Hiren’s BootCD 15.1

2012-05-12T00:11:00.000+07:00

Hiren's BootCD (also known as HBCD) is a bootable software CD containing a number of diagnostic programs such as partitioning agents, system performance benchmarks, disk cloning and imaging tools, data recovery tools, MBR tools, BIOS tools, and many others for fixing various computer problems. Many people consider HBCD an invaluable toolfor use in troubleshooting and recovery of computers; however, due to a questionable past, it has received little press.

As it is bootable, the operating system of the computer need not be available for the tools to be usable. All that is required is that the computer is able to run Microsoft Windows and Linux (but it does not have to have either of these installed at the time of use). Some of the tools are also available when the operating system is already started.

Panda Cloud Antivirus

2010-12-16T04:58:00.000+07:00

As the cloud computing has started and the number of software starts growing slowly (it is still in a beginning), one of the most demanding software type is surely an antivirus.

Here comes: Panda Cloud Antivirus
The first free antivirus from the cloud You'll need an internet connection to install and run the antivirus.
Panda Cloud Antivirus is the best free antivirus software available... the next evolution of anti-malware technology.

So what is the difference?
You install just a part of the software, main program, virus database and required tools are remotely hosted and the antivirus itself executes on a remote server, not at your computer, but whole process runs smooth as installed locally. The other difference is that the cloud antivirus require working internet connection to be able to work, scan and clean your computer from viruses and malware.
The main new features and fixes included in Panda Cloud Antivirus 1.3 are the following:

Malicious Web & URL Filtering. This feature blocks websites that push malware, exploits and drive-by downloads. It is available both in Free and in Pro Editions and is installed by the toolbar. Unlike similar solutions, this web filtering works at a low level so it works under all browsers: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc. For those of you that didn’t install the toolbar but would like to install the Web & URL Filtering, you can download it from here and install it manually.
Unified Recycle Bin and Quarantine. Previously the Recycle Bin handled suspicious detections and the Quarantine handled deleted malware detections. This has been unified into a new Recycle Bin for ease of management. This is included in both Free and Pro Editions.
Automatic and transparent upgrades to new product versions, previously only available in the Pro Edition, this is now available in the Free Edition as well. All users of Free Editions versions 1.1.0, 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 will automatically and transparently upgrade to the new 1.3. See notes below for the upgrade schedule.
Hot updating of behavioural blocking rules. In order to increase protection on the fly against new vulnerabilities and attacks and to fix false positives, hot updating of behavioural blocking rules allows faster response time in both the Free and Pro Editions.
Immediate notifications of virus detections. Previously if Panda Cloud Antivirus encountered multiple viruses, it would delay its traybar notification and show them grouped. This behaviour has been changed so that the notifications are shown immediately.
Suspicious detection counter. Under the statistics window there’s some new counters for the different types of heuristics and behavioural detections.
New versioning format. Unified versioning format in GUI and other parts of the program.
Many bugfixes as reported by users in our support forum:
– Fixed issue with Windows 7 Start menu slow-down.
– Fixed Panda traybar icon disappearing.
– Fixed “you are not connected to the Internet” message when there is connection.
– Fixed issue when Free Edition users can activate behavioural analysis.
– Fixed slow-down and conflicts while playing Allods Online and AION.
– Fixed cloud-response time configuration which defaults to 30 seconds.
– Fixed constant accesses to the floppy disk drive.
– Fixed BSOD issue after install.
– Fixed bug while exporting an empty report to TXT/CSV.
– Fixed Conficker detection.
– Fixed BSOD while compressing malicious PDFs.
– Fixed translation errors.

If you have Panda Cloud Antivirus 1.1.0, 1.1.1 or 1.1.2, you will get the upgrade automatically and transparently over the course of the next few days

All in One PDF Tweaks: jPDF Tweak

2010-12-14T22:10:00.000+07:00

jPDF Tweak is a Java Swing application that can combine, split, rotate, reorder, watermark, encrypt, sign, and otherwise tweak PDF files.
You can use it to make printable booklets from your PDFs, to add PDF bookmarks, effects (page transitions), to combine multiple PDF files, to watermark them, to rotate pages that do not fit, to attach files to your PDF, to encrypt and sign your PDFs, to change metadata (like author or keywords), and much more.

jPDF Tweak uses the excellent iText library for manipulating PDF files, and JGoodies Forms for the GUI.
jPDF Tweak requires Java 5 or higher. You can download it from Sun.
There are two binary versions available, a compact one and a normal one. The compact one uses an obfuscator to make the application smaller. So, the compact one has the same features as the normal one. Only if you have problems using the compact one for a task, or if you want to report a bug, try the normal one. The normal version produces better error messages, and - of course - the obfuscator might have bugs as well. If you want to download the libraries separately, there is another version without libraries available (it won't work without libraries).

Binary download, normal version (Version 1.0-rc1, 3396 KB)
Download without libraries (Version 1.0-rc1, 187 KB, you will need the libraries from somewhere else)

Test your Antivirus with a fake Computer Virus.

