WinRAR 3.8 Compression Software


WinRAR is a powerful compression tool with many integrated additional functions to help you organize your compressed archives. WinRAR puts you ahead of the crowd when it comes to compression. By consistently creating smaller archives, WinRAR is often faster than the competition. This will save you disc space, transmission costs AND valuable working time as well. WinRAR supports all popular compression formats (RAR, ZIP, CAB, ARJ, LZH, ACE, TAR, GZip, UUE, ISO, BZIP2, Z and 7-Zip).

WinRAR is ideal for multimedia files. WinRAR automatically recognizes and selects the best compression method. The special compression algorithm compresses multimedia files, executables and object libraries particularly well.

  • WinRAR allows you to split archives into separate volumes easily, making it possible to save them on several disks for example.
  • WinRAR is also ideal, if you are sending data through the web. Its 128 bit password encryption and its authenticated signature technology will give you the peace of mind you have been looking for.
  • WinRAR is shareware, meaning you have the chance to thoroughly test it. The program can be used absolutely free of charge for 40 days!
  • WinRAR licenses are valid for all available language and platform versions. If you have purchased several licenses, you can even mix versions to meet your own personal needs.
  • WinRAR gives you all future UPDATES for FREE! Not like the competition that will make you pay again every one or two years.
  • Use recovery volumes to reconstruct missing and damaged parts in multivolume archives

ZoneAlarm Extreme Security


ZoneAlarm Extreme Security, a new all-in-one premium software suite that combines core technologies with comprehensive browser security to give consumers unrivaled protection against sophisticated computer and Web attacks. ZoneAlarm Extreme Security also includes secure online backup and system maintenance tools, providing online consumers with the ultimate protection for their home computers.

The multiple security layers included in the new ZoneAlarm Extreme Security suite provide critical protection against computer and Web-based attacks that by-pass traditional security suites. First introduced with ZoneAlarm ForceField™, the virtualized browser technology offers consumers unparalleled protection against new and constantly evolving online threats. The Internet Explorer 7 browser flaw, for example, enabled hackers to infect existing Web sites or set-up rogue ones, which then exposed users to identity-stealing malware. Similarly, the Waledac botnet recently ran a targeted "campaign" around Valentine's Day, soliciting people with phony holiday themed emails and greeting cards. When users clicked through to a Web site to receive their message, malicious software was silently and automatically downloaded to their computer enabling hackers to steal credit card numbers or online passwords. In both of these examples and many others, only Check Point's ZoneAlarm security product line successfully defended these attacks the first moment they occurred.

Built on the award-winning technologies found in ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite and ZoneAlarm ForceField, ZoneAlarm Extreme Security includes:

  • The most advanced firewall along with antivirus, anti-spam, anti-spyware and a comprehensive set of additional top-rated PC defenses
  • ZoneAlarm ForceField, the state-of-the-art virtualized browser security solution, enabling users to bank, shop and surf safely online
  • Online backup tools provide data security by safeguarding the files and data consumers care about most, protecting them from loss, theft, accidental deletion or disk failure
  • Optional private-key encryption further strengthens data security by protecting important documents should the storage server ever be compromised
  • PC tune-up and system maintenance tools that automatically clean, organize and streamline the system

Agnitum Outpost Network Security


Outpost Network Security is specially designed to help small and medium business (SMB) organizations protect against modern security challenges and address the problem of productivity waste; it safeguards local networks against external attacks and internal sabotage, keeps endpoints clean of malware, prevents disclosure of inside information, policies employee Internet access and shifts the task of deploying and managing protection away from the busy workforce.

Key Benefits:
No security incidents
Information is the most prized asset within an organization. Outpost ensures the integrity of your data by offering a number of robust security mechanisms:

Antivirus to ensure malware-free environment
The VB100-certified engine combining virus and spyware defense is constantly on guard against malicious software arising internally (i.e. received as an email attachment) or acquired externally (i.e. spreading via an infected USB flash drive). The threat is instantly neutralized before it can harm other member machines. On-demand remote and centralized virus scans can be initiated on select endpoints at any time.

