WinRAR 3.80 Beta 1



WinRAR is a powerful archive manager. It can backup your data and reduce size of email attachments, decompress RAR, ZIP and other files downloaded from Internet and create new archives in RAR and ZIP file format.

Archive file formats supported are ZIP, RAR, ACE, CAB, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, BZ2, UUE, JAR, ISO, 7Z and Z.

Change Log: Version 3.80 beta 1

1. Added support for ZIP archives containing Unicode file names
in UTF-8 format. When creating ZIP archive, WinRAR stores
names in Unicode only if they cannot be stored correctly using
the current single byte character set.

2. Added decompression support for WinZip AES encrypted ZIP archives.

3. Improved Unicode support for RAR and ZIP archive names.

4. "Ask before overwrite" and "Skip existing files" update modes
are now available in archiving dialog. They allow to specify
WinRAR behavior when updating already existing files in archive.
Unlike already available "Fresh existing files only" and
"Add and update files", these new modes ignore file date
and compare only file names.

Command line equivalents of these modes are:

a) switch -o enables "Ask before overwrite" archiving mode;

b) switch -o- enables "Skip existing files" archiving mode;

c) switch -o+ enables "Overwrite all" mode (default for archiving).

5. New "Add to context menu" option in "Profile parameters" dialog.
If this option is on, the profile name will be displayed in Explorer
context menus allowing to activate a profile from context menu.

6. New -cp switch allows to select a compression profile
in command line mode. It is supported only by GUI WinRAR.exe,
not by rar.exe.

7. New "Options" page of archiving dialog contains the group of
settings modifying the behavior of "Delete files after archiving"
option from "General" page:

a) Delete files. Delete files normally like in previous WinRAR
versions.

b) Move files to Recycle Bin. Deleted files are placed to
Recycle Bin.

Command line equivalent of this option is -dr switch.

c) Wipe files. Before deleting file data are overwritten by
zero bytes to prevent recovery of deleted files.

Command line equivalent of this option is -dw switch.

All these options have an effect only if "Delete files
after archiving" is on. You can enable any of these options
in the default compression profile to change the default
behavior of "Delete files after archiving".

8. WinRAR "Extraction path and options" dialog is now resizable.
You can use the mouse to drag its border to the desired size
and provide more space for folder tree pane. WinRAR will store
new dimensions of this dialog.

9. New "Update" SFX script command and "Update mode" group
of options in "Update" page of "Advanced SFX options" dialog.
These command and options allow to check time and implement
file time based updating;

10. SFX script "Shortcut" command and "Add shortcut..." command
in "Advanced SFX options" dialog now allow to specify
an icon file containing an icon associated with shortcut.

11. New "Wipe temporary files" option in "Settings/Security" dialog
provides more secure, though slower, way to delete temporary
WinRAR files.

12.
WinRAR and RAR display the total progress bar when unpacking
a multivolume RAR archive if all volumes are present
in the same folder.

13. WinRAR and RAR automatically expand names of environment
variables in list files. For example, a list file can contain
lines like:

%windir%\*.exe
%USERPROFILE%\Desktop

This feature is available only in Windows RAR version.

14. Added support of TAR archives with non-zero "extra field" data.

15. Added support of TAR archives, which does not contain
the end of archive entry consisting of 512 zero bytes.

16. Improved Unicode support when dragging files from WinRAR window.

17. Shift+Tab key combination can be used in main WinRAR window to
switch the input focus between interface elements (files, comment,
tree, address) in reverse order. In previous versions Shift+Tab
used the same order as Tab.

18. Corrected a possible WinRAR crash when opening truncated
UDF ISO files.

is using a visual boy advance emulator stealing?

Someone asked me an interesting question the other day about emulators...

"is using a visual boy advance emulator stealing?"

To answer this question about using visual boy advance emulator, yes it is stealing. The creator made it so that it emulates or performs like a gameboy advance, aka it is counterfeit to put it shortly. This is almost like asking "I have the keys to a car that I don't own, if I use the keys to take the car, is it stealing?"

