xp-AntiSpy 3.96-5 Beta

The xp-AntiSpy is a little utility that lets you disable some built-in update and authentication 'features' in WindowsXP.
For example, there's a service running in the background which is called 'Automatic Updates'. I don't know what this service transfers from my machine to other machines on the internet, especially the MS ones. So I play it safe and disable such functions. If you like, you can even disable these functions manually, by going through the System and checking or unchecking some checkboxes. This will take you approximately half an hour. But why wast time when a little neat utility can do the same in 1 minute?
This utility was successfully tested by lots of users, and was found to disable all the known 'Suspicious' Functions in WindowsXP. It's customiseable, but comes up with the Default settings, which are recommended. Changes in Version 3.96-5:
"In the last time, many mails reached me asking about the xp-AntiSpy and its compatibility to Windows Vista. I do not have the time to answer them all, that's why i post a little update in here.
Since Vista keeps compatible to xp i do not have to rewrite the xp-AntiSpy, but there are indeed some changes.
At the weekend i had the chance to test the xp-AntiSpy on Vista. I also had the time to apply some changes, so the xp-AntiSpy would run also correctly on Vista.
Please gimme a short feedback to [ beta {at} xp-antispy {dot} org >if something looks wrong to you.
Greetings, -chris-"

O&O DiskRecovery 4.1.1334

O&O DiskRecovery V4 is the new and enhanced product developed by O&O for its professional Data Recovery line-up. O&O DiskRecovery V4 uses the most modern technology to put data recovery for almost every form of data loss at the user’s disposal. The new version offers support for an increased range of files, better support for user signatures and a new preview function for various types of files.
O&O DiskRecovery V4.1 functionality begins where other programs leave off. This software combs every sector of a hard disk, memory card, or digital camera to find lost files. Even when files systems are formatted or destroyed, it is possible to reconstruct once deleted data.
Over 350 file types can be recognized and restored, including Word documents, Excel workbooks, Access databases, and virtually every sort of commonly used graphics, photo, movie, and music formats (JPEG, AVI, MPEG, MP3, WAV, BMP, TIFF, Corel Draw, Photoshop, Framemaker, Adobe Illustrator, and many more). Don't give up on lost data! O&O DiskRecovery can still help even when things look hopeless.
O&O DeepScan
O&O DeepScan makes it possible to locate even the smallest of files deleted from critical ********s such as the Master File Table. Even such tiny files can now be recovered as O&O DeepScan deploys the maximum depth for scanning.
O&O SmartScan
O&O SmartScan solves the common problem during a data recovery that existing files are recovered as well as the deleted ones. O&O SmartScan has a filter that excludes existing files, significantly accelerating the scan and recovery process.
O&O RawScan
Should the deleted data be on a formatted data storage medium, by activating O&O RawScan the file system is ignored in the search, allowing even files on such media to be capable of rescue.
Now with more than 300 file types
The number of file types supported by O&O DiskRecovery V4.1 has been increased in the new version. One most notable addition is the support of OLE2-file types which improve the detection and reconstruction of Microsoft Word and Excel documents. You can increase the number of file types at any time by creating or integrating user-defined signatures. The creation of such user defined signatures now supports the integration of placeholders in a signature's code. Using this advanced signature function any type of file can now be integrated into O&O DiskRecovery V4.1.
New: Preview function
Upon completion of the scanning process it is now possible to preview the recovered data. O&O DiskRecovery V4 supports various picture and text formats for the preview function including JPEG, BMP, TIF and many more.
Supported storage media
O&O DiskRecovery V4.1 can recover data from all Windows supported data storage media. This includes, amongst others, internal und external hard disks (IDE, SATA, SCSI etc.), Digital cameras, MP3-Players, USB and Memory-Sticks, Memory Cards, CDs, DVDs und Diskettes. The only condition for a data recovery is that the data storage medium is recognized by Windows. However, it is not necessary to carry out a compatibility check through Windows in this regard. The rescued data can then be saved on any windows supported storage medium, provided it is not the medium from where the data was just recovered.
O&O DiskRecovery Highlights:
- Supports 64-bit versions and Microsoft Windows Vista
- Preview of files prior to recovery
- Definable size parameters for recovered data
- Recognizes and restores over 350 File types
- The unique O&O DeepScan locates even the smallest file
- User-defined signature with HexEdit control
- Supports ATA IDE/EIDE- and SCSI-Hard Drives, Diskettes and removable drives as well as Memory Cards and most Digital Cameras
- O&O SmartScan accelerates and simplifies the Recovery Procedure
- O&O InstantDiskRecovery V4 for data recovery without prior installation
- Even recovers data on storage media on which files have been damaged or destroyed by malfunctioning software

