Remove Fake Antivirus is а free portable software used to remove the most popular fake antiviruses from your computer.

What is fake antivirus? This is a type of virus/malwares which disguises itself to be an antivirus. It infects your computer when you accidentally click a link in a website which will download the malware into your computer and run automatically when your windows boot. It scans the infected computer and produces fake alert warnings. It convinces you that your computer is in danger and urges you to purchase a useless copy of the fake antivirus.

How to get your Skype on-the-go?

Skype free communication services are so popular now, that there is probably no need to present them in this post. After Skype was enabled for the smart phones, it became the perfect way for the free international phone calls.

For those who still are not in the picture, Skype lets you connect to others via instant message, audio conferencing and video phone. It can also call regular phone lines from anywhere in the world, but these calls will be already billable, which might be a good solution to talk to the less computer savvy international friends and family members, since the rates for international call are very attractive.  

One of the readers of this blog sent me email, complaining that he is not allowed to install software on his office computer due to the IT restrictions, and he is missing the Skype during the work hours. For Daniel and all others, there is a pretty good solution – there is a portable version of the Skype software as well. So, you may use it anywhere, on any computer, with no installation.

Get more information and download installer from the developers’ website: http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/skype_portable

Note that small online installer requires Internet connection to download additional files during setup.

In one of my December, 2009 posts, I have presented Rating List at RateItAll, offering listing and reviews of the third-party free software utilities, allowing enhancing the features provided by basic Skype services. At the time, it was 63 free applications on the list. Now, it is 84, and Skype Portable is having a highest rating: 5 of 5.

You are welcome to review the Rating List at: http://www.rateitall.com/t-2868750-free-software-for-skype-users.aspx

Free anti-plagiarism checkers for your college papers

The word plagiarism comes from the Latin plagiarius meaning "kidnapper."

What is Plagiarism?

 Plagiarism is the act of using someone else's words, sentences, or ideas and passing them off as your own without giving proper credit to the original source. Cutting and pasting is so easy that many people plagiarize without meaning to.

You might be plagiarizing if you:

* Submit someone else's work as your own.
* Buy a paper from a papermill, website, or other source.
* Copy sentences, phrases, paragraphs, or even ideas from someone else's work, published or unpublished, without giving the original author credit.
* Replace select words from a passage without giving the original author credit.
* Copy any type of multimedia (graphics, audio, video, Internet streams), computer programs, music compositions, graphs, or charts from someone else's work without giving the original creator credit.
* Cut and paste together phrases, ideas, and sentences from a variety of sources to write an essay.
* Build on someone else's idea or phrase to write your paper without giving the original author credit.
* Submit your own paper in more than one course without permission of the teachers.

Note that whenever you paraphrase, summarize, or take words, phrases, or sentences from another person's work, it is necessary to indicate the source of the information within your paper using an internal citation. It is not enough to just list the source in a bibliography at the end of your paper. Failing to properly quote, cite or acknowledge someone else's words or ideas with an internal citation is plagiarism.
