Solve : Comodo System-Cleaner - Home?

Answer»

NEW from Comodo. System Cleaner Disk Registry Cleaner Speed Up PCs by Comodo

Comodo System Cleaner is a powerful suite of utilities and tools that allows you to make your Windows XP or Vista computer faster, more efficient and more secure.

All I can say is WOW!!! This is one feature packed FREE tool. Be careful with it and as always if you aren't 100% sure of what you are SEEING then just step away from the mouse before you do something silly.

Quote

CSC allows users of all experience levels to thoroughly clean their SYSTEMS of damaging and/or wasteful files, boost system performance and unlock the full power of any Windows XP or Vista computer.

CSC is a complete registry, disk and privacy cleaner

Comodo System-Cleaner contains a fully featured Registry Cleaner that removes corrupt and obsolete registry entries - often the cause of system instability and slow down. The Disk Clean utility allows you to free up disk space and improve system performance by thoroughly removing temp, archive, duplicate and other useless files. Comodo Privacy Cleaner keeps your personal details safe and sound by comprehensively clearing all traces of private data from Internet browsers, Instant Messenger and Windows software.

CSC is a Windows Tweaker

Through its single interface, you can fine tune and improve virtually every aspect of Windows behavior, functionality and performance. You get fingertip access to important controls and settings that are either not available or are very difficult to find in Windows XP or Vista - WITHOUT the need to manually navigate through multiple Windows menus.
CSC is a Security Toolkit

CSC goes beyond the scope of most tweaking and cleaning software by providing additional security utilities to safeguard your privacy and system security - including permanent file deletion and hash value calculation tools.

Did we mention that it's 100% free?

Download Comodo System-Cleaner - Free license for life

Sounds good.
How does this compare to CCleaner, would you say?I ran it last night, only a few scans and it is a worthy contender. A LOT of stuff to click. Too much to remember

There is a scan for removing EVERYTHING that might be just taking up space. I mean something for everything. You just have to see for yourself.

Even autorun tools...Will make some time soon to check this out, thanks for the heads up EF Had SOMEONE report that the registry cleaner killed the computer so be very careful with that if you so dare to run it so stick with CC for now?Yea unless you are into risk taking.Yeah, I've read about this tool some days ago, but we have to be really careful with promoting it, because we know how some people are. They'll jump on it, and the disaster is in making.Quote from: Broni on March 13, 2009, 05:22:20 PM

Like what happened with Vista? I think, we should keep SAYING to people:
Unless, you're an expert, whatever cleaning program you use, leave the registry aloneDone and done

Solve : Razer Arctosa - Gaming Keyboard?

Answer»

Product: Razer Arctosa Gaming Keyboard
Product: Computer Pheriphals, gaming Keyboard
Price: $ 49.99 USD
Condition bought in: New

My feedback: When i first SAW the keyboard, my first thought was: "Hey, why is it so much cheaper than the other ONES? (Razer Lycosa and Razer Tarantula)" After a moment of investigation, I found that the non-needed functions were taken away, such as the rubber-sprayed KEYS or individually LED lit keys. What's left behind is the Razer slim keycaps with hyper response, selective anti-ghosting capabilities for gaming cluster, easy to access media key and 10 customizable profiles with individually programmable keys. The media key section is not touchscreen but physical buttons, which is a lot better than the standard touchscreen, the media keys are highly responsive and require little force to PRESS. The actual keys of the keyboard require little force to press, and typing quickly make it sound like flowing water. The attached wrist rest feels very good under your wrist and after prolonged typing or gaming. The overall design looks very good, with the glossy finish on the sides and the Razer’s three headed SNAKE sign on the wrist rest. To tell the truth, there is no need for the rubber-sprayed keys or individually LED lit keys unless you are gaming at night or at low light situation.

Pros: - Nice slim, highly responsive key caps.
- On the fly profile change, 10 different profiles
- Very good looking design
- Easy to access, use media keys
- Good wrist rest, good for prolonged gaming or typing.
- Good price

Cons: - The LED above the media keys are too bright
- No individually LED lit keys
- The keyboard can be raised a bit higher.

Rating? 4/5

Recommendation: Yes. If you play games like WOW, the programmable keys will come in very handy.

Been using AM Dead Link for this for years...Yeah, I couldn't RECALL AM Dead, so I found this one. It's still listed as experimental add-on, but it worked fine here.Does it simply dump the duplicates ? ?
Can you use it to sync more than one MACHINE ? ?Just to be safe, you may check all entries, it WANTS to delete, because in my case, it deleted one entry, which I didn't want to delete.
Two entries were like:
something 1
something 2

Solve : Razer - Deathadder gaming mouse?

