Download Managers : My Pick (Internet download Manager)


Today we surf the internet using lots of other download utilities to get the best of what we wants , in terms of files we likes to download.
But how to verify we are having the good download manager.

There are lots of download acccerlerator in the markets but only two DM's I have found really nice i.e DAP (download accelrator plus) and IDM of which IDM is very Good.

Following are some of the features of Internet Download Manager(IDM):
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Protocols Support : IDM supports HTTP, FTP, HTTPS and MMS protocols.

Multimedia Support:  MP3 audio , MPEG video ,and all other files content processing.

Browser Integration : Internet Explorer, MSN Explorer, AOL, Netscape Communicator, Netscape 6, Netscape 7, Mozilla,Mozilla Firefox , Mozilla Firebird, Opera, NetCaptor, UltraBrowser, Slim Browser, Avant Browser, MyIE2, Optimal Desktop, Ace Explorer, Advanced Browser, 27 Tools-in-1 Wichio Browser, WindowSurfer, 550 Access Browser, FineBrowser Freeware, Kopassa Browser, Fast Browser Pro, Enigma Browser, GoSuRF, K-Meleon, Smart Explorer, The Off By One Web Browser, Smartalec Voyager, CrystalPort AppCapture, The Family Browser, XANA Web Browser, Bluto, AutoSurf, 32bit Web Browser, BrowseMan, WrestlingBrowser, Eminem Browser, UltraBrowser, Cygsoft LDAP Browser, and Net M@nager.Internet Download Manager supports all versions of popular browsers, and can be integrated into any 3rd party Internet applications.

Language Support :    Multilingual(All Languages)

Bandwidth Control : You can set the badwidth for the download , so that your download won't affect you browsing speed.

Download : Easy downloading with one click. When you click on a download link in a browser, IDM will take over the download and accelerate it.           You may simply drag and drop links to IDM

Speed Acceleration: Internet Download Manager can accelerate downloads by up to 5 times due to its intelligent dynamic file segmentation technology. Unlike other download managers and accelerators Internet Download Manager segments downloaded files dynamically during download process and reuses available connections without additional connect and login stages to achieve best acceleration performance.

Resume capability : Internet Download Manager will resume unfinished download from the place where they left off,even if the resume is not supported over the site you can download from where you stopped or if computer shutdowns.

Grabber : Internet Download Manager can grab FLV videos , audio from popular sites like YouTube, MySpaceTV, and Google Video etc.

Download Security: Automatic Antivirus checking. Antivirus checking makes your downloads free from viruses and trojans.

Download Scheduler: Internet Download Manager can connect to the Internet at a set time, download the files you want, disconnect, or shut down your computer when it's done.
proxy servers: IDM works with Microsoft ISA, and other  FTP proxy servers.

Authentication protocols: Basic,NTLM, and Keberos. Thus IDM can access many Internet and proxy servers using login name and password.

Download Categories : Internet Download Manager can be used to organize downloads automatically using defined download categories.


So after looking IDM's rich features I recommends to use Internet dowload Manager than any other dowmoad manager.

Computer Security Applications

Security applications are necessity of the present time.
Having a security application installed over your computer is very important, you probably face many situations everyday that could harm your computer with malicious content without you knowing or consent.

If you're a regular web surfer, or download frequently, or even share a portable drives with friends or family, then your chances of getting your computer infected has just increased.

The absense of a security application is like driving bike without a helmet, you're just playing with the odds, it might happen, or not. It's always better to be safe than sorry. with either!

Fortunately, there are a lot security applications available, some of them are even free, so if you don't have the budget to pay for one, just use a free one.

Everyday new virus, trojan or any type of malicious files are created, before they are intented to harm machines but now the virus writer wants business (money) ,it's just one of those "human mystery behavior", but they do exist, and if you're not cautious then you might lose all your computer's content or even have your personal information revealed and used without your knowledge.

For example, a malicious technique called "keylogging" can be used against you to log every key stroke you make with your keyboard, this means all your passwords, chats.. then easily sent to the remote person that infected you with that file to use the information without your knowlege.

Also, if you frequently download files online, or share files with your friends, you're faced with a possibility of infection, malicious files are "covert" that means even your friend that you shared files with might get infected without him/her knowing about it.

There are a lot of arguments that none of the security applications are perfect, however that doesn't mean they are not necessary, they decrease the chance of your computer being infected by at least 70%.

Here is a list of security applications that I recommend for you to use: (Pick one only) I hv picked SOPHOS for you.

* McAfee Anti-virus ( You need to purchase )

* Sophos Anti-virus ( You need to purchase , but I'm giving 30days keys so that it works for you)



* Symantec Anti-virus ( You need to purchase )

* Kaspersky Anti-Virus ( You need to purchase )

* Clam -Anti-virus ( FREE)


* avast! Anti-Virus (Free edition available)


* AVG Anti-virus (Free edition available)

* Antivir - anti-virus ( FREE)


* Malwarebytes ( FREE)


From the above I would like to tell you about SOPHOs , the one which has got nice features.

Download it from the below link..

When the configuration is finished run the scan over the machine

or you can create batch file and run it whenever you want you machine to scan

To do so copy the following content in a notepad and save it as "Scan.bat".

cd\
cd Program Files
cd Sophos
cd sophos Anti-virus
sav32cli -f -all -di -dn -remove -noc -p=c:\scanlog.txt 

Save the above one  as Scan.bat and run if you want to run command line scanner.

After you install the security application you chose, always make sure that you keep it up-to-date to better protect you from new malicious files.
