Final Uninstaller : Product Worth of Try ...

Many of us may/may not be aware of the fact that when we install any software apps,after usage for some months if we try to uninstall it,there are left traces of registry or any junk files which keeps on pilling (more uninstalls)if they are not cleaned.



Similarly the case of cookies,more the internet sites visited,cookies keeps pilling,which ideally needs a cleanup.

Final Uninstaller offers a new and better way to make your PC run more efficiently by cleaning up files and registry entries that were left after unsuccessful uninstallation. Term uninstallation doesn't mean abrupt stop in process of uninstall but it means some uninstallers don't cleanup traces clearly.



This program is based on a powerful leftovers database to support many functions of thoroughly scanning your computer, intelligently detecting leftover files of various programs, clearly listing applications that can be removed and completely uninstalling with only one click.

This easy-to-use Final Uninstaller allows you to say goodbye to nerve-wracking leftovers and to speed up you PC performance.

# Program Remnants detection & Removal
# Complete Removal of Currently Installed Programs
# Complete Removal of Anti-virus Software
# Cleaning Junk Files & Invalid Registry Entries
# Real-time Scan
# Emergency Restore


Final Uninstaller can completely clean up junk files including *.dir;*.old;*.chk;*.log; and *.tmp. The fully featured registry cleaner can check registry integrity including missing shared dlls, overdue menu items, start run items, software scrap, class issues, invalid install programs, invalid file extension, and missing MUI cache reference.

Final Uninstaller has collected massive information of features that various left files have as its background database which supports real-time updating.

The only bad part about this tool is the priority handling feature.Actually, there is little anti-virus software Final Uninstaller can uninstall, which is really a pity while there is a heavy demand on uninstalling them.

Google Wave : worth of try

Google Wave is a new communication service introduced by Google INC.. "A wave is equal parts conversation and document, where people can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more."



The service seems to combine Gmail and Google Docs into an interesting free-form workspace that could be used to write documents collaboratively, plan events, play games or discuss a recent news and many more.

Google defines the WAVE in simple two terms :

1.A wave is shared. Any participant can reply anywhere in the message, edit the content and add participants at any point in the process. Then playback lets anyone rewind the wave to see who said what and when.

2.A wave is live. With live transmission as you type, participants on a wave can have faster conversations, see edits and interact with extensions in real-time.

Google gave away nearly 100,000 user invitations and finally after a wait of nearly 2weeks,i finally found myself lucky.


Google Wave has a lot many innovative features, but here are some few that i jotted down

- Real-time: In most instances, you can see what someone else is typing, character-by-character.

- Widget on web portals and blog : Waves can be embedded on any blog or website by meer as a plugin.

- Applications and Extensions: developers can build their own apps within waves.Rigt from Bots to Games.

- Open source: The Google Wave code will be open source, to foster innovation and adoption amongst developers.People can also join the developers forum by google. Try it guys,its real fun.

- Convinient Playback: You can playback any part of the wave to see what was said.Videos support also included.

- Drag-and-drop file sharing: No attachments; just drag your file and drop it inside Google Wave and everyone will have access to it. I initially used Sky drive for file sharing,i guess now i have an alternative.

- Easy Ping : It allows easy ping to any of the contacts within no time.

Spam Junk : well this is wat most of us must be aware of..lol
in my next post,i will go more deeper in google's Wave concepts. So do visit again.




For those who wish to have invitation from me : kindly post in the comment box and i will send them the invitations( Only first 5. Then others can call out for others.)


HAPPY WAVING..!!!

Hunter Soft Web Translator - Easy Way Switch to Multi- Language Reading

Sometimes i feel google translator consumes lot of time in UI. I jsut found a tool that does translation in very UI friendly fashion.

The name of the tool is Hunter soft Web Translator and its just 1.28 M.B for download.

