SpyBot - Search & Destroy Tools 1.5 Beta
Permalink  
 

SpyBot has announced new versions of miscellaneous tools are now available for beta testing.

Scanning engine
This update cannot be disabled in the download package below; it is not only used if you install TeaTimer, but by the main Spybot-S&D scanner as well.

TeaTimer
Aside from the fix of the graphical glitch so many users have been waiting for, there have been some important changes under the hood, which will reduce the number of change dialogs where the user has to decide.

Vista Security Center
Spybot-S&D can now easily integrate into the Vista Security Centre; which will then monitor if Spybot-S&D is up-to-date and whether the permanent protection (TeaTimer) is running or not.

ClearMem
Permalink  
 

ClearMem Is an Excellent Tool for speeding up your XP Computer (especially if your system has been on for awhile and you have a lot of applications open). Clearmem is made by Microsoft. What it does, is it Forces pages out of physical memory and reduces the size of running processes if working sets to a minimum. When you run this tool, the system pauses because of excessive high-priority activity associated with trimming the working sets. To run this tool, your paging file must be at least as large as physical memory.

AnalogX MaxMem
Permalink  
 

AnalogX MaxMem is a realtime physical memory management program that automatically ensures that you always have as much physical memory available as possible. It does this by allowing you to set minimum amounts of memory to be made available under certain circumstance, and then passively monitoring how much system resources are being used. It runs in the system tray, and also shows you exactly how much memory you have available, plus graphs how you've been using memory over the last 60 seconds.

Photosynth
Permalink  
 

Microsoft has announced the first public release of their Photosynth Technology Preview.

Photosynth combines hundreds or thousands of regular digital photos of a scene to present a detailed 3D model, giving viewers the sensation of smoothly gliding around the scene from every angle. The scene can be constructed regardless of whether the photos are from a single or multiple sources. It’s like a hybrid of a slide show and a gaming experience that lets the viewer zoom in to see greater detail or zoom out for a more expansive view. By viewing the photos in a 3D context you are able to get a better sense for the place where they were captured.

System requirements
* Operating System: Only Windows XP SP2 and Windows Vista RC1 or later are supported at this time.
* Web Browser: IE6 or IE7; we hope to support other browsers in the future.
* Memory: 256 MB of memory is a bare minimum; 1GB recommended.
* Disk: This technology preview uses almost no disk space. The ActiveX control is less than 5MB in size, and no local disk storage is used when the code is running.
* Graphics: We have tested Photosynth on graphics cards that are "Vista Aero Ready". This includes: support for DirectX 9 graphics with a WDDM driver, 128 MB of graphics memory (minimum), and 32 bits per pixel. If you want to find out whether your card is suitable, the Vista Upgrade Advisor tool will tell you. Photosynth may run on cards that do not meet this requirement, but performance may be poor and functionality may be impaired.
