DeskPins download and reviews from SnapFiles

DeskPins download and reviews from SnapFiles: "DeskPins allows you to keep any window on top of others with a few clicks. While many programs offer this as a feature, others do not, and in such cases DeskPins comes handy. In addition, you can also define rules that use the window title (with wildcard support) and can automatically keep any window on top that matches your rules. The `on top` window is marked with a colored pin that can be quickly removed by simply clicking on it, returning the window to its normal state. (Note: Even though not officially Vista compatible, we tested it and it appeared to work fine on Vista) - I installed on Win 7 machine, and it worked fine.  -tp

Search Engine

DuckDuckGo is a search engine.
Use it for:   • More instant answers     Zero-click info above the links (red box).   • Less spam and clutter     We ban those useless sites with just ads.   • Lots of goodies     Special searches, syntax & settings.   • Real privacy [Thanks, again, Steve.]

I like it because: Another search engine anonymizer is DuckDuckGo, which promotes the fact that it does not track your search history, send browser cookies, or transmit your search terms when you click a link on the search results page. DuckDuckGo relies on its own web crawler as well as results from Bing, Blekko, Yahoo! BOSS, and a number of other specialized sources.  

Startpage at startpage.com is billed as the world's most private search engine.  GOOGLE results in total privacy.

Foolish IT

Foolish IT: "D7 is a tool for PC technicians to aid in many tasks and provide a uniform procedure for technicians to follow. It has many capabilities and many uses including offline and live malware removal assistance, offline registry editing, data backup and restore, CPU/RAM stress testing, information gathering and quality assurance uses, etc. etc. Too much to list here, right now at least. It also combines some other projects of mine such as DataGrab and CheckDisk, among other smaller things.

Note that D7 is not the malware scanner or remover, YOU are. YOU control it's behavior by whitelist/blacklist functionality, and by your own pair of hopefully good eyeballs. D7's MalwareScan functionality is designed to show you what D7 doesn't recognize, by whitelisting known good items, and automatically deleting known bad items. From there, D7's MalwareScan merely shows you what is left after the whitelisting/blacklisting is applied. From there, you have the option to whitelist, blacklist, delete, rename, ignore, google, or whatever you want with the results.

Included with D7 are some sample whitelists/blacklists. It's up to you to decide if you should use them and add to them, or delete them and create your own.

THIS TOOL IS INTENDED FOR EXPERIENCED PC TECHNICIANS ONLY, NOT FOR 'END USERS.' This tool can be very dangerous and destructive in the wrong hands, or even in the right ones. I have personally even hosed my own development machine by accidentally clicking the wrong button. Sometimes I don't fully *test* D7 prior to use. So you are forewarned! If you are concerned about your data or the well being of your computer, then please make a backup of everything important prior to using D7.

Adobe tops Kaspersky Lab's list for top ten PC vulnerabilities | ZDNet

Adobe tops Kaspersky Lab's list for top ten PC vulnerabilities | ZDNet: "Adobe tops Kaspersky Lab's list for top ten PC vulnerabilities.

Adobe nabbed five spots on the list. Vulnerabilities in Adobe Reader/Acrobat and Flash managed to steal all three of the top spots on the podium, along with rounding out the bottom of the list with problems found in Adobe Shockwave and more holes in Adobe Reader/Acrobat.

Sun’s Java found itself on the list twice at fourth and fifth place, followed by Apple QuickTime, Winamp and Microsoft Office. Microsoft can actually be slightly happy (if possible) with these results as it was the source of the majority of the vulnerabilities on the list in 2010.

Drawing on material from Jason Scott's TextFiles.com, the text-only world of the 1980s appears right in your browser. If you want to show somebody what the Arpanet looked like (you didn't call it the "Internet" until the late '80s) this is it. Using the 'finger' command and seeing familiar names from decades ago (some, sadly, ghosts now) sends a chill down your spine." [Thanks to Mr. M. of San Leandro, CA.]

Send big files easily

Send big files easily: "Sharing files with other folks can be as easy as attaching them to an email message or as complicated as setting up an FTP server and dealing with its care and feeding. Somewhere in between is the world of file sharing sites. Many of those require signing up for an account, and then sharing a complicated URL with your recipients.

WeTransfer is a file sharing service that doesn't require any setup. There's no registration to worry about, although they do want your email address to send you a confirmation that your file upload has been successful. They will notify your recipient that there's a file waiting for them, and even give them a nice download button to click, so there is no complicated copying and pasting of addresses. You can upload up to 2 GB of data at a time, and your files are available for two weeks after you upload them, allowing even the slowest friend or co-worker ample time to get it together and grab that file.

A free service, all you need to have to use WeTransfer is a Flash-enabled web browser. Thanks to Roy for giving us a heads-up on this service.

Note taking tool

Note taking tool: "With all the information that comes across our desks over the course of a day or week, it can be a real challenge to keep track of it all. While there's certainly a lot of stuff that isn't that important, there's plenty that we really need to keep an eye on. If Post-Its and odd scraps of paper just don't cut it any more, maybe you should check out Tomboy.

Tomboy is a straightforward note-taking tool. Scribble your notes down to keep track of appointments, contact info, websites you really need to visit, and more. In addition, Tomboy supports wiki-like linking between notes, and those links are updated even if you change the names of your notes. Now rather than having just an electronic stack of individual notes, you can develop a system with built-in cross references, making your notes much more powerful. It's also got built in search functionality, as well as a table of contents that lets you browse your notes in the order they were last modified. In addition it also supports several different plugins to give it greater functionality.

You can download a copy of Tomboy for free. It runs on Linux, Mac, and Windows systems.  GET GTK NET#, here: http://ftp.novell.com/pub/mono/gtk-sharp/

Stop that spam

Stop that spam: "There's a Nigerian prince out there, and he's looking for you. You may have gotten an email or two from him somewhere along the line. You know you can put an end to that, right?

Spamihilator is a spam filtering application that you can stick in there between your email client and the Internet. It acts as a proxy, grabbing your mail from the various POP and IMAP mail servers you connect to, and filters out the crud before passing it along to your regular desktop mail client. It's got a trainable filter, as well as letting you enter your own stop words and regular expressions making it easier for it to detect spam the more you use it. And just in case of a false positive, it keeps track of everything it flags as spam, so you can go in and check things out yourself to make sure that you're not tossing out good email along with the bad.

You can use Spamihilator on your Windows system. It runs under Win2k and later, and supports just about all POP3 and IMAP email clients.