You can translate whatever you can imagine, document, web contents, letters, chats, and emails and more.So far, Hunter soft web translator supports English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Portuguese, Dutch, Russian, Chinese, Korean and Japanese.



It Support Microsoft Word, Notepad, Word Pad, Adobe Acrobat, Outlook Express, Outlook, Internet Explorer and more.

A feature "Unicode Viewer" enables users to automatically download Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian fonts from Microsoft website, when necessary.

It also has a easy swap option for quick swap of languages to - from to from -to easiness. unlike in google translator,it involve time in selection of from -to and replacing it with to- from.



This web translator provides no easy means less than a browser. Just what it misses is the bookmark facility(And many more).but i thought bookmark facility would have been an important facility for daily readers.

This tool has a Save or print option for the translated text.

Multilingual user interface: English, French, Spanish, German, Portuguese, Italian, Japanese.

It has native support for Windows 95/98SE/ME/NT4/2000/XP/2003 and now also for windows 7.

NetQuin Security---> Wanna Secure Mobile ?

Mobile virus attacks have become too vibrant and until we are sure of its security,this attack would prevail.



The NetQin Mobile Antivirus uses leading technology to provide your mobile phone with complete protection against all the latest mobile threats. From virus scans and updates to safe and reliable firewall protection, NetQin gives you dependable mobile security services from a name the industry knows and trusts.

Functions

1.FAST FULL SCAN
2.TIMELY AND ACCURATE REAL-TIME MONITORING
3.SAFE AND RELIABLE NETWORK FIREWALL PROTECTION
4.FLEXIBLE SYSTEM MANAGEMENT



Net-Quin also updates users about the latest trends of mobile viruses.NetQin Mobile Antivirus carefully monitors all mobile files to detect and remove any malicious activity in a time-effective manner.NetQin has developed and launched the world's first phone edition firewall that can recognize and stop any malware from operating internally and thus i would recommend it for worth buying.

Block Attacks By Blocking Autorun File

If you recollect,some months back i had posted on Panda USB vaccine. Similarly i have come across another tool which i feel is better than Panda USA Vaccine.

Autorun.inf is the primary instruction file associated with the Autorun function. Autorun.inf is a simple text-based configuration file that tells the operating system which executable to start, which icon to use, and which additional menu commands to make available.

1. How does this File Look ?

Line 1: [autorun]
Line 2: open=autorun.exe
Line 3: icon=autorun.ico

Kindly Note that Line N ( N=1,2,3) is used just for simplification.

Line 2 Means that when started,autorun.exe file will get executed and Line 3 means the autorun file will have autorun.ico as its File Icon.

In reality autorun.inf files are more complex than this but for now,i am limiting myself to simple examples only.

2.What is Autorun Protector

Autorun Protector is a two way protection .Net application which was released in April this year,prevents PC from infecting with autorun worms and also protecting your removable device from being infected from other sources.



Since I said it is developed in .Net,it requires 2.0 Framework pre installed.Kindly note that it doesn't clean all the worms so i would suggest to use good antivirus to scan the PC to ensure maximum protection.

Autorun worm infects your PC through removable device such as USB Drive. It has a file called autorun.inf which contains code to run malicious program. If PC failed to block this autorun file,it can cause serious damage to the PC.




As mentioned earlier,it has 2 way protection i.e PC Protection & Device Protection. But there is also another feature "The MountPoints2" which is a registry key that contains cached information about every removable device. Clearing this key might solve the problem on opening drive problem issue.



One feature that i really appreciated in the new release was the mean to create own autorun.inf files. It can also fix the drive opening issues.

How to track BLUE SCREEN error on Windows

I have been victim of this problem number of times.Doing some important work and suddenly experiences following SURPRISE



A lot of times a blue screen happens very quickly which you can’t even see what are the error messages and your computer got restarted.The memory crash dump are usually saved in C:\WINDOWS\Minidump and C:\WINDOWS\MEMORY.DMP

So I came across a tool,BlueScreenView which scans all your mini dump files created during 'blue screen of death' crashes, and displays the information about all crashes in one table.

