16 MB of RAM and 20 MB of space on the hard drive 


    Problems

    • When uninstalling AVG version 7 or 8 in Windows XP/Vista and attempting to install other anti-virus programs such as Kaspersky Anti-Virus or Norton AntiVirus, the latter programs will not install. Instead, they show an "incompatible software installed" error even if the uninstalled software has been removed using the control panel. This happens because software that updates and changes can add registry entries that were not added when the product was originally installed (therefore the uninstaller is unaware of the registry keys). 
    • A signature update dated November 9, 2008, crippled some computers, as it allowed the software to treat "user32.dll", a major component of Windows XP/Vista, as a trojan and advised users to delete it. Users who deleted the file in question were put on a continuous reboot loop. The problem was rectified a few days later with a new signature database and further safeguards were added to the product (270.9.0/1778). 
    • Towards the end of July 2009, a software update caused the program to inform users that iTunes was infected  with a non-existent virus, Small.BOG. If users followed the recommended instructions, it would remove critical DLL files and corrupt the iTunes installation. 
    • An update of AVG 2011 resulted in Windows 7 64-bit systems being caught up in a continuous reboot loop. The update has now been removed.
