Free Mobile Phone Unlocking Software


Usually when you go to a specialized store you are offered the mobile phone together with a monthly paid subscription contract. But if you want only to buy the device without acquiring the services, too, then you will have an unlocked mobile phone, nice and smart but that does not work. In this case or in the case when you get the phone as a gift form a friend, you must do something to unlock it, that is if you want to use it. There is always the possibility to phone at some numbers that overcharge you or buy the right software that can help you unlock the mobile phone. But why should you pay for something that you can find for free on the internet? Just make sure that when you are looking for such free mobile phone unlocking software don't call any phone numbers that overcharge you and in fact they do exactly what you can do by yourself and take your money, too. Also it is wise to avoid web sites that are requesting you to pay a certain fee in order to become a member if you want free access to the wanted software. Don't worry, you will find totally free of charge software if you look with enough patience for this.

There are two possibilities to find out the right code that will unlock your mobile phone so that you can use it as soon as possible: the first possibility is to download the software on your computer and then to introduce the fifteen digits number of your IMEI in the unlocking code calculator. But what exactly is this IMEI? IMEI is an acronym for International Mobile Equipment Identity and is an international "Serial number" for your phone and it is usually used for its identification. It is similar to people's social security number if I may say so as a comparison. Your phone IMEI can be found at the back of the phone behind the battery. Or you can aslo find it if you press *#06#* on your phone keyboard and then press "enter" or "dial". But in case your phone displays more than 15 digits for your IMEI , you must use only the first fifteen without any spaces or dashes used. Make sure you use the right numbers, that is the digits on the back of the phone and not the ones on the back of the box in which the phone was bought, as these two numbers are different and this will not help you. After you right the ISEI number in the little window opened by the software, press eneter and you will be displayed the right code for your phone to be unlocked.

The other option is the online Nokia unlock key generator that you can find here. Then all you have to do is enter the IMEI, the model of your phone and the country (these two can be selected from a list) and you will immediately see the right code for unlocking your phone. Some web sites, however, provide this code only by email in a matter of minutes.

As you can see, Nokia has been one of the few companies that officially offered free codes for unlocking their phones, but you can also find the codes for other phone models and brands, but this time not on an official web site, but provided thanks to other web sites. For example www.cnet.com offers you the possibility to download free mobile phone unlocking software that allows you to find the right code for unlocking your phone and at the same time to use whatever phone company you like, without being restricted by a subscription. You may even change multiple SIM cards on your phone to use different mobile phone networks. The software offered here for free allows you to find the unlocking code for over 2000 models of mobile phones and in 30 countries. This is an amazing data base, very helpful for mobile phone users. It is even more useful as it includes such brands as Blackberry, Motorola, Sagem, Smartphone, etc and tries to cover as many mobile phone networks as possible.



If you can't find your phone model among the ones listed in the above mentioned software application, you may search Google for free DCT4 calculator . This amazing softwareis in the public domain and the person who wrote it only left a nickname, as he or she did not want any credit or money for this, but just wanted to help people. My guess is that this person has a similar problem with a locked mobile phone and was so pissed off that he couldn't find the right code for unlocking it, that he made this software himself just for this purpose. Anyway, this software can help you find what you are looking for, again with the help of that 15 digit number called IMEI and all the other information necessary regarding your phone brand, country and so on. Being public domain software, this software is supposed to be free for personal use, but it must not be used for commercial purposes, that is to use it in order to make money by selling the public domain product. However, there are some people who took advantage of this FREE software , downloaded it and used it to offer unlock codes for a certain fee. Pay attention to all the terms and conditions of such web sites offering to give you unlock codes, but also asking you to pay for this service, as you can do it yourself for free.



There are some serious companies, like Samsung for example, that offer their clients an online service of this kind for providing unlocking codes. As you can see from the picture above this is a remote client service and it is offered for Samsung clients only. Be honest with the people from that company and tell them that you purchased the phone because you like the brand, but you found some other phone company to offer better deals or simply that you received the device as a gift. They will give you the necessary code for unlocking the phone if you supply them the information they need. Just access the web site advertised in the picture and they will guide you what to do next, giving you step by step directions.



