Dropbox 0.8.112 Experimental

Dropbox works just like any other folder on your computer, but with a few differences. Any files or folders inside Dropbox will get synchronized to Dropbox's servers and any other computer linked to your account. Green checkmarks will appear on top of your files to let you know that they're synced and up to date. All data is transferred over SSL and encrypted with AES-256 before storage. Dropbox keeps track of every change made to any of its contents.

Here are some key features of "Dropbox":
Synchronization:
- Once installed, any file you drop into your Dropbox folder will synchronize and be available on any other computer you've installed Dropbox on, as well as from the web. Also, any changes you make to files in your Dropbox will sync to your other computers, instantly.

Backup:
- Let's say you accidentally delete that 8 page report that you were supposed to have for a meeting tomorrow. A handy Dropbox feature is the ability to undelete files or pull up any previous versions of it.

Sharing:
- You can also share files and folders with whomever you choose, whether it be music with buddies, docs with colleagues or photos with grandma, even if they're not Dropbox users.

Speed:
- We obsess over speed, and it shows. Dropbox is very smart about the way it handles files. For example, if you make a change to a huge file, dropbox will only update the piece of the file that changed.

Security:
- All files are transported over SSL and encrypted using AES-256 (banks use this too)

Panda Cloud Antivirus 1.3 - Simply Evolution

Panda Cloud Antivirus is the first free cloud-based antivirus thin-client. It consists of a lightweight antivirus agent that is connected in real-time to PandaLabs' online Collective Intelligence servers to protect faster against the newest malware variants while barely impacting PC performance. Thanks to Panda Security's Collective Intelligence malware and goodware online database, Panda Cloud Antivirus detects more malware than traditional signature-based solutions which take longer to detect the most recent, and therefore most dangerous, variants.

Panda Cloud Antivirus version 1.3. is the new version of Panda Cloud Antivirus has been made possible thanks to our large community of users and specially to our Support Forum Trusted Mods who have helped a lot of users and gathered enough feedback to incorporate major improvements as well as many different bug fixes. All new features have been included in both the Free and Pro Edition.

Note: If you have Panda Cloud Antivirus 1.1.0, 1.1.1 or 1.1.2, you will get the upgrade automatically and transparently over the course of the next few days.

Download Panda Cloud Antivirus:
Download Panda Cloud Antivirus 1.3 free from website Panda Security

The main new features and fixes included in Panda Cloud Antivirus 1.3 are the following:
• Malicious Web & URL Filtering.
This feature blocks websites that push malware, exploits and drive-by downloads. It is available both in Free and in Pro Editions and is installed by the toolbar. Unlike similar solutions, this web filtering works at a low level so it works under all browsers: Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, Safari, etc. For those of you that didn’t install the toolbar but would like to install the Web & URL Filtering, you can download it from here and install it manually.

• Unified Recycle Bin and Quarantine.
Previously the Recycle Bin handled suspicious detections and the Quarantine handled deleted malware detections. This has been unified into a new Recycle Bin for ease of management. This is included in both Free and Pro Editions.

• Automatic and transparent upgrades to new product versions.
The previously only available in the Pro Edition, this is now available in the Free Edition as well. All users of Free Editions versions 1.1.0, 1.1.1 and 1.1.2 will automatically and transparently upgrade to the new 1.3. See notes below for the upgrade schedule.

• No more nagging advertising.
After listening to many of you we have decided to turn off the nagging advertising popups prompting to upgrade to Pro Edition. If you want to support Panda Cloud Antivirus and wish to get the Pro Edition, you can do so from here, but we won’t bug you anymore from the popups.

• Hot updating of behavioural blocking rules.
In order to increase protection on the fly against new vulnerabilities and attacks and to fix false positives, hot updating of behavioural blocking rules allows faster response time in both the Free and Pro Editions.

• Immediate notifications of virus detections.
Previously if Panda Cloud Antivirus encountered multiple viruses, it would delay its traybar notification and show them grouped. This behaviour has been changed so that the notifications are shown immediately.

• Suspicious detection counter.
Under the statistics window there’s some new counters for the different types of heuristics and behavioural detections.

• New versioning format.
Unified versioning format in GUI and other parts of the program.

• Many bugfixes as reported by users in our support forum:
- Fixed issue with Windows 7 Start menu slow-down.
- Fixed Panda traybar icon disappearing.
- Fixed “you are not connected to the Internet” message when there is connection.
- Fixed issue when Free Edition users can activate behavioural analysis.
- Fixed slow-down and conflicts while playing Allods Online and AION.
- Fixed cloud-response time configuration which defaults to 30 seconds.

It's easy to create and edit your own multimedia playlist with GOM Player.

