Secure Notepad

Secure Notepad is a Notepad replacement that is (almost) identical to the original, but offers several additional security features. In addition to saving files with the standard .txt extension, you can choose the .etxt format, which allows you to encrypt your file with a password and additional key file. Furthermore, the program includes a handy fade-out feature that automatically fades the content of a text file to plain white if the Notepad window is not active.

MSR Strider URL Tracer is a project from Microsoft Research that enables you to scan a domain name to see the third party domains that it serves content from and/or whether the site is being redirected. In addition, the tool includes a feature that lets you generate a list of common typos based on the domain name and allows you to scan and browse the list of generate names in order to spot domains that capitalize on inadvertent URL misspellings (typo-squatting). The tool was originally developed as a way for parents to spot domains that hijack popular children sites, and often serve adult content or intrusive ads to kids that are mistyping the domain name. It offers a detailed WHOIS lookup as well as an option to block the sites, so they can no longer be accessed with Internet Explorer. Strider URL Tracer can also be very useful for webmasters or site owners that want to track down typo-squatting violations. (Please note that this a research project and should be considered a work in progress) Download it   Learn More

I have had several people ask me just how am I going to replace QuickTime? If I decide to remove something from my system as with QuickTime and there is no solution I do without. Personally I feel no QuickTime Movie is worth leaving this third level plugin threat in ones machine that could allow someone to take it over without being patched.

A friend Baz Peracha recommended I check out this product, which simply adds the codecs to Media Player. I have refused for some time to install Real Audio due to the problems it has created in the past. This actually works as a great free cure to all these issues.

Anti-Spam Filter is now freeware! For Outlook or Outlook Express

SpamLiquidator's free Anti-Spam Filter is an innovative self-learning spam filtering system, offering you spam protection without deleting the important correspondence. The software maintains its own collaborative spam-tracking database, which uses the signatures of spam messages. It is different from other anti spam programs in the way that you're not the only one to "teach" it, but all of our project users contribute to it.

Upon studying many spam detection algorithms, we have come to a conclusion that only a human being is truly a hundred percent capable of discriminating spam against regular messages. Even the most complex algorithms make mistakes, and can either pass the spam through ("false negative") or, much worse, delete an important letter. They call it "false positive". The only way of generating a real spam killer is uniting all of our efforts.

How does it work? Aside from initial filters provided by our program and created by our developers, Anti-Spam Filter presents a claim submission practice, in case you have got some spam coming through. The process is ultimately simplified - to report spam and make a filtering rule created you just have to make two mouse-clicks.

The development of the Spam Liquidator project has begun in September 2002. As of February 20 2003, the project has been open to public via Internet. Our software functions are regularly being updated and supplemented. We are open for all suggestions and propositions. "Get it here"
