Top Online Anti-virus Scanner

2009-06-16T15:45:00.001+05:30

F-Secure Online Virus Scanner

No virus will survive against F-Secure. Program perfectly kills viruses, Trojan horses and backdoor programs. Spyware and rootkits has a better chance to hide from F-Secure, that's why I also recommend scanning your PC with an anti-spyware.

You should use Internet Explorer, because other browsers are not supported. If you are using Firefox 2, you can install an extension, which is called “IE tab”. It will make F-Secure think, that you are using IE.

Trend Micro Housecall

If you are being attacked by popular viruses, than you need to scan your PC with Trend Micro Housecall. This scanner easily finds and kills popular viruses. But on the other hand, rare viruses usually aren't found by “Housecall” and Trojan horses escape too. “Rootkits” has even bigger chance to hide from this program.

Windows Live OneCare Safety Scanner

That is the only one scanner, which works with Windows Vista. It perfectly detects popular viruses, but most of the spyware, Trojans, rootkits and other pests were not detected. And we also need Internet Explorer to use Windows Live Scanner.

Softwin Bitdefender Online Scanner

It kills all popular viruses, but most of other pests were not detected. I recommend this scanner only if you don't have many free HDD space, because this scanner needs only 13 MB.

Panda Software Active Scan

“Panda” scanner will save us from popular viruses. Another good thing is that it scans our e-mail too. But on the other hand, this scanner doesn't perfectly detect Trojans and backdoors.

Symantec Security Check

“Symantec Security Check” is the worst online scanner. It perfectly detects viruses, Trojans and spyware, but the problem is that to remove any pests, you need to buy an ordinary anti-virus

Apple Remote Desktop

2009-06-16T14:02:00.002+05:30

Apple Remote Desktop is the best way to manage the Mac computers on your network. Distribute software, provide real-time online help to end users, create detailed software and hardware reports, and automate routine management tasks — all without leaving your desk. Featuring Automator actions, Remote Spotlight search, and a new Dashboard widget, Apple Remote Desktop 3 makes your job easier than ever.

Apple Remote Desktop 3, the award-winning desktop management system for Mac OS X has more than 50 new features that deliver improvements in software distribution, asset management, and remote assistance. Apple Remote Desktop 3 offers a wide range of high performance features, including lightning-fast Spotlight searches across multiple Tiger systems; more than 30 Automator actions for easy automation of repetitive tasks; a Dashboard widget that provides quick and convenient observation of remote systems; and AutoInstall for automatically updating software on mobile systems once they return to the network.
First-class upgrades

Installing software or updates to your network has never been this easy. Take an existing package, either from Apple or a third party, and simply use the Install Package to copy and install on your client computers. And it works with custom install packages as well. Apple Remote Desktop will alert your system’s users to upgrades and even restart machines remotely.

AutoInstall allows you to stage software on a Task Server, which then takes care of distributing the packages for installation on client computers. You can even set a schedule for installation to occur at a time that is most convenient for your organization. And if a computer is not on the network, the Task Server will keep track and automatically install the package once the system is online.
Automation for your Macs

Those time-consuming administrative tasks will become a thing of the past, thanks to the addition of Automator actions in Apple Remote Desktop 3. To use Automator actions, all you need to do is drag and drop the actions to construct a workflow.

More than 30 Automator actions are included with Apple Remote Desktop 3, which you can apply to set desktop pictures, Finder preferences, Energy Saver preferences, default time zones, and more.

Top 10 Web Applications for iPhone

2008-11-28T20:24:00.000+05:30

iPhoneChat
One of the missing features of the iPhone is a chat/IM application. iPhoneChat lets you use AIM as if Steve Jobs owned AOL. Log in and chat with multiple contacts with tabs, just like the SMS function on your iPhone.

Google Reader
No doubt one of the exciting things with phones these days is being able to get information right there and then. And the Google Reader application by David Cann takes your RSS reading to a whole new level.

iPhoneDigg
For the avid digg user with an iPhone, this is a must. It has a really easy to use scrolling interface to maximize the small space available and shows you the current Digg count on the articles you are reading.

OneTrip Shopping List
The iPhone alternative to sticky shopping list notes on the fridge? OneTrip Shopping List. Provides a super-simple interface as well as a categorized system to make your everyday shopping easy.

iPhlickr
Flickr + iPhone = Awesome Photo Browsing, Anytime, Anywhere. No, it really is that cool, you know, for those times you need to look up what a Crotalus Oreganus snake looks like.

Hahlo
If you enjoy Twitter, this is probably the best mobile app for you (arguably even beating Twitter’s own). You can tweet from your iPhone using the well-crafted interface, and have a tap on all your friends. Ironically, this was the way Twitter was first meant to be used.

iZoho
One of the conveniences of the iPhone is being a good device for business use. Zoho, one of the best office suites on the web, is being used by more businesses everyday. Docs/spreadsheets/presentations on iPhone? iZoho.

Gas.app
It’s a good day, you’re a bit low on cash, and your car’s running out of gas. You need gas prices — premium or regular? Enter your zip code into Gas.app, and away you go.

