Eset Smart Security Beta 4 available for download

by Lee Mathews Nov 26th 2008

Eset has released the first public beta downloads of their excellent Smart Security suite. It's available for both 32 and 64-bit Windows systems.

The list of enhancements in the new version is lengthy, including:

a new device driver has been added which can remove malware at boot time
improved scanning of files over 2gb, network files, and Microsoft Office documents
hardened kernel service that better resists malicious tampering attempts
scanning of SSL-encrypted SMTP and POP3 email, as well as IMAP mail
support for Windows Live Mail and Mozilla Thunderbird
better support for Windows Vista's UAC
a "Watch Activity" pane shows File and Network Activity and can graph by hour, minute, or second
addition of a text-mode UI with keyboard navigation

Among numerous new features and improvements to the antivirus/malware protection, the suite now also includes Eset's SysInspector, an excellent system diagnostic, monitoring, and reporting tool. Antispam and firewall features are also included in the package, as is the SysRescue tool which can create bootable rescude media.

Though Eset has yet to announce an official release date, my Beta 4 install license reports that it will remain valid until March 2, 2009.

I installed the beta and got it working, but I can't seem to be able to get any updates. The username is updv4 or something like that. Anyone else facing the same problem?

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