Dropbox 0.8.107 Experimental

Dropbox works just like any other folder on your computer, but with a few differences. Any files or folders inside Dropbox will get synchronized to Dropbox's servers and any other computer linked to your account. Green checkmarks will appear on top of your files to let you know that they're synced and up to date. All data is transferred over SSL and encrypted with AES-256 before storage. Dropbox keeps track of every change made to any of its contents.

Here are some key features of "Dropbox":

Synchronization:
- Once installed, any file you drop into your Dropbox folder will synchronize and be available on any other computer you've installed Dropbox on, as well as from the web. Also, any changes you make to files in your Dropbox will sync to your other computers, instantly.

Backup:
- Let's say you accidentally delete that 8 page report that you were supposed to have for a meeting tomorrow. A handy Dropbox feature is the ability to undelete files or pull up any previous versions of it.

Sharing:
- You can also share files and folders with whomever you choose, whether it be music with buddies, docs with colleagues or photos with grandma, even if they're not Dropbox users.

Speed:
- We obsess over speed, and it shows. Dropbox is very smart about the way it handles files. For example, if you make a change to a huge file, dropbox will only update the piece of the file that changed.

Security:
- All files are transported over SSL and encrypted using AES-256 (banks use this too)

For more information about SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 2, please visit Release Notes website.

What's New in Microsoft SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 2

• Reporting Services in SharePoint Integrated Mode.
SQL Server 2008 SP2 provides updates for Reporting Services integration with SharePoint products. SQL Server 2008 SP2 report servers can integrate with SharePoint 2010 products. SQL Server 2008 SP2 also provides a new add-in to support the integration of SQL Server 2008 R2 report servers with SharePoint 2007 products. For more information see the “What’s New in SharePoint Integration and SQL Server 2008 Service Pack 2 (SP2)” section in What's New (Reporting Services).
• SQL Server 2008 R2 Application and Multi-Server Management Compatibility with SQL Server 2008.
- SQL Server 2008 Instance Management.With SP2 applied, an instance of the SQL Server 2008 Database Engine can be enrolled with a SQL Server 2008 R2 Utility Control Point as a managed instance of SQL Server. For more information, see Overview of SQL Server Utility in SQL Server 2008 R2 Books Online.

Windows Vista and Windows 7 Black Screen on Computer Unlock

Users running Windows Vista and Windows 7 might experience a Black Screen when they attempt to unlock their machine in certain conditions as follow
1. A Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer is running the "Aero" graphics mode.
2. The Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer is subject to additional security restrictions and security software, such as might be the case in the enterprise, or with mandated security settings and software such as DISA or DoD requirements.
3. The computer is locked and left undisturbed long enough for the screen to go black, which is 20 minutes with the default power policy of "Balanced".
4. A person unlocks the computer by entering their user credentials.

After the credential are entered the screen goes black, and remains black for as much as 10 minutes or longer. The machine is not "hard-locked", as periodic disk-drive activity may be noted from the disk-drive indicator light on the computer, if so equipped.

Cause:
A problem with some layer of security software causes the Desktop Window Manager to wait for an unspecified amount of time.

Resolution:
1. A temporary workaround is to Stop and Disable the "Desktop Window Manager Session Manager" service. Disabling this service will turn off the "Aero" graphics display feature, which will disable certain features such as Aero Peek, Aero Snap, Aero Shake, and so on. To disable this service:
a. Click the Start button, type "services.msc" and then press the ENTER key, or click the icon that comes up under "Programs" in the Instant Search box.
b. Locate and then double-click the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager service.
c. Locate the "Startup type" dropdown and change the value to "disabled".
d. Locate and click the button labeled "Stop".
e. Click the Apply button, and then click the OK button.

Alternatively you can run the following commands from an elevated CMD prompt to set the service properties of the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager service to not running and disabled:

net stop UxSms
sc config UxSms start= disabled

To return the settings for the Desktop Window Manager Session Manager service to normal via the CMD line:

sc config UxSms start= auto
net start UxSms

2. Updated display drivers may resolve this issue. You can determine the manufacturer of the display adapter by following these steps:

1. Click Start, and in the "Search Programs and Folder" text box, type in "MSINFO32" (without quotation marks) and press ENTER.
NOTE: The System Information tool should appear.
2. On the left-hand section called "System Summary" locate Components, and under Components locate and click on Display.
3. The right-hand section of System Information should now display information about the display system in the computer. The item called "Name" should indicate the type of display adapter.
4. At this point you can go to the Internet web site of the vendor, or the vendor of your computer to locate updated drivers.
5. In some cases you may be offered updated video drivers by running Windows Update.
6. If you are not sure of which drivers to install, contact the vendor of your computer hardware for assistance in locating an updated display driver package.

3. The final solution is to discover what layer of security software is causing the temporary blocking which renders the screen black and therefore unusable. That layer of software would need to be uninstalled or updated to prevent the blocking condition in the Desktop Window Manager.
