Sign In - Yahoo! Briefcase: "Welcome to Yahoo! Briefcase"
Yahoo's Briefcase online service, a handy, free way to move and store up to 30MB of data. Just upload files into your briefcase, then use the service to send your buddy or coworker an e-mail message with a link to the file. I have multiple briefcases, some private, some available to others. It's a great service, provided you can deal with Yahoo's confusing registration and its intrusive, blaring ads. One other caveat: No single file can be larger than 5MB.
A collection of everything I have found good on the Web inc. Programs,Games, Utilities and those "Just plain interesting sites"

SnapFolders
SnapFolders: "The shortcuts you create with SnapFolders are automatically placed on the Start Menu or a side menu to the Start Menu. Like any shortcuts they can be copied or moved anywhere you want. Like any shortcuts they can be renamed or deleted as you wish.
Shortcuts to folders have been available in Windows since Windows 95 was released in 1995. In those days a 1 GB hard disk was considered a luxury. Today, a 200 GB hard disk is quite ordinary. The average home user is lost in a folder jungle that gets bigger and bigger every year. The average professional user has to cope with a network where the jungle is even bigger.
Arm yourself with a machete in the folder jungle!"

FolderShare - Secure Remote Access VPN Solution
FolderShare - Secure Remote Access VPN Solution
FolderShare, My Hero
Of all the products I've tried and talked about, FolderShare is the one I still use. That's because even the freebie version is handy-dandy for popping a handful of files over to, say, my daughter. It lets you queue up to three files to transfer online. Once queued, the files are transferred one after another without you having to manually intervene.
The only significant downside is in a separate feature that allows you to create a file library on your PC and share those files with friends and colleagues. The program limits your sharing to just two libraries of files and you can't have more than 1500 files in a library. But this isn't a big deal, especially for free. (BTW, there's no time limitation on the trial version--which is why I call it a freebie.)

Software Extravaganza (Mostly FREE!)
This is a site created by Jason McFeetors and has a section dedicated to tools and utilities which are available as freeware to users. There are two main differences between his site and other freeware sites:
This is what he has to say:-
1) All of the applications that are available are used by me personally so that their usefulness is properly understood.
2) All applications must be freeware or freely available. This means that the software is accessible by everyone. In fact, much of the freeware is intended to replace actual retail software.
The list is significantly smaller than most freeware websites but I see most of the software in the list as "crucial". In fact, I have removed software from the listing which was more trouble than it was worth (which, since it was freeware, was nothing)!
I have not updated the website in a couple of months but I am presently working on an updated site with search capabilities and a "What's New" option. Since it will be a while before it is updated, here is a complete list of all the software and services which are presently in my new website database (which is not yet published to the internet). All changes will be available in the future at my site http://www.mcfeetors.com/downloads.asp [note: this link is not currently active] but here is the list until that time:

Kazaa promises unlimited free internet calls
Latest P2P client includes integration with Skype
Robert Jaques, vnunet.com 22 Nov 2004
ADVERTISEMENT
Sharman Networks today launched Kazaa v3.0, the latest version of its P2P client software, which features integration with Skype to enable users to make free internet phone calls.
"Internet telephony is a new frontier in P2P communications and a rapidly growing market," said Nikki Hemming for Sharman Networks. "The inclusion of Skype is a natural extension of the Kazaa product and of P2P."
Hemming claimed that over 300 million people have already downloaded the Kazaa application and are using P2P technology legally to purchase licensed music files, videos, games and ring tones.
"Despite narrow-minded attempts by others to stymie P2P technology through litigation, boycotts and legislation, Sharman Networks remains committed to delivering on the promise of P2P," said Hemming.
In addition to Skype, Kazaa v3.0 also offers a free blog trial through an affiliate programme with TypePad. The offering also includes improved search capabilities, enabling up to 3,000 more results per search than previously.

