In addition to instant messaging features similar to those offered by ICQ, it also offers (on Microsoft Windows) many unique features such as: IMVironments (customizing the look of Instant Message windows), address-book integration and Custom Status Messages. It was also the first major IM client to feature BUZZing and music-status. Another recently added feature is customized avatars.

Spybot-S&D 1.5.1.14 RC1
Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a relatively new kind of threat not yet covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behavior to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven't intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been "hijacked" (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don't see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there's no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer. SpyBot-S&D allows you to exclude selected cookies, programs or extensions from being reported, allowing you to prevent false positive messages for items that you dont want to be alerted of every time. It can even scan your download directory for files that have been downloaded, but not yet installed, allowing you to detect unwanted programs before you even install them. SpyBot produces a detailed and easy to understand report before it deletes any files and allows you to deselect any item that you do not want to be processed. In addition, a recovery feature allows you to restore your settings if needed.

Hotmail Gets Storage Limit Bump, Other Upgrades
Microsoft announced today that Hotmail would undergo some major upgrades over the next several weeks that should make the service more attractive to webmail users. The most notable change is that the company is bumping the storage limit for Hotmail from 2GB (for free account users) to 5GB, and from 4GB to 10GB for paid users. This brings Hotmail's storage limit above that offered by Google—which remains at 2.8GB for free accounts and 8.8GB for the lowest tier of paid accounts.
That's not the only upgrade the webmail service is getting. Hotmail program manager Ellie Powers-Boyle wrote on the Windows Live Blog that the team has begun adding features that the "more advanced" users have been asking for. Some of the more general upgrades include performance and quality of service enhancements and an increase to the amount of time junk mail and deleted items are kept on the server.

Comodo Memory Guardian Beta v1
Comodo Memory Gurdian is a buffer overflow detecion and protection tool which provides the ultimate defense against one of the most serious and common attack types on the Internet.
What is a Buffer Overflow attack?
...excerpt from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buffer_overflow
In computer security and programming, a buffer overflow, or buffer overrun, is a programming error which may result in a memory access exception and program termination, or in the event of the user being malicious, a possible breach of system security.
A buffer overflow is an anomalous condition where a process attempts to store data beyond the boundaries of a fixed-length buffer. The result is that the extra data overwrites adjacent memory locations. The overwritten data may include other buffers, variables and program flow data and may cause a process to crash or produce incorrect results. They can be triggered by inputs specifically designed to execute malicious code or to make the program operate in an unintended way. As such, buffer overflows cause many software vulnerabilities and form the basis of many exploits. Sufficient bounds checking by either the programmer or the compiler can prevent buffer overflows."
Features :
* Detection of Buffer Overflows which occur in the STACK memory,
* Detection of Buffer Overflows which occur in the HEAP memory,
* Detection of ret2libc attacks,
* Full 32 bit and 64 bit Support,

