Shortcut to msconfig
"How do I put a shortcut to the System Configuration Utility (msconfig) on my Start menu so I don't have to type "msconfig" in the Run box?"
Right-click the desktop and select New, Shortcut to start the Create Shortcut wizard. In the 'Command line' field, enter msconfig (in Windows 98 and Me),
or
c:\windows\pchealth\helpctr\binaries\msconfig (in XP). Finish stepping through the wizard, making your own choices. Once you have the shortcut on your desktop, simply drag it to your Start menu.
(Note that Windows 2000 lacks the System Configuration Utility.)
Voila!
handy, very handy!

The Antispyware Workshop, hosted by CNET Download.com, will provide an opportunity for the industry's key players to come together for a day of active and open dialogue about the current and future state of antispyware. Held at the W Hotel San Francisco on May 3rd, 2005, this full day workshop of relevant and timely sessions will ask and provide clarity to the tough questions: How are spyware and adware being defined and what are acceptable behaviors? Will legislation help regulate the industry? Is spyware okay as long as it's disclosed to the user? Where's the money? What is the future of antispyware?

What is SuperKaramba?
SuperKaramba is, in simple terms, a tool that allows you to easily create interactive eye-candy on your KDE desktop. Currently, only linux is officially supported.
How does it work?
Theme writers create themes, or text files that define their widget. Then, they can optionally add python scripting to make their widget interactive. The possibilities are endless!
Here are just some examples of the things that can be done:
* Display system information such as CPU Usage, MP3 playing, etc.
* Create cool custom toolbars that work any way imaginable
* Create little games or virtual pets that live on your desktop
* Display information from the internet, such as weather and headlines
The possibilities really are endless!

Kaspersky Lab begins beta testing of three new versions of Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux, FreeBSD and OpenBSD
Kaspersky Lab, a leading developer of secure content management solutions, announces the launch of beta testing of three new versions of Kaspersky® Anti-Virus, designed to protect email and file servers, as well as workstations, running on the Linux, FreeBSD, and OpenBSD operating systems – Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux FreeBSD, and OpenBSD Mail Server, Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux FreeBSD, and OpenBSD File Server and Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux FreeBSD, and OpenBSD Workstations.The programs allow for the effective detection and neutralization of malicious code in all objects on a file server, workstation and mail server, which includes a user friendly process of automatic updates from the antivirus database, as well as a flexible antivirus configuration program.
Kaspersky Anti-Virus for Linux FreeBSD, and OpenBSD Mail Server, File Server and Workstation contain a range of functions, including the scanning of all incoming and outgoing SMTP traffic, which neutralizes malware in infected messages, while providing configuration options for filtering mail according to predefined rules.
Kavmonitor, (on-access scanner), a totally new component, supports real-time system scanning, and identifies and quarantines all suspicious objects, thereby minimizing the likelihood of malware infiltration of a network. In the updated version it is possible to choose between three types of antivirus databases – standard, expanded and super secure sets Riskware, (i.e., adware, legal software that has been used by hackers and other potentially hazardous programs) are detected using the latter two options.....