MyMetar
This service is best described as a “weather bookmarking service.” You can bookmark your most frequently accessed METARs, TAFs, and radar images. Never fly into a storm without your iPhone and MyMetar again.

Apple Reader
If you want RSS, Apple’s got it. Just point your browser to any RSS feed (try ours) and you’ll get the whole damn thing — like how it’s supposed to look. Of course, remembering the locations might seem as a problem, but your Favourites list is there to help.

Top 10 Free Windows Applications

2008-10-10T19:56:00.002+05:30

1 Firefox

Mozilla's Firefox is an excellent browser, a good replacement for Internet Explorer with a well thought out user interface and impressive speed. The biggest strength of Firefox though is the support for extensions which add new features to the browser. Amongst the most popular of these is Adblock, which filters out adverts on web pages and FlashGot which manages downloads automatically. Other useful features built into the browser include automatic spell checking on forms, incremental search and live bookmarks. Firefox is being constantly updated, and security fixes are released on a regular basis.

Alternatives are Google's Chrome browser and the eponymous Opera. Whilst Chrome is technically more advanced than the current version of Firefox, it does not support customisation and has a slightly limited (if extremely well designed) user interface. Opera also supports email, irc chat and BitTorrent downloads and is notable for being available for the Nintendo Wii and in a version designed specifically for mobile phones.

2 Thunderbird

Thunderbird is another sophisticated application by Mozilla. It is a fully featured email client, capable of handling multiple email accounts, news groups and news feeds. It includes a junk mail filter and supports both POP and IMAP email accounts. Like Firefox, Thunderbird can also be extended with a variety of add-ons, including the Lightning calendar extension.

Alternatives are the Opera browser, which also provides email access, and the venerable Eudora which is available for free in an ad-sponsored version.

3 AVG Free Edition

It is vital to have good virus protection on your PC, and perhaps the one area where spending a small amount of money is completely justified - consider the inconvenience and cost of your PC being wrecked. However, there are free virus scanners, and perhaps the best of these is AVG, a full and well respected anti-virus suite which is available in a cut down free version as well as a commercial edition. The free version omits some protection - in particular it does not provide download protection nor protection from crackers, keyloggers, spam, phishing attacks and ICQ and MSN protection. It also has a slower update service and more simplistic scheduling options for virus scans. However it does provide award winning protection against viruses, spyware, adware and identity-theft.

Alternatives are Alwil Software's Avast! which has a free home edition and provides much the same protection as AVG, and Avira AntiVir which is reported to provide better standard virus protection than AVG or Avast! - though it omits email scanning and is somewhat more obtrusive and demanding of system resources.

4 Spyware Terminator

If you have decided upon a free anti-virus package, it is likely to omit spyware protection - another vital defense to keep your PC safe. Spyware Terminator can fill that gap with real-time protection, manual and scheduled scan, safe quarantine and automatic update.

Alternatives are A-Squared Free Edition by Esmi Software, a cut down version of theit commercial product which has recieved many awards, and Ad-Aware Free which again is a limited version of Lavasoft's commercial offering. Both of these omit real time protection and other features as an incentive to pay for the full versions.

5 Picasa

Google's Picasa is an outstanding free photo organiser which catalogues and displays photos stored on your PC and integrates with the online PicasaWeb web album. Picasa shows off Google's skills at organising data - in this case your photo albums - and adds facilities to share, blog and print photos. The software includes easy to use editing tools to perform basic fixes and effects on your pictures.

An alternative is Adobe's Photoshop Album Starter Edition, which provides similar fix, search and share facilities but doesn't have integration with an online web album.

6 Open Office

Sun Microsystems develops Open Office and gives it away free as an alternative to Microsoft's Office suite. The Sun product includes a word processor, spreadsheet, presentation editor, diagram editor and database application that offer a robust alternative to Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Visio and Access. The applications are excellent quality and work with the majority of Microsoft documents as well as reading and writing the ISO standard Open Document Format.

One new alternative office suite is KOffice, originally developed for Linux (as part of the K Desktop Environment) but now being extended to run on Windows and OS-X. The Windows version will be released as part of KOffice 2.0 which is expected to be available in late 2008, though alpha test versions are already available for the brave hearted.

7 VLC media player

The VLC media player is a audio and video player which supports a wide range of formats and even supports streaming (playing a file on one computer on a network, and receiving it on one or more clients - handy if you want to set up a central 'jukebox' containing all of your music and video). It can convert formats and can play DVDs and VCDs. The player itself can be customised with a wide variety of skins and includes support for cover art on albums and other media metadata. It is Open Source software with an active development community who always welcome help and support.

An alternative to VLC is Winamp, now in version five, which has a comprehensive feature list to rival any other media player. It is available as a free download, or as a commercial product (for $19.95). The free version has restricted ability to rip music from CDs to your hard disk, but is otherwise intact.

