I was just looking at that, and it seems interesting... but I saw some stuff, and nothing is of interest to me. I got a dock for XP, and that's all I have on my desktop.

(I will try that myself for an answer, but I'm asking this rhetorical question as food for thought.)
I don't know if this has been answered somewhere in the forum but it is not iexplore.exe that is the main component of ie but a system file called shdocvw.dll.I did some delphi coding before,even coded a browser based on ie using this as the main component.
So my contribution to this thread would be ieradicator.It completely removed internet explorer.USE THIS WITH CAUTION!

http://virusscan.jotti.org/

Has Jotti's malware scan 2.99

Scan files up to a 15 MB.

Does a scan with that utilizes all products listed here.
AntiVir
ArcaVir
Avast
AVG Antivirus
BitDefender
ClamAV
Dr.Web
F-Prot Antivirus
Fortinet
Kaspersky Anti-Virus
NOD32
Norman Virus Control
UNA
VBA32

Just another site to get a 2nd scan from if you have something come up from doing a scan on your PC about a file and want to check other places about what you may have. But better because you upload the file and do not have to do a very long online scan of your whole PC again when all you want is do check out a file.

ZonedOut 1.0

The Menus








Why ZonedOut is useful?

If you are using any program (e.g. SpywareBlaster, Spybot Search & Destroy) or file (e.g. IE-SPYAD) that add list of bad sites in Internet Explorer's restricted zone, you will find ZonedOut useful! There are times we want to whitelist a site but the Internet Explorer's restricted sites' manager do not have “search utility“. You will find yourself scrolling or mess with Windows Registry Editor or use notepad to manually edit out what you don't want to be in restricted sites. With ZonedOut's search function, you'll just search for the URL and viola, you can delete it using ZonedOut or add it in whitelist. The whitelist editor will keep the URL for you. The next time a new definition or updated restricted sites is released, you don't need to do it all over again. It can be imported as a complete list or parsed against your whitelist.

There are more useful functions in ZonedOut that I'm sure user's of IE-SPYAD or other program that adds restricted sites will enjoy. Get it.. it's free from Funkytoad.com

Funkytoad.com authored Hoster and IniBeast. Hoster is another utility to manage your HOST file while IniBeast is ini file tweaker.

Disclosure: I admit, I'm involved in the making of ZonedOut. No, I don't know programming. It's only my idea. I've been looking for such utility to manage restricted sites ... easier and I gave up looking for it because there is nada (as per Google OK? ). I contacted Todd and beg to “please create a restricted site manager utility“. Todd is one of administrator over in Gladiator Security Forums (visit us there!..). Thanks Todd for granting my request. Wait for my next request Todd :P

Hi All:
Please note that you cannot use ZonedOut with the current version of IE-SPYAD, because ZonedOut requires a plain text domains list -- IE-SPYAD is currently formatted as a Registry file.

Also, please do not try to use ZonedOut with the plain text AGNIS Sites list that's available from the same download page. Although the AGNIS Sites list is a plain text domains list, a number of the CoolWebSearch IP address ranges are not compatible with ZonedOut as presently formatted. If you uninstall your standard IE-SPYAD list and install the AGNIS Sites list with ZonedOut, you will vastly increase your exposure to CoolWebSearch exploits.

I will be building a plain text domains list that is compatible with ZonedOut in the next day or so. Please wait until that list has been released.
Best,
Eric L. Howes

An excellent free file comparison tool : ExamDiff from www.prestosoft.com

Useful when you want to check the entries added or altered in the registry when you've just installed a software (beware, some softwares add or alter entries when they are launched for the first time).

Found this after downloading and readint the readme.

Freeware version of ExamDiff Pro is called ExamDiff. It doesn't have all
the features of ExamDiff Pro, such as directory comparison. ExamDiff can
be downloaded from http://www.prestosoft.com/ps.asp?page=edp_examdiff.

I got CSDiff nd it is free.