Bidirectional firewall to bolster LAN connectivity
The award winning firewall technology ensures safety and continuity of your company's network operations. Encompassing a unique intrusion detection system to shield traffic against eavesdropping, packet- and application-level filtering to block unwanted or malicious connections, embedded code protection to shore up vulnerable web elements, Outpost Network Security is the ultimate deterrent to all manner of data compromises and hacker attacks.

USB access lockdown to guard company's digital assets
Your internal data is at risk of being copied and extracted from the organization. Outpost Network Security blocks access to mass storage USB devices on target hosts, preventing unauthorized leak of company data and malware propagation from connecting flash memory drives.

Effortless rollout and hands-free updates
Centralized deployment to minimize IT workload
With intuitive tools that map organization's network domain structure, mass deployment can be carried out almost in no time.

Online and offline updates to keep protection current
Security updates for intranet-connected machines are deployed daily from a single network repository, such as Agnitum Server, a local updates server or a local folder with updated bases.

Centralized management and setup
Group segmentation for more targeted protection
Connected computers can be broken out into multiple groups with each group having its own security properties. This helps to better manage and target protection recipients, as well as assign tougher policies for more susceptible groups (i.e. a group of mobile users that connect to 3rd party networks on the go).

Remote configuration for easy, hands-on management
In the new version of Outpost Network Security, interconnected computers can be managed from any member workstation through a universal management console. Administrators can designate custom Internet access policies and specify the blacklisted URL addresses that will be inaccessible across the network.

Safe data repository to prevent data disclosure
Outpost's unique information protection capability lets IT staffers define character strings - like company-specific account numbers or insurance policy information - and lock that information down so that it can never be transmitted off the workstation.

Better visibility into remote events
Real-time control of endpoint activity for total transparency
Once your network is up and running, it's hard to control events that are taking place on individual machines. Outpost deals with this limitation by offering real-time monitoring of system and network activity for any remote host. With this handy tool, administrators can see what sites are being accessed or what programs are currently active on any computer on the network. This also enables administrators to quickly edit existing access policies for the target hosts.

Remote logging system for better understanding past activity
Outpost's remote logger shows history of all past events occurring on remote machines, enabling IT managers to quickly find a problem and correct it without leaving their desks.

Lightweight protection that stays on all the time
Faster, resource-friendly operation for smoother protection with SmartScan 3
Thanks to numerous optimizations and unique performance-boosting technologies, client Outpost protection is performed in the background without taking up vital system resources. Security checks complete up to ten times faster than some of the competition.

Unauthorized termination prevention to guarantee continuity of protection
Workstations' Outpost protection cannot be switched off by targeted termination attacks, meaning your networked clients are protected 24/7.

Universal compatibility
Modern hardware and software support for broader deployment
Outpost Network Security protection can be installed on any recent Windows platform, simplifying deployment and eliminating learning overhead. Outpost protection can be deployed on company's gateway PC that is already running 3d-party security products such as antivirus or anti-spam software.


Firewall Protection Software


Outpost Firewall Pro 2009 provides a superior arsenal of defense against PC infiltration. Outpost ensures your online security with solid protection against all Internet-borne threats. Given the complexity and diversity of today's threats, users need protection that controls the main propagation route - their Internet connection. Zero-day threats, one of the newest and most difficult to detect, are becoming more frequent, and an appropriate response must be in place for users to have adequate security when they go online. Even simple web browsing is these days fraught with danger from drive-by infections and inadvertent disclosure of personal information.

Outpost Firewall Pro provides a superior arsenal of defense against PC infiltration. Outpost ensures your online security with solid protection against all Internet-borne threats. While there are plenty of all-in-one security solutions that purport to offer total protection, in reality they all depend on a firewall to deliver the first level of defense against the spread of malware and data theft. Today's sophisticated, hard-to-detect malicious programs cannot be stopped with anti-virus alone; proactive security tools are needed to monitor program behavior and alert users to suspicious, unauthorized or explicitly malicious activity before it can do damage. As web-borne attacks now constitute the majority of malware attacks, a solution that's specifically designed to counter online threats is essential.

