ThreatFire

Hey my loyal readers....sorry I was not able to post yesterday. Anyways today I will be telling you about a virus scanner. See if you are like most people and you have cable Internet then you should realize that means if you had a Trojan on your computer then while you are sleeping someone could be doing illegal things on your computer. So i suggest that you get some sort of virus scanner. I just recently came across this one called Threat Fire. It got one of the Softy Awards from Maximum PC, so it must be fairly good. If you want to download it you can get it from http://www.threatfire.com/ . As with anything i tell you about once again this program is free. Here is what Threat fires website says about the program.

PCs are under constant attack from viruses, spy ware and identity theft. Every day you hear about a new threat to your PC. They're coming faster than ever before, they're getting harder to stop and traditional antivirus products are not able to keep up.

Will your antivirus software catch the latest malware that just came out today? In most cases, no, because it simply does not know how to detect it yet. But ThreatFire's ActiveDefense technology does, and has proven to provide up to 243% more protection when combined with traditional AntiVirus products.

If I already have antivirus software why do I need ThreatFire?
ThreatFire is dramatically different to traditional antivirus software. Normal antivirus products usually need to have first identified and seen a threat before they can provide adequate protection against it. The protection is then provided via a signature or fingerprint update, which must first be written by an antivirus researcher. This creates a large window of time where threats are undetected and can therefore infect your PC even when you have antivirus software installed.

How can ThreatFire protect me when traditional antivirus can't?
ThreatFire continually protects your PC against attacks by detecting malicious behavior, such as capturing your keystrokes or stealing your data, instead of only looking for known threats like normal antivirus software. By implementing sophisticated real-time behavioral analysis ThreatFire is able to stop never- before-seen "zero-day" threats solely by detecting their malicious activity.
Zero-day threats are usually designed to take advantage of new vulnerabilities or exploits that are currently unprotected by traditional security products. They are usually distributed in huge quantities very quickly by mass email (SPAM), website hijacks, instant messaging or over peer-to-peer networks. Because they are undetectable they are able to wreak havoc and compromise your PC even when you have up-to-date antivirus software installed.
ThreatFire's patent-pending ActiveDefense technology offers protection against all types of internet threats - both known and unknown - spyware, adware, keyloggers, viruses, worms, Trojans, rootkits, buffer overflows, and other malware. ThreatFire uses its unparalleled protection to hunt down and paralyze those threats that are either too new or too clever to be recognized by traditional "signature-based" antivirus software.

Do I need to be an expert to use ThreatFire?
ThreatFire is advanced technology designed especially for people, not just experts.
We believe security software should be "set and forget" so once you install ThreatFire you won't need to answer lots of technical questions, in fact the only time you should even notice ThreatFire is protecting your PC is when we detect something malicious that requires your attention.

Dreamweaver? I THINK NOT

So I'm sure many if not all you out there knows what dream weaver is. If you don't i will tell you. Dream weaver is like Microsoft front page what those are is a program that makes it so you can make a completely customized website on your computer and then upload it to a domain name that you had made. But, the site must allow front page extensions. Most paying domain and hosting setups do and will allow it. So you can make a whole site on you desktop, put in custom images, buttons, counters, forms, albums, and even a scroll text thing. The things you can do with them is virtually limitless. Now comes in our new player called KompoZer. This is almost exactly the same as the high rolling Dream weaver and Microsoft Front page. The big difference is the price, from most expensive to least, Dream weaver then front page and finally KompoZer for $0.

Here is what they say about their product that can be downloaded from http://kompozer.net/download.php

It is also possible to filter files and show all files, or only HTML documents or image files. The browsing area also allows to show for each file its size and the date of last modification.
A new color picker
KompoZer has a new extended color picker, more conformant to what most users are used to. Set a color from its red blue and green components, or its hue saturation and brightness. Or just use your mouse to pick up the color you want.

A dash of style(s)

Customizable toolbars
Just customize your toolbar and show only the buttons you want/need.

Forms
Take advantage from a XUL-based UI to edit all your forms, and edit all your form elements.

Cleaner markup
KompoZer contains some machinery to get rid of most of those annoying
. Combined with the ability to call W3C's HTML validator from within KompoZer you'll make valid, clean documents.

XFN
When you create a new link to an external resource, or when you edit an existing link, you can now add XHTML Friends Network information to say that the owner of that resource is someone you know and trust.

Visible marks
In a complex page layout, you often need to see visible carriage returns and block borders. KompoZer can now do that for you. And of course, everything is controlled by a CSS style sheet so you can customize those marks and replace them by your own.

Table/Cell resizing rulers
On the left and top side of the opened tab you will find the convenient table resizing rulers which will help you easily adjust the size of rows and columns in any table in the web page you design.

Automated Spellchecker
The integrated in-line spellchecker will underline all misspelled words as you type to ensure correct spelling throughout the entire web page.

MORE TO COME SOON CHECK BACK TOMORROW FOR WAYS TO MAKE MONEY FRIDAYS

Deleted file

I know we have all been in this boat before. We are cleaning up our computer to make it run a little bit better. You keep deleting files. Few days or hours later you go looking for the file that was the book report that you had just wrote for school. Now you are practically crying because you just deleted a file that you really needed. Now you will have to write the whole thing over again. Sounds familiar to me, this I am sure is familiar to you too. Well like many of you i was like oh i will just download one of those programs that lets you find deleted files. So, i do but i then realize that it costs money if i even want the files that it is showing me. So then you write the whole entire thing again because $50 isn't worth it to you. Well i think i just might have a solution for you. This program is free and does the same things that a paid program would do, but as i said this one is free. It is called Recuva as in recover. I strongly think that you will get great results with this program. If you would like to get yourself a copy then just drop on by at http://www.recuva.com that is where you can download the file for free if you want it. So wait not longer, stop rewriting that 10 page report and just RECUVA it.

Photoshop or Gimp

Well almost every single person out there has used photo shop. It even comes on new computers if you don't mind just using a trial version. As most of you already know Photo shop is a very nice program for anyone who takes pictures, has website, sends pics, makes icons, and the list just seems to go on. It can do virtually any thing all the way from changing the background to even putting someone elses head on someone elses body. One of the major downfalls of photo shop is the price. Take a look at http://www.adobe.com/products/photoshop/index.html $649 is a big chunk of change if you ask me, even the lower down versions still cost like above $50. Needless to say no matter what you do if you want photo shop it will cost you a pretty penny or two. Now that we have discussed that lets move onto the alternative to Photo shop, it is called GIMP. To put it the most simple way that i can GIMP is like photo shop. It does almost every thing that photo shop at a fraction of the cost. It is very easy to use and one of the major things that i like the most about gimp is how easy it is to decrease the file size of a picture. See if you are like most people who have digital cameras and take lots of photos then the chances are you will also be putting them on your computer and be sending them off to friends and family. Well gimp can help you there. If you would like to go ahead and give gimp a try then i have more good news for you. The good news is that it only costs $0 yes that is right gimp is 100% free. So if i was you id stop waiting and rush on over to http://www.gimp.org/downloads/ and get yourself a free copy.
