It allows you to detect and remove HackerDefender Trojans and its clonesUnHackMe allows you to detect and remove a new generation of Trojan programs - invisible Trojans!!. UnHackMe is a very useful security utility for your operating system.They are called "rootkit" A rootkit is a collection of programs that a hacker uses to mask intrusion and obtain administrator-level access to a computer or computer network. The intruder installs a rootkit on a computer using a user action or by exploiting a known
vulnerability or cracking a password. The rootkit installs a backdoor giving the hacker a full control of the computer. It hides their files, registry keys, and process names, and network connections from your eyes. Your antivirus could not detect such programs because they use compression and encryption of its files. The sample software is Hacker Defender rootkit. You need use UnHackMe to detect and remove Hacker Defender or its clone.

Quick USB Ejector


A program that allows you to quickly remove USB devices in Windows. It was originally designed to remove only USB pen drives but will now eject any USB device. It can be run as a non-visual command line program or a normal gui program. Its very useful if you have a USB flash/pen drive, especially if you use a menu such as PStart or the Portable Apps launcher.


The command line options are very flexible, they can be used to:
>Eject the drive that the program is running from.
>Eject a drive by specifying a drive letter.
>Eject a drive by specifying a drive name.
>Eject a drive by specifying a partial drive name.


When run as a ‘normal’ GUI program the tools enables USB devices to be quickly ejected through a mouse click or keyboard press. It’s especially useful when dealing with multiple USB devices and for Vista users who don’t want the ‘now safe to remove this device’ dialog box to appear.


The program has been tested on WindowsXP and Windows Vista but should also work on older versions of Windows.

FireFox 3 Beta 2!


Mozilla released beta 2 for download by willing testers and impatient 'fox users. The second beta plugs memory leaks (yippee!) and adds features like a new URL auto-complete display, smart bookmarks folders, and revamped download manager. Get more details about beta 2 goodness after the jump.


Notable beta 2 improvements from the release notes include:


Location bar & auto-complete: type in all or part of the title, tag or address of a page to see a list of matches from your history and bookmarks; a new display makes it easier to scan through the matching results and find that page you're looking for.


Smart Bookmarks Folder: quickly access your recently bookmarked and tagged pages, as well as your more frequently visited pages with the new smart bookmarks folder on your bookmark toolbar.


New Download Manager: the revised download manager makes it much easier to locate downloaded files, and displays where a file came from.


Memory usage: Over 300 individual memory leaks have been plugged, and a new XPCOM cycle collector completely eliminates many more. Developers are continuing to work on optimizing memory use (by releasing cached objects more quickly) and reducing fragmentation. Beta 2 includes over 30 more memory leak fixes, and 11 improvements to our memory footprint.


Of course, this is a beta so you don't want to move over to it full-time—unless you're cool with some instability and incompatible extensions while the kinks get ironed out. The Firefox 3 Beta 2 is a free download for all platforms.

Top 10 Firefox Add-ons


Firefox has been getting a lot of press in the recent years, and for good reasons. The best features of firefox is that it allows its users to increase its functionality with add-ons, like accessing your email faster or auto-filling forms.


Here are G4F’s top 10 Firefox Add-ons:


1. All-in-One Sidebar
Allow’s you to have a sidebar which can open multiple panels. Rather than independently opening your panels like bookmarks, history, and downloads, have them all conveniently stored on your sidebar.


2. Answers
Don’t know what a word means while browsing a website? Want to know more information about a certain topic? The Answers Add-on allows you to alt-click on the word and instantly, you can read more information about that word/topic from answers.com. Very useful, and saves you from opening a new tab and typing the word.


3. Autofill Forms
It gets annoying to having to keep typing the same old information in any sites - name, address, email, zip… Use this Add-on to let firefox automatically input this in for you.


4.Download Statusbar
Don’t like the clutter that the download sidebar brings? Get this Add-on. It conveniently shows any files being dowloaded in firefox above the statusbar.


5. Distrust
Hide any trace of browsing when distrust is enabled. Do you go on a secret website that no one should know about? Enable distrust while you surf it, and it will erase any trace of the website.


6.Greasemonkey
By far, one of the most useful add-ons, if you know how to use it. You can get an infinite amount of greasemonkey scripts which allow you to customize any webpage. Go on user Userscripts.org to search for scripts for your favorite website.


7. IE Tab
Some websites still don’t fully support Firefox. This add-on makes surfing those sites more conveniently by running them in Internet Explorer mode inside Firefox. You never need to run IE again.


8. Scrapbook
Take notes or save tidbits from web pages easily. Highlight a section from a web site, and capture it with scrapbook. It will even save the web page automatically.
Note: You can even add this to the All-in-one sidebar for easy access.


9. Tiny Menu
Replaces the menu bar (file, edit..) with, well… a tiny menu called “Menu”. When clicked, it shows the full menu bar. This declutters the top of your Firefox toolbar so you can add more tools to it.


