New Scary Virus *Please Read*

One of my friends recently got infected with a pretty scary, and very hard (almost impossible) virus to remove. I have been doing all I can to help him remove this virus, but the only solution we got to was re-formatting his hard drive. But I managed to get some of the infected files using ClamwinPortable, so I have been submitting them to as many virus programs as possible to be analyzed. So far I believe they have been making progress, as now many of these files are being detected by most popular virus scanners. I also submitted them to microsoft to be analyzed.

I don't think I can get any clearer than that.

Okay. for example, if you download Firefox Portable And browser to [x]:\PortableApps\FirefoxPortable\App\AppInfo\

If you set the view to Tiles in the Folder views it displays the firefox icon as a 48x48 icon.... but.... it doesn't look all weird and blown up (like the result of if you blow up somebody's avvie on portableapps.com to a 48x48).

How is this possible?

Image zoom clarity program

Submitted by getco on December 25, 2008 - 4:00pm

Hey - do you know of any programs that can clarify a zoomed image... you know like the stuff we see in movies where a special software somehow manages to actually zoom the picture without making it all pixels?

Hopefully you understand what I mean - if not I'll try to explain further maybe with some images...

Clipboard Manager: Import/Export?

Clipboard Managers have always been a bit frustrating for me because I'm unable to quickly Import/Export the text(this doesn't apply to anything else) of it's database and I would like a Clipboard Program that my have these kind of features.

The database or Import/Export files would be labeled like usual but inside the format would be like.