2010-12-03T03:47:00.000+07:00

Window’s users, know that you must have an Anti-Virus installed to protect you from Malware. But have you ever seen your Anti-Virus pop-up and warn you that you are infected? If not, why not test it? No, I do not mean you should go out there and find Malware to purposely infect your computer. Test it with a fake Virus.

NOTE: This is for fun purposes only and no, it is not a real virus. This is used to actually test Anti-Virus Software.

Create an empty “.txt” file. ( Right click on your desktop >New> Text document ) or Start > Accessories > Notepad
Paste this code in the text file:
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
Save it and you should get a pop up from your anti-Virus (or scan it ) to do a clean up.

That’s it. I tried this using avast! Antivirus. It worked! Below are some screenshots.

Again this will not harm your computer. Test at your own risk.

Helps kids practice their math with TuxMath

2010-11-25T15:51:00.005+07:00

Tux Math 1.9.0 has been released in source code form and as an executable win32 installer. This release features LAN multiplayer action - all players compete to answer the same questions, and the first correct answer gets the points! For the first time, the Windows build has proper library support to correctly display non-Western languages. "Under the hood", the extensive code reworking has mostly been completed, so users can expect to see a resumption of work on improved visible features. Most TuxMath users will want to obtain this significant upgrade.
TuxMath is an arcade game that helps kids practice their math facts. The main goal is to make it effective and fun!

TuxMath 1.9.0 is available for download as source tarballs and Win32 installer builds. TuxMath now features head-to-head play over a local network, suitable for school tournaments and similar competitions. As this is a new feature, some bugs may be present. The Windows build now has the libary support needed for proper display of non-Western text (the Linux version has had this for some time). Also, most images are now stored as SVG images for proper display at any resolution. In summary, release 1.9.0 is a significant upgrade that most users will want to get.
Download:
Windows(tested on 2000, XP, Vista): Executable installer for Windows 2000, XP, Vista (and probably other Windows versions).

Macintosh OS X : Alternatively, if you have MacPorts installed, the latest version of TuxMath can be installed by simply typing: sudo port install tuxmath

Ubuntu and other Debian-based Linux: For Ubuntu users or anyone who prefers "apt-get" over "aptitude", the command is: sudo apt-get install tuxmath

RPM-based Linux: The Tux4Kids applications are available in the standard repositories of all major (GNU)-Linux distributions, and can be installed using the package manager. For the latest versions, individual RPM packages for TuxMath and TuxType can be found by searching the OpenSUSE Build Service. 32-bit and 64-bit packages are available for all recent versions of Fedora, OpenSUSE, and Mandriva.

Source: Standard *.tar.gz "tarball" source archive, suitable for building using "./configure; make; sudo make install". IMPORTANT - now TuxMath requires that the t4k_common library be installed first (see below). See the README and INSTALL files for list of required libs.

t4k_common library: Standard *.tar.gz "tarball" source archive for the t4k_common library. This must be installed before building tuxmath-1.9.0 (or later) from source. The Windows binary already has t4k_common included. The t4k_common libary can be built with "./configure; make; sudo make install" like other standard packages. See README and INSTALL for details.

Awesome Fonts in Blogger Template Designer

2010-11-23T15:21:00.000+07:00

Base Post by Wongoo Lee, Software Engineer
Self expression is a beautiful thing. It’s one of the best things about having a blog—a place where you can control the look and feel of your message and how it’s presented. Today we’re excited to announce another amazing way to make your blog truly you—Web Fonts.

The Web has traditionally been pretty limited when it comes to font selection, especially for non-Latin alphabets such as Cyrillic and Greek. But great strides have been made in this arena by our friends on the Google Web Fonts team, and finally there are more choices out there than just Arial and Times New Roman. In fact, there are now 40 new fonts on Blogger in Draft for you to choose from. And we’re just getting started—lots more to come!

Simply go into the Advanced tab of the Blogger Template Designer, select the type of text you’d like to change (Post Title, Page Text, etc.) and pick from a number of exciting, new fonts such as Reenie
Beanie (which we've used for the title of this post!) or Neucha (Cyrillic) or GFS Didot (Greek) or even Hanuman (Khmer). You will be spoilt with choice!

Try Linux via Flash Drive

2010-11-22T03:19:00.001+07:00

Are you an average computer user that is only aware of Windows and Mac OS’s? If so, I have a revelation for you; these OS’s are not the only operating systems available for your computer. For example, there is Linux. Yet with Linux, there are many different versions also know as distros. The most popular of the these distros, in my opinion, are Fedora and Ubunntu. Ubuntu is perhaps the most user friendly.
On a quick note, I would like to mention that you can run Windows on a Mac and Mac OSX on a typically Window Machine with a bit of work.
Subsequently, the main focus of today’s tip is to allow the average user (or power user) to try out Linux. The objective is to run an entire OS from a flash drive (or a CD, if you still use those ).
First, one must download a distribution of Linux. Below are a few of them

Next, install
The Universal USB Installer , get it here

Once you have downloaded and have the program running, install on a 2gb flash drive and follow the on-screen instructions.

