I particularly love this program. I can get rid of many unwanted temporary files from different sources all in one program. Back when I was not using this program, I had to browse through several folders just to clean out Windows temporary files. As a hard-core internet user which I think you are too, I sometimes switch from using Firefox to Internet Explorer and sometimes Opera therefore, this program comes in very handy as I don’t have to execute each program to perform some spring cleaning.
Some of CCleaner features:
- Clears Internet Explorer,Firefox, Opera, Safari temporary files
- Clears Windows Explorer history
- Clears Windows Temporary Files, Clipboard, Memory dumps
- Clears Windows Prefetch data
- Clears Application history
- Registry cleaner
How does this also help combating viruses? Virus hides in temporary folders!
Download CCleaner by Piriform. It’s totally free.
Autorun trojans/viruses from the thumb drive can easily be transfered from PC-to-PC. The outcome? Users found that their drives had been inaccessible through double-clicking the drive icon. But was accessible through the right-click explore menu. Should you encounter this situation again, here’s the solution:
1. Download flash_disinfector.exe by sUBs.
2. Run the program and follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Done ! Thanks to sUBs.

Just what is SysInspector? ESET not too long ago released a public beta of its free diagnostic tool for Windows OS users. It is said on their website that the program collects useful information about the computer’s operating environment and later assessed the risk of each item. The risk level ranges from 1 to 9, the 9th level being the most dangerous level.

You may over the years have only been using Norton, McAfee, or PC-cilin but trust me they are the ones who are under-performing in terms of pro-active detection capability compared to the likes of Kaspersky from Russia and NOD32 from Slovak Rep.
Based on test done by AV-comparatives.org, Kaspersky and NOD32 often perform better compared to their rivals. You can visit here to view the test results.
I certainly recommend switching to Kaspersky which is already out with its version 7 but if have a low memory computer or prefer the fastest scanning time then choose ESET NOD32 instead. Both offers very satisfying results. No complain here.
Happy New Year 2008! With the ever increasing computer security threat, we would like to dedicate this blog specially to educate the online community about the dangers of not having proper security measures.
You may not be a victim to cyber crime as of today, but it is always good to update yourself with vital security information from now onwards which in this case this blog will hopefully provide some very helpful safety tips. Thanks, hope you stay with us for months to come.