TCP Optimizer 2 (Increases your internet speed upto 40%)

If you do not feel like reading the entire documentation below, or you simply need the tweaks NOW, without spending time in learning the meaning of all those settings, you can use the Optimizer by following these short instructions:- Choose your maximum Connection Speed from the slider bar (the maximum available bandwidth, in kilobits per second)- Choose your Network Interface, or check to Modify All Network Adapters- Pick "Optimal settings" from the radio-buttons near the bottom of the program- Click on the "Apply changes" button and rebootThe Optimizer can do all the rest for you (including a backup of the current registrysettings, so you can revert the changes if you wish). The new version of the program includes a preview of all changes after hitting the "Apply changes" button and before actually editing the Windows Registry.You can also use the Optimizer to easily apply custom values, test with different settings, and learn a bit more about tweaking and TCP/IP in general. We strongly recommend getting familiar with the settings, and learning what aspects of your connection they affect first. Also, note that some of the program tabs (Largest MTU, BDP, Latency) can be used as a learning tool without making any changes to the Windows Registry.The 3 radio buttons at the bottom of the program show the relevant "Current settings" as set in the Windows Registry, the Optimizer recommended "Optimal settings", or allow for "Custom settings" for the more advanced user to test with different values.Please see the following chapters for definitions and detailed descriptions of all options in the TCP Optimizer.Note: You should be logged in with an account with administrative privileges to be able to write to some of the Registry keys and use the program to its full potential.General Settings================This tab contains all the important tweakable TCP/IP parameters.Connection Speed (in kilobits per second) - you have to choose your maximum available bandwidth here. The Optimizer will base any "Optimal settings" recommendations on the connection speed you choose in this slider bar. Please note it is an approximation of your maximum available bandwidth, it does not have to be exact.Network Adapter selection - you should have a list of all present network interfaces in the system. When you select an adapter, using this pull-down menu, its IP address will be shown in the lower-right of this section. Note you can also choose to modify all network adapters it the same time, or tweak without modifying any of their settings.You also have the option to type a a custom MTU value (that will be used to recommend RWIN). Generally, MTU can safely be set at 1500, however some types of connections, and some routers use smaller values. It is only necessary to edit the MTU value in such special cases. For example, the maximum MTU value for Windows XP PPPoE encapsulation is 1480 (even though other PPPoE implementations can use as high as 1492).Note: In some rare cases, it is possible that your desired network device is not correctly identified by the Optimizer. That does not affect the program performance much, and you should simply choose "Modify All Network Adapters" in such cases. We'd also appreciate you contacting us with the exact device, so we can improve the program.TCP Receive Window (a.k.a. RWIN) - this buffer is the single most important factor in tweaking your TCP/IP parameters. A small RWIN value limits your maximum throughput (the server waits for acknowledgements of received packets), one much larger than needed by your connection can have a negative effect on your connection as well. Here is some history on WIN, and all the considerations in choosing an "optimal" value:Originally, when the TCP protocol was developed, there were only 16 bits in the TCP header reserved for the size of this buffer, allowing for a maximum value of 2^16 (65535, if you start counting from 0). With faster high-latency networks this value proved insufficient, and RFC 1323 introduced additional "TCP Options", allowing for larger RWIN values. It is accomplished by bit shifting, or multiplying the original unscaled RWIN value (up to 65535 bytes) in the TCP header by a scale factor, power of 2.The TCP Optimizer recommends an optimal TCP Window value considering all the following factors:- Bandwidth * Delay product based on the chosen maximum connection speed and maximum anticipated latency.- RWIN (both scaled and unscaled) multiple of MSS, for maximum optimization.- Proper RFC 1323 scaling for RWIN values larger than 65535.- largest optimal unscaled RWIN (MSS multiple) used for all RWIN values over 65535.MTU Discovery (RFC 1191, EnablePMTUDiscovery) - We recommend enabling (choosing "Yes") this setting.MTU Discovery determines whether TCP uses a fixed, default maximum transmission unit (MTU) or attempts to find the actual MTU. In some versions of Windows, if MTU Discovery is disabled the OS uses an MTU of 576 bytes for all connections to computers outside of the local subnet. If enabled, TCP attempts to discover the MTU (largest packet size) over the path to a remote host.Black Hole Detect (EnablePMTUBHDetect) - The recommended optimal setting in the TCP Optimizer is "No".Enabling this setting causes TCP to try to detect black hole routers while doing Path MTU Discovery. A black hole router does not return ICMP Destination Unreachable messages when it needs to fragment an IP datagram with the Don't Fragment bit set. TCP depends on receiving these messages to perform Path MTU Discovery. With this feature enabled, TCP tries to send segments without the Don't Fragment bit set if several retransmissions of a segment go unacknowledged. If the segment is acknowledged as a result, the MSS is decreased and the Don't Fragment bit is set in future packets on the connection. Enabling black hole tection increases the maximum number of retransmissions that are performed for a given segment. Unless you are dealing with a relatively archaic network, or running a server, this setting does not make much visible difference, and can in fact waste bandwidth if enabled.Selective ACKs (SackOpts) - the recommended setting is "Yes".This parameter controls whether or not SACK (Selective Acknowledgement) support is enabled, as specified in RFC 2018. SAC is especially important for connections using large TCP Window sizes.Max Duplicate ACKs (TcpMaxDupAcks) - range is 1-3, the recommended value is 2.This parameter determines the number of duplicate ACKs (acknowledgements) that must be received for the same sequence number of sent data before "fast retransmit" is triggered to resend the segment that has been dropped in transit.Time to Live (TTL, DefaultTTL) - recommended value is 64.This setting specifies the default time-to-live (TTL) value set in the header of outgoing IP packets. The TTL determines the maximum amount of time in seconds (and the number of hops) that an IP packet may live in the network without reaching its destination. It is effectively a limit on the number of routers that an IP packet is allowed to pass through before being discarded. It does not directly affect speed, however a value that's too small can cause packets to be unable to reach distant servers at all. A very large value, on the other hand might take too long to recognize lost packets.TCP 1323 Options (TCP1323Opts) - we recommend having only "Window Scaling" enabled.This parameter controls RFC 1323 time stamps and window-scaling options. The "Window Scaling" part allows for RWIN (TCP Window) values over 65535. Timestamps add another 12 bytes to the header of each packet, and are only necessary in connections with increased packet loss. Advanced Settings ==================This tab contains additional tweaks, that have a smaller, but still noticeable effect on TCP/IP performance. Generally, the tweaks on this page are not directly related to throughput. Some of the tweaks in this section of the Optimizer might be related only to specific aspects of networking, such as Web, or LAN browsing, hostname resolution speed, etc.Internet Explorer OptimizationBy default, the HTTP 1.1 specs allow for only 2 concurrent connections to a Web server. That means, while downloading a web page you can only get 2 files at a time. Note that a single page usually includes tens (sometimes hundreds) of images, each initiating a separate request to the server. Increasing the default to ~10 can provide a considerable visible boost in web page loading time, especially for broadband internet connections. There are two parameters in this section, MaxConnectionsPerServer, and MaxConnectionsPer1_0Server, corresponding to HTTP 1.1 and 1.0, respectively. We recommend setting both to the same number, between 4 and 10.Host Resolution Priority This section improves DNS and hostname resolution in general. It helps web pages load faster, and has negligible effect on downloads. For more information on what/how this tweak operates, check our Host Resolution Priority Tweak article. We recommend using the Optimal values (5,6,7,9). Type/Quality of Service QoS (Quality of Service) and ToS (Type of Service) have to do with support for priority traffic.