Answer»

Product name: Razer Deathadder
Product group: computer pheriphals, gaming mice
Price: 59.99
Condition BOUGHT in: New

My feedback: When I first opened the box, I can't help to notice that it was quite well PACKAGED, and it was easy to remove the mouse from the plastic see through holding box. After plugging the mouse in, I was impressed to find that thee rubber-sprayed surface of the mouse very comfy to rest on, and its ergonomic right hand design quite well DONE. With its 1800 dots per inch (DPI) i find that a simple jerk of the hand allows me to skip through the screen, unlike my old mouse, which require a lot more movement. The side buttons were well placed, and easy to reach and press, unlike the other Razer mice, such as the Diamond back or Copperhead.

Pros:
- 1800 DPI 3G infrared sensor allows the mouse to be used over most surfaces
- 7 foot long cable, with gold plated USB.
- Fits right into a large right hand.

Cons:
- 7 foot long cable may be a BIT too long.
- Requires a driver to fully use the features, such as on the fly sensitivity change
-1800 DPI is not the best DPI in the market, but enough for gamers

Rating?
4/5

Solve : Wireless Wizard?

Answer» HERE

Display a great deal of information about your current wireless connection.

This freebie is designed to work with the Azulstar WiFi provider, which runs municipal networks throughout the country, but it's even useful for those who aren't Azulstar customers. It displays information about your current wireless connection, INCLUDING SSID, signal strength, access point channel, gateway, the domain of your Internet provider, and much more. But it goes BEYOND that as well, and offers a set of troubleshooting tools, by checking to SEE if you have any problems with your IP address, signal strength, and so on.

It's generally a useful tool, particularly because it's free. But it also occasionally makes mistakes, for example, reporting that you have poor wireless LINK quality, when in fact it's good. Still, you can't argue with free.

I manage to get zero done thanx to you and this Topic section.... That's the whole point
My motto: disturb, disturb, disturb................................ ...................patio Very cool. I just happened to create a post earlier in the SBCC section for users to post their benchmarking scores using PassMark. I'm liking this one a lot BETTER since it seems to be 100% free. I created another post for users to post their scores when using CrystalMark.

Solve : Q-Dir?

Answer» HERE

MANAGE files and directories using multiple panes.

Anyone frustrated with the single-pane interface of Windows Explorer will welcome Q-Dir with open arms. This fantastic and free file MANAGEMENT program uses four panes to make it easy to copy and move files AMONG directories and folders, and even across your network. Run the program, then use each individual pane for navigation, including navigating your networks. You can copy and move files and directories among them. No more opening multiple instances of Windows Explorer.

You can drag and drop files to move them, not only among the panes, but also to or from another program such as Windows Explorer. You can customize the views in each pane, such as by changing the size of the icons. There are also a lot of extras, such as file filters, and the use of color to highlight different kinds of files. In short, if you want a file management program, this is a great one--and it's free as well.



I've been playing with it, and I like it a lot...It's like a Super-Mega enhanced File Manager!LINK?It manages Files?

Explorer only has one pane, this program has four- Windows 3.1 File manager could open as many panes as you wanted. Well, they were actually MDI child windows, but that isn't the point- except Q-Dir actually shows shell namespaces.

Solve : Senior Looking for New Laptop?

Answer»

Okay, after my 5 year old laptop is now broken, I'm a high school senior looking for a new laptop. I would LOVE to get a MacBook Pro, but I think within my family's budget, I want to look for something under a $1,000. I don't know if any of these details matter, but here they go:

I just want something with wireless capabilities, DVD, good for moviemaking and making DVD's and burning CD's, I download a lot of music and I'm a writer, so a good amount of storage would be good. A quality laptop under a thousand would be nice.

Does anyone have any suggestions. Any other specifications I should look at? Is there a certain store or website I should look at?

PS If there's a CHEAPER way to get a MacBook Pro, let me know please Lenovo's are pretty good for the price..

Here are a lot of Laptops at good prices:
http://www.newegg.com/Store/SubCategory.aspx?SubCategory=32&name=Laptops-NotebooksFrom what you've told us you wanted to do, any modern laptop will do the trick.
Some things you would want:
- ~+100GB HD SPACE
- 1-2GB RAM
- Dual Core

In my experience, it's better to try the laptop before you buy it, to see if you want it.
I'm sure if you go to a computer store, you can try the laptops on display and get an idea of what you want.

Solve : Win7codecs 1.0.1 Final?

Answer» http://majorgeeks.com/Win7codecs_d6103.html

Codecs have been a problem for most users at one time or another. This is because there has never been an 'out of the BOX' working solution that the average computer user could install and just have everything work properly from the beginning. There are several decent codec package solutions out there, but none of them did everything I wanted. I was always in need of a tweak, adjustment, or even a re-installation just to get the codecs I needed/wanted and most of the time, the file still didn't play properly. I've never CLAIMED to be a media guru. My media experience prior to creating these packages was to doubleclick a file I downloaded and hope that it played. So with the help of the MSFN community, I decided to package up the bare minimum of codecs required by most computer users and share them with the rest of the world.