For each crash, BlueScreenView displays the mini dump filename, the date/time of the crash, the basic crash information displayed in the blue screen (Bug Check Code and 4 parameters), and the details of the driver or module that possibly caused the crash (filename, product name, file description, and file version).

# BlueScreenView Features

1. Automatically scans your current minidump folder and displays the list of all crash dumps, including crash dump date/time and crash details.

2.Allows you to view a blue screen which is very similar to the one that Windows displayed during the crash.

3.BlueScreenView enumerates the memory addresses inside the stack of the crash, and find all drivers/modules that might be involved in the crash.


BlueScreenView also provides options for command line so that this program can be triggered easily.

Art Of Security-Securing Your Wifi - Part 1

Many People get very excited about WiFi and after purchasing leave many patches in the security measures of the WiFi. Many folks leave the password and username as the same default.(I wont mention the default username and password..lol)



I note down some important steps to be taken care while setting up the security measures for your WiFi.

1. Change the Default Settings of WiFi :

Mostly Wi-Fi home networks is an access point or router. To setup the configuration a web page url is provided and to login the password.This is the right only for the admin.But for the default equipment the password provided is pretty simple and i am sure by now you people must have even guessed it.Lol..!!

Change the password immediately as soon as possible.



2. Ensure that WEP/WPA is enabled

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a deprecated algorithm to secure IEEE 802.11 wireless networks. It uses Shared key technique for authentication.
The 802.11i standard addresses many of the security issues of the original 802.11 standard. While the new IEEE 802.11i standard is being ratified, wireless vendors have agreed on an interoperable interim standard known as Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA).

3. Enable MAC Address Filtering

MAC addresses are uniquely assigned to each card, so using MAC filtering on a network permits and denies network access to specific devices through the use of blacklists and whitelists.



While the restriction of network access through the use of lists is straightforward, an individual person is not identified by a MAC address, rather a device only, so an authorized person will need to have a whitelist entry for each device that he or she would use to access the network.
While giving a wireless network some additional protection, MAC Filtering can be circumvented by scanning a valid MAC and then changing the own MAC into a validated one. This can be done in the Windows Registry or by using commandline tools on a Linux platform.


There are some other methods to secure Wifi.Which i would be discussing in my next post.

No Webcam ? I have a Solution

Webcame has really made the communicaion easier. For the people in india to the world and for the world to india..!! well..its really fun to have a webcam besides your PC/Laptop.

But hardly people use webcam or own webcam.Chill now..i have a solution for all the people who don't own a webcam.




1. How to Use it ?

Download the .sis file and use this application after setup installation.
As soon as you start the MobCam application on your mobile, you’ll be able to begin on-line watching of the mobile camera shots on this web site. All you have to do is enter the number you see on the mobile display into the CODE field.

2.Installation and Setup

After automatic installation, you have to perform a very simple application setup. MobCam can operate in three various modes:

# Periodical sending: The mobile phone takes pictures periodically (e.g. every minute), sending them immediately to www.mobcam.cz where you can look at them.

# Motion detection: At the moment of any motion being detected in front of the mobile camera lens, results in the MobCam application taking a picture and sending it immediately to the server at www.mobcam.cz.

Select from the application menu to choose one of the modes. The “SMS” mode can operate even when the other two modes have been activated. MobCam is started at the moment you select “Start” from the menu. After that, the display will show a number (CODE); enter this number on the web site at www.mobcam.cz and then you can start watching the images from your mobile camera.

Samsung P2250- Is this Better Than Samsung 933 ?

Folks,I recently purchased 933 Samsung Widescreen monitors for my personal use.Well soon after it was purchased, Samsung launched another LCD monitor range of Samsung P2250.i was like " now what? is my one better than this new one ??