Outpost Firewall Pro is just such a tool. It stops malware and hacker attacks before they can activate, by monitoring and controlling Internet access at all times. What's more, it does most of its work automatically, so users are not interrupted while they're working or playing on the web. Outpost Firewall Pro is award-winning protection that's lightweight, customizable, reliable, and easy to use; it's what every computer deserves, so keep reading to find out more about how Outpost provides the most robust security protection possible for users in today's world of cyberthreats.

What you get:

  • Advanced firewall for secure connections
  • Antispyware to keep your PC spyware-free
  • Host protection to block zero-day threats
  • Web control to protect your PC from web-borne threats

Safety on the Internet
The two-way firewall stops inappropriate or malicious access to your computer from both internal (LAN) and external (Internet) sources. As a frontline defense, it prevents malware from spreading or "phoning home", providing protection against hackers, loss of personal data, unknown malware, and unauthorized program activity.


Preemptive threat protection
Outpost's Host Protection module monitors how programs interact to protect your system against high-level security breaches and has passed all well-known leaktests to prevent unauthorized transmission of information from your PC.


No more spyware!
Eliminate spyware with Outpost's dedicated antispyware utility. Regular updates and always-on monitoring ensure that spyware cannot activate and cause damage to your data or divert your applications.


Secure web surfing
The versatile Web Control module safeguards you against the Internet's darker side. It steers you away from websites infected with drive-by downloads, prevents the inadvertent disclosure of personal information, limits your exposure to potentially unsafe web properties, and keeps your identity private.


Bulletproof self-defense
Outpost cannot be deactivated by targeted attacks, ensuring continuity of protection.


Performance-driven operation
No matter what you do on an Outpost-protected computer, it will always feel like it's brand new because the program uses so few system resources.

Backup and Restore Vista OEM Activation License

I am sure some of us here have bought a new laptop
or desktop computer recently that came with Windows Vista pre-loaded. That’s good in a way because we have a genuine license and don’t need to use any cracks which would then get deactivated after installing some hotfix. I bought an Acer laptop late last year and it came with Vista Business plus a lot of other Acer software (LaunchManager, eSetting, eRecovery, ePower, eFramework, eDataSecurity) that made the laptop slow. Honestly I don’t need any of those and uninstalling it from Control Panel would still leave traces. I know I can use ccleaner or similar software to clean it up but I’d prefer to install a clean copy of Vista and then only install other third party software that I need. This way I can keep my laptop clean from useless software.
I can easily find and download an OEM Vista installation DVD from Rapidshare or Torrent, then use the product key from the license sticker to activate but there is a limit to activate the key. Once you’ve gone over the limit, you’ll have to call Microsoft to get a replacement. Recently I just got to know that computer came with Vista pre-installed will have a different product key from the license sticker. That is the generic OEM key and can only be used when we do a full restore but cannot be used to activate a clean Vista installation. Thanks to thewisecrab, I now know of a way to activate a clean Vista installation using the OEM generic product key. Of course this method is meant for ONLY about reinstalling Vista on a system that you purchased, WITH A VISTA LICENSE and not on a computer without a Vista license.
ABR is a tool that can backup and restore Windows Vista activation for systems that are pre-installed from the factory by an OEM, allowing you to reinstall the system without having to call Microsoft. It saves the activation to a file and allows you to restore it once you’ve done a clean install. ABR works with Vista SP1, and on both 32-bit and 64-bit versions of Vista.
To backup and restore your Vista OEM license using ABR:

  • 1. Download and unzip
  • 2. Run “activation_backup.exe”
  • 3. Save the backup files somewhere safe
  • 4. Reinstall Vista
  • 5. Restore activation by running “activation_restore.exe”
  • ABR can only be used to install the same version of Vista you have the original OEM license for. For example, if your computer came pre-installed with Vista Home Premium, you can only reinstall with Home Premium. You can, however, switch between 32-bit and 64-bit. This tool only supports Vista and doesn’t work on XP or Windows 7.
