Comodo BOClean : Anti-Malware

Malware can be placed on your machine in a number of ways. You can download what looks like an innocent program which carries malware inside it invisibly. You can receive a “greeting card” or other file from a buddy that contains a game or joke animation or it can be sent to you by exploiting security holes in Microsoft and other email programs. Malware can also be downloaded to your machine as an ActiveX control as part of the content of a rogue web page or can infest your machine by the simple act of opening up a compromised Microsoft Office file. If your machine is in an accessible area, malware can also be copied onto them by disk or over a network directly. It is imperative that all clients on a network be protected, as malware installed on one single client can compromise the entire network to the full extent of that client’s permissions.

Once malware is installed on your machine, the perpetrators can then either connect to your machine, go anywhere they want, read, delete, download or upload any file, anywhere on your machine at will, or simply wait until your computer connects out to its clients, accessing or transmitting your personal documents, banking information or other personal, private files on your computer. Some malwares also give the perpetrators the ability to delete, change or damage any part of your machine invisibly without you ever knowing. They can download, edit and modify any of your files and then put them back. Therefore, we need some software that can filter it out for us in order to protect our system.


Features:

  • Destroys malware and removes registry entries
  • Does not require a reboot to remove all traces
  • Disconnects the threat without disconnecting you
  • Generates optional report and safe copy of evidence
  • Automatically sweeps and detects INSTANTLY in the background
  • Configurable “Stealth mode” completely hides BOClean from users
  • Update automatically from a network file share
  • Protects itself from malware tampering or shutdown
  • FREE daily malware database updates from our web site
  • Update file can be shared/pushed on a server for easy maintenance
  • Optional rollback of update to an earlier version
  • Full spectrum malware coverage and protection

Add SMS ringtones on PPC with WM6

To add ringtones on PPC is very simple, just put your audio files under the My Documents–>My Ringtones directory, that’s all. But for other notification tones such as MMS, SMS and etc, it stored on other folder. The path for notifications sound folder is under Application Data–> Sounds folder. What u need to do is to drag the audio file to this folder, then u can select it under Sounds & Notifications.

PS: Due to using device memory, therefore not recommend to store too much files.

CoreTemp

CoreTemp is a compact, no fuss, small footprint program to monitor CPU temperature.
The uniqueness of it is that it shows the temperature of each individual core in each processor in your system! You can see in real time how the CPU temperature varies when you load your CPU. It’s also completely motherboard independent. Intel and AMD recently published detailed, public information about the “DTS”Digital Thermal Sensor, which provides much higher accuracy and more relevant temperature reading than the standard thermal diode sensors do.