This Software automates the entire process for you.
Once it is completed, you may now boot Linux from your Flash Drive.
In order to do so, SHUTDOWN your computer and power it on BUT press f2 or Del (for PC) or which ever message that prompts you to the boot menu, similar to the image below

Change the boot order to “first be removable drive” or you may also see your flash drive listed there.
Then once you exit, make sure the flash drive is plugged in. It should boot from your flash drive instead of your hardrive and voila! Linux has appeared.
Once prompted, select Run and try it out!

Instant Previews in Google Search

2010-11-17T02:14:00.000+07:00

If you’ve used Google Search recently, you may have noticed a new feature that is calling Instant Previews. By clicking on the (sprited) magnifying glass icon next to a search result you see a preview of that page, often with the relevant content highlighted. Once activated, you can mouse over the rest of the results and quickly (instantly!) see previews of those search results, too.

For some previews, highly relevant parts of the page will appear in text call out boxes over the preview image to help you see where your query appears on the page.

Benefits
Quickly Compare Results
A visual comparison of search results helps you pick which result is right for you.
Pinpoint Relevant Content
Text call outs highlight where your search term appears on the web page so you can evaluate if it’s what you're looking for.
Interact with the Results Page
Page previews let you see the layout of a web page before clicking the search result.

Secrets of the Start menu - Feature on Windows 7

2010-11-04T13:13:00.001+07:00

If you use Windows 7, you almost certainly use the Start menu on a daily basis. But how much do you really know about it? Sure, it's the default way to launch applications and even to search for files and programs.

But there's more to the Start menu - much more. Microsoft has tucked away lots of little surprises and a surprising amount of customisation options in the updated Start menu.

Read on for a taste of what you have probably been missing.

Launch URLs
Launching programs is just the beginning of what you do with the Windows 7 Start orb. You can think of the Start menu as a web browser, too - or at least a launchpad for web pages. For example, you can go directly to any domain by opening the Start menu and typing the web address, as in http://aiofree.com.

Or, even better, you can use the Start menu just like a search engine. To do so, first open the Start menu and type "gpedit.msc," and then press Enter. The Local Group Pollicy Editor will open.

From there, in the left-hand pane under User Configuration, expand the Administrative Templates folder, and then select Start Menu and Taskbar. In the right-hand pane, double-click "Add Search Internet link to Start Menu," and click Enabled in the resulting dialog box.

Click OK. Once you have done that, you can open the Start menu and type any search phrase, just as you would in a search engine. Directly above the search field will be an item labeled "Search the Internet." Click that, and your web browser will launch, with the search results for your phrase displayed immediately.

Pin apps and files
Applications find their way to the top level of the Start menu according to how recently or how often they are used. That's a handy feature, but most of us have programs that we'd like to have always pinned to the top level for quick access.

There are a couple of ways to pin programs permanently to the top level of the Start menu. First, if you open your Start menu and see a program that you'd like to have permanently on the top level, just grab it with your mouse cursor and start dragging it to the top of the Start menu.

The words "Pin to Start menu" will appear, and at that point you can simply let the icon go, and it will be pinned to the top of the menu.

If you are a couple of levels into the Start menu and you see a program you want pinned to the top level, just right-click the icon and select "Pin to Start menu" from the context-sensitive menu. Again, the application will be pinned to the top of the menu.

You can also pin documents or files to the top of your Start menu. To do so, locate the file using Windows Explorer or another file selection tool, and drag the file to the Start orb. When you see the words "Pin to Start menu," just release your mouse button, and your file will snap to the top of the Start menu.

Customise it
If you haven't customised your Windows 7 Start menu, find out what you have been missing. Right-click the Start menu, and select Properties from the pop-up menu. In the resulting Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog box, click the Customise button to launch the Customise Start Menu dialog.

There, you'll see a couple dozen ways that you can make the Start menu your own - and make it much more useful than it is by default. Many of the options there control the items that appear on the right side of the Windows 7 Start menu.

For instance, you can give yourself direct Start-menu access to features you probably considered the domain of other applications. Your browser's Favourites menu, for example, can be ported directly to the right side of the Start menu, as can links to your network, documents, homegroup, downloads, and videos.

You can even bring back the Run command, which was available by default in the Start menu of earlier version of Windows. You can also create more space in the Start menu by turning off the "large icons" option.

Finally, notice the "Number of recent programs to display" setting at the bottom of the Customise Start Menu dialog box. Adjust this number up or down to change how many recently-launched applications show on the top level of the Start menu - on the left-hand side. Increasing the number from the default of 10 will, of course, make your Start menu longer.

If you end up being unhappy with your customisations of the Start menu and want to return to the default settings, click the Use Default Settings button.
