Operating System → Google CHROME OS v2.00 beta

Google Chrome has always been a little more than a browser: it's optimized for running web applications, each tab runs as a separate process, the interface is minimalistic and there's even a task manager. "We realized that the web had evolved from mainly simple text pages to rich, interactive applications and that we needed to completely rethink the browser. What we really needed was not just a browser, but also a modern platform for web pages and applications, and that's what we set out to build," said Google in September 2008.

Google's blog announces a natural extension of the Chrome project: an operating system for netbooks. "Google Chrome OS is an open source, lightweight operating system that will initially be targeted at netbooks. Later this year we will open-source its code, and netbooks running Google Chrome OS will be available for consumers in the second half of 2010. (...) Google Chrome OS will run on both x86 as well as ARM chips and we are working with multiple OEMs to bring a number of netbooks to market next year. The software architecture is simple — Google Chrome running within a new windowing system on top of a Linux kernel."

As people use more and more web applications, the operating system becomes less important and it makes no sense to pay for it. The desktop mail client could be replaced by Gmail, the calendaring application could be replaced by Google Calendar, the office suite has lightweight alternatives: Google Docs and Zoho, it makes more sense to use an online feed reader like Google Reader, your scientific calculator is less powerful than Wolfram Alpha and you'll rarely need a video player when you have YouTube, Hulu and other video sites.

This idea is not new and there are already operating systems optimized for the browser. For example, Good OS announced last year Cloud, an operating system that "integrates a web browser with a compressed Linux operating system kernel for immediate access to Internet, integration of browser and rich client applications, and full control of the computer from inside the browser". If Google manages to create a great user interface, the new operating system could be very successful.

Operating System → Windows 7 RTM Build 7600.16385 Original MSDN/TechNet DVD

The official MD5 and SHA-1 checksum for the original Windows 7 DVD ISO have been posted earlier, where user can use a hash calculator to compare the hash values.

Windows 7 RTM does not accept Windows 7 Beta product keys nor Windows 7 RC product keys. Most activation cracks or activators for Windows 7 RTM is based on frankenbuild method that does not pass validation. Currently, the best alternative is to rearm Windows 7 for 120 days free usage without activation, while waiting for genuine product keys available on MSDN or TechNet, or retail product keys to available, or for crack-maniac, the OEM certificate and SLP product key for OEM style offline instant activation crack.

How to Rearm and Extend Free Usage (Activation Grace Period) of Windows 7 to 120 Days

Windows 7 (SeVeN) is probably going to continue the trial software trend that starts with Windows Vista’s rearm, that user can install Windows 7 without any product key for free usage of 30 days as evaluation period. During the 30-day activation free grace period, user does not need to activate Windows 7, and can use Windows 7 of any edition in full functionality.

Although Windows 7 product activation function will keep reminding user how many days left to input a product key and activate the system in order to continue using the operating system
beyond 30 days. In reality, Windows 7 also equip with a secret ‘rearm’ key in order to reset the free 30-day evaluation period limitation, which allows user to extend the activation-free usage or evaluation expiry date of Windows 7 for another 30 days legally.

Best of all, Microsoft provides 3 times of available ‘rearm’ count, as part of tool for system administrator to reset and restore activation state of Windows 7 to factory state during initial OOB (out of box) grace period. So, by using the ‘rearm’ hack, user can reset and extend the activation grace period (aka evaluation trial period) for up to 3 times, effectively running Windows 7 without product key without activation for up to 120 days, or 4 months. The trick is, the rearm hack must be done only when the 30 days trial period or activation grace period is about to expire.

‘Rearm’ trick on Windows 7 is done using the similar commands and steps with Windows Vista. Follow these steps to reset and extend activation grace period from 30 days to 120 days in Windows 7:

1.Install Windows 7 without any product activation key.
2.After installation is completed, use the Windows 7 for 30 days and wait for the remaining days left to activate Windows counting down to 0, or almost zero.
3.When the activation grace period (or evaluation trial period) is almost expired or ended, log on to Windows 7 desktop, and open a Command Prompt window (i.e. type Cmd in Start Search and hit Enter).
4.Type any of the following commands into the command prompt, and then hit Enter:
sysprep /generalize

slmgr.vbs –rearm

rundll32 slc.dll,SLReArmWindows

slmgr /rearm

5.Reboot Windows 7 to enjoy another 30 days of free usage without worrying about activation nor even need to crack Windows 7.
6.When the activation grace period countdown timer almost running down to 0 again, repeat the ‘rearm’ trick to enjoy another 30 days of Windows 7 for free. User can run the rearm command for maximum of 3 times.

Thus, you will receive an overview with O&O Defrag 11, of where the individual fragmented parts of the files are to be found on the hard disk. Maximum efficiency thanks to new technology Fragmentation is the main reason for an extensive performance loss under Windows.

Newly developed technologies within O&O Defrag 11 allow for an even better adjustment to Windows Vista and a better processing of especially big file systems (several million files) – while still using the least amount of working memory. Thanks to O&O Defrag 11, many files can be read and written much faster and you can be sure that your hard disk is continuously performing at its peak

The scanner, which is built into the application, can be started anytime by the user. There are three types of scanning your computer, such as full, quick, and custom scan. However, there isn't a big difference between a full scan and a quick scan. Whenever you perform a full system scan, the hosts file is also tested. This file is used by some spyware to redirect you to their web pages.

A smart update feature is available. You can update the threat database in just a few easy steps. Updates for this kind of software are very important, because they provide protection against new threats. It's also possible to configure the program to download automatically the new updates.

