There is this free Spyware and Adware Detection & Removal Software that comes highly recommended. It’s called Adware Killer. Adware Killer detects a multitude of spyware, adware, Trojan horses, keyloggers, and trackware components, sources of irritation that many antivirus products do not deal with.

Adware Killer is a really easy to use software that helps deal with almost all Spyware components out there today! And the user interface is really nice.

The fact that it also features BHO Manager, Startup Manager, and HostsFile Manager makes it a must have. I also love the fact that it can quarantine and restore removed items. In fact it gives you an option to ignore the list of items it displays. One other nice thing about adware killer is that it scans running processes (memory), Registry, Fixed, and removable drives.

Being a 3D expert I’m always keen to hear about new 3D object creation software. I was aware of SketchUp before, but now of course it is a Google product and the engine of choice for making new objects for Google Earth.

The program is a simple but powerful tool for rapid prototyping of objects. Just make the shapes and pull them around in the interface. Colour and texture are easily editable. And also lighting is easy to adjust and preview. In fact real-time shadow casting lets you see exactly where the sun falls on your object as you work.

There are a huge amount of pre-drawn shapes to get you going, so you get a leg up into a job rather than having to start from scratch all the time. Once you’ve built your models, you can place them in Google Earth or post them to the 3D Warehouse.

The program works with both Mac or PC and you can get it here.
