Web Of Trust Helps Protect You While Surfing

Apr 012010

Web Of Trust is a a web browsing tool that I came across recently. This tool installs as an extension on your favorite browser. WOT will then warn you about risky sites before you click on them. The nice thing about the tool is if you go to a site directly it will pop up a banner warning you. You can then select to continue on to the site or you can surf in a different direction. WOT currently has almost 27 million sites rated and is growing every day. I was pretty surprised to see that out of the 27 million about 3 million are rated dangerous. This tool has really saved me a couple of times over the past couple weeks. So I encourage you to stop on over at their site and check it out. Stop back by and let me know what you think.

BlueScreenView is a great tool that you can download from Nirsoft. The free tool allows you to so scan minidump files created during the blue screen of death crashes. The utility will show you the date\time, basic crash information, and the details of the driver that could have possible caused the blue screen. This tool is a must have if you are a server administrator that needs to quickly figure out what has crashed your system. This tool has significantly cut down on my troubleshooting costs and time.

InputDirector is a great program that allows you control multiple computers from one keyboard and mouse. The great part about this program is that it is easy to use and also free. Input director does require Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows Vista, Windows 2008, or Windows 7. They computers also must be networked together. If you meet both of those requirements all you have to do is install the software on each machine and configure it. You control the transition from one computer to another by simply moving your cursor off one screen to another. So if you have a need to control multiple computers from one spot check out this great software.
