Pimp my profile
By admin | November 12, 2007
This site is really huge and chances are they have what you need to spice up your profile. Premade layouts, graphics and generators for Myspace, but also Friendster, hi5, and many other! There’s even Blogger editor!
Add graphics, music, or anything else to your Myspace profile and show how you feel or who you love.
If you wish to make some changes yourself you can use Pimp-My-Profile.com myspace layout editor. Really a lot can be changed, and it can be done
through an on site interface. You must specify location of the background image you have, say on Photobucket.
I must say it could be just great if they have few pictures already displayed there so you can choose them instantly, but we all have some images on Photobucket so this shouldn’t be a problem.
You can change the way your tables look like, you can change text in your myspace profile and this tab is just awesome! Also some options for scrollbars, some tweaks like option to hide “extended network”
or even friends.
If you wish to have Flash mp3 player on your site, this could be done also! Glowing text, music and video codes, layout snatcher, various flash toys like magic 8 ball or slideshow, over 100 “online now” icons, everything you need to make your myspace profile stand out from the other ones.
If that’s not enough try Shadow Text Generator, MySpace Contact Table Generator, Banner Generator, Glitter Text Generator, and many other interesting tools. All of them are really awesome.
At the end, preview and save your layout. And then, you can simply paste it into your “About me” section.

By admin | August 31, 2007
You know about these mp3 players which over time became so huge, I mean really huge. Now there are some
tools which are so small but still have functionality needed to play mp3’s and even record them in real time.
To make things even better there is one tool which can do just that and is also freeware.

1by1 mp3 directory player, within it’s 106 kb has enough of functionality that for average everyday use you won’t need any other.

Comodo Free Firewall, just thoughts
By admin | August 29, 2007
After using other firewalls for some time I was looking for a replacement. After a bit of searching it was
Comodo which came out to be No.1 at many places.
Now we all have right to an opinion about something so that’s the case here too. Nobody knows everything there is to know and you are on your own to decide after reading about something, whether it’s a product or a site, a game or whatever.
A lot of people defend their choice but this tool looked like something really worth trying.
Zone Alarm is a choice of many people, one of the reasons is his intuitive interface and ease of use but Comodo offered
greater scope of options to tweak and therefore it may be possible to set it as you think it would do it’s job best.
To be able to do it at some satisfactory level, you must do some reading first.
If you had a firewall before, as is probably the case, it may be good to inform yourself about uninstalling that one first
(google:uninstal name-of-firewall-here) because some of them may leave a mess behind them. Whether you would go that way or just uninstal and carry on is on you.
The most straight forward steps to install Comodo I found at Comodo forum in a post CPF Installation - Step by step. The process is shortly described there, you must uninstal any other firewall you may have, or disable xp firewall if active then use automatic installation.
The truth is Comodo is also slightly harder for the average user than some other firewalls but provides top protection.
No firewall provides an absolute protection, I suppose there is no perfect protection it’s just that some programs are considered better..
The basis of Comodo is his rules for Inbound and Outbound traffic. What is allowed and not allowed to go through a wire.
Read “Tutorials - A Compiled Resource” at comodo forums to find out. Again, it may be a bit complicated but it will provide you with some advanced protection at the end..
Well it all kinda reminds me of GIMP. Complicated at first, but a great tool once you get into it.
You can also read Understanding how Comodo Firewall Rules work and take a look at these results at matousec.com, which is testing various firewalls, paid and free.

Really interesting sites - Museumofhoaxes
By admin | August 22, 2007
Don’t wanna be serious all the time, isn’t it? Like April fools day? Do you think it’s not as interesting as it was before? Take a look at Museumofhoaxes! They have “Top 100 April Fool’s Day Hoaxes Of All Time”. Each, I mean each one of them is really good.
You can read how Alabama state decided to change Pi value from 3.14159 into a “Biblical value” 3.0 , How Burger King introduced “Left-Handed Whopper” for left handed people with ingredients are rotated 180 degrees and when, of course, some right handed people asked for their usual “right handed Whopper”.
One guy burned hundreds of old tyres in an old volcano to fool people it’s, like, active again !!! Now this is a “practical” joke, isn’t it?
How about a news about Japanese marathon runner who was, like, wrongly told to run 26 days instead of 26 miles..
How about a formation of a new type of charity for homeless called “Arm the Homeless”. As you can guess, instead of food, this organisation would give guns and ammunition???
How about an announcement that a Big Ben in London would be given a big digital numbers, to “keep up with times”! Can you imagine protesters!
Good site, no doubt!

Free antivirus tools
By admin | August 11, 2007
There is probably no software to discover all viruses present on the internet. New types and variants are discovered every day so a perfect protection is impossible. Well anyway virus threat exists and some form of antivirus protection is needed. To be exact, these should be one of your most important programs you got in your computer. If we don’t wish to pay then there are freeware programs available. Antivir, BitDefender, AVG, Avast are few of the best freebie antivirus programs and give best detection rate.
AOL also has one, called Active virus shield.
Active Virus Shield is a tool based on Kaspersky antivirus software. Beside on demand scanner it also has file antivirus which scans files when accessed and prevents viruses from activating even if they are already inside of your computer. And also email virus scan. Also, it is possible to scan only selected folders which you suspect may have a virus or other malware. All in all, an excellent tool.
AntiVir is software made by German programmers and it has high virus detection rate and its personal edition is free for private and individual use. It can detect and remove more than 50 000 viruses. There is also resident scanner called Virus Guard which can be disabled if you wish, and internet update wizard to obtain updates free of charge.
Support can be obtained on their message board. It’s about 17 Mb so it’s possible to download even for those with dial-up connection, it would take an hour or so. It would be more for Linux users cause Linux download is about 40 Mb. BitDefender had some pretty good results too. It’s free version is without resident protection but does excellent job when scanning.
Really nice and clean interface, adjustable.
There’s possibility to turn off archives scanning for example which can slightly speed up scanning, you can choose extension of the files to scan etc.
AVG antivirus free edition is another free antivirus program. At the bottom of their page is download link. It’s only 5 Mb in size. It has resident scanner and also e-mail scanner and automatic update feature. It has good detection rate.
Avast is free for home, noncommercial use. You can download it and use it for 60 days as a demo and then you need to register to obtain free license key from the manufacturer. Avast features simple user interface, resident antivirus protection and automatic updates.
Also there is ClamWin, an open source antivirus tool.
Freeware tools, most of the time cannot be compared with commercial products. If you wish best protection, no doubt well known paid programs will do it. These are for people who have interest in trying freeware programs which still offer protection against viruses it’s just that paid programs will do it better.
