Filed under: Security, Utilities, Freeware, How-Tos Silly me. I figured as antivirus and antimalware protection became more sophisticated that I'd see fewer infected machines for repair. Man, was I wrong. Even my friends and family - who are fairly computer savvy and careful - have wound up in trouble. If you're at all competent with a computer, chances are you've had requests from people to fix these problems. I've heard different programs menioned (XP Antivirus, ...

Firefox only (Windows/Mac/Linux): Firefox extension Find In Tabs searches for text across all of your open Firefox tabs. It does so by adding a Find in Tabs button to the find bar that switches from the normal single-page search to a multi-tab search. When you search with Find In Tabs enabled, it provides as-you-type results with context and tab number. This one could come in handy if you're doing some heavy multi-tabbed research and you ...

Propeller, the Digg-like clone which was formerly the front page of Netscape, has undergone a redesign, moving away from Netscape color scheme and into red-lightblue-white territory. It even features a new omnipresent mascot, while traditional up-down voting is gone, replaced by ratings (currently all are 10.0 because the site just went live) which prop your story to the top. However, I believe that a site like Digg must focus its design and usability around the ...

The Chinese government has a long tradition of keeping an eye to the media in order to prevent critical messages towards the communist party, a task that has become difficult since the rise of the open and worldwide Internet. The government started attempts to control the content on their domestic network, the rise of the ‘great firewall of China’. All network traffic entering or leaving China must pass through government controlled gateways, with dramatic results: ...

Recent polls, like this, shows that former Congressman Bob Barr, now Libertarian candidate, wins 6% of the voters in November. Now this has started some speculations for what this will mean for the election. An obvious comparison is Ralph Naders candidacy in 2000. Many democrats still believe that Ralph Nader “stole” the election from Al Gore. Now Can Bob Barr “steal” the election from John McCain? That Bob Barr today a president candidate for the ...

Trend Micro, the antivirus company, has a Malware Blog where they track all the bad stuff that can happen to your computer. Although the screenshots come from Windows machines, they did have one up this week that showed the Apple Store. Sneaky (and smart) phishers are sending emails that say there is a problem with your billing, and they weren’t able to process the payment. Pretty sneaky considering there are likely a lot of people ...