Shopping, best Shop, Product review and Price Comparison at dooyoo.co.uk
Shopping, best Shop, Product review and Price Comparison at dooyoo.co.uk
Dooyoo describes itself as a 'decision-enabling platform'. More simply put, it has loads of reviews written by ordinary folk about almost anything, including kitchen sinks.
Hot topic: Electronic goods enjoy a slight edge in terms of review numbers.
Our favourite review of the day: A budding Bill Oddie writes a review on feeding ducks: "The first step is to locate a nearby pond or river. For added excitement, try to throw the bread between two competing ducks. This will allow you to judge the birds on reaction times, speed and temper."
What they said about my phone: While most reviews were positive, many echoed my own grumble – that the battery drains too fast. One reviewer used almost the same phrase I did when I complained to my phone company: "The battery must be leaking because it has to be recharged every day and I don’t use [the phone] much at all."
What we liked: The clear presentation, category headings and search tool make browsing a doddle. Reviews have an admirable level of intelligence and thoughtfulness, and most reviews are well-balanced, outlining the good as well as the duff: one writer praises his Alba DVD player, but adds: ‘the remote control is a nightmare’.
You can pen your own reviews, receive newsletters and even earn Dooyoomiles for your works. There are 1,000 Dooyoomiles in a pound, and you earn 100 for writing an opinion or 30 every time someone reads one of your reviews.

Finding a second opinion: Using free Web-based AV scanning resources (Virus)
Several antivirus companies offer free Web-based services you can use to scan your entire system for infection. Since they scan an entire machine for viruses and worms, I refer to these tools as "system scanners" to differentiate them from the "file scanners" which I'll discuss later. With a system scanner, simply surf to the site, click on a button typically labeled "scan now", and watch as your system is scanned. Here is a list of my three favorite Web-based system scanners for Windows machines:
* Computer Associates' system scanner. This tool has a very easy to use point-and-click interface with results that are simple to understand.
* Symantec's system scanner. This solid scanning tool is one of the faster ones. Also, beyond an antivirus scanner, this site also includes a separate scanner to look for common Windows vulnerabilities and Trojan Horses.
* Trend Micro's system scanner. This tool is also very good, featuring reports showing more detail about potential infections than the other services.
Most of these system scanners are implemented via ActiveX controls the Web site sends to your browser. Therefore, depending on your browser configuration, you may need to permit a single ActiveX control to run on your system. Given that a major antivirus vendor runs each of these sites, allowing such access is likely quite reasonable in most organizations. Furthermore, by pushing the ActiveX control to your browser, where the scanning occurs, none of these services involves sending any of your files across the Internet for inspection. All scanning is done locally. Remember that none of these system-scanning services is a replacement for a solid antivirus tool installed locally. They give you a good second opinion, but require you to manually surf to their Web sites to initiate a scan.
But what if you only need to check an individual file? That's where free Web-based file scanners come in handy. For each of these services, you can submit a single file or an archive containing a group of files. The service then runs one or more antivirus tools against the file and sends you the results. All scanning takes place at the services' machines, so no new software at all runs on your system, not even an ActiveX control. Here is a list of some of my favorite Web-based file scanners:
# Virustotal.com's file scanner. This Web site is the best one I've found for scanning individual files. (I use it all the time.) You can submit a suspicious file or archive by filling out a Web-based form, thereby sending the file via http. Alternatively, you can send the suspect file via e-mail to scan@virustotal.com. The beauty of this service is that they will scan your file with 11 different antivirus tools, including ClamAV, CA, Eset Software, FRISK Software, Kaspersky Labs, McAfee, Norman, Panda Software, Softwin, Sybari and Symantec. You'll get the diagnosis from each of these tools in a nice little report. Once you've submitted a file, you'll typically hear back within five seconds to two minutes.
# Kaspersky's file scanner. This one lets you submit files via a Web form, and get a response within a few seconds
# Symantec's file scanner. This scanner lets you submit files via e-mail. You'll need to zip the file in a password-protected zip archive with the password "infected" and send it to AVSubmit@symantec.com. They claim they'll respond within 24 hours with the verdict, although every time I've used the service, I get the results back in about an hour.
Keep in mind that these file-scanning services merely attempt to see if the file you submit matches any of their respective signatures. Your file might get a clean bill of health in these scans, but could still be very malicious. It's possible that you've received custom-created malicious code for which no signature has been created. Therefore, use the results of a file scanner as a single data point in your decision about whether the suspect file is really malicious. However, even given this limitation, these free services are immensely helpful in identifying infected systems and malicious code.