10.Smart Bookmarks Bar
The perfect addition to tiny menu. This allows you to have bookmarks on the top toolbar. Most importantly, you can set this to only show the web sites icon, without displaying its full name. This gives you room for many bookmarks, and even folders.

FIREFOX 3.0 Review



I’ve been a long time Firefox fanboy. I was one of the 10,000 people who contributed, and had their name featured in the NY Times back in 2004. I’ve long preached to anyone who would listen that Firefox is a better alternative to Internet Explorer, particularly back in the days prior to IE 7.



Then my love affair with Firefox started to end. Firefox 1.5 (and the earlier versions, I started at 0.7) never skipped a beat, and unlike IE it had tabs, which were a god send to me as it was to many others. Mozilla launched Firefox 2.0, and suddenly my internet experience started to sour. I’m a heavy tab user, so it’s not unusual for me to have 15, 20 and even more tabs open, it’s how I read my feeds in the morning, opening up the stories that interest me for later reading. Firefox had what has been called by others “memory leaks,” which in laymen’s terms meant that it tripped out your memory on a PC, froze up and crashed…and far too regularly.




I became a Mac user this year, and the first thing I did when I started up OS X for the first time was to download Firefox, hoping that perhaps it was a PC problem. It wasn’t. Same memory problems, same crashes. Mac fanboys told me that it was my fault for using plugins, so I deleted Firefox and started again without the plugins. Same problems, constant freezing (even with 4gb on a MacPro) and crashes. I switched to Safari for a time, and as much as it was a decent browser, it doesn’t play nice with all sites, in particular with the WYSIWIG backend on Wordpress blogs.




Then came Flock 1.0. I’d never been a Flock fan before, always believing it to be nothing more than Firefox with plugins (Flock is based on the Firefox engine). Having watched the demo at TechCrunch 40 I downloaded the beta of Flock 1.0 and surfed away without incident. Some how the folks at Flock had tweaked the underlying Firefox engine to stop the memory issues.



I was hoping that Firefox 3.0 might finally fix the blight that was Firefox 2. Firefox 3 Beta 1 has been released for testing (download here) so I fired up Firefox 3 and Flock with the exact same tabs opened, hoping that perhaps Mozilla had finally heard the protests of its loyal user base. The stats (image right) say it all.



It didn’t crash in my testing, but having said that the test was fairly short. Firefox was never a browser to crash immediately, usually teasing the user with functionality for some time before deciding that enough was enough, then freezing or crashing all together some time later.
Others have more positive reviews of Firefox 3. I can only hope that by the time it gets to full release it’s as stable as Firefox 1.5 was.

Tweak VI (Vista Tweaking Tool)

Windows Vista : Tweak, optimize and enhance Vista with Tweak VI, a free utility.


The software provides a wealth of tools for messing with Vista's guts, including a boot-configuration manager, a CPU optimizer, browser-settings managers and tons more. I particularly like the addition of Windows-shutdown and -restart icons to both the desktop and Quick Launch toolbar. Granted, the freeware version gets you only so far; fully half the features require you to subscribe to one of the premium versions. But for anyone who likes to tinker with Windows and wants easy access to various Vista underpinnings, Tweak VI Basic is a great place to start. That version is free; it requires Windows Vista

Add tabs to Windows desktop with Stick


Freeware app Stick adds tabs for RSS, calendar, explorer, notes, and the calculator to the Windows desktop. Stick tabs are highly customizable and can be relocated to any part of the screen. Stick leaves a light (10MB) memory footprint and opens Explorer, Calculator, and the calendar much faster than Windows on its own. By setting your tabs to remain on top and to auto-hide, you can have one-click access to some of your most frequently used apps without disturbing your desktop or existing apps. Stick also acts as a keyword launcher (Windows Key + Space) and has hotkeys baked in so you can access your tabs without the mouse. Stick ain't no Launchy, but its speed, light memory usage, and hotkeys make it well worth the college try. Stick is a free download for Windows only.

Vista Drive icons for Windows XP/2000


Want to keep better tabs on your drive and partition space without having to right-click or open "My Computer"? Free application Vista Drive Icon replaces the standard hard drive icons with Vista-style models that display how much space is taken up and turn red when nearly full. The program runs in the background, shows up in almost every folder view and uses only a small amount of memory.

Make your Taskbar Transparent


Add transparency to your Windows taskbar and give yourself slightly more usable desktop real estate with freeware application TransBar. While the latter claim (more desktop space) may seem like nonsense, it's especially true for two-row taskbar folks like myself who don't like auto-hiding the taskbar. Whether you want a touch more desktop space or you just want to keep in step with your favorite Windows desktops, TransBar is a simple, lightweight utility that can do both. TransBar is freeware, Windows only.

Get song lyrics while playing a song !!!

Here's a very cool little plugin called Lyrics Plugin for Winamp or Windows Media Player that displays song lyrics when you start playing a song ! You no longer have to go searching the internet for the song lyrics ! Simply play your MP3 file and a few magical seconds later all of the lyrics for that song show up automatically !!!