Coreldraw x3 portable

The basics of the CorelDraw interface haven't changed a bit, and that's good news: Its uncluttered, logical design makes it unusually approachable for business folks who aren't graphics mavens. Also, drawing-software newbies will benefit from a new Hints window offering context-sensitive guidance as you work. Many of the application's changes are intelligent tweaks that enhance longstanding tools. For instance, Fit Text to Path--which lets you perform such tricks as wrapping a logo around a curve--now allows you to drag type interactively into the perfect position. More than ever, CorelDraw can double as a desktop-publishing program, thanks to such text-wrangling additions as bullets, drop caps, and support for multiple columns. CorelDraw's new Smart Fill tool, like Illustrator CS2's Live Paint, is clever enough to flood a region with color even when that space is actually the intersection of two overlapping objects. Smart Fill does not match Live Paint's ability to keep a region filled even when you reshape the objects that created it, but in many ways it's more practical, since you can apply both Smart Fill and all of CoreDraw's other effects, such as blends, bevels, and so on, to the same item. This isn't true of Illustrator's similar feature. Click here to view full-size image. Illustration: Harry Campbell In earlier CorelDraw editions, you needed to use a separate utility to trace bitmapped pictures into line drawings; in X3, tracing is built into CorelDraw itself. I achieved excellent results with a little experimentation, though I found this tool unexpectedly persnickety. For example, the one-click Quick Trace option sometimes ignored large portions of images. Although CorelDraw still touts itself as a suite, its X3 incarnation comes with just one major complementary application, the Photo-Paint image editor. Photo-Paint's most notable improvement is the Image Adjustment Lab, an extremely handy tool (also available within the CorelDraw app itself) that lets you use sliders to fiddle with attributes such as highlights and shadows, and set aside multiple variants of an image until you're satisfied.

