This small tool can be used to find files that have alternate ADS streams attached. ADS is a technology used to store additional data related to files, and has a lot of legit uses by the system already. So this tool will only find those ADS entries that are of the user type "alternate", which is sometimes used by spyware, malware and viruses.

Important: if you let this tool scan your whole hard disk, this may take some time in which it may even appear frozen (remember, for each file on your NTFS hard disk, there are usually at least 3 hidden legit ADS streams). Please be patient, it will continue.

This small tool helps us finding files that do use typical CoolWebSearch characteristics. When you're infected with a new variant of CWS and mail one of our detectives, he may ask you to run it to scan for suspicious files that could be CWS (just enter the search path and press the button as can be seen on the screenshot), and mail them back to him. The results will be stored in an archive file on the desktop, named suspicious-files.cab, just like this example one:

Update: if you right-click on the scan button (move your mouse over that button and use the right mouse button), SFL will allow you to do an ADS scan as well. The file created from those results will be named suspicious-ads-files.cab.

This small tool was designed for helping novice users to send us files requested for further analysis. Instead of asking those users to manually gather all files and create an archive of them, the user can paste a list received from us by mail into this tool, and it will create an archive with these files and a small log on the desktop.

KnightHop is a small but very addictive game from Enrico, our Italian translator, and is based on the rules of the Knight chessman.

Writing Polish on a German keyboard is quite tricky, as the German layout is QWERTZ based while the Polish layout is QWERTY based. But not only Y and Z are switched, most non-alpha keys are used differently as well. To be able to write both German and Polish on a German keyboard without too many tricks, I created this small keyboard layout for Windows XP (probably will work on 2000 as well). It defines additional dead keys - apostrophe and reversed apostrophe plus acelnosz - and Ctrl plus Alt plus acelnosz, resulting in ±æê³ñ󶼿 to be easily available on QWERTZ keyboards.

MPK is a small collection of utilities I needed for tweaking Mozilla settings. The download available is the first tool available in this series, targeted at Thunderbird mostly (but should work with Mozilla as well).

When you've got more than one Thunderbird account, I'm pretty sure you know how annoying it is that accounts are displayed in their order of creation, without the option to change it. Meanwhile Thunderbird at least has a built-in identity manager, allowing you multiple identities per account, but still if you have multiple accounts, you need to edit the prefs.js file to change their order. This small tool allows you to do exactly that.

Instructions: upon starting this tool, it will ask you to locate your prefs.js file. This usually can be found at C:\Documents And Settings\Your Username\Application Data\Thunderbird\Profiles\Default\sometext.xyz\prefs.js (future versions will auto-detect all accounts, allowing you a more comfortable selection). You'll then get the list of all accounts in that profile, can move them by selecting them and using the Control+Arrow up/down keys, and save using the Save button.