10-Strike Network File Search

10-Strike Network File Search' it's a search engine, which allows you to search files on network computers. It uses the NetBios protocol. You can only find shared files. You can search either after a search phrase or after a file mask. The program can generate and save handy reports of the search. After the search is finished, you can see the file's properties, download,preview or open it. In addition, you can open the folder where it is located or simply download it to your computer or to any other computer on the network if you have enough permission.

While I've tested the program, I was impressed by the speed of the searching process. If you want to search only on a few computers from the network, you can specify this in the 'Computer Filter' menu by selecting the specific computers. You can also specify the computers from the list, which will not be included in the search. Another interesting feature is that you can select the size of the file. You can chose to be less or greater than a selected value. You can even select the dates between which the file should have been created.

The interface is very intuitive and easy to use.

Pluses: It works faster than Windows search engine.

Description

Search files on local network's servers and computers. Search files on FTP servers. Preview search results and open found files directly from the remote computers or copy them to your hard drive. Generate and save handy reports. If you are a system administrator, you can find all video or MP3 files that your users are hiding on servers. Search in hidden resources. Delete the necessary files from servers.

System Requirements
Network (NetBios, TCP port #139, ICMP should be enabled in the firewall)

What's new
Added exporting data to CSV and XML formats. Added displaying computer names instead of IP addresses in reports.

WinRAR 3.80

WinRAR archiver is a powerful tool which allows you to create, manage, and control archive files.

It supports RAR and ZIP 2.0 archives, special algorithms optimized for text, audio, graphics, 32-bit and 64-bit Intel executables compression. You can now handle archives directly from Windows Explorer due to the shell integration including drag-and-drop facility and cascaded context menus. WinRAR features wizards for beginners and command line interface for advanced users. It can handle non RAR archives (7-Zip, ACE, ARJ, BZ2, CAB, GZ, ISO, JAR, LZH, TAR, UUE, Z, GZip) management, solid archiving which can raise compression ratio by 10% - 50% over more common methods, particularly when packing a large number of small, similar files.

Using WinRAR you can create multivolume archives, self-extracting archives (also multivolume) using the default or optional SFX modules. You can use a lot of service functions, such as encryption, archive comments, error logging, etc. The program has an inbuilt viewer for viewing the content of text files within archives. You can create compression profiles in order to optimize your activity.

It has a very friendly user interface, so that the menus are customizable and offer access to important archive commands like extract, test, comment, protect, and lock, but also other important tools such as scan, convert, or benchmark and hardware test.

Pluses: There are several versions of RAR, for a number of operating environments: Windows, Linux, FreeBSD, DOS, OS/2, MacOS X. You can test, lock and repair/recover physically damaged archives or volumes allowing to reconstruct missing parts of multivolume archives. You can also take advantage of miscellaneous options such as Background archiving, turn PC off when done, compression estimation.

Among the new features we may mention: new buttons (options) such as: "Define volume sizes...", "Rename automatically", "Multithreading" option added to "Benchmark and hardware test" command, new command lines, increased compression speed (5 -15%) for some data types. The publisher states that they fixed some bugs in the multithreaded text compression algorithm.

The speed versus the rate of compression came out as medium compared to WinAce and WinZip: a directory containing multimedia and text files in total size of 104 Mb compressed at a normal rate by WinRAR resulted in a 64 Mb in 51 seconds compared to 76,2 Mb in 17 seconds for WinZip and 64,2 Mb in 1 minute and 11 seconds for WinAce.

Drawbacks / flaws:

In conclusion: A good compression over a quite short archiving time sets WinRAR in a very good position among the well known archivers. The program is a very good and reliable archiving solution.

Malwarebytes' Anti-Malware is a surprisingly effective freeware antimalware tool. It's a relatively speedy malware remover, with the quick scan mode taking about 10 minutes. The heuristics engine proved on multiple computers during empirical testing that it was capable of determining the difference between false positives and dangerous apps.

The app has some nice features rolled in, too. It supports multiple drive scanning, context menu options including a scan-on-demand for individual files, and the FileAssassin option under the More Tools section for removing locked files. The interface is simple, but pleasant-looking and well-organized. Tabs live just below the oversized logo, with few options per tab to keep the clutter to a minimum. The installation process was fast enough, but interestingly offered up the well-kept change log and an instant definition file update. You can pay for an upgrade to some snazzier features, but the free version is a worthwhile, responsive malware remover.

Avira AntiVir Personal Free Antivirus does double duty, protecting against spyware and viruses alike. For users who want backups or want to have their antivirus and antispyware separate, we've recommended alternatives, but the trend is to find the two formerly separate features rolled into one program. AntiVir's scans are flexible, allowing the user to check all hard drives, choose a preloaded scan--for rootkits, for example--or customize. After testing on several machines, no viruses turned up, although several malicious hidden files did rear their heads. The heuristic scan can be turned on or off completely or partially, with three different intensity levels.

The quarantine offers extensive support, too, although the definition file updater can be sluggish. Still, combining effective antimalware and antivirus tools into one is a freeware luxury, and AntiVir has been rated one of the most effective defense tools by third-party testers.

Comodo Firewall Pro has eradicated most of its resource-hogging ways and gives users what they want: a flexible yet simple firewall that's great for beginners but also provides a smorgasbord of information and plenty of options for advanced users.

From the category tabs of Summary, Firewall, Defense +, and Miscellaneous to more specific headings, most security terms come linked to relevant security issues so users can drill down to learn more about how the firewall is performing. Although the app rears its head often when you first fire it up, once it learns your behavior, it becomes virtually unnoticeable.