For each of these services, you can submit a single file or an archive containing a group of files. The service then runs one or more antivirus tools against the file and sends you the results. All scanning takes place at the services' machines, so no new software at all runs on your system, not even an ActiveX control. Here is a list of some of my favorite Web-based file scanners:
# Virustotal.com's file scanner. This Web site is the best one I've found for scanning individual files. (I use it all the time.) You can submit a suspicious file or archive by filling out a Web-based form, thereby sending the file via http. Alternatively, you can send the suspect file via e-mail to scan@virustotal.com. The beauty of this service is that they will scan your file with 11 different antivirus tools, including ClamAV, CA, Eset Software, FRISK Software, Kaspersky Labs, McAfee, Norman, Panda Software, Softwin, Sybari and Symantec. You'll get the diagnosis from each of these tools in a nice little report. Once you've submitted a file, you'll typically hear back within five seconds to two minutes.
# Kaspersky's file scanner. This one lets you submit files via a Web form, and get a response within a few seconds
# Symantec's file scanner. This scanner lets you submit files via e-mail. You'll need to zip the file in a password-protected zip archive with the password "infected" and send it to AVSubmit@symantec.com. They claim they'll respond within 24 hours with the verdict, although every time I've used the service, I get the results back in about an hour.
Keep in mind that these file-scanning services merely attempt to see if the file you submit matches any of their respective signatures. Your file might get a clean bill of health in these scans, but could still be very malicious. It's possible that you've received custom-created malicious code for which no signature has been created. Therefore, use the results of a file scanner as a single data point in your decision about whether the suspect file is really malicious. However, even given this limitation, these free services are immensely helpful in identifying infected systems and malicious code.

Bored.
Bored.com: "Life.com "
matter how busy we usually are, there always comes a time when we are just plain bored. These are the types of occasions where you can say that you did absolutely nothing the entire day and actually mean it. During these times, you can probably be found sitting on your couch, frustrated with your own boredom. Whenever you reach this low and are desperate for something to do (besides watching bread grow mold), open up your Web browser and surf on over to Bored.com.
The site functions like a directory that leads you to amusing sites. The content is split up into categories, and you’re sure to find something stupid enough to be funny. Perhaps you’d like to see what your phone number spells, or you may wish to pop virtual bubble wrap. The choice is yours. You can also watch videos of stupid people doing stupid stuff – that’s always self-motivating. These are just a few of the time wasting options available on the site, but rest assured that there is a lot more to see here.

Refdesk: reference, facts, news, free and family friendly
Getting to the straight facts is a task that is becoming increasingly difficult. So many of the news sources present an overwhelming amount of fluff that just obscures the real content. With the Internet, you can take matters into your own hands. After all, why wouldn’t you want to be in charge of what news is fed to you? Refdesk is a site that provides an expansive directory of facts, news, and other topical content that you can browse through at your own leisure.

Google It... (Talk)
Google. I doubt seriously if I have to explain it. It’s become a part of our culture like no other. I really suspect that it’s more pervasive than Microsoft. Google, after all, is pretty much platform non-specific.
So I faced a real problem here- where do I post this little tidbit? It’s not really news, so I can’t post it to Tech News Watch. It isn’t not really anything. Or more properly, it fits in so many categories that reposting it that many times would be a chore!
So I figured to make it an item in Windows Fanatics in the hope that it will reach the maximum number of people. Oh, it'll spread around our newsletters, I'm sure, but I'll start here.
Okay. You know what Google is. Do you know what it does? Really? Reaad on!