Mozilla Firefox 3.0 Alpha 4 Pre

Mozilla Firefox - faster, more secure, easier to use and sporting a new look, this latest Firefox release sets a new standard for web browser innovation. Mozilla Firefox project (formerly Firebird, which was formerly Phoenix) is a redesign of Mozilla's browser component, written using the XUL user interface language and designed to be cross-platform. It is small, fast and easy to use, and offers many advantages over other web browsers, such as the tabbed browsing and the ability to block pop-up windows.
Mozilla Firefox 3 is focused on improved memory handling, performance, and stability, improved XUL, and new core components such as application data stored in SQLite. Mozilla Firefox 3 could break a few existing extensions and applications built on top of Firefox, and it will definitely include new optimizations if you like to build on the popular browser. Mozilla Firefox 3 should have additional JavaScript and SVG features if you're into that sort of thing.
Features in Firefox include:
- Easy migration: Switching to Firefox has never been easier now that Firefox imports data like Favorites, history, settings, ******s and passwords from Internet Explorer. Firefox can also import settings from Mozilla 1.x, Netscape and Opera.
- Smaller Download: Continuing efforts to make this the most efficient browser, the Windows version of Firefox is now only a 4.7 MB download, making downloading Firefox a breeze for dial-up and broadband users alike.
- New Default Theme: A new default theme provides a bright new look for Windows and Linux users.
- SmartUpdate: A new SmartUpdate feature notifies users of new versions of Firefox to ensure that the browser is always up to date.
- Help: A new online help system makes this one powerful, friendly browser.
- Extension/Theme Manager: New Extension and Theme Managers provide a convenient and secure way to manage and update the hundreds of add-ons that set Firefox apart from other browsers.
Mozilla Firefox also includes numerous bug fixes and incremental improvements, including faster page load speed.
- Popup Blocking: Stop annoying popup ads in their tracks with Firefox's built in popup blocker.
- Tabbed Browsing: View more than one web page in a single window with this time saving feature. Open links in the background so that they're ready for viewing when you're ready to read them.
- Smarter Search: Google Search is built right into the toolbar, and there are a plethora of other search tools including Keywords (type "dict " in the ******** Bar), and FastFind (start typing the first few letters of some text in the page and Firefox takes you there).
- Privacy and Security: Built with your Security in mind, Firefox keeps your computer safe from malicious spyware by not loading harmful ActiveX controls. A comprehensive set of privacy tools keep your online activity your business.
- Hassle-Free Downloading: Files you download are automatically saved to your Desktop so they're easy to find. Fewer prompts mean files download quicker.
- Fits Like a Glove: Simple and intuitive, yet fully featured, Firefox has all the functions you're used to - Bookmarks, History, Full Screen, Text Zooming to make pages with small text easier to read, etc.
- S M L XL XXL XXXL: Firefox is the most customizable browser on the planet. Customize your toolbars to add additional buttons, install new Extensions that add new features, add new Themes to browse with style, and use the adaptive search system to allow you to search an infinite number of engines.