One last piece of advice: if you have such a locked mobile phone from an untrustworthy person, make sure the device is locked because it has never been used before and it is not blocked. It is a big difference because a phone is blocked if it has been stolen and its previous owner has reported it stolen, hence it has been blocked.

Free CD Burner Software


CDs are removable devices for storing information or transporting data from one place to another. Actually nowadays CDs are less used than few years ago because of the apparition of DVDs. Since DVDs appeared these optical devices , the CDs , were used only occasionally or in those places where they just culdn't afford a DVD, as it is more expensive than a CD. On the other hand the CD has less storage capacity and lower quality of the photos, video and eudio files. When this technology appeared here were only CD burner software programmes available, but now most such software applications can burn both CDs and DVDs. Usually they are used for copying data from a hard drive if you want to back it up in case the data gets lost from the hard drive or maybe you want to share some of your files with your friends and you have to burn a CD for that. You can even create special audio CDs with audio files, ready to be listened on your CD player.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
There are a lot of software packages that you can use to burn a CD, but why spend some money on it when you can do this for free? You can find so many free options out there on the internet, that it is just not worth it. The features are very similar and only professionals need the extra features offered by the paid software. Even the Windows XP offers a free CD burner software that you can use for making the copies that you like, called CD Burner XP.

Actually there are many web sites that offer you free cd burner software for downloading, either as freeware or free trial. If you are interested in downloading such software you can visit the following web sites: www.pchell.com, www.techsupportalert.com, www.vidmar.net, www.softpedia.com and www.cnet.com.

If you want to take advantage of a 30 day trial and see what a very good CD burner software package can offer, you can visit www.softpedia.com and download the free trial of Nero. You will be able to try all the features offered by this software and maybe after the trial period you will want to purchase it. Anyway, I recommend you to do the same with every software package purchased: try first in order to know exactly what you are buying. In my opinion and in a lot of experts opinion, Nero is one of the best offers in the field of CD and DVD burner software. Besides being very good, Nero is also very easy to use and install and very user friendly, which can be very important, especially for inexperienced people, but who still want to make their own free CD copies in the comfort of their homes. This software is able to burn a lot of different files on your CD and it can also make the necessary changes in order to get the best results. For example if you want to make an audio CD, you have to convert the compressed audio files (MP3 ) into CDA format. With Nero this happens automatically and you no longer have to change any settings. Exactly the same thing happens when you want to burn a video CD: the compressed files on your hard drive are automatically converted into MPEG-1 format without your direct intervention over the settings.



This is just perfect, as many people don't know how to do this.You can also make bootable CDs and hybrid CDs, not to mention burning the rewritable CDs or simply make a copy of an existing CD. This is the most simple application of a free CD burner software, however not all such software offer it. What could be simpler than inserting a data CD into your CD player together with a blank CD into your CD writer and copying the data from the first CD to the second? You have the possibility to create ISO files if you don't have a CD available right at the moment, so you can make the selection wanted and save it as an image of the future CD, waiting for you to decide when to burn it on a CD. Once you decided to burn a CD you have to make the selection of the files you want to burn on that particular CD. Well, it's easy as clid's games. Nero Start Smart opens a double window with one side for the files you want to add and one for the files on your computer. You just choose the right files, drag and drop them in the other section. At the same time you can see the estimation of the space left on the CD, that is you know instantly if you can add some more files or you can stop or even remove some too large files. Then press "Burn" and that is all. Simple, right? The only disadvantage of this software is that you can use this free trial only for a limited amount of time, because after that you have to buy a licensed software package.



Some people consider ImgBurn to be the best free CD burner software. You can download it for free here and enjoy all the features offered by it. The first very important feature is that it can burn any kind of modern optical disc starting with CD and finishing with Blue ray. I consider it of utmost importance as you can use the software for other purposes, too, apart from burning CDs, as you can't burn a DVD for example with a CD  writer software, but you can burn a CD with a DVD writer software. Besides, this is new technology and this always means it is more advanced , hence a lot better. With this softwre you can burn more than ten image formats, so no restrictions regarding the content. You can use it on rewritable discs, which is very useful as you don't want to throw your money out of the window on CDs that you can burn only once if you only need to transfer some data from one computer to another for example.



