McAfee AVERT Stinger 10.1.0.1028

Stinger is a stand-alone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses. It is not a substitute for full anti-virus protection, but rather a tool to assist administrators and users when dealing with an infected system. Stinger utilizes next generation scan engine technology, including process scanning, digitally signed DAT files, and scan performance optimizations.

This version of Stinger includes specific detection and repair for W32/Polip only. At this time, because of the nature of the infection algorithm, repair of files infected with W32/Polip may not return the files to their pristine, pre-infected state, and can cause problems with self-checking applications.

VideoCacheView 1.77

After watching a video in a Web site, you may want to save the video file into your local disk for playing it offline in the future. If the video file is stored in your browser's cache, this utility can help you to extract the video file from the cache and save it for watching it in the future.

It automatically scans the entire cache of Internet Explorer and Mozilla-based Web browsers (Including Firefox) and finds all video files that are currently stored in it. It allows you to easily copy the cached video files into another folder for playing/watching them in the future. If you have a movie player that is configured to play flv files, it also allows you to play the video directly from your browser's cache.

Known Problems And Limitations:
- In some Video Web sites, including YouTube, the video files are not always saved in the cached by the Web browser. When the video file is not saved in the cache, you won't be able to watch it or to copy it to another folder.

- If you use a Web browser based on Mozilla (including Firefox), VideoCacheView will provide a link to download the video file, even if the file itself is not stored in the cache. Due to technical limitation, this feature is not available for Internet Explorer browser.
For Mozilla-based Web browser (including Firefox), you should close the Web browser in order to view the latest video files that you watched.