8 Media Monkey

If you've installed VLC media player, and started to build up a collection of music, you're probably going to needMedia Monkey. Media Monkey is a database that helps you set up, organise and synchronise your music collection with an external MP3 player. It's available as a free and commercial version, with the free version ripping music from CDs more slowly, and omitting some advanced features, such as multiple music collections and automatic detection of updated files. The MP3 encoder supplied with the free version (used to copy CDs to your computer) is time limited due to license restrictions, but can be replaced with an unlimited version (available here).

9 Foxit PDF Reader

If you share documents with other people, or browse the web for a while, you're almost certain to come across Adobe's PDF document format. Unfortunately Adobe's own reader, though free, is a cumbersome and rather slow piece of software which can hassle you about updates when you just want to read a single page document. Luckily there is an alternative - Foxit Software's Foxit Reader, which is small, fast and unobtrusive. The free version is supported by adverts, displayed on the main toolbar, which can be removed by paying for the Pro version.

10 Gimpshop

Picasa allows you to make basic fixes to your photographs, but if you want to make more complex changes or create your own images from scratch you need an image editor. Most Open Source advocates will point to GIMP, which was a very early success for Open Source development, providing a sophisticated image editing application for Linux. Whilst GIMP has continued to evolve and provides very professional editing facilities, its user interface has never been particularly welcoming.

GIMPShop begins to address these issues by taking GIMP and adjusting it's menus and terminology to more closely match those of the industry standard Photoshop. There are many tutorials for Photoshop online and GIMPShop allows these to be followed with the free application. There are limits however, as GIMP does not support Photoshop's adjustment layers and some other features used in advanced tutorials

Top Ten Windows Applications

2008-10-10T19:48:00.000+05:30

iTunes: This is one application that I have not even tried to replace on the Linux side. I refuse to do it. I think iTunes is that good. Hands down the number one app for Windows that is hard to walk away from and it’s made by Apple! I have to say Rhythmbox does come close though…
Outlook: I know everyone says Thunderbird or Evolution but it just doesn’t come close. In an exchange environment (like we are) Outlook is king.
GreatNews: Have I mentioned lately how much I love this little RSS reader? I have replaced it with Newsgator Online, but for a client app that can run from my thumb drive, GreatNews takes the cake.
Visual Studio: Being a ex-developer, this application is missed greatly. I haven’t found anything on the Linux side that even comes close. In fact I don’t even know what to use for application development in Linux.
Zoundry and Post2Blog: I’m grouping these together because they are both excellent client blogging tools that I use almost exclusively. The client tools for Linux do not even come close (from what I’ve seen). Where’s the WYSIWYG editor in the Linux choices? Post2Blog even supports installing it to your thumb drive now to create a mobile version.
ePrompter: This little application is a blessing for checking multiple Hotmail or POP3 accounts and takes almost zero system memory. Almost the perfect little email tool for managing multiple accounts.
Dreamweaver: I don’t care which version. Anything after 2004 will work. Hands down the best HTML editor in my opinion. Maybe Scream on the Linux side gets close but I cannot get used to the childish looking interface.
Blackberry Syncing Software: I’m not even sure what the official name for this software is but I do know that it does not work in Linux. Good thing for Over the Air installs. It still leaves me helpless when it comes to having a backup of my contacts and other info on a regular basis…
Flickr Uploadr: There is supposed to be a third party tool that works on Linux, but I can’t get it to run on Ubuntu. If anyone knows how please pass on the knowledge… F-Spot works pretty good to upload to Flickr, but it does not allow me to create new sets on the fly.
QuickBooks: Even though I just started using it this year, I cannot figure out how I ever ran my business without it. I just wish they would offer a Linux version, because even their online version requires Internet Explorer.

Top 10 Screen Sharing Softwares

2008-10-07T20:11:00.000+05:30

1. RealVNC

Freeware
Truly the real VNC! This comes from the original developers of the VNC (Virtual Network Computing) desktop sharing technology. It contains a Java based in-browser viewer and can be used across different platforms.

2. CrossLoop
Freeware
Its forte is the ease of use. Just enter the 12 digit code generated by the software on the host PC and there you are!

3. ShowMyPC
Freeware
This one connects by making shell calls to the open source SSH client plink and VNC Remote access software. It also allows you to use your own SSH server. Required just a password to connect!

4. Hidden Administrator
Freeware
Versatile and rich in features, it can be used for all your desktop sharing needs. The only drawback is that it works only on Windows.

5.WinRemotePC Lite
Freeware
This free software can help you connect to remote PCs through Internet or LAN. Its performance oriented as well as rich in features. The only problem though - once aagain a windows specific tool.

6. Remote-Anything

7. TeamViewer

8. Access Remote PC
Another efficient remote desktop tool which lets you connect to any PC regardless of firewalls, routers, and dynamic IP addresses. However a multi platform support could have made it a much better buy.

9. Im InTouch
All it requires to connect to a remote PC is a Web Browser. And is feature packed. But I think $ 99 is just too high and I think free software can just do the fine job.

10. Spy Agent
Its a Spy indeed, made more for monitoring a remote PC than actually sharing it. A perfect solution for parents who want to keep an eye on their kids!
