Paint.NET v3.5 Alpha build 3424

Changes since version 3.36:

* Now requires (and uses!) .NET Framework 3.5 SP1.
* Significant improvements to the installer. Prerequisites are now handled in a much more user-friendly fashion (it's no longer "go to the Microsoft website and decipher geek talk and download stuff")
* The auto-updater can now download in the background, and then install the update after you've exited Paint.NET. Compare this to v3.36 and earlier that jump in your face and require the download and installation to happen right now, and block you from using the program until it's done!
* New effect: Blurs -> Surface Blur, by Ed Harvey
* New effect: Distort -> Dents, by Ed Harvey
* New effect: Distort -> Crystalize, by Ed Harvey
* The responsiveness of effect dialogs has been greatly improved.
* When zoomed-in, the rendering quality has been substantially improved. http://blog.getpaint.net/2008/12/07/pai ... zoomed-in/
* When zoomed in, it is now much easier to correctly resize or move a selection.
* Improved performance when opening multiple images, especially for systems with only 1 processor. http://blog.getpaint.net/2008/09/11/pai ... humbnails/
* Memory usage has been greatly reduces when more than one image is open.
* The selection outline is no longer animated, which substantially reduces CPU usage. It also uses XOR blending.
* The middle mouse button can now be used to close an image tab
* Improved the Unfocus effect
* Fixed an issue with Gaussian Blur and its treatment of alpha values
* Fixed a crash with the "Units" selector in the toolbar area
* Added a "Utilities" menu, and moved the following menu items there: Check for Updates, Language chooser, and View Plugin Load Errors. For the alpha release, there are also menu items for "Force Crash" and "Perform Full GC" (you'll know what that means if you're a developer -- Otherwise it isn't interesting).
* Installer now has a "Start Paint.NET" checkbox at the end. (On Vista and Win7 with UAC enabled, it will correctly start Paint.NET at non-elevated privilege.)
* Renamed "Grid" to "Pixel Grid", to more accurately describe its functionality.
* The DirectDraw Surface (.DDS) file type now allows you to select the resampling algorithm for auto-generated mip-maps
* Effect plugins now have access to a "Services" property which allows them to properly access certain internal Paint.NET functionality.
* Fixed some very small memory leaks when opening many images
* Russian translation. http://blog.getpaint.net/2009/02/26/rus ... -paintnet/
* A processor that supports SSE is now required (almost all CPU's purchased this decade satisfy this)

SRWare Iron 2.0.178.0

SRWare Iron: The browser of the future - based on the free Sourcecode "Chromium" - without any problems at privacy and security

Google's Web browser Chrome thrilled with an extremely fast site rendering, a sleek design and innovative features. But it also gets critic from data protection specialists , for reasons such as creating a unique user ID or the submission of entries to Google to generate suggestions. SRWare Iron is a real alternative. The browser is based on the Chromium-source and offers the same features as Chrome - but without the critical points that the privacy concern.

We could therefore create a browser with which you can now use the innovative features without worrying about your privacy.

We want our users to participate in our work and make the browser free to download under the name "SRWare Iron" into the net.

emule.exe Mods and BT Software safety scan @sharereactor.ru

I ensure this page does not have any Trojans or Virus in Mods. Every single Mod have been scanned with Virustotal.com. If an exepacker/protector have been found which can be suspicious signs of hiding a kind of Trojan in c++ coded software, unpacking tips and remarks are published as well.
Leecher mods exist since ever it doesn't mean any bad. Some mods are performed to release the full power of upload speed not only download (no limit in sharing partfiles by powerrelease etc...).

If you found any form of possible Trojan, Virus please click contact us link and we will check it instantly and try to unpacking for deep analysis of the pe (exe, dll) files.

Up to now known suspicious Mods, done with exe protectors are:
- Early Versions of all Applejuice Mods (shown false positive after unpacking) include IL reverse engineered AJ mods // Shows the exe protector caused false positive
- eMule eXcalibur
- eMule BigBan / eMule PRO (Protector: Obsidium)
- 3 or 4 minor Board mods (the links are removed)

Category others (no exe protector/packer, but malicious functions):
- Newer eMule Applejuice Mod Versions // Some Tracking Cookies download automatically from the embedded Mod Webbrowser and collect user data (info for Advertiser only?), Embedded Ads scripts/codes collect user info.
- Some VeryCD mods // patch (makes changes) without user interrupt on a Windows system file tcpip.sys connection limit + installs a BHO as soon emule.exe executed.
- some eMule (mods) Installers (we never publish installer versions). // Toolbars and Ads can be installed with it. Our Advice: unpack the installer with uniextract than take just the application .exe, delete 'unknown' rest content.

If be not more sure how to deal with 'unknown' binaries use tools like PE identifier and scan exe/dll's before executing any new files. My suggestion use Exeinfo PE from A.S.L. which can as well show some embedded url's in files. Test file to open in PE Explorer if this fails, it's packed and or pe protected as in shareware and hacked software used.
Another sign, eMule.exe is usually above 5 MB in size, not many get it in real below 5 mb by compiling. Test emule.exe files in sizes smaller than 5.03 MB and bigger as 6.7 MB.

Submit a comment under the topics so that people can do an eye on the file.

( packer: Armadillo 6.0x (exe) 32bit / MS c++ v8 fake pe signature , unpack: ollydbg script?! - it's Not C++ v8! )



But after I found this story on Shareactor about my page that I not carefully scan emule mods for trojans, viruses before publishing, which get not more out of my brain in combination with Trojans. I ask me what about the most wide spread eMule mod Applejuice. Up to the latest Version with autostart the embedded Webbroser and Ads tracking cookie. As soon the mod start the tracing cookie is active. We all know click-streaming and the way cookies can behave. 3 and more different Advertiser Companies in the back of thousands of users of this Mod. The Mod is published in the public since years in its actual Versions on the biggest traffic sites such as: chip.eu , www.freeware-base.de , chip.asia , chip.de , hundreds maybe thousands more... http://www.google.com/search?q=emule+applejuice ( Google alone shows 41.800 Search results for emule applejuice. Yahoo Search 99,600 results for emule applejuice, another 19.500 by Live Search )
Applejuice Mod have all Xtreme features + tons of Leecher features. With the right setting undetectable. More than 40.000 Downloads per Version on just a few high traffic Software sites on Toplevel domains in all possible Languages.
