RarRepair Tool 3.0

Compressed archives have long become the most popular form of data storage and transmission. But there remains one problem - the integrity of the archive structure of such rar files that we easily copy to removable media or send over networks. Until recently, file damage, something we can not escape in the process of data transfer and storage, created a potential weakness of rar archives.
The new generation of rar repair tools, however, provides a way to fix your corrupted rar files by applying sophisticated recovery algorithms and powerful rar repair engines.

Many things can cause file damage. The noise, introduced into downloads by line overload can cause transfer errors and finally corrupt your rar file. Physical damage to removable media can bring disruption into archive integrity and as a result you will have a rar file in need for recovery. Ordinary rar applications fail to extract archives whose integrity was disrupted. In case of a rar file damage,
it is the cyclic redundancy check, or CRC, that prevents you from extracting its contents, even if their part is intact. Instead, a notification appears, saying "Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive". When damage prevents you from accessing archives, use Rar Repair Tool v3.0, the state-of-the-art software specifically developed to recover corrupted rar files from damage.
Its sophisticated algorithm helps repair rar archive structure and restore data within. The program handles rar repair in the automatic mode, relieving the user of the technical side of the process. Its user-friendly interface makes rar repair but a snap.

Dog Icon Exe with Random name in Temp Folder

Running window2000 server & Updated Trend Micro In Place

I noticed services having random names like AB4FR1.EXE in the taskbar.
In WINNT\Tmp I m having file names like ~DF1101.tmp along with the random filename AB4FR1.EXE

If I kill the services i can delete the AB4FR1.EXE and ~DF1101.tmp but obviously it recreates itself on next boot with another name..

The random.exe file has always a dog icon.

Looks like using Process Explorer, found that Trend Micro antivirus program created those files. Process Explorer can help you do that.

than called TrendMicro Guys.

They confirm that the random.exe files visible in c:\windosws\temp are created by their antiviruses watchdod. The reason of the dog icon.

problem is solved because there were no problems :)

Prerelease versions will expire without proper activation

Prerelease versions will expire without proper activation, Microsoft says.
Robert Mullins, IDG News Service


Microsoft says supposedly pirated copies of its new Vista computer operating system "will be of limited value" to those who use them.

Microsoft responded to reports that some Web sites have been circulating pirated copies of Vista and the Microsoft Office 2007 applications suite.

The pirated Vista comes with a product key that users can enter to activate a version of the products on their computers without paying for them, according to a report on the Web site of The Sydney (Australia) Morning Herald newspaper. A product key is a unique serial number tied to each package of a software product.

A second download, called an "activation crack," can then be applied that bypasses the activation process intended to guarantee that the Vista version being downloaded is legitimate, the Herald reported. Pirated copies of Office 2007 can be downloaded just with the product key with no second activation code required.


Apps Will Expire

But Microsoft said in a prepared statement that those pirated copies of the OS won't work for long.

"The copies available for download are not final code and users should avoid unauthorized copies which could be incomplete or tampered. This unauthorized download relies on the use of pre-RTM [release-to-manufacturing] activation keys that will be blocked using Microsofta??s Software Protection Platform. Consequently, these downloads will be of limited value," the statement said.

Microsoft is still looking into reports of pirated versions of Office 2007 and declined further comment.

"Microsoft is happy that customers are eager to begin using Windows Vista," the company said.


Vista's Launch Schedule

Microsoft has been criticized for multiple delays in bringing Vista to market, but has said it wants to take care that the product is designed correctly to avoid security flaws, piracy problems, and other software glitches.

The company released Vista to computer manufacturers November 8 for them to build into new laptops and desktops available for retail sale in January 2007. Consumers can start buying individual copies of Vista January 30.

Microsoft also plans to have Vista in the hands of business customers by the end of November. It has scheduled a Vista launch event in New York City on November 30 when the new Office 2007 and Exchange Server 2007 will also be introduced.

vbSendMail.dll Version 3.65-- Easy E-mail Sending in VB, with Attachments

Sending an e-mail with this .dll is as simple as the following:

'Module Level Declaration (WithEvents optional but recommended)
Private WithEvents poSendMail as vbSendMail.clsSendMail
Private Sub cmdSend_Click()
'Assumes you have a form with text boxes named as below

set poSendMail = new vbSendMail.clsSendMail
poSendMail.SMTPHost = txtServer.Text
poSendMail.From = txtFrom.Text
poSendMail.FromDisplayName = txtFromName.Text
poSendMail.Recipient = txtTo.Text
poSendMail.RecipientDisplayName = txtToName.Text
poSendMail.ReplyToAddress = txtFrom.Text
poSendMail.Subject = txtSubject.Text
poSendMail.Attachment = txtFileName.text 'attached file name
poSendMail.Message = txtMsg.Text
poSendMail.Send
set poSendMail = nothing
End Sub

For multiple file attachments, an example would be:

poSendMail.Attachment = txtFileName1.text & ";" & txtFileName2.text

C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32 SHELL32.DLL,SHExitWindowsEx n

Where n is one of the following values, depending on the task you want to accomplish:

n=0 LOGOFF: Shuts down all running processes, logs the user off, then restarts the Windows shell. (Same as Logoff on the Start Menu.)
n=1 SHUTDOWN: Shuts down the system to a point at which it is safe to turn off the power. All file buffers have been flushed to disk, and all running processes have stopped.
n=2 REBOOT: Shuts down the system, then restarts it. (Same as Start Menu | Shutdown | Restart.)
n=4 FORCE: Forces all processes to terminate — in effect, shuts down all running programs. When this flag is set, Windows does not query running applications to inform them that Windows is shutting down. This can cause the applications to lose data, therefore, you should only use this flag in an emergency.
n=8 POWEROFF: Exits Windows, then turns off the computer’s power (provided the computer supports the power-off feature).
n=-1 RESTART EXPLORER: Quickly closes Explorer (i.e., the Windows desktop), then lets it restore itself.