The installer will automatically remove most other popular codec releases from your computer before installing this concise yet comprehensive package. You won't need to make any adjustments or tweaks to enjoy your media content immediately. Windows Media Player and Windows 7 Media Center will instantly recognize all your files as playable.

It does not contain a media player and it does not associate filetypes. With this package installed you will be able to use any media player, limited only by the players' capabilities, to play all movies and video clips. Streaming video is SUPPORTED in several formats in all popular web browsers. Users of Win7 codecs have the ability to choose what is installed and where to install it using the public redistributable.

Solve : Sandboxie 3.34 released?

Answer» Sandboxie - Download Sandboxie

Sandboxie - Version Changesuh, what is Sandboxie exactly?Sort of a VM. A way to run PROGRAMS without installing them. Good for testing and such. You can also run your BROWSER sandboxed for visiting a known infected web SITE, IE Defender Pro and the like. The browser is "Sandboxed" so whatever is happening can be easily terminated and no changes made to your PC.

Quote
http://www.sandboxie.com

When you run a program on your computer, data flows from the hard disk to the program via read operations. The data is then processed and displayed, and finally flows back from the progam to the hard disk via write operations.

Sandboxie changes the rules such that write operations do not make it back to your hard disk.

* Intercept changes to both your files and registry settings, making it virtually impossible for any software to reach outside the sandbox.
* Traps cached browser items into the sandbox as a by-product of normal operation, so when you THROW away the sandbox, all the history records and other side-effects of your browsing disappear as well.
Oh, sweet, I'll have to set that up on a bench test system I'm setting up soon, should save me some hassle if I have to intentionally tamper with viruses. I think we all know how annoying it is to install windows XP on a 667MHz socket 370 coppermine w/ a 66MHz FSB, 128KB of cache, 256MB of SDRAM, and a 10GB ATA66 hard drive, using some 32X ATA33 CD-ROM.I HEAVILY use this software for experimenting with different software. Very nice piece of software.

Answer» http://www.lunascape.tv/

I've been playing with this BROWSER since last night, and I really like it, so far.
Just my first impression, since I have to go through plenty of its features.
This is pretty interesting idea...
It's ENGINE can be set to Internet Explorer’s Trident, or Firefox’s Gecko, or Safari’s and Chrome’s WebKit.
It can be also set to semi-automatic change.
For now, I did set it up to Gecko, and it has most of useful Firefox features. Even free SnagIt screencapture feature is included.
Too much to say.
Give it a shot.

Oh, RAM usage, so far, steady, under 10k.downloading and installing right now!Hi I also downloaded this and cannot for the life of me figure out how to set a homepage any Ideas got to have my homepage lol thanks^^^^^^Same here............Expand SIDEBAR. Click on "Settings" tab. Right click on "Startup" folder, click "Add New Startup URL"


Many Thanks...... Sure thing can you install Firefox addons on it?Lunascape is only in alpha stage, and as of now, you can't install Firefox add-ons, but it takes IE add-ons.

Solve : Increase Download Speed by Disable Vista Auto Tuning on TCP/IP?

Answer» http://www.mydigitallife.info/2007/05/24/increase-multithread-download-speed-by-disable-vista-auto-tuning-on-tcpip/I remember how I got owned bad by one of those "increase your Internet speed!" applications about 10 years ago. I paid $30 for an APP called "Internet Boost" because I was only connecting at 24k when I had a 56k modem. Of course, the Boost app only tweaked a few TCP parameters to MAKE webpages display a little more QUICKLY; I was still only connecting at 24K but I was so happy at the time because there was an APPARENT increase in the speed of webpage downloads.

Later on I found the problem was that my dialup modem was connecting to a phone line splitter, hence I had half the 56K speed I was expecting. An upgrade to a cable modem fixed this problem.

Here's an article that explains what Auto Tuning is designed to do, and offers some suggestions for troubleshooting your Internet connection before resorting to turning AT off:

I'm LOOKING for another program to do this, ConvertXtoDVD is a giant flop, and refuses to create ISOs half the time.

I'll also try QMV and foobar. I ALREADY converted most of the videos to DVD, but if these make the TASK less annoyingly messy I'm all for it.QMV is very simple. Foobar is a bit confusing. I had to follow a few different tutorials to get it figured out...

