Compile with Notepad++ (Any language)

Sometimes you wish you had a compiler with Notepad++, so you don't have to start another program just to see the results of your work. Well, there is a solution to this too.
You probably have noticed that Notepad++ comes with few plugins included since the installation. One of them is called NppExec.

Picture.15.JPG.zip Facebook virus

Few days ago you may have received a suspicious link from someone you know on Facebook. It usually looked like

http://vebest.com/8ll9z14Q77Q2R12R2 ffg

or a variation of that. This is an old Facebook virus, but someone modified the code so it was undetectable with anti-viruses few days ago. Of course, it's detected as a worm now.

First thing I did, I downloaded the file and opened it in a sandbox. It was a zip file, named Picture.15.JPG.zip. I unpacked it, and found an exe disguised in a .scr extension file. That stands for the ScreenSaver file format. I opened the file, and first thing it did was, it disappeared from the desktop. I believe it either attached to some process or it created new exe file and executed it.

Anyway, I noticed my laptop started showing the "Working" cursor. I knew the virus was working on something, so I turned off the Internet. After some examination, I found a new process, which was very similar to the ones Windows is using. 

Microsoft Security Essentials didn't detect the virus at first, but few hours after the infestation it did.

I managed to clean my computer by installing Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, and MSE as antivirus. Make sure you have the latest updates for each of them, and run a full scan after that.

NOTE: The virus might kill your MSE process and you'll have to download another antivirus for that time. My friend downloaded Kaspersky Free Virus scan, and it did the job for him.

Version 1.5
*Fixed a bug where the mouse would check for text box, if the option to resize the LoL window was checked.

This application is written in C# WPF, using .NET version 4 framework. That means it needs some prerequisites before it can function properly.

• .NET 4 Framework (You probably have it, but in case you don't)
• Administrator privileges (only if it throws an error while launching)

*To set LOL AutoLogin always runs as Administrator, right click on the icon, go to Properties, go to the Security tab, and check "Run this program as Administrator".

(Do this only if the file throws an error while launching.)

Here is a VirusTotal scan, 0/43 found.

This isn't a keylogger nor a file sender. It's just a lazy helper program. If it was a virus, the results above would be positive.

The file with the users is stored on your computer and it's encrypted. That means nobody can get it and find out what's in the file.

Add tabs to Windows Explorer

We are so much used to Internet browsing and using tabs, that we sometimes want to browse through the computer like we browse the Internet.
There is a solution to that too. It's called QTTabBar.
QTTabBar is a plugin which adds the tab functionality to Windows Explorer.

This is particularly useful when you have to open few windows and do some file management. This way, you can quickly switch to the tab and do your work quickly.
QTTabBar is VERY customizable. It has a lot of options which may make your browsing more natural and faster.
For example, these are the options I've set for the tabs.

So, if you like this functionality, support the developer, donate if possible. The download link is above the images.

Youtube 360p buffering/preloading fix

You must have noticed that Youtube has changed the way videos load few months ago. They load some time, and they stop if you have paused the video, thus not letting you load the whole video for offline use. There are few ways of fixing that, one of them might do the trick for you.

Create ICO files with Photoshop

If you want to make a quality .ico file, download ICO file format for Photoshop. This is a small plugin for Photoshop which lets you create icons.
How to install:
First, download the 32-bit or 64-bit version of the plugin, according to your Photoshop version. You can check it's version by going to Help->About.
Next, go to your Adobe Photoshop directory, usually
"C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6 (64 Bit)\Plug-ins\File Formats" for 64-bit, and
"C:\Program Files (x86)\Adobe\Adobe Photoshop CS6\Plug-ins\File Formats" for 32-bit. If 'Plug-ins', or 'File Formats' folder doesn't exist, create it. Then paste the appropriate extension in the folder, and you are all set.

Now whenever you have an icon size (multiples by 8, like 16x16, 24x24, 32x32 and so on) you will be able to save the file as .ico.

If you have any suggestions, or problems, leave them in the comments.
