For some reasons and requirements, I occasionally need to reinstall Windows OS. That usually requires to correct the system time clock immediately, otherwise, the Windows time will automatically use the production time of your motherboard (i.e.: your BIOS time) as its default time. However, the very few built-in Internet time servers of Microsoft Windows are not functioning properly in many parts of the world due to the Internet blockade or some other reasons.

[v2.5] PDF-XChange Viewer – Small, very fast and feature-rich PDF reader

For programs with the same functionality, the smaller, faster ones are always more popular. If Foxit Reader ended Adobe Reader’s future relying on its smaller file size and faster running speed, then PDF-XChange Viewer is considered to be the killer of Foxit Reader for the same reason.

VestaCP – Very popular and powerful alternative of cPanel

As of writing this post (at least 5 months ago), AppNee is officially ready to move to a VPS hosting. But because the server administrator was accustomed to use the popular, simple and friendly inbuilt cPanel web hosting control panel (WHCP) on a shared hosting, at the very start, operating a VPS under the command line (via Linux Terminal) is confusing, very ungainly and inefficient.

Process Hacker – Advanced alternative of Windows Task Manager

Today’s viruses, trojans and many other malicious software are much smarter and more shrewd than ever before. In other words, the traditional methods of identifying suspicious processes such like by checking the startup items have been far from enough. For example, they have been used to embed themselves into system processes, inject into driver files, disguise as system services, and so on, so as to implement autorun and bypass the scanning and killing of most anti-virus software. As a consequence, we could see that more and more antivirus software AIDS came into popular.
