Free Anti Virus Tools

All antivirus tools are not perfect, they miss things or can be purposefully damaged. Here are some free tools that help you supercharge your AV utility and keep your Windows computer clean. Of course not all PC has a metal roofing, I don’t think Firefox can help on preventing when online too (Well, maybe on surfing the web).

BitDefender Online Scanner is a web application (requires Internet Explorer) that scans your system’s memory and all files, detecting and removing infections. Perfect to check if you regular antivirus app missed a malware infection. Also I recommend ThreatFire Free. ThreatFire is a free download that supplements (now don’t go deleting your AV engine just yet) your regular antivirus program. It’s cool because it has “behavioral-analysis protection” that basically attempts to identify Trojan horses and other malware based on how your PC operates. Those with “slowing” computer may want to check this out!

Window 7 Demo

This shit caught my eyes, and I think I’m in love with Windows 7 instead Windows Vista doesn’t have so much different with Windows XP actually, if you take a deep look into Windows Vista, it just add more eye-candy on the shell, nothing much changes. I was keep thinking about bootcamp and Windows XP for sometimes, you know it’s kind of hard when I have to change my daily experience, some more, my external HDD was formatted into Mac journal, PC will never read my external HDD, and there were about 20GB of my assignments, softwares, portfolio and etc.

Just look at the Windows 7 demo video there, the windows explorer are TAB able~!!! No more list of tabs on the taskbar, all windows explorer will be in one explorer only by opening tab. Not only in tab, it can columnize each windows too. Beside this tab windows explorer, I saw that screenshot also improved, I get to choose what will be snapped But I still think that Mac screenshot is much much better though, but it’s a ncie improvement nevertheless. One more feature that it has and Mac OS doesn’t have but many users are looking for, the disk usage utility Time to get St. John villa rentals and wait for it to launch there! Let’s see when Windows 7 will launch first

Check Your Battery

Recently I found out this good application called Coconut, it is an application that check your battery original capacity and current battery capacity.

Strange thing is, after didn’t use the battery for some times, I recall it’s like about 4 months, my battery life span getting shorter and shorter each time I reuse them, so I figure I give it a try. That’s what I got, and it’s shocking! Just look at it, how much it change from time to time. What’s wrong with my battery?

I didn’t use battery most of the time, but I do tried to use it on monthly basic. Look at the battery recycle, it was 95 on the first day and I have to test them for 3 days, all 3 days they gave me different capacities, sigh… I’m not going to get a new battery in anyway though, but for sure I’m getting a new laptop soon