Zoom Player WMV Pro/Pro/Standard 5.50 Beta 1
Zoom Player Professional is a robust Media and DVD Front-End Player
Zoom Player is a robust Media and DVD Front-End Player designed to be simple at first glance while being remarkably flexible and dynamic when used to its full potential. Zoom Player works in two modes.
A Media mode which can play any file supported by DirectShow (any file which plays in MediaPlayer) and a DVD mode which uses pre-installed DirectShow DVD filters to play DVD content. It supersedes media player in all it`s functions and provides several important functions that media player lacks. Zoom Player provides special zooming functions to improve TV-Output quality by eliminating overscan.
You will notice that there are two versions of Zoom Player (Professional and Standard). The difference is simple, the Standard version is free for non-commercial use and is limited to file playback. The Professional is a trial version with DVD Front-End Capabilities and requires registration.
The professional trial version is fully functional and allows you to test every feature prior to registration.
WHAT'S NEW IN VERSION 5.5 Beta 1:
* Zoom Player can now communicate with uTorrent's Web UI interface in order to display download progress within the Media Library and File Browsing fullscreen navigation interfaces. This feature is accessible under "Adv. Options / Interface / On Screen Display / Fullscreen Navigation / File Tracker". Press the "?" button on this page for additional information.
* Zoom Player can now keep track with eMule's temporary files directory in order to display download progress within the Media Library and File Browsing fullscreen navigation interfaces. This feature is accessible under "Adv. Options / Interface / On Screen Display / Fullscreen Navigation / File Tracker". Press the "?" button on this page for additional information.
* New "Download Manager" navigation interface (Ctrl+"J"), allowing you to get an overview of your currently downloading files (compatible with eMule and uTorrent).
* The Scene Cut editor has been simplified and enhanced. The Scene cut editor no longer requires you to click on the save button, saving is done automatically now. A new edit button allows you to edit entries without having to remove an old entry first. Lastly, the scene cut interface layout has been updated to make it simpler to use.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / Video / Aspect Ratio) instructing Zoom Player "Derived" Aspect Ratio mode to Automatically Adjust (fix) the Aspect Ratio for badly encoded content. This would convert 4:3 content encoded as 720x480 to display as 720x540, 720x576 to 768x576, 352x240 to 352x264, 352x288 to 384x288, etc... Badly encoded 16:9 content is also adjusted in a similar fashion. This setting also fixes small aspect ratio inaccuracies caused by a requirement made by video encoders for the video pixel width or height to be dividable by 16 (or 8 or 4).
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface / On Screen Display / Fullscreen Navigation) allowing you to skip the "Library Filter Mode" page. With this setting enabled, navigating left on the media library category list will go straight to the Main navigation menu.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / Interface) allowing you to disable the delete key from erasing the currently playing file.
* New Setting (Adv. Options / System / Paths) allowing you to select the Frame Capture (screenshot) format. BMP, PNG and JPEG are supported.
* The Zoom Player function selection dialog is now split into three categories: Content, Interface and Control. The function list is also sorted, making functions easier to find.
* New "IconScale" parmeter for the "ListData" navigation skin-script command, allowing you to set the size of list line icons relative to the size of the line height.
* New "ProgressColor" parameter for the "ColorData" navigation Skin-script command, allowing you to select which color will be used when displaying download progress within the Media Library, File Browsing and Download Manager fullscreen navigation interfaces.
* New "PathColor" parameter for the "ColorData" navigation skin-script command, allowing you to select which color will be used for the path text within the Media Library, File Browsing and Download Manager fullscreen navigation interfaces.
* New "PathOutline" parameter for the "ColorData" navigation skin-script command, allowing you to select which outline color will be used for the path text within the Media Library, File Browsing and Download Manager fullscreen navigation interfaces.
* New "PathExtraColor" parameter for the "ColorData" navigation skin-script command, allowing you to select which outline color will be used for the extra path text within the Media Library, File Browsing and Download Manager fullscreen navigation interfaces.
* New "PathExtraOutline" parameter for the "ColorData" navigation skin-script command, allowing you to select which outline color will be used for the path extra text within the Media Library, File Browsing and Download Manager fullscreen navigation interfaces.
* New "ConfirmColor" parameter for the "ColorData" navigation skin-script command, allowing you to select which color will be used for the confirmation fullscreen navigation interface.
* New "ConfirmOutline" parameter for the "ColorData" navigation skin-script command, allowing you to select which outline color will be used for the confirmation fullscreen navigation interface.
* New Vista specific feature allowing you to make the entire Zoom Player window semi-transparent. This also requires that you use a video renderer that would work (Haali's/VMR9/EVR) and that VISTA Aero is enabled. To use: Alt+Ctrl+F4 = Fully visible window / Alt+Ctrl+F5 = 80% visiblity / Alt+Ctrl+F6 = 60% visiblity / Alt+Ctrl+F7 = 40% visiblity. You can also specify exact transparency values using the new "exTransWin" extended function.
* New "exTransWin" extended function, allowing you to specify a transparency value (1-255) for the Zoom Player window. This function requires Windows VISTA with Aero enabled.
* The default Audio mode skin now has a wider volume bar and includes a new button that opens the statio manager.
* The Control Bar and OSD Pop-ups are now accessible even when the player window is set to "Stay on Top".
* Pressing stop twice was set to resume playback from the position prior to the stop function being called. This wasn't too clear so now a "Resume" OSD message pops up.
* Newly supported file extensions: M4B, HDMOV.
* The Navigation interfaces should work slightly faster, especially in situations where more complex navigation skins are used (skins with large transparency effects).
* The skin selection interface behavior has been changed slightly. In order to apply a custom tint, you must now click the Apply Tint button.
* The skin selection interface is now sorted alphabetically.
* The Frame Capture Alt+"F" (screenshot) function should now work in all video renderers except Overlay Mixer, VMR9 Renderless (VMR9 Windowed and Windowles should work) and EVR.
* Function descriptions have changed to make them easier to Read, Understand and Search.
* The Girder Exported commands are now sorted and split into categories, making it easier to program remote devices and home automation systems.
* Mouse left click while holding the Alt key now zooms in 10% instead of 50% (which wasn't as useful).
* Ctrl+"C" now enables/disables closed captioning when used by media files (it was previously limited to DVDs).
* With some file formats, the playlist would not update the total playlist duration properly.
* Enabling the "Show Time Seek Position Over Timeline" feature would cause the Zoom Player window to become the top-most window if the mouse cursor hovered over the timeline.
* Trying to open the Options dialog with the main window set to "Stay on Top" and Zoom Player set to only show an icon on the tray area would cause the options dialog to appear behind the main window.
* Monitor Powerdown will no longer be disabled when playing in windowed mode (Powerdown will only be disabled when fullscreen).
* Detaching the control bar would not snap its position to the previously saved detached position under some conditions.
* Trying to play streaming content while in DVD Mode would not switch to media mode automatically and then fail to play.
* The Context Navigator did not use the scripting parameters assigned to it correctly.
* The Contact Sheet creation form didn't allow you to select the contact sheet color values.
* Some navigation interface titles could not be translated into other languages.
* The "exSetMode" function would not switch modes properly under some conditions.
* Switching between Media/DVD/Audio mode could result in an Audio mode skin loaded in DVD mode.
* The "Scrollbar Highlight" color for forced Playlist colors was not being saved properly.
* If the internal screen saver got activated with the open file dialog already open, it could cause Zoom Player to become non-responsive.
PlayStation 3 Exploit - Run BluRay Backups via Swap
The new TIFF might be our ticket to a ISO Loader. By copying the TIFF image (download below) to a USB/SD card and opening it in the PS3, causes a unusual response in which the PS3 controls and XMB are still fully functional, and ables you to launch a game.
Instructions:
1. Put the .TIF on a USB (download below)
2. Put a game in the PS3.
3. Insert the card with the .TIF exploit and go to "Photo icon" ... let it load.
3. Try to start the game and it should just lock up.
4. Take the USB out and the game should continue loading.

Net Transport for Windows 9x/Me/2000/XP/2003/Vista 2.46
Net Transport is a fast and powerful download tool. You may use it to download files from Internet servers. It now supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, MMS (Microsoft Media Services), and RTSP (Real-Time Streaming Protocol) - five protocols used to transfer data. It can use multiple threads to download files. If a site allows multithreaded downloads, you can expect much faster speeds. This is especially effective for MMS streams because they use a fixed transmission speed and loading several streams of the same file fully uses your Internet bandwidth.
