One of the problems I have in communicating with my friends is that they all use different email applications: hotmail, yahoo, gmail, hushmail, mail.ru. There is no rhyme or reason to the applications they use and we can’t do instant messaging unless we both share the same email program. Skype is great, but you have to download software onto your machine which I try to avoid doing because this tends to clutter up and slow down my machine. I would prefer to use a free browser based web application if I can.
I encourage Coolwizardz.com users to try out www.ChatMaker.NET. The look and feel of the site is decidedly Web 2.0. The website is lightweight, downloads quickly and is simple enough to use that even my grandma or the friendly librarian that is not technically inclined could easily learn how to use the site. You type in a chat room name, press go and Presto! you have created an instant chat room that you can email to your friends or insert into a community or personal site for your instant communication needs.

This week we review a multimedia software package that promises to be a hit with anyone involved in design, media, digital entertainment or creative fields. The Blaze Media Pro 
software is an all around work horse tool with file conversion, CD burning, audio and video editing functionality. It also includes a video encoder feature for your streaming flash needs. The MOV converter is a delight. It actually works! Unlike many services on the web that purport to convert and leave you with a grainy video that you can’t even see because the conversion process is spotty, this is good. One of the factors that make this company unique is that it supports one of the broadest variety of multimedia file tyes I have seen including MP3, MPG, WMV, WMA, AVI, OGG, MOV, ASF, AIFF, WAV, VOX, AU, MPC, MIDI and many more.
It is a relatively young company, but the risk is reduced to a great degree by the offering of a free of charge trial, so there is little to lose. If you are in the market for DVD software, I would encourage you to take a look. As always your feedback on Coolwizardz.com is welcome! Let us know if there are topics that are relevant to your work and day to day lives. We attempt to serve a broad demographic of users which includes information architects, graphic designers, gamers, software engineers, technology wizards, etc. When we find a unique tool that captures our eye, we will be sure to bring it to your attention.

So i had a new computer dead slow and a software I never installed showing viruses in a number I can’t even count! So i started digging the details about Windows XP Antivirus 2008, which forcibly sat on my system trying to convince me that my new machine is infected with some 12,XXX types of viruses, even added a warning Message on my desktop and restricted me from changing it by simply right clicking and clicking on Properties, because the complete “Desktop” tab was gone!
Starting with a slight bit of Information about this annoying piece of Code, well this “very helping” tool is yet another name among the malicious software Rogue security Software makers create and inject using xponlinescanner.com, the only reason behind this is to make the annoyed/scared user buy their software, and for this they will go to any extent, like i mentioned fake messages, warnings, and other Found Viruses ITS ALL FAKE! You can read full details about them at Wikipedia: Link
Installing The Shield
First Step was to Install a Good trustable AntiSpyware as no one would like to get another trojan in the hope of removing one! So my choice was Ad-Aware 2008, from Lavasoft, a free Version of which can be Obtained here. They are not paying me to download this! so you are free to try other options like AVG AntiVirus and O have checked even Avast Works.
Okay so you will download and install any one of these and do a system scan, it will definitely put on hold on affects of this Badware, but if it doesn’t actually terminate the program and other indirect effects, like disabled Task Manager, Folder Option gone! Just in case you will need follow these few steps,