Paint.NET 3.05

Paint.NET is free image editing and photo manipulation software designed to be used on computers that run Windows. It supports layers, unlimited undo, special effects, and a wide variety of useful and powerful tools. It started development as an undergraduate college senior design project mentored by Microsoft, and is currently being maintained by some of the alumni that originally worked on it. Originally intended as a free replacement for the MS Paint software that comes with Windows, it has grown into a powerful yet simple tool for photo and image editing. The programming language used to create Paint.NET is C#, with a small amount of C++ for installation and shell-integration related functionality.
Paint.NET can be used to enhance and clean up your photographs. Using the Clone Stamp tool, the power lines that criss-crossed in front of the Space Needle were carefully removed. Other operations were performed that had the effect of smoothing out the image without blurring it, adding some "bloom" (glow), and increasing the contrast.
FEATURES:
Simple, intuitive user interface
Every feature and user interface element was designed to be immediately intuitive and quickly learnable without assistance. It is also designed to be immediately familiar to users of the original MS Paint software that comes with Windows.
Layers
Usually only found on expensive or complicated professional software, layers form the basis for a rich image composition experience. You may think of them as a stack of transparency slides that, when viewed together at the same time, form one image.
Powerful Tools
Paint.NET includes simple tools for drawing shapes, including an easy-to-use curve tool for drawing splines or Bezier curves. The Gradient tool, new for 3.0, has been cited as a huge improvement over similar tools provided by other software. The facilities for creating and working with selections is powerful, yet still simple enough to be picked up quickly. Other powerful tools include the Magic Wand for selecting regions of similar color, and the Clone Stamp for copying or erasing portions of an image. There is also a simple text editor, a tool for zooming, and a Recolor tool.
Unlimited History
Everybody makes mistakes, and everybody changes their mind. To accommodate this, every action you perform on an image is recorded in the History window and may be undone. Once you've undone an action, you can also redo it. The length of the history is only limited by available disk space.
Special Effects
Many special effects are included for perfecting your images. Everything from blurring, sharpening, red-eye removal, distortion, noise, and embossing are included. Also included is our unique 3D Rotate/Zoom effect that makes it very easy to add perspective and tilting.
Adjustments are also included which help you tweak an image's brightness, contrast, hue, saturation, curves, and levels. You can also convert an image to black and white, or sepia-toned.
Open Source and Free
Paint.NET is provided free-of-charge, and the source code (all 133,000 lines of it) is also available for free under generous licensing terms. The bulk of Paint.NET is written in C#, with only a small amount of code related to setup and shell-integration written in C++.
Changes in version 3.05 :
• New: Pencil Sketch effect
• New: In Windows Vista, the new-style Save/Open dialogs are used. Among other things, this enables Search functionality
• Changed: The View->Units, Image->Flip, Image->Rotate, and Layers->Flip submenus have been "flattened" (their commands were moved out into the View, Image, Image, and Layers menus respectively)
• Improved: Download size reduced by about 300 KB by using PNGOUT
• Improved: Some uses of confusing "MessageBox" style dialogs have been changed to a much friendlier "TaskDialog" style interface
• Improved: When changing the language, Paint.NET can now restart itself automatically
• Improved: Better performance for Move Selected Pixels tool for quad-core systems
• Removed: The "Clear History" button has been removed because it was not very useful
• Fixed: Sometimes the Colors window would get "lost" between sessions of Paint.NET
• Fixed: Stack-overflow crash when using certain effects, such as Gaussian Blur, on very large images with certain settings (such as a 200 pixel radius)
• Fixed: When cancelling the multi-image Unsaved Changes dialog, the input focus was sometimes confused
• Changed: Renamed PdnLib.dll to PaintDotNet.Core.dll
• Fixed: Very rare race condition in background thumbnail renderer

F-Secure BlackLight 2.2.1061 Beta

F-Secure BlackLight Rootkit Elimination Technology detects objects that are hidden from users and security tools and offers the user an option to remove them. The main purpose is to fight rootkits and all kinds of malware that use rootkits. The F-Secure BlackLight Rootkit Elimination Technology works by examining the system at a deep level. This enables it to detect objects that are hidden from the user and security software.
F-Secure BlackLight is able to correctly ignore non-malicious objects and alerts only on real rootkits, which makes it useful even for users without technical knowledge. It is also able to deal correctly with files that have been modified during the scanning process. This makes it possible to use it in the background without interrupting normal work.
Rootkits for Windows work in a different way and are typically used to hide malicious software from for example an antivirus scanner. Rootkits are typically not malicious by themselves but are used for malicious purposes by viruses, worms, backdoors and spyware. A virus combined with a rootkit produces what was known as full stealth viruses in the MS-DOS environment.
The rootkit itself does typically not cause deliberate damage. Its purpose is to hide software. But rootkits are used to hide malicious code. A virus, worm, backdoor or spyware program could remain active and undetected in a system for a long time if it uses a rootkit.
The malware may remain undetected even if the computer is protected with state-of-the-art antivirus. And the antivirus can't remove something that it can't see. The threat from modern malware combined with rootkits is very similar to full stealth viruses that caused a lot of headache during the MS-DOS era. All this makes rootkits a significant threat.

Auslogics Disk Defrag 1.1.3.212

Disk fragmentation leads to system slowdowns, PC crashes, slow startup and shutdown and sometimes to system failures. Auslogics Disk Defrag® is designed for fast optimization of today's modern hard disks. Get the maximum performance out of your expensive hardware investments. And it's absolutely FREE. It works on Windows XP/2000/2003 and Vista.
- Improve computer performance and stability
- Increase your productivity - no more waiting for files to open
- Defragment disks in only a few minutes
- Useful disk fragmentation map and detailed fragmentation report
- Windows XP Home and Professional, 2000/2003 and Vista supported
Hard disks are by far the slowest component in your computer. CPU and memory work much faster than hard disks because they do not have moving parts. Therefore fragmented disks often become a bottleneck of the system performance.
Besides causing slowdowns, fragmentation makes the hard drive disk heads move frequently when reading files which leads to freeze-ups and system crashes. It is important to keep your disks defragmented and optimized as much as possible.
Changes in version 1.1.3.212:
- improved unicode file support
- fixed an issue causing problems when scanning unicode files
- fixed an issue causing an error when disks were locked
- improves stability, a number of minor fixes
