Features of System Mechanic

Recently i came across some crappy virus that infects all executable files in my flash drive, then creates a hidden autorun.inf file at the root of the pendrive. Each time I hook the USB drive to my friends PC thus getting infected.

Its fairly easy to stop Windows from executing instructions found in autorun.inf using registry tricks. But seriously many people do love the autorun feature.

Well we can still let Windows continue processing autorun.inf file for CD or DVD and also protect the computer from USB flash drive autorun.inf using a USB firewall. Here is a USB firewall software that blocks unwanted stuffs from your USB drive.

One of the most popular Linux Distros Ubuntu, gets the latest release numbered 8.04 and code named “Hardy Heron,” available for download and upgrading. Lots of cool features like, revamped user interface, new version of Xorg , hot-switching of display, enhanced default photo manager, better default video player and tons of other great features.

Ubuntu 8.04 is a free download for any system with a 32- or 64-bit Intel or AMD processor, but you can also request to have free CDs shipped to you. Only thing I have to do, is wait for a long time for the download to complete. For those who have ultra fast connections, grab the download link below.

Folks here at TT really love antivirus especially if they are free! Recently many security companies were giving away free license versions or their flagship antivirus applications. Yet still many people love AVG Antivrus free edition to the core. It was 2 months ago Grisoft updated there free antivirus to version 7.5 and today they finally kick start with the AVG Anti-Virus Free 8.0.

The new version is a must have because of the new anti-virus and anti-spyware engine. It surely isn’t a replacement for my favorite Kaseprsky Internet Security, still it gives basic protection against viruses and spyware.

Apple wants you to think that you’ll need either an iPod or iPhone to run iTunes. But that’s completely untrue because there are many freeware applications lets you sync music to different mp3 players using your beloved iTunes. Question is why people would use iTunes for there mp3 players if the same syncing can be done with different applications you can easily do that.

I got really fascinated with Mac applications recently after rigging my Hackintosh setup @ Leopard on my PC. Great thing about Macs is the easiness and the great user interface that streamlines your work. People misunderstands Macs as grossly overpriced fanboy stuffs, but after using Macs you’ll understand they are cheaper in the long run. Shoot me for being a fanboy, I don’t care. I still don’t own a Mac, but I’m saving hard enough so that when holiday season comes I can gift myself with a Macbook Pro.
