Auslogics BoostSpeed 5 SE Version


Taken from MajorGeeks:

Auslogics BoostSpeed 5 Special Edition will enhance your PCs performance with a host of useful optimisation tools.

The Disk Cleaner, for instance, will search your hard drive for junk files that can safely be deleted.

The Registry Cleaner wipes away redundant Registry entries, then Auslogics Disk Defrag reorganises your files to improve Windows and application speeds.

The bundled Startup Manager displays everything that's launched when Windows starts, as well as Internet Explorer addons and Explorer extensions. Potentially dangerous programs, like spyware, are highlighted, so they're easy to remove. And anything else you decide you don't need can be disabled at a click, improving boot time and freeing up valuable system resources.

BoostSpeed 5's System Advisor then scans your system for configuration issues, and recommends possible changes: Windows services that can be safely disabled, security tweaks you should make, and so on.

And if you're in a hurry and don't have time to explore all these tools, then you can always leave BoostSpeed 5's System Scan to do the hard work for you. In a couple of click it will start scanning your PC for Registry issues, junk files, unwanted internet and application histories, fragmented hard drives and more.

The System Scan will then automatically repair any issues it finds, and can even shut down your PC when it's done, the perfect solution for unattended, hassle-free PC optimisation.

In short, Auslogics BoostSpeed 5 SE Version is a crippled version of Auslogics BoostSpeed 5.

Search by Image instead of word using Google Images

Most of us know that Google Search Engine is the best Search Engine as it gives the most relevant results compared to other 2 most used Search Engine like Yahoo or Bing.

And Google released Google Chrome on September 2, 2008, which is around 3 years ago. Firstly, Google Chrome had been tested by Independence Browser Speed Tests and had been the fastest browser from its first version till now.

Talking about features, Google Chrome wins all of the browsers in the market (except add-ons as most of them are not yet created for Google Chrome yet):

Simplicity -Fast search & search suggestion directly from the address bar. Wider Screen.
Security - The first browser with Sandbox protection.
Website- Easier to edit and view source code for HTML editors.
Translation - Auto detects of language and option to translate between languages within the browser.


And now?

You can even search using Images! Incredible!







Check out the video to learn how to use it:



Note:
The "Drag & Drop" feature works with Google Chrome 12.0.742.100 & Firefox 4.0.1
The "Drag & Drop" feature does not work with Internet Explorer 9.0.8112.16421

Use WhatFont to know what font is used in image or webpage


What is the easiest way to find out the fonts used in a webpage? Firebug or Webkit Inspector? No, that's too complicated. It should be just a click away.

With WhatFont, you can easily get font information about the text or iamge you are hovering on.

To embrace the new web font era, WhatFont also detects services used for serving the font. Now supports Typekit and Google Font API.


To use it, after you installed in Chrome, you need to click on the add-on to "turn on" the function.

Protect yourself from Auto-run Attacks!

For years, Autorun-based malware has been atop of the worldwide e-threat landscape, with notorious representatives such as Trojan.AutorunInf, the Conficker worm (Win32.Worm.Downadup) or Worm.Autorun.VHD.


The Immunize option allows you to immunize your USB storage device or SD card against infections with autorun-based malware. Even if your storage device has been plugged into an infected computer, the piece of malware will be unable to create its autorun.inf file, thus annihilating any chance of auto-launching itself.

The Immunize Computer slider allows you to toggle the autorun feature On or Off for any removable media (except for CD/DVD-ROM devices). If you accidentally plug in an infected USB drive that has not been immunized, the computer will not auto-execute the piece of malware located on the USB storage device.

It doesn't not need to be install to use it. just double click and run it.



Comparison: Panda USB Vaccine V.S. Bitdefender USB Immunizer

A while ago, I did introduce 2 software that are able to disable auto-run which are Panda USB Vaccine and NoAutorun. As I didn't really try NoAutorun, I think I will skip it.

So a did a small test on both of the software. Since my computer is "vaccinated" by Panda, I remove it.


And when I try with Bitdefender, it said is immunized. When I check it with Panda, it say I'm not. So I think that Bitdefender only protect to a certain extent as they already mentioned:
"except for CD/DVD-ROM devices" which mean CD/DVD-roms devices are not disabled.

Panda USB Vaccine is disable autorun completely like USB drives or CD/DVD drives which I think is much safer.

Also, Bitdefender USB Immunizer failed to detect my external harddisk but Panda USB Vaccine is able to detect and disable it.

So I guess Panda USB Vaccine is much better than Bitdefender USB Immunizer.

The only difference is Bitdefender USB Immunizer doesn't require and installation to use it while Panda USB Vaccine need to be install before you can use it.

G Data CloudSecurity- Another Web Browser Protection Plugin


G Data CloudSecurity is a web browser protection plugin that is compatible with Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox.

This plugin will scans web pages for malicious activity and warns users if malicious activities have been discovered during the scan and will show you the above warning page. Malicious activities include phishing and malware downloads, among others.


Features:
  • Compatible with all other security products
  • Prevents access to malware and phishing websites
  • Install once – no updates required
  • PC performance remains unaffected
  • Ideal supplement for free AV programs



You can also disable this plugin for a time period. Personally, I think this is great for Newbie but lack of information/explanation on why the sites it block for.

Experienced users will choose Web-Of-Trust(WOT) and McAfee's siteadvisor for it.
