The Chinese iPhone, or rather, iClone

The Chinese cloners are world famous. Popular Science covered their latest product: the Meizu miniOne, easier to remember by iClone.
Turns out that Meizu, the company building the new phone, has a goal that's a little different from the other cloners: they not only copy the iPhone, they actually intend to improve the features.
As their skills develop, one day you might actually prefer the cloners' work over the official product, not just because of the price, but because of the quality.
Sooner or later. Who knows?

Best Vista AntiSpyware

"WTF?!" You must be thinkin'. "A whole #@$!#%@$^*&^@$!^& week!"

Well, don't give up on me just yet.

I'm beginning to doubt PC World's quality, especially after I read the article about 20 system clean-up tools, which did not include CCleaner, EasyCleaner, or CleanUp.

I did take the time, however, to read the article "Die, Spyware, Die!", which was based upon the data of AV-Test.org.

Turns out that AVG AntiSpyware did quite well, much to my surprise. Spyware Sweeper kinda failed the thing, though, and Spyware Doctor grabs the crown, surprising no one that I know of.

Still, they missed SuperAntiSpyware and CounterSpy, two decent programs that deserve all the attention.

Here's the article, and, more important, the comparison chart.

P.S. If you still don't know, you could actually download a free version Spyware Doctor. More info here.

Holy s***!!

I know, I know, this is a tech blog, but damn!! Look at that!

Vundo-Fix!

Well it turned out that I need to post a guide for fixing Vundo, which is responsible for DriveCleaner pop-ups (see my last post).
There you go.

@ Vundo-Fix download link

1. Run Vundo-Fix.exe by double-clicking on it.
2. When Vundo-Fix opens, click on the "Scan for Vundo" button.
3. Once the scanning finishes, click on the "Remove Vundo" button.
4. You'll get a prompt asking if you want to remove the files, just click yes.
5. Your desktop will go blank as it removes Vundo.
6. Once completed, it'll prompt to reboot your computer, click on ok.

@ Vundo-Fix might encounter a file that it cannot remove.
If that's the case, Vundo-Fix will have to run on reboot, just follow the instructions above starting from number 2 when Vundo-Fix starts on reboot.
