It’s been a while since their previous release, but Spybot - Search & Destroy has never been away. They kept providing updates on a regular basis. Spybot - Search & Destroy detects and removes spyware, a threat not covered by common anti-virus applications. Spyware silently tracks your surfing behaviour to create a marketing profile for you that is transmitted without your knowledge to the compilers and sold to advertising companies. If you see new toolbars in your Internet Explorer that you haven’t intentionally installed, if your browser crashes inexplicably, or if your home page has been “hijacked” (or changed without your knowledge), your computer is most probably infected with spyware. Even if you don’t see the symptoms, your computer may be infected, because more and more spyware is emerging. Spybot-S&D is free, so there’s no harm giving it a try to see if something has invaded your computer.

The Pirate Bay has launched a new site, dedicated to hosting pictures online: BayImg.com ! They support about 140 different image file types, and also .zip and .rar files. Best of all: it’s completely free and uncensored! This is what they have to say about censorship: ” Well, we really think it is a big deal. Freedom of speech is our foundation. And it doesn’t come cheap. You might have heard that old quote by Evelyn Beatrice Hall; “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.” It’s really that simple. There are a lot of ugly opinions out there, but demoracy ain’t worth much without the right to express those opinions. There is this myth about freedom of speech being a nice comfortable idea, well it’s not. It’s annoying, appalling and sometimes even dangerous. But the opposite is way worse. “
Another month, another Pidgin. Pidgin (formerly Gaim) is a multi-protocol instant messaging (IM) client for Linux, BSD, MacOS X, and Windows. It is compatible with AIM and ICQ (Oscar protocol), MSN Messenger, Yahoo!, IRC, Jabber, Gadu-Gadu, SILC, Novell GroupWise Messenger, Lotus Sametime, and Zephyr networks. Gaim users can log in to multiple accounts on multiple IM networks simultaneously. This means that you can be chatting with friends on AOL Instant Messenger, talking to a friend on Yahoo Messenger, and sitting in an IRC channel all at the same time. Pidgin supports many features of the various networks, such as file transfer, away messages, and typing notification. It also goes beyond that and provides many unique features. A few popular features are Buddy Pounces, which give the ability to notify you, send a message, play a sound, or run a program when a specific buddy goes away, signs online, or returns from idle; and plugins, consisting of text replacement, a buddy ticker, extended message notification, iconify on away, spell checking, tabbed conversations, and more. Pidgin runs on a number of platforms, including Windows, Linux, and Qtopia (Sharp Zaurus and iPaq).