1.Design :

This model had a glossy black layer with a smooth transparent hard plastic layer. This layer sticks out a bit from the sides, thus giving the front view transparent borders, which look pretty cool. Unlike 933,The bottom panel has touch sensitive controls on its right half, while the Samsung Logo is printed at the center(Same as 933) - overall it looks very neat and sober.



2.Technical Monitor Specification :

# Panel contrast is 1000:1 (native)
# Brightness is rated at 300 cd/m2.
# Screen resolution is 1920 x 1080, a pure 16:9 aspect ratio.
# The exact size is 21.5 inches diagonal.
# Response time is rated at 2 ms.



3.Performance Grading :

well..i liked the UI especially the design and the navigable schemes.Touch sensitivity it self is rocking and smooth and buttons too are designed nicely.. There are presets like Text, Movie, Game, Dynamic Contrast, game etc.Sharpness and clarify is awesome.I would support this monitor for this reason.


4.Verdict :

Cost is too high for a common man its nearly Rs.12,000/-
But worth buying if you wish to enjoy the superb clarity and sharpness and Offcource if you are a game freak..!!

Micro(soft)Shock...!!!

Hotmail ones upon a time was a main loophole for hackers.And nope surprise even after Windows Live,the trend continues.Yahoo has already been the victim and now its time for Hotmail.

Microsoft Corp said on Monday 4th October that passwords belonging to some users of its Hotmail email service were exposed on an Internet site, but had since been taken down.



The company did not say how many users were affected, but some reports suggested that passwords to more than 10,000 accounts were exposed.

Strange is that Microsoft dint reveal the names of customers and said they are on the path to search the same.


I request all the readers to reach my 15th august post for secure your PC locally and on network ( Internet /Intranet)

BOSE..!! Sound ALoud

Strange but this is my first post on BOSE. Until by Higher secondary i was not very aware of this company and during my engineering life,when heard people speaking about it;It was so exciting.From that day onwards,i had a dream to see bose systems(but till date have just got satisfied with pics/videos) Lol..!!

DO LET ME KNOW IF ANY OF MY BLOG FRIENDS HAVE ONE..!! HE HE



The SoundDock 10 System is "Made for iPod" and "Works with iPhone" certified, and is compatible with any clickwheel iPod or iPod Touch, the iPhone 3GS, 3G and original iPhone model. Measuring approximately 9" (22.9 cms) high, 17" (43.2 cms) wide and 10" (25.4cms) deep, it incorporates new and existing Bose technologies, including a new version of Bose proprietary waveguide technology; debuting for the first time and developed specifically for the Sound Dock 10 system.



Together, the new waveguide and custom Bose woofer produce very deep low notes, without enlarging the enclosure or requiring a separate sub woofer. They are connected by a proprietary multi-purpose metal cap that met a required combination of benefits: it seals the waveguide and woofer, provides magnetic shielding, directs air through the enclosure, and withstands the high internal pressure created by the system when played.

SoundDock 10 digital music system is available in all Bose outlets pan-India from next month and its price is fixed at Rs 40,388. The optical bluetooth intercharge dock will be available at Rs 8,888.

Nano-Shoot out..!!

Never thought Nano would be just limited to Musics,i had a feel that it would come up with something new in it to spice up its use.and just like i thought,its now with Video Facility.



Features:

1.Video Recording : Just a quick scroll that takes you u to the video camera with portrait or landscape options — perfect for emailing or posting on Facebook or MobileMe. A built-in mic lets you capture audio, too. Fifteen fun video effects let you add a little Hollywood to your video. Just scroll through, choose the effect you want — such as film grain or motion blur — and start recording. When you’re done, sync iPod nano to your computer and iPhoto (or your favorite photo software) opens. Then email your miniblockbuster or post on YouTube or Facebook.

2.Genius Playlist : If you have one song you really love and want to hear other tracks that go great with it. A few clicks on iPod nano, and Genius uses that song to find other songs in your library and makes a Genius playlist for you.