You can make any compilation of files you want to and after that burn it on your CD - you have total freedom in this area. You can produce audio and video CDs from a variety of files formats or types. But the variety of options comes with a cost: the intricate interface that does not allow you to see right away some important features like erasing a rewritable disc and you have to spend some time looking for this command, if you are not accustomed with the interface. But the fact that you can use this software for free compensates for this small inconvenience.

In conclusion, there are a lot of options if you are looking foe some free CD burner software and all you have to do is to decide which one is the most suitable for your skills and needs.

Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool


The new diseases spread rapidly especially if people are not protected against them. When a new disease appears it affects people a lot because they do not have anitbodies developed to protect them and distroy the viruses. Look what happened with the swine flu: it spread rapidly and affected people from all over the world. And this is no new thing; the same thing happened with the flu who killed a big part of the native  Americans when the Europeans first came to the New World. That is exactly what happens with our computers when a new computer virus is spread in the cyber space: our computers are not potected from them and that is where we, the users and masters, must interfere. We are the ones to provide the medicine or the antidote, that is the malicious software removal tool.
<-300x250 Medium Rectangle - center->
Microsoft, as a respectable and great computer company developed a kind of weapon against malicious software , called Microsoft malicious software removal tool , that is able to identify and "remove", that is destroy all the malicious software detected on the computer where it is installed. It is designed especially for Windows operating systems ( Windows 2000, XP, Windows 7, Windows Vista and Windows server 2003 ) and cannot help the other operating systems that run on computers all over the world. It can be downloaded for free from the official web site of Microsoft, www.microsoft.com and installed on your computer where it acts like a shield, protecting it from malware. After all the logo of this tool looks like a shield coloured in the traditional Microsoft colours,as you can see in the picture above. Microsoft also offers permanent updates for the Microsoft malicious software removal tool, usually once a month, every second Tuesday. You are strongly advised to update the Microsoft malicious software removal tool installed on your computer as there are new viruses appearing every single day.

In fact the main job of this software is to quickly scan the system and find if any malware has penetrated it. If it can find some, it will remove it and then send you a short report about its latest activity. The software runs quietly in the background of the system and only reacts when it detects some malicious software. This software is only scanning for the most powerful and well-known computer viruses and cannot replace a strong antivirus software, but it rather completes it. An antivirus software scans for all kinds of malware, not only for the most important ones and it offers protection and removal instruments. Even if Microsoft malicious software removal tool is usually acting in an automatic way and makes a quick scan after you download it and install it on your computer, you can also set up the in depth scanning manually if you feel there is something wrong and need to find out if some bad viruses entered your computer. After the complete scanning of the system, the software will remove any files that are considered to be malicious, according to their identification with the viruses data base which is permanently updated. In the end you will be notified of all the actions performed on your computer the next time you open it.

Microsoft Corporation decided to release this product on the market at the beginning of the year 2005 with the purpose of protecting the users who do not own an antivirus yet. it was meant more for the individual users rather than for corporations, as big corporations always have very strong anovirus software installed on their servers. It is a kind of helful tool for the personal use of the people who do not own such antivirus software under licence. It is , like I said, very helpful in finding and deleting the big malicious threats, but it is useless in the case of unknown or little known malware, as it relies only on the virus data base, while the antivirus software has additional tools for identifying such harmful software.



Free Download Microsoft Malicious Software Removal Tool 3.3 is the latest version of this Microsoft product a-updated in january 2010 and can also be downloaded for free on www.softsea.com as freeware. It is appreciated by people who used it as some very useful and efficient software that protects your computer from getting harmed. Even if it is not considered to be the strongest protection software , it can detect such prevalent malicious programmes like Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom.



In conclusion you should always use this kind of programme ( if you are a Windows user, of course) in addition to a strong useful antivirus software because you must always keep your computer protected from any malware you can come across on the internet. The internet is the proper environment for releasing computer viruses and other malware and they rapidly spread by any means : emails, apparently harmless software, adds, attachments and so on. So it is strongly recommended to have your computer system scanned frequently, even if it seems to work just fine, as some of these malicious software can't be detected as easily and they do not affect the overall functioning of the computer and you only detect them when it is too late. So it is better to be safe than sorry and have our computer safe than have no antivirus software installed and risk losing all the data on the hard drive or any such unpleasant consequences of the infection with a computer virus or other kind of malicious software.
