Today Only: Free Zemana AntiLogger License for EVERYONE

I personally think that keylogger is the most scariest threat. Imagine all your passwords being captured and the person who installed the keylogger is able to access all your password protected websites such as your emails, paypal, online banking and etc. One of the most effective method to counter keylogger is by using Zemana AntiLogger.

Zemana AntiLogger is one of the security products that I’ve recommended and will continue to recommend to everyone. The last time I tested Zemana AntiLogger and it was able to block virtually ALL keylogging, webcam capture and screenshot capture methods from different trojans. A year has gone by and again I’ve tested Zemana AntiLogger with 2 keyloggers (one of it uses rootkit method and the other advertises that it is completely invisible bypassing antivirus and firewall) and 1 trojan crypted with incognito which by bypassed many antivirus and internet security products. Zemana AntiLogger was able to detect injection on both of the keyloggers and the trojan while successfully blocking the installation of those dangerous files.

Zemana has collaborated with Softpedia to offer everyone FREE license for Zemana AntiLogger ONLY FOR TODAY. Hurry and grab your license as soon as possible.

1. Go to this page http://www.zemana.com/softpedia/
2. Click the FREE Full Version Download Now button to download the installer AntiLogger_SOFTPEDIA_1.9.2.185.exe
3. Install and reboot your computer
4. Activate the program by following the on-screen instructions.

Zemana AntiLogger is easy to use. Just install and let it protect your computer. It is made to protect your computer real-time without relying on virus signatures so you won’t find any Scan button. Most if not all injections are threats, so if you get such warnings, make sure you block them first.

I believe the installer that is custom built for Softpedia which has the license number integrated to activate the program. I am not sure whether is it still possible to continue activate the license using the custom installer when this promo is expired. If the activation is limited to only today, that means if we reformat our hard drive
we wouldn’t be able to use Zemana AntiLogger for free anymore. I’ve did some tracing and found that the activated license information is stored in C:\Program Files\AntiLogger\config.cfg. You can backup the config.cfg and restore it at a later time IF the online activation blocks the SOFTPEDIA-OEM-12809 license number. If you starting to think about piracy using the config.cfg, you will not succeed because the license is hardware dependent and if you transfer the config.cfg on another computer, it won’t work.

One thing I noticed about Zemana AntiLogger is it doesn’t aggressively checks the current process for threats. One example is, I am using Input Director to share keyboard and mouse between computers and it took a while before Zemana found out that Input Director is capturing the screen. Not to worry because I’ve tried turning off Zemana and then install a keylogger that auto uploads captured data but I’ve waited 30 minutes and still didn’t receive any captured data. I assume that although Zemana AntiLogger haven’t detect the threat, but it can block sensitive data from being transferred.
You can install and run Zemana AntiLogger together with your antivirus. Check here for a list of compatible security products. You have no idea how many undetectable threats out there today and relying solely on just antivirus itself is not enough to keep your personal data safe. Go tell your friends and families about this promotion.

Update: Zemana AntiLogger is only compatible with Windows XP with Service Pack 2 or higher, Vista and 7 32 bit ONLY. AntiLogger is not available for 64-bit Windows.

Comparing CPU Speed and Performance from Benchmarks Reports

2 years ago I moved my website from WebhostingBuzz to a dedicated server in SoftLayer and has been using it until today. The server was considered quite powerful then and luckily it has been able to support this blog and forum without giving any major downtime. There are still times when this website gets a surge of visitors and caused the server to crash. Here are my current dedicated hardware specification. Single processor quad core Intel Xeon X3220, 8GB DDR2 RAM, 100Mbps uplink, 2 x 73GB SA-SCSI 15K RPM hard drives WITHOUT RAID and I am paying a whopping $349 every month for the past 2 years.

Recently I found out that the monthly price for X3220 and X3230 is the same except there is an additional one time $49 setup fee. I figured that the X3230 should be faster than the X3220, so I went ahead and ordered the upgrade which was performed last weekend. I didn’t really know what are the differences because I never really performed any benchmark.
Sometimes I do felt like I am paying too much for the server rental in SoftLayer so I searched around and I finally found a datacenter that was offering a much better price with a more powerful server compared to SoftLayer.

My current SoftLayer dedicated server specification:

CPU: Intel Xeon 3230 4×2.66GHz
Memory: 8GB DDR2 RAM
Hard Drive: 2 x 73GB SA-SCSI 15K RPM without RAID
Bandwidth: 2000GB (100Mbps uplink)
Annual Price: $4212

My upcoming new NetDepot dedicated server specification:

CPU: Dual Intel Xeon E5520 Nehalem 8×2.26GHz
Memory: 12GB DDR3 RAM
Hard Drive: 2 x 146GB SA-SCSI 15K RPM with RAID 1
Bandwidth: 3000GB (100Mbps uplink)
First year Annual Price: $3590.2
Second Year Onwards: $1771.2

As you can see I am getting a way more powerful processor with an increased of memory and also RAID 1 for hard drive mirroring. The best part is the price that I get from NetDepot is much cheaper than SoftLayer. The first year price is a bit higher compared to the second year onwards because of the “buydown” option where I pay for the upgrades once and never had to pay for it again. The server migration will be done somewhere end of this month to early of March and the whole process should be transparent.
Anyway, I wanted to share on how to compare CPU speeds and performance based on benchmark reports. Like I said earlier, I didn’t know what are the difference between a X3220 and X3230 or X3230 vs E5520 in numbers so these reports would really help.
1. PassMark CPU Benchmark Charts

PassMark Software has delved into the thousands of benchmark results that PerformanceTest users have posted to its web site and produced five Intel vs AMD CPU charts to help compare the relative speeds of the different processors. Included in this list are CPUs designed for servers and workstations (Intel Xeon and AMD Opteron processors), desktop CPUs (Intel Core2 Quad, Intel Core i7, Intel Core2 Extreme and AMD Phenom II processors), in addition to mobile CPUs.

2. frybench

Frybench is an open public benchmark based on RandomControl’s flagship product, fryrender, to which anyone could submit performance measurements. Fryrender’s core doesn’t let a single CPU cycle be wasted. Its routines have been written to be cache efficient, and to take the maximum advantage possible of the new multi-threading capabilities present in modern CPU architectures.  

3. Futuremark Benchmark Results

Futuremark has public benchmark results but the search form makes it hard to find for the CPU score that you’re looking for. You can search for what kind of processor such as Intel Core 2 Quad but can’t search for the exact processor number such as Q6600, Q6700 or E5520. So far I could only find this 3 sites that are offering up to date CPU benchmark reports. If you know any, do let me know so I can add it to the list.