3.FM Radio : Say you need to take a quick break from listening to your favorite radio station. iPod nano lets you pause it with a click. Another click and you’re listening to your station again. You can even rewind as far back as 15 minutes, then fast-forward to catch up to the live broadcast.



4.Pedometer : This is the feature that i love the most. iPod nano now doubles as a Pedometer. It uses the built-in accelerometer to keep track of your steps and help you meet your fitness goals. You can create a daily step goal or set it to Always On so it counts all the steps you take, all the time. Which makes iPod nano the ideal exercise partner.

Wanna make your image secured? Try SignMyImage

Last week i had posted article on how to check if anyone is using your images.And now i am here posting about how to make your image copyright with your invisible signature.

This application allows you to sign your images. The sign is added directly to the image data. It doesn't use EXIF or stream file properties. The sign is invisible. The sign stays detectable after jpeg compression, scaling and cropping or for example PrintScreen&Paste.It can sign bmp,png,jpg,tif images and detect signature from images and PDF files as well.

Image Spider : Image Spider is a web crawler, that searches through whole internet for signed images. If it finds a signed image the owner of the image will be notified.Image Spider has two basic modes, random crawling and custom crawling. Custom crawling means testing images on URL given by users.

Image Spider can handle simple web pages, multi frames, PHP, ASP/ASP.NET pages as well.

Supported languages: English, French, Czech, Slovak, German, Russian, Dutch, Italian, Polish, Spanish, Simplified/Traditional Chinese, Portugese, Bulgarian, Norwegian, Swedish, Bosanski, Hrvatski, Crnogorski, Srpski


How does it work :

1. Detecting a previous signature : This tool will search for the previous signature if available





2. Inputting new signature : The free version inputs a visible signature at the bottom-right corner as shown in the figure. Only this is that,the signature doesn't take characters like @,# etc...!!

2. While entering Credit card details for shoppping online/online purchase/payments use Virtual keyboard for evtering details( HDFC Bank has integrated it). every Pc has option of On-Screen Keyboard.Use the same.

3.While shppoing online via credit card,check iof the site is secured/

# check for the signs of 3rd party provider like CCAvenue and some text like " Site Verfied on - - - " - - - means day month year respectively.

# Verify if the site address has https:// instead of http://

4.If credit card statements are not received notify the bank to close down the services for your credit card.

Test USB Speed...!!

USB drive has really helped to trasfer content faster than anything. Simple thumb drive really helps to trasfer really faster. The question is HOW FAST?

USBDeview make test by writing a large file into the USB flash drive, and then reading back the same file to getting the read speed. The speed is calculated and displayed in Megabytes per second (MB/Sec).



According to Nirsoft, this speed test is made with sequential read and write operations. When using multiple small files, the read/write performances are usually much lower than sequential read/write.

Samsung Laptop N110-Battle The Marathon

THE WAIT IS OVER! The minute you set eyes on this Laptop you will feel to be lunging towards it to put it on and checking out new features.



The Samsung NC10 found itself on Tech Buyers List when it first hit the market in October 2008.Thought NC10 had many issues with battery and touch pad,Samsung has ensured and fixed these issues within no time in its new Launch Samsung N110.
The wait has been finally paid off and despite some strong new competition, Samsung remains atop the heap of buyers guide with its new N110.

# So, what is in action?

Well, though the basic chassis is largely the same as that of NC10, Samsung has opted for a few well considered design changes. N110 Laptop has similar internal specifications as that of NC10, including 1.6 GHZ Intel Atom N270,Intel 945GSE + ICH7M Chipset,1GB RAM,160 GB Hard Disk.Samsung has made drastic change in the design of the Laptop.The matte lid in NC10 has been replaced with a black glossy coating,and its sleeker. Samsung has provided a lengthy of 10Hr battery backup against six cell battery runtime.Dimensions of the laptop are 261.2 mm(W),185.8 mm(D),30.8 mm (H).

