Advanced System Protector Personal Edition 2.0

Advanced System Protector is a solution to detect and remove the malicious programs intruding your computer. It offers protection against deceptive applications that affect start-up programs, cookies, Registry entries, and files and folders to hide themselves in your system. Check for infections in all vulnerable areas and safeguard your hard work and personal data.
With the vast database of spyware detections you can efficiently control low-risk annoying pop-up adverts to high-risk infections that can steal confidential data to severe-risk malware that can even format your system in stealth mode. Advanced System Protector scans for Spyware, Adware, Malware, Riskware, Key Loggers, Trojans, Sniffers, BHOs, Exploits, Worms, Monitoring Programs and the type. It tracks all the infections present on your system, shows severity of every infection found, removes all the malicious entries and protects your data from prying eyes. It further provides complete protection by blocking the programs you suspect. In addition to all these features, you can schedule the program to scan your system automatically. The Personal Edition of Advanced System Protector does not provide real-time protection. That feature is only available in the Pro Edition.
"Pretty protection"
This spyware remover looks good, offering security fundamentals but its efficacy is hard to judge on a clean or already-secure system. Advanced System Protector aims to rid your machine of spyware and malware, and it's generally a pretty thing to watch. The interface has a classy bar of tabs across the top, although the central pane feels a bit cluttered by deviating from the design scheme with a big, green Start Scan Now button.
Below that there are three choices for the type of scan: Quick, Deep, and Custom. The Quick scan took about 23 minutes, while the Custom scan lets you opt out of Cookies, Memory, Registry, and Files and Folders, or select specific folders and files to toss in the pot. Advanced System Protector is sensitive enough to pick up tracking cookies, although there didn't seem to be a method for fine-tuning that. The scheduler was surprisingly impressive, allowing for scans daily, once, and variations in-between. You can configure the program to run at startup, to update definition files automatically, and create a whitelist of files to never scan.
However, Advanced System Protector lacks an integrated antivirus component, which more and more solo malware battlers are now building in from the get-go. The real-time shields components are also kept behind a deadbolt unless you upgrade to the paid version. Overall, program runs well for what it can do and shouldn't be hard to use.

Dual Monitors: Use a Different Wallpaper on Each Monitor

One of the most popular articles around here has been the article I wrote a year ago about using
different wallpapers on each desktop using Active Desktop in Windows XP. The problem with that article is that it didn't work in Windows Vista… but now we have a great solution that is also free.
Instead of paying money for software to use separate wallpapers, or creating a wallpaper in Photoshop,Someone has created a Free piece of software that lets you easily set separate wallpapers for each desktop.
Once the software is installed, you'll notice a new tray icon. Clicking the Desktop Wallpaper item from the menu will open up the dialog where you can set the wallpaper.
You can click on each desktop in the display, and set display settings differently for each monitor, or span the wallpaper across the two.
Or you can even load wallpaper from Flickr, which is an incredibly cool feature. Type in "vista wallpaper" for some really nice images.
If you chose the Settings from the tray icon popup menu, you'll notice that this application also adds a set of shortcut keys that can be used to move windows from one monitor to the other.
This is now a must-have application for my multi-monitor configuration. This application is donationware, which means you don't have to donate anything, but you really should consider it.

Windows VISTA SP1- Pre-Install Checkings

Here is a check-list of some things which you may want to ensure before going ahead with its download and install.
1.
Foremost, make sure that you have sufficient Disk Space.
If you plan to use Windows Update, you will need at around 1.2 GB for the 32-bit version, and around 1.5GB for the 64-bit version.
If you plan to download the stand-alone installer package, depending on your Vista version, you will need from 2.5 to 5.5GB for the 32-bit version, and around 4 GB to 8GB for the 64-bit version.
So run Disk Cleanup Utility or freeware CCleaner. If you still feel you are short, think of moving your Songs or Videos or Photographs to another drive or to an external medium. If you try to install SP1, and it finds that available disk space is less, then, the installation process will automatically frsee disk space by removing all existing system restore points and by creating a single new system restore point instead.
2. Best to Run Chkdsk and check your system hard disk for errors.
3. If you have a prior version of the SP1 beta installed, you must uninstall it. It may show as Service Pack for Microsoft Windows KB936330, in your Add Remove Programs. Do note that Windows Update will not offer you Vista SP1, for at least an hour or so, until and after you have uninstalled such a pre-release version.
4. If you have your Automatic Updates enabled, you should have no issues. Nevertheless, check the Updates history and ensure that the following updates show as Installed Successfully and NOT as failed. These are pre-requisites required for Vista SP1.
KB935509. This is only required on Windows Vista Enterprise and Windows Vista Ultimate editions. which have Bitlocker capabilities. This update is required prior to installing KB938371, the 2nd prerequisite package, and is required to prevent potential loss of data on Bitlocker encrypted systems during servicing. KB938371. This package consists of fixes for several components, including the TrustedInstaller, that increases the success rate for installing the service pack, and which enable the service pack to be successfully uninstalled. This must be installed prior to the service pack install itself to enable these fixes. KB937287. This is an update to the “Servicing Stack” or the Windows Vista component installer technologies built into Windows Vista. This update enables the built-in installer to properly and successfully install the service pack itself.
5. Back up your files to an external medium like DVD, CD, USB flash drive, etc. No harm in creating your own system restore point too, manually.
6. Disable your 3rd Party Firewall and Anti Virus.
7. Make sure you are plugged in, to your Mains, when you are downloading and installing the Vista SP1.
8. Check which of your applications may give you a problem post-SP1 install. Best to uninstall them then.

Everthing should go smoothly, but it always good to take a few precautions !

How to Remove Windows XP's Messenger

Theoretically, you can get rid of it (as well as a few other things). Windows 2000 power users should already be familiar with this tweak.

Fire up the Windows Explorer and navigate your way to the %SYSTEMROOT% \ INF folder. What the heck is that thingy with the percentage signs? It's a variable. For most people, %SYSTEMROOT% is C:\Windows. For others, it may be E:\WinXP. Get it? Okay, on with the hack! In the INF folder, open sysoc.inf (but not before making a BACKUP copy first). Before your eyes glaze over, look for the line containing "msmsgs" in it. Near the end of that particular line, you'll notice that the word "hide" is not so hidden. Go ahead and delete "hide" (so that the flanking commas are left sitting next to one another). Save the file and close it. Now, open the Add and Remove Programs applet in the Control Panel. Click the Add / Remove Windows Components icon. You should see "Windows Messenger" in that list. Remove the checkmark from its box, and you should be set.
NOTE: there are other hidden system components in that sysoc.inf file, too. Remove "hide" and the subsequent programs at your own risk.
