RootRepeal-rootkit detector

http://rootrepeal.googlepages.com/

RootRepeal is a new rootkit detector currently in public beta.  It is designed with the following goals in mind:

   1. Easy to use – a user with little to no computer experience should be able to use it.
   2. Powerful – it should be able to detect all publicly available rootkits.
   3. Stable – it should work on as many different system configurations as possible, and, in the event of an incompatibility, not crash the host computer.
   4. Safe – it will not use any rootkit-like techniques (hooking, etc.) to protect itself.

Currently, RootRepeal includes the following features:

   1. Driver Scan – scans the system for kernel-mode drivers.  Displays all drivers currently loaded, and shows if a driver has been hidden, and whether the driver's file is visible on-disk.
   2. Files Scan – scans any fixed drive on the system for hidden, locked or falsified* files.
   3. Processes Scan – scans the system for processes.  Displays all processes currently running, and shows if a processes is hidden or locked.
   4. SSDT Scan – shows whether any of the functions in the System Service Descriptor Table (SSDT) are hooked.
   5. Stealth Objects Scan – attempts to determine if any rootkits are active by looking for typical symptoms.
   6. Hidden Services Scan – scans for hidden system services.
   7. Shadow SSDT Scan – counterpart to the SSDT Scan, but deals mostly with graphics and window-related functions.

* – falsified files are files which have their size mis-reported to the Windows API.  Some rootkits use this to hide data.

dvdisaster-burn cd/dvd with extra error correction capacity 

http://dvdisaster.net/en/index.php

dvdisaster stores data on CD/DVD/BD (supported media) in a way that it is fully recoverable even after some read errors have developed. This enables you to rescue the complete data to a new medium.

Data loss is prevented by using error correcting codes. Error correction data is either added to the medium or kept in separate error correction files. dvdisaster works at the image level so that the recovery does not depend on the file system of the medium. The maximum error correction capacity is user-selectable.

Common misunderstandings about dvdisaster:

• dvdisaster can not make defective media readable again. Contents of a defective medium can not be recovered without the error correction data.
• Such functions are outside the scope of dvdisaster's internal design and goals.

Window Size- developer tool to set predefined window sizes

http://www.markuswelz.de/freeware/index.html#card4anchor

You want to test how your program or web site looks on a screen with lower resolution than your's?
You can change your screen's resolution of course. But it is probably more convenient just to resize your program's or browser's window to the desired width and height. All you have to do is to select the desired size and then click on the big button. The next window that becomes the forground window (by clicking on that window or it's taskbar button) will be resized.

New in version 2.2: A function to restore the original size of each window which has been resized with WindowSize. This will, however, not work if WindowSize has meanwhile been stopped and restarted.
New in version 2.1:
1. Add a border in order to get the correct client area size for a maximized window.
2. Subtract the size of the taskbar.