ESET NOD32 AntiVirus v 3.0.621 (Normal + Business)

Comprehensive ProtectionRunning separate applications for viruses, hackers, adware, and spyware can slow your PC, be difficult to manage, and provide questionable protection. Beware of large, bloated internet security suites that consume hundreds of megabytes on your PC. These typically exist because vendors have acquired products and 'bundled' them together. In contrast, ESET NOD32 was designed from the core as a single, highly-optimized engine that works as a unified Anti-Threat system to protect against a broad spectrum of malware. Viruses, worms, spyware, and other malicious attacks, which are constantly evolving. ESET NOD32 utilizes patent-pending ThreatSense® Technology to detect tomorrow's threats in real-time, by analyzing code execution for malicious intent - keeping you ahead of the malware-writers.Minimal Performance ImpactNOD32 conserves resources in memory and on disk, leaving more for your critical applications. The installer is just 11 MB and the application consumes an average 23 MB in memory (this fluctuates with changes to the detection technology). ThreatSense updates, which include heuristics logic and signatures, are usually between 20 kB and 50 kB. Switch to NOD32 and be more productive.Fastest ScanningGreat protection doesn't have to slow down your computer. Written largely in assembly language, NOD32 continually wins awards for the fastest performance of any antivirus application, on average 3 to 34 times faster than the competition (source: Virus Bulletin). Switch to NOD32 and upgrade your computer's performance.Easy to ManageProgram and database updates are automatically performed behind the scenes. If you're an individual or home office user you can just 'install it and forget it.' Businesses and organizations with large distributed networks can use the powerful Remote Administrator to centrally deploy, install, monitor and manage thousands of NOD32 workstations and servers. Get the best protection with the smallest footprint and fastest performance. NOD32 offers multiple layers of protection for your organization, at the desktop, file server and mail gateway. Find out which solution is best for you.Proactive Real-Time DetectionThe best security is proactive. Malware protection must be real-time at the point of impact. Every minute one waits for a virus signature update creates a window of vulnerability that could have devastating consequences. ESET NOD32's ThreatSense® Technology closes the window of vulnerability left open by other reactive , signature-based responses.

