Fight spam at server level: GFI MailEssentials

June 9th, 2008 Software 1 Comment
For a person, email spam may be just another day of 21st century where most well known email clients can keep the danger level well under control. But when it comes to server level spam protection, you really have to seat on the edge to keep up with the spammers. With fraudulent, inappropriate and offensive emails being delivered in vast quantities to businesses every day, spam protection is a vital component of your network’s security strategy. Spam wastes network users’ time and network resources, and can also be dangerous (especially since now days crooks deliver financial Trojans through mail- which can bring you down to your knees overnight). Most email server products provide limited monitoring, security, and anti-spam functions. In those that do, the feature set tends to be weak and seemingly implemented as an afterthought. However, the new GFI MailEssentials from GFI Software not only provides the most comprehensive anti-spam capabilities currently available, but also industrial-strength mail monitoring, the ability to add disclaimers to all outgoing messages, and more. Impressively, GFI provides many of the product’s best features as freeware, making GFI MailEssentials a must-evaluate product for administrators of both large and small networks alike. GFI MailEssentials managed to…

March 3rd, 2008 Software 5 Comments
Spyware sucks! Even the God dam! Spyware makers hate Spyware. You should be aware of that unlike viruses and worms, Spyware does not usually self-replicate. Like many recent viruses; however, Spyware—by design—exploits infected computers for commercial gain. Typical tactics furthering this goal include delivery of unsolicited pop-up advertisements; theft of personal information (including financial information such as credit card numbers); monitoring of Web-browsing activity for marketing purposes; or routing of HTTP requests to advertising sites. Many people have a misconception about Spyware that, since it don’t infect computer and rapidly spread it merely pose threat. Call it adware, Spyware or badware—for general user it’s always harmful, since it does invade his/her privacy none the less.

Flex 102: MXML basics

July 2nd, 2007 Software 1 Comment
This is the second session in the flex tutorial series. In “Flex 101: Knowing Flex” we just get to know Flex a bit closely. In this session we will focus on MXML basics, which is the key to any Flex application development. As you already know, MXML is a kind of XML markup language, which only used in Flex especially for layout user interface components. MXML vs. HTML Though for a new bi it may be hard to grasp, but honestly MXML isn’t so different than HTML. Just like HTML, MXML provides tags that define user interfaces. But MXML provides a much richer tag set, such as-data grids, data binding, trees, tab navigators, accordions, menus, animation effects etc. Not only that you will be even able to extend MXML with custom components (MXML + ActionScript) that you reference as MXML tags. The biggest difference between HTML and MXML is the outcome, the MXML defined applications are compiled into SWF (Flash file) files and rendered by Flash Player which you got to admit much more rich and dynamic than HTML. MXML coding You are a developer or not, you should know by now, every markup language follow their own coding standard,…

Flex 101: knowing Flex

June 25th, 2007 Software 2 Comments
There are plenty of Flex tutorials out there, still why another one? Simple in my opinion most of the Flex tutorial I came across with goes too deep/complex without creating a base of understanding. Flex isn’t HTML  that you can just learn it through so called -Dumb guide to Flex. To be able to use full potential of Flex you should be known to one or more of these- PHP, ASP,JSP, CSS, XML etc. No need to be master of those but at least familiar with them makes Flex application building a lot easier. Adobe documentation/tutorial that comes with Flex 2.0 builder is quite self explanatory, but might be hard to grasp for a newbie. Let us start the lesson by knowing the Flex a bit thoroughly than just overview. What is Flex? Flex is neither a programming language nor a scripting language. Flex is an IDE (Integrated development environment) and as well as a SDK (Software Development Kit) for the development and deployment of cross platform, RIA (Rich Internet applications) generally based on Flash. Initially it was developed by Macromedia, which is now own by Adobe Systems inc. Since April, 2007 Flex SDK is open source, but IDE still…