# Literally A Bucketful:

I always wondered that specs really don't reflect the performance they are just for raw number & alphabetic crunching but this particular laptop has been a great improvement from NC10.

1.Keyboard : The 93 percent of full-size; 83 key keyboard layout is comfortable and "easy working" with.Also,Raised Keypads provides seat back comfort.Silver Nano Technology to coat the small key pads have really added on to anti bacterial feature.Samsung ensures 99.9 Bacteria clearence in 24 hours time creating environmental healthy working on laptop.



2.Screen Resolution : Size of LCD Screen is nearly 10.1 inches with resolution of 1024 x 600. 1.3 MP Webcam really remind me of "Live Chat". Super clarity and clean video images makes it a preferable laptop choice.

3.Speakers : 2.1 Channel Speakers positioned on the bottom front of the N110's chassis, produces decently loud sound.Well just remembered "We are the world" song by MJ being played on NC110 Laptop..wow..!! it sounded like "Live Performance". It also has Mic Noise Suppression EDS (Enhanced Digital Sound) Effect for advanced clarity for frequent listeners.

4.Long Battery Life: 6 Cell option provides scope for higher working hours on this laptopn with out any external power supply and of course with total comfort and relaxation.

5.Hard Disk & RAM : N110 Is inbuilt with 1GB DDR2 RAM and 160 GB SATA Hard Disk. To boot up windows XP takes just 38 Seconds! When i worked on this laptop, nearly 5GB of mixed data contents took higher bound time of 6Min only.

6.Connectivity : The 802.11b/g Wi-Fi card provided a strong connection to the Net.Average speed delivered is nearly 20.7 MBPS and 18.5 MBPS from 15 feet and 50feet respectively. Samsung's Inbuilt Network tool named;Easy Network Manager can be used for connecting to a wireless access point. Samsung N110 Also provides Bluetooth 2.0 Connectivity for Mobile Users.

7. Other Features: 3-in-1 (SD, SDHC, MMC) Card Reader and 3 USB Slots.It has VGA Output slot but it lacks S-Out Video.

8.Software : Samsung N110 comes along with Windows XP Home Edition.Samsung have also bundled its own utilities with the N110, including the Samsung Recovery Solution III and Samsung Magic Doctor. Samsung has incorporated McAfee to provide security for this laptop.

9. Warranty : Samsung covers one-year warranty and 24/7 toll-free technical support.


# Smaller & Lighter :

If you are frequent traveler,then this is your ideal choice as Samsung N110 with AC Adapter in travel bag fits in up to 3.4 pounds and really doesn't put any strain on travelers shoulder.well its really ultra-portable.

# Should You Explore IT ? :

Samsung N110 just got better from NC10 series.The keys of the keyboard really make it so comfortable for typing on long runs,and battery backup is largely a consideration. Samsung N110 excels in its portability features and dimensional looks.Laptop Transfer rate also is on N110's brighter side.Webcam really provides cool clarity and of course when teamed up with good internet connection,use of Skype,yahoo or any video chat services can be breath taking for video chatting. excellent sound clarity finds its use for daily music lovers. Sound quality is impressive but not ideal for heavy bass listeners. in short it serves as music marathon with minimal fatigue and irritation for listeners.



# Missing in Action :

I would love to see dedicated graphic card for this laptop and a slight Hard Disk capacity increase that would make this laptop more sustainable for disk space loads.

# People's Verdict

If you have any more features in mind which you would like to highlight besides that of what i have mentioned in this post,kindly post comments in "comments" section at the end of this post.Also,Kindly feel free to discuss and post matter related to NC110 Laptop and if you are a reader with already NC110 purchased,then surely it would be pleasure to know about your experience.

My Rating : 4/5

My Prediction : A Worthy Rival To Existing Laptop Contenders