Windows 95


Windows 95: is a consumer-oriented graphical user interface-based operating system. It was released on August 24, 1995 by Microsoft, and was a significant progression from the company's previous Windows products. During development it was referred to as Windows 4.0 or by the internal codename Chicago. Windows 95 was intended to integrate Microsoft's formerly separate MS-DOS and Windows products and includes an enhanced version of DOS, often referred to as MS-DOS 7.0. It features significant improvements over its predecessor, Windows 3.1, most visibly the graphical user interface (GUI) whose basic format and structure is still used in later versions such as Windows Vista. There were also large changes made to the underlying workings, including support for 255-character mixed-case long filenames and preemptively multitasked protected-mode 32-bit applications. Whereas its predecessors are optional "operating environments" requiring the MS-DOS operating system (usually available separately), Windows 95 is a consolidated operating system, which was a significant marketing change. User interface: In the marketplace, Windows 95 was an unqualified success, and within a year or two of its release had become the most successful operating system ever produced. It also had the effect of driving other major players in the DOS-compatible operating system out of business, something which would later be used in court against Microsoft. Internet Explorer 4.0 came with an optional shell update known as Windows Desktop Update that gave Windows 95 (and NT 4.0) a user interface and several updated shell features that would become the graphical user interface of Windows 98. The last release of Windows 95, that is, OEM Service Release 2.5 (Version 4.00.950C) includes IE4 on the Setup CD (but not in slipstreamed form) and installs it after Windows 95's initial setup and first boot is complete. Only the 4.x series of the browser contained the shell update, so those that wanted the new shell had to install IE4 with the desktop update before installing a newer version of Internet Explorer. Windows 95 marked the introduction of the Start button and taskbar to Microsoft's GUI, both of which have remained fixtures of all subsequent versions of Windows, although the word "Start" was dropped from the button in Windows Vista, with the company preferring to label the button with the Windows logo ("Start" is still present as a tooltip and in the classic UI mode). Release: Prior to the official release, the American public was given a chance to preview Windows 95 in the Windows 95 Preview Program. For US$19.95, users were sent a set of 3?" floppy diskettes that would install Windows 95 either as an upgrade to Windows 3.1x or as a fresh install on a clean computer. Users who bought into the program were also given a free preview of The Microsoft Network (MSN, currently known as Windows Live), the online service that Microsoft was planning to launch with Windows 95, which allowed users to access the Internet and its services via PPP. The preview versions expired in November 1995, after which the user would have to purchase their own copy of the final version of Windows 95. Windows 95 was released with great fanfare, including a commercial featuring the Rolling Stones song "Start Me Up" (a reference to the Start button).[2] It was widely reported that Microsoft paid the Rolling Stones between $8 and $14 million for the use of the song (from the 1981 album Tattoo You) in the '95 advertising campaign. According to sources at Microsoft, however, this was just a rumor spread by the Stones to increase their market value, and Microsoft actually paid a fraction of that amount.[3] A 30 minute promotional video, labeled a "cyber sitcom", featuring Jennifer Aniston and Matthew Perry, was also released to showcase the features of Windows 95. Microsoft's 3 million dollar advertising campaign featured stories of people waiting in line outside stores to get a copy. In the UK, the largest computer chain PC World received a large number of oversized Windows 95 boxes, posters and point of sale material, and many branches opened at midnight to sell the first copies of the product, although these customers were far fewer in number than publicity had suggested. In New York City, the Empire State Building was lit to match the colors of the Windows logo. In Toronto, a 300-foot banner was hung from the top of the CN Tower. Copies of The Times were available for free in the UK where Microsoft paid for 1.5 million issues (twice the daily circulation at the time). System requirements Official system requirements were an Intel 80386 DX CPU of any speed, 4 MB of system RAM, and 50 MB of hard drive space. These minimal claims were made in order to maximize the available market of Windows 3.1 converts. This configuration was distinctly suboptimal for any productive use on anything but single tasking dedicated workstations due to the heavy reliance on virtual memory. Also, in some cases, if any networking or similar components were installed the system would refuse to boot with 4 megabytes of RAM. It was possible to run Windows 95 on a 386 SX but this led to even less acceptable performance due to its 16-bit external data bus. To achieve optimal performance, Microsoft recommends an Intel 80486 or compatible microprocessor with at least 8 MB of RAM.[6] Windows 95 was superseded by Windows 98 and could still be directly upgraded by both Windows 2000[7] and Windows Me. On December 31, 2001, Microsoft ended its support for Windows 95, making it an "obsolete" product according to the Microsoft Lifecycle Policy.[8] Even though support for Windows 95 has ended, the software still remains in use on some home computers because of budget issues, a lack of knowledge or lack of desire to upgrade to newer editions of Windows. Another main reason is that a computer purchased around the era of Windows 95's introduction is unlikely to meet the hardware requirements of Windows XP and Vista, and some do not wish to or are not able to buy a new computer or update their existing one. In addition, some video game enthusiasts choose to use Windows 95 for their legacy system to play old DOS games, although some other versions of Windows such as Windows 98 can also be used for this purpose. Windows 95 has been released on both floppy disks and on CD-ROM, as some computer systems at the time did not include a CD-ROM drive. The floppy disk version of Windows 95 came on 13 DMF formatted floppy disks, excluding additional software that some releases might have featured, such as Internet Explorer. Microsoft Plus! for Windows 95 was also available on floppy disks.
