CCleaner - Remove Crap from your PC

CCleanerWindows secretly logs the address of every website you visit in a hidden and protected file called index.dat. Since you cannot delete index.dat manually, you must try CCleaner.

CCleaner automatically removes unused files from your PC freeing up valuable hard disk space. CCleaner can also eliminate the AutoComplete form history and the IE index.dat files which are not deleted even when historical information is purged via the normal browser procedures.

The latest version of CCleaner provides secure file deletion and Windows HotFix Uninstaller cleaning.

CCleaner also erases cookies, URL history, and cached content from both Internet Explorer and Firefox. CCleaner gets rid of things like temp and log files, the list of recently-accessed documents, and Recycle Bin contents as well.

CCleaner can scan for and remove extraneous or orphaned Registry entries, including file extensions, ActiveX Controls, uninstallers, shared DLLs, fonts, help files, application paths, icons, and invalid shortcuts.

CCleaner also cleans temporary files from a number of applications, including Media Player, eMule, Firefox, Kazaa, Google Toolbar, Netscape, Office XP, Nero, Adobe Acrobat, WinRAR, WinAce, and WinZip.

How to Download Contacts from Facebook To Outlook Address Book

Facebook users are not too pleased with the "walled garden" approach of Facebook. The reason is simple - while you can easily import your Outlook address book and GMail contacts into Facebook, the reverse path is closed. There's no "official" way to export your Facebook friends email addresses or contact phone numbers out as a CSV file so that you can sync the contacts data with Outlook, GMail or your BlackBerry.

PhishTank Detects Phishing Websites by Digg Style Voting

OpenDNS, a free service that helps anyone surf the Internet faster with a simple DNS tweak , will announce PhishTank today. PhishTank is a free public database of phishing URLs where anyone can submit their phishes via email or through the website. The submissions are verified by the other community members who then vote for the suspected site. This is such a neat idea as sites can be categorized just based on user feedback without even having to manually verify each and every submission. PhishTank employs the "feedback loop" mechanism where users will be kept updated with the status' of the phish they submit either via email alerts or a personal RSS feed . Naturally, once the PhishTank databases grows, other sites can harness the data using open APIs which will remain free. OpenDNS would also use this data to improve their existing phishing detection algorithms which are already very impressive and efficient. PhishTank | PhishTank Blog [Thanks Allison] Related: Google
