Mazov Gosha

The mouse wheel is a very useful tool to move text, but sometimes it only works with certain parts and only when they are selected, which can turn out to be a nuisance.

Furthermore, within the adjustments you can configure the horizontal movement with the wheel, making it possible to replace it by the vertical movement or converting it in a keyboard shortcut like CONTROL wheel.

CrowdInspect

Crowdstrike

CrowdInspect is an effecient tool that can detect any suspicious activity running on Windows so you can identify and remove any viruses on your computer before they damage it. This task manager analyzes your computer in real time to show you information on the processes and applications currently running on the PC so you can manage what's happening on your system. When you run the program you'll get a list of all Windows processes, with details such as the process name, the date and time at which it started, IP addresses, and local and remote ports or DNS. CrowdInspect compares the information from the task manager with the VirusTotal database, a web platform that scans files with more than 50 different antivirus tools. This way, no malware will go undetected: CrowdInspect will check the information against other online sources like WOT and MHR to make sure that each process is secure. If the processes are safe, you'll see a green circle. If the circle is red, it could be malware, and if it's grayed out, it's because the analysis is still pending.

Debian

The Debian Project

Debian is a community-supported Linux distribution that was first being developed in 1993. This means that it is one of the oldest Linux kernel-based operating systems in existence, which is why many other more modern distributions, such as Ubuntu and Mint, are directly based on its code. This distribution, like many others, is mainly composed of free and open-source software, which you can easily download. Installing Debian is much simpler than the tutorials on the official website suggest. Those tutorials are very comprehensive and explain step-by-step what you have to do to install this distribution correctly, but they can be very long and may put you off. In fact, the installation process is relatively simple: you just need to put the complete ISO on a DVD or USB stick (for the latter, you may need third-party software) and reboot your computer. When you restart the PC with the bootable DVD or USB stick, you can select the guided installation, which will take you through the whole process. The two pillars of Debian are safety and stability. Proof of this is that many other distributions use it as the basis of their projects: Ubuntu, Knoppix, Tails, Mint and PureOS are just some of the well-known Linux distributions using Debian code. The latest versions of the operating system also make it easier and easier to download and install new updates, so you can always keep your computer up-to-date and perfectly protected. If there is an update for your operating system, you will be the first to know about it. Although during its early years, one of the most problematic points of using Debian was the audio and video codecs, all these drawbacks are now behind us. Listening to all your music and watching all your movies is now easy and convenient thanks to its multiple codec libraries and access to different open-source programs that you can use to play all this content. After all, some of the most popular and widely used media players, regardless of operating system, are open source. Download Debian if you want to try all the power and stability of one of the elder statesmen of Linux-based operating systems. In its online repository, you will find more than 50,000 free software packages, with programs like LibreOffice, GIMP, VLC Media Player, Firefox or Evince, among many others. And, of course, you can also find many video games.

UNetbootin

Geza Kovacs

Excuses for not trying Linux are becoming fewer and fewer. UNetbootin is an application available for Windows and Linux that lets you install almost any Linux distribution on a USB or other removable device. The main advantage of using UNetbootin is that you do not need a CD for some of the distributions, because it is capable of downloading from the Internet (as it does Wubi with Ubuntu) and install them on the selected location. For those distributions that are not available on line, UNetbootin allows you to install them with an image on a disk or a version that is stored in the Kernel or Initrids disk. Do not worry about starting up the program, because UNetbootin sets up a dual boot after installing the distribution you selected. This is independent of the Windows operating system you have.

SmartPower
