FREE Softwares is a Privilege

Yup, You heard me right :D  After quite a time, I'm not writing in this blog, now I'm back :D My blog was a mess n still not good enough by appearance. Still I want to share this 'knowledge' for you, that's the point.

For windows (Operating System) users, I believe that you love if Microsoft gives you Windows 8 n Office 2013 Pro Plus for FREE.

Well, Guys at Microsoft already did in the past n still doing it while I'm writing this.

How come you didn't notice it?

It's a privilege for people who know what they want, in this case FREE activation of Windows 8 n Office 2013 Pro Plus.

There are 2 simple activation ways:
1. by phone activation, a little bit complicated, yet so simple for those who know n it's permanent.
2. by kms server, need internet connection, very simple, but only last activated for maximum 180 days, after that you need to re-activating it again.


On this post, I let you know about Windows 8 activation, maybe next time I write again about Office 2013 activation steps.

First, activation by phone.
You need to find Multiple Account Key (MAK Key) of Windows 8 in the internet. Choose base on which Windows 8 that you have installed, Windows 8 Entreprise or Windows 8 Pro. When you have the MAK key, then you can go straight to these steps:
- open Command Prompt with administrator right,
- type slmgr /ipk your MAK key, then hit Enter,
- pause for a few seconds, then type slui 4,
- after the phone activation's window appears, select United Kingdom,
- take notes of the code below 1 to 9,
- call the free toll numbers on the screen by real phone or you can do it by skype,
- you will find yourself talking to a robot, follow the given instructions,
- finally you need to write down the confirmation ID,
- insert the confirmation ID on phone activation's window, hit activate, then it's done :D
- just to make sure that your Windows 8 is permanently activated, type slmgr /xpr on the Command Prompt window,
- finally you can close all the windows n enjoy your Windows 8 for FREE :D
 
In case, you can not find the MAK key, you should get the free Windows 8 Media Center Pack serial numbers from HERE before 1st February 2013. But, if you intend to use the serial numbers or key for permanent activation, I think you must do kms server activation first :D

The next FREE way of Windows 8 activation is thru kms server, do the steps below:
- open Command Prompt with administrator right,
- type slmgr /ipk NG4HW-VH26C-733KW-K6F98-J8CK4,hit Enter,
- if the key is not working, try another key, you can find it HERE, just scroll down n you will find it,
- then set kms server address by typing slmgr /skms the working kms server, hit Enter,
- you can find the working kms server address at HERE,
- after kms server setted, type slmgr /ato,
- voila, your Windows 8 is activated, for 180 days :D

Do the phone activation steps if you have the Windows 8 Media Center Pack giveaway key from Microsoft after you follow steps in your email sent by Microsoft.

Searching is Much Easier with FileLocator

Although Microsoft have made great progress in Windows development so far, but there's something lack in the development, it's in the file searching section. I have experience on using Windows Vista and Windows 7, I must say that both of these operating systems are better from Windows XP in many ways, except Windows Vista slower performance. But still, I miss Windows XP's file searching which is full of information and a lot quicker than Windows Vista and Windows 7 have by default.
Luckily, I found FileLocator to replace the built-in searching software in Windows Vista and Windows 7. It provides us with good details and less time-consuming in file searching. Based on my experience, I'm quite satisfied with this software, this is very useful software and I think I'm gonna use it over and over again in my daily computing.
Instead of using its PRO version, currently I'm using its free version called FileLocator Lite which is You can download it from here. Mythicsoft Ltd as the company of these amazing software so far has made FileLocator PRO, FileLocator Network, Agent Ransack and FileLocator Lite. You can find-out more details of information here.

Try Kaspersky 2012 for FREE

Even if this review is rather too late, I'd like to share it anyway with all of You, Guys. You might find it useful especially for You who have problems with viruses or other malwares.

Kaspersky tends to release their new major security software beta's around this time of the year, as evident from KAV 2010 and KIS 2010 beta release in April '09 and release of Final version of KAV 2011 and KIS 2011 by September last year after completion of beta testing. Sticking to the schedule Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 Beta is out now with some great new features and an completely revamped user-interface.


Major new features and improvements in KIS 2012 :
* Brand new interface with added support for touch screens.
* Makes use of improved "cloud" anti-malware technologies also known as Kaspersky Security Network to improve faster response to threats.
* Added reputation check of suspicious files via Kaspersky Security Network without executing them (right-click option).
* Significantly improvement in overall performance and efficiency reducing system load.
* Improved protection from unknown threats by analyzing activity of programs.
* New smart updater now downloads updates only for the active components of the product, also the update process is now optimized to have minimal impact on computer resources during the upgrade.
* Information about patterns of behavior triggered by software are now collected for analysis and reputation assessment in KSN database.
* Anti-spam module is now powered by Kaspersky Security Network and will no longer require training.
* Hugely improved technology for rootkit detection specially the ones which intercept boot sequence to hide.



The new KIS 2012 beta comes with a free trial activation for 91 days and can be downloaded from this links (just click the greater number, it's the newer one).


However, when you try to install a newer build on an existing installation the KIS 2012 BETA installer refuses to install the application displaying "Internal Error 2771" error, after trying things here and there I was able to install the new build.

Kaspersky Internet Security 2012 Installation Errors :
Internal Error 2771, SandboxFeature
Internal Error 2771, WholeProductFeature


To get past these errors all you need to do is to uninstall the previous build completely and reinstall using the newer build setup.
