File Name:Windows Service Pack 3 patch for AMD Processor

Developer/Publisher: Microsoft

Review:
Description
If you have an AMD processor and are considering upgrading to Windows Service Pack 3 (SP3), then it is important that you apply this patch before SP3. Otherwise, your system may possibly get stuck in a loop of reboots that will stop Windows XP from starting.

On a technical level, there is a problem with the way that the System Preparation (Sysprep) image is created. According to one explanation offered by Microsoft "The problem may occur if the original Sysprep image for Windows XP Service Pack 1 (SP1), for Windows XP SP2, or for Windows XP SP3 is created on a computer that uses an Intel processor and is then deployed on a computer that does not use an Intel processor. In this configuration, the Intel processor driver (Intelppm.sys) may try to load after the computer is upgraded to Windows XP SP2 or to Windows XP SP3. The driver does this because an orphaned registry key remains from the original Sysprep image." In these cases you may also see the following error messages:

A problem has been detected and Windows has been shut down to prevent damage to your computer...

Technical information:

STOP: 0x0000007E (0xC0000005, [number1], [number2], [number3])
SYSTEM_THREAD_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

When Physical Address Extensions (PAE) is enabled, you may receive the following error message: STOP 0x000000FC (ATTEMPTED_EXECUTE_OF_NOEXECUTE_MEMORY)

[number1], [number2] and [number3] listed above will be random, alphanumeric and 10 digits long. However, 0x0000007E and 0xC0000005 will always be present for this type of error. Note 0x0000007E errors have multiple causes, but if it is an AMD processor and you have just installed SP3, there is a good bet that this patch will fix the issue. Ideally the patch should be applied before the Windows XP Service Pack 3.

Description
Windows XP Service Pack 3 (XP SP3) fixes a range of bugs and adds new features to Windows XP. The file is a large download and can be applied to any version of Windows XP Home, Professional, TabletPC or Media Center (32 bit only). In addition, it doesn't matter what XP patches you have previously applied to your system, SP3 will update any unpatched, partially patched or completely updated system to version SP3. It includes all features of Service Pack 1 and 2, plus all patches, updates and fixes released up to and including April 2008's monthly security bulletin. Keep in mind that new patches made available after Service Pack 3 was released (mid April 2008) will still need to be applied.

Important notes: Microsoft advise uninstalling any beta or Release Candidate versions before installing this final release. Do not install Service Pack 3 on systems with AMD chips unless a special hotfix has been applied first. This hotfix needs to be applied before SP3, otherwise your system may get stuck in a loop and never start. Click here for the AMD Windows XP SP3 hotfix. The file will download directly from Microsoft's servers - you may want to shorten the file name.

The advantage of this full download is that it can be used on any system - plus it doesn't require an Internet connection to install. You can download SP3, copy it to disc or a portable drive and use it on multiple PCs. Alternatively, since the file is so huge, you can download SP3 on a fast Internet connection and use it to update a PC with a slow or non-existent connection.

Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) includes the following:

• All previous security patches and fixes released for Windows XP.
• All enhancements and new features that were included with Windows XP SP1 and Windows XP SP2
• Only two new features have been added: Black Hole Router Detection Windows and Network Access Protection (NAP).
• The following are already available for Windows XP in stand-alone updates. Windows XP SP3 includes them by default (System administrators must choose to install each of these updates): MMC 3.0, MSXML6, Microsoft Windows Installer 3.1 v2, Background Intelligent Transfer Service (BITS) 2.5, IPsec Simple Policy Update for Windows Server 2003 and Windows XP, Digital Identity, Management Service (DIMS), Peer Name Resolution Protocol (PNRP) 2.1, Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2).
• From the Release Notes: "Microsoft is not adding significant functionality from newer versions of Windows, such as Windows Vista, to Windows XP through XP SP3. For instance, Windows XP SP3 does not include Windows Internet Explorer 7, although Windows XP SP3 does include updates to both Internet Explorer 6 and Internet Explorer 7, and it will update whichever version is installed on the computer. One notable exception is that, SP3 does include Network Access Protection (NAP)."

File Name: ClamWin Free Antivirus 0.93.1
Developer/Publisher: ClamWin Pty Ltd.

Review: ClamWin Free Antivirus is, unlike most other antivirus programs for Windows, open source. It features a scheduler, automatic definition database updates, a virus scanner, integration with Windows Explorer, and support for Microsoft Outlook, features often limited in proprietary products.

In addition, there is a Firefox plugin that allows any file downloaded with Mozilla Firefox to be scanned for viruses automatically, making downloading more secure.

Unlike other antivirus software, ClamWin uses less memory and CPU power when in use.

All of these features, however, do come at a price. ClamWin is not as good at detecting all viruses as some other products. It may, however, prove quite useful to use ClamWin for regular scans and use another antivirus software, such as the others listed here at VideoGamez2.0, for checks less often. And certainly gamers will appreciate the fact that ClamWin isn't as agressive in its notifications and won't make your games lag while you play.

Review:

Everyone also like free anti virus software to protect their PC. So, BitDefender 10 Free edition perhaps is a good free anti virus for you. BitDefender 10 free edition is the only BitDefender product for free and the best part of this free anti virus comes with the ICSA Labs certified scanning engines found in other BitDefender products ( BitDefender Anti Virus 2008 or BitDefender Total Security 2008 ), allowing you to enjoy basic virus protection for no cost at all.

Meanwhile, the protection functionality of BitDefender 10 free edition is similar like the AVG 8.0

free edition or BitDefender Anti virus 2008 version. But, the only difference from other free anti virus whereby which it doesn’t provides real time protection. It perform virus scanning based on demand scanning only for detection and removal of all viruses in the wild every time you need it.

However, you can plan a scheduled scanning for regular interval scanning full system/drive scans in the off hours, when you won’t be using your computer. Meanwhile, other security features like immediate scanning, scanning report or quarantine also provided.

However, i not really recommended using BitDefender 10 free edition because there are a lot of free anti virus software like AVG Anti Virus 8.0 free edition which provides real time protection for your computer OS. So, the choices still remain on you.

Supporting operating system for BitDefender 10 free edition are Windows 98/ NT-SP6/ Me/ 2000/ XP IE 4.0(+)

About:

Finally AVG anti virus 8.0 free edition is released for download after two month that AVG Anti virus 8.0 license copy is out. As we know, AVG anti virus free edition has been widely use as a free security software for home user for computer security protection.

Meanwhile, the AVG anti virus 8.0 free edition not only does protect your system from viruses, but also enhances their features by giving spyware detection and Safe search utilities as well. However, this AVG Anti virus 8.0 free edition is slightly difference compare the AVG anti virus license copy which it doesn’t includes Anti Rookit features.

Since the latest AVG anti virus 8.0 is packed with features like real-time protection, daily updates, and integrates to fight spyware through their combination anti virus and spyware engine together. But remembe, This AVG Anti virus free edition anti virus is only for private, non-commercial, single computer use only.