-FIX: Top PROGRAM title incorrectly changes text color based on custom windows themes
-FIX: Occasional crashes with additional right-click options in My Saved EULAs
-FIX: It was possible to select multiple EULAs in the My Saved EULAs list

MOZILLA Firefox Multiple Vulnerabilities

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA33799

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/33799/

CRITICAL:
Highly critical

IMPACT:
Security Bypass, Cross Site Scripting, EXPOSURE of system
information, Exposure of sensitive information, System access

WHERE:
>From remote

SOFTWARE:
Mozilla Firefox 3.x
http://secunia.com/advisories/product/19089/

DESCRIPTION:
Some vulnerabilities have been reported in Mozilla Firefox, which can
be exploited by malicious, local USERS to potentially disclose
sensitive information, and by malicious people to conduct cross-site
scripting attacks, bypass certain security restrictions, disclose
sensitive information, or potentially to compromise a user's system.

1) Multiple errors in the layout engine can be exploited to cause
memory corruptions and potentially execute arbitrary code.

2) Multiple errors in the Javascript engine can be exploited to cause
memory corruptions and potentially execute arbitrary code.

3) A chrome XBL method can be used in combination with "window.eval"
to execute arbitrary Javascript code in the CONTEXT of another web
site

4) An error when restoring a closed tab can be exploited to modify an
input control's text value, which allows e.g. to disclose the content
of a local file when a user re-opens a tab.

5) An error in the processing of shortcut files can be exploited to
execute arbitrary script code with chrome privileges e.g. via an HTML
file that loads a privileged chrome document via a .desktop shortcut
file.

This is related to:
SA32192

6) A security issue is caused due to cookies marked "HTTPOnly" being
readable by Javascript via the "XMLHttpRequest.getResponseHeader" and
"XMLHttpRequest.getAllResponseHeaders" APIs.

7) A security issue is caused due to Firefox ignoring certain HTTP
directives to not cache web pages ("Cache-Control: no-store" and
"Cache-Control: no-cache" for HTTPS pages), which can be exploited to
disclose potentially sensitive information via cached pages.

SOLUTION:
Update to version 3.0.6.

Solve : Roboform VS. LastPass?

Answer» This is a Beta, RC 2, and seems very stable.

I may have converted myself to a new tool. https://lastpass.com/

It has all of the feature as Roboform but the way LastPass works is much better.

  • Easily transferred all of my RoboForm passwords over. (I did have to do some work in re-sorting them into folders)
  • FF & IE. Windows & Mac. Supports Mobile devices.
  • Online style management so you can sync multiple PC's.
  • It sets in the Menu bar instead of being an entire toolbar.
  • Doesn't run as a Task!
  • Portable "Pocket" version https://lastpass.com/download.php#pocket
.
Secure technology so your passwords aren't out in Cyber Space.

Quote
https://lastpass.com/technology.php

LastPass is an evolved 'Host Proof hosted' solution, which avoids the stated weakness of vulnerability to XSS as long as you're using the plugin. LastPass strongly believes in using local encryption, and locally created one way salted hashes to provide you with the best of both worlds for your sensitive information: Complete security, while STILL providing online accessibility and syncing capabilities. We've accomplished this by using 256-bit AES implemented in C++ and JavaScript (for the website) and exclusively encrypting and decrypting on your local PC. No one at LastPass can ever ACCESS your sensitive data. We've taken every step we can think of to ensure your security and privacy.

Solve : AM-DeadLink?

Answer»

If you’re like me, you accumulate many bookmarks/favorites over time. I recently had over 2500 bookmarks in Firefox. Often, OLDER ones are no longer valid, or have redirected to another URL. Reviewing them by simply working down through them from within the browser tends to be a very slow process. This process becomes much more efficient by using AM-Deadlink. From the developer’s WEBSITE:

Quote

AM-DeadLink detects dead links and duplicates in browser bookmarks and text files. If a bookmark has become unavailable you can verify and delete it permanently. Additionally you can download FavIcons for all your Favorites and Bookmarks.

AM-DeadLink is Freeware!

AM-DeadLink can check the following resources:
•Internet Explorer Favorites
•Firefox bookmarks
•Opera bookmarks
•URLs from tab delimited text files
•URLs from comma SEPARATED text files
AM-DeadLink can download FavIcons for:
•Internet Explorer Favorites
•Firefox bookmarks
•Opera bookmarks
AM-Deadlink generates a separate list of bookmarks to work from, separate from your browser. Changes you make within this list can then be permanently saved to your browser's bookmarks.

A side benefit of cleaning up dead links, if you have many and your total number of bookmarks is high, may be a little faster responsiveness from your browser. I've noticed Firefox now launches faster after I first start my computer and first start Firefox. Good app...been using it for a few years.
Warning to first time users: When you run it plan on enjoying the Adult beverage of your choice and getting some laundry DONE...it will TAKE awhile.
Obviously each scan gets quicker as time goes on.Very nice. Thanks!

So many errors and 404s.....it pains me to see them....whoever thought of the HTTP error codes wasn't very adventurous.

I would have called it the 007 error. Much funner to say.