THE BEST PART OF THIS IS IT SHOWS ANY LANGUAGE !! HERE's My Screen Short





Once installed, for example in Windows Media Player on my computer, choose a song from the libray and begin playing it. Then click on the Now Playing button across the top and the lyrics screen will show up. Of course, this program will not find all of the lyrics for every song, but if you feel up to you can add the lyrics yourself! But from my testing, any popular song or half-decent band's songs were all found and they were correct.

Take your PC IN YOUR PENDRIVE!!!

Take your Digital Mojo (your software, settings and data) with you on ANY device, and run on ANY PC*.

MojoPac can be installed on your iPod, USB flash drive, or any other device with a USB drive like your USB-enabled mobile phone. There’s no need to lug your laptop along. MojoPac allows you to take all your communications, music, games, applications, and files with you, on a device that fits in your pocket!

MojoPac is a technology that transforms your iPod or USB Hard Drive or Flash drive into a portable and private PC. Just install MojoPac on any USB 2.0 compliant storage device, upload your applications and files, modify your user settings and environment preferences, and take it with you everywhere.


Every time you plug your MojoPac-enabled device into any Windows XP PC , MojoPac automatically launches your environment on the host PC. Your communications, music, games, applications, and files are all local and accessible. And when you unplug the MojoPac device, no trace is left behind – your information is not cached on the host PC.


NOTE: 1)The current version of MojoPac requires administrative privileges on the host PC. We have an “Authorized Administrative Privileges” setting available today which is an ideal solution for enterprises, universities, libraries or other environments.
2) The support for Windows Vista is to be released shortly.



Privacy

With MojoPac, your personal information is never left behind. When you unplug your MojoPac device from any host PC, all browsing history, Multimedia Player history, applications history, files and personal settings are removed along with it. Additionally, all the sensitive information that you want to protect, such as financial applications or your private communications, can be installed on your MojoPac device, keeping them off of your PC and inaccessible to anyone.



Playability
You don’t have to limit yourself to playing your favorite PC games at home. MojoPac allows you to install the most popular PC and online games, and take them with you wherever you go. Just plug your MojoPac device into any Windows XP PC and launch your game with your settings and the state of your game from the last time you played. World of Warcraft at work… Everquest II at your girlfriend’s… Half-Life at the family reunion… game on! And MojoPac will never leave a trace behind on the host PC.

Protection of IT Policies
Install the applications that IT has not approved on your MojoPac device. Use your preferred browsers, communications software, and security applications without installing them on your work PC.

Power Supply
Use your MojoPac device to replicate your laptop, and never hibernate again. When one power supply is drained, simply plug MojoPac into another desktop or laptop PC and you’re up and running again immediately.


Personal Preferences
Easily toggle back and forth between your PC and your MojoPac. Each presents you with whatever personal preferences and environment you have chosen for that system. You can keep your serious work view on your PC, and your fun play view on your MojoPac, keeping them separate even when running them simultaneously.

iPod Liberation
With MojoPac, you can install iTunes and QuickTime on your iPod, plug into to any Windows XP PC, and download songs and Podcasts. Your iPod never needs to be dependent on a specific PC to get access to iTunes!

Painless PC Sharing
Every user in your house can instantly have his or her personalized client experience on one PC without altering a single setting or file. With MojoPac, not only can everyone keep their own applications, downloads, files, games, browser settings, MP3s and IM buddies off of the main hard drive, they can take those to any other PC and have the same user experience that they have at home.

PC Resurrection
Replicate your PC on a MojoPac device and use it as a secure back-up for your applications, files and preferences. If your PC goes RIP, simply plug in your MojoPac to a new laptop and be up and running immediately!

µTorrent, the BitTorrent client that is.

Micro-Sized Yet Feature Filled

Most of the features present in other BitTorrent clients are present in µTorrent, including bandwidth prioritization, scheduling, RSS auto-downloading and Mainline DHT (compatible with BitComet). Additionally, µTorrent supports the Protocol Encryption joint specification (compatible with Azureus 2.4.0.0 and above, BitComet 0.63 and above) and peer exchange.

Resource-Friendly

µTorrent was written with efficiency in mind. Unlike many torrent clients, it does not hog valuable system resources - typically using less than 6MB of memory, allowing you to use the computer as if it weren't there at all. Additionally, the program itself is contained within a single executable less than 170 KB in size.Skinnable and Localized

Various icon, toolbar graphic and status icon replacements are available, and creating your own is very simple. µTorrent also has support for localization, and with a language file present, will automatically switch to your system language. If your language isn't available, you can easily add your own, or edit other existing translations to improve them!

Actively Developed and Improved

The developer puts in a lot of time working on features and making things more user-friendly. Releases only come out when they're ready, with no schedule pressures, so the few bugs that appear are quickly addressed and fixed.

Download µTorrent now - It's Free.For Wine, Windows 95 (Winsock2), 98/ME, NT/2000, XP, 2003, and Vista (1.7 only).
