Repair Computer/Optimize System Performance – Free Evonsoft Computer Repair

System utilities that perform multiple tasks such as a cleaning the Registry, removing junk files, resolving privacy issues, and removing Spyware, can be intimidating to new or casual computer users. Generally, this type of user is often unfamiliar with both the technology itself, and the technical terms involved in using this type of application.

But Evonsoft Computer Repair, a one click advanced system utility for Windows that allows the user to safely remove spyware, clean the registry, sweep for privacy issues, and clean junk files with a single mouse click, has been designed with this category of user in mind.

While it’s true that more advanced users want/need much more control than a one click system utility provides, this sort of utility can be the ideal solution for a new user.

According to the developers, with one click Evonsoft Computer Repair will scan your computer and present a list of the errors found by the application. You will then have the option of cleaning each item individually, or allowing the application to repair the errors automatically.

In my own testing, I found that the application was extremely fast and that it worked as advertised. I did find however, that the lack of a clear explanation left me feeling slightly uncomfortable. I suspect that more advanced users might also feel the same way.

On the other hand, this lack of explanation might be the very feature that the new user will find most appealing about this application. Most new computer users, in my experience, don’t really want to know the details; they just want the job done.

If you’re a new, or casual computer user, this free application should meet your needs effectively.

Quick Facts:

• Scans and removes spyware and adware
• Cleans your System and should boost performance
• Repairs your PC and keeps it tuned
• Very easy to use
• Free – no adware, spyware, or viruses

System Requirements: Windows Vista, XP, 2000, and 2003 Server.

McAfee to Test Spam – Cyber Criminal Link

This morning my email inboxes in two of the five email services that I use, held a surprise for me once again, with an email from myself. As always, I simply deleted this spoofed spam email along with the other unsolicited junk mail.

The spoofed spam reminded me of an experiment being run by McAfee Inc., a world leader in antivirus, firewall, and Internet security software. McAfee began soliciting for volunteers in December 2007 and selected 50 of them to participate in a test in which the volunteers will have to respond to every unsolicited email mail they receive over a thirty day test period, beginning today.

Their laptops, supplied by McAfee, will operate without active anti-spam protection so that McAfee can test the theory that spam email is linked to cyber crime. Personally, I think that’s a no-brainer; so why bother with a test.

McAfee’s view however, as expressed by Christopher Bolin, McAfee’s chief technology officer is “Spam isn’t just a nuisance. It’s a tool used by cyber criminals to steal personal and business data. And, as scammers become more adept at writing spam in local languages it’s becoming more difficult for Internet users to detect spam. It’s vital that computer users understand the risks of leaving their computers unprotected.”

It seems to me, given the fact that spam exists in many forms including instant messaging spam, Web search engine spam, Blog spam, cell phone messaging spam, and more, that focusing on a narrow definition of what constitutes spam, has little relative value.

So I’m skeptical about the significance of this type of experiment given what we already know about spam, malware attacks in all its various forms, and the known connection to cyber criminals. However, I’m a curious fellow and I’ll follow the research, and the results obtained, with interest.

If you’re interested, you can visit McAfee/Spam Experiment to track the daily progress of the S.P.A.M. Experiment and read Blog reports from the test participants.
