Many people buy police and emergency scanner radios just so that they can be the first ones to hear about an accident, a fire, a fight or any other event in their city or town. In certain areas of the world, the radio traffic on police and emergency scanners can be more entertaining than prime time television.

I’ve always wanted a scanner at home, but I never got around to actually buying one. So, you can imagine my excitement when I learned that the Android Market has a very popular live police scanner application offered for free called class="vt-p" href="http://www.androlib.com/android.developer.gordon-edwards-qDjD.aspx">Scanner Radio by Gordon Edwards.

id="more-60363"> /> People use a lot of tools to find out what’s happening locally, whether it’s class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/dir/fwix-local-news-aggregator/">local news sites, local class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/5-websites-find-national-local-newspapers-published-world/">newspaper resources as Saikat described, or sites for discovering class="vt-p" href="http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/3-interesting-websites-explore-city/">local events like Steven mentioned.  But if you really want to be in the loop and on top of breaking local news events, Scanner Radio provides live streaming audio from police, emergency and weather base stations all around the world.

You can search by the most popular scanners, or locate the ones nearest you. The streaming audio for each area is provided by gracious volunteers that stream their scanner audio via computer to class="vt-p" href="http://www.radioreference.com">RadioReference.com, class="vt-p" href="http://www.wunderground.com">Wunderground.com or class="vt-p" href="http://www.livefirefeeds.com">LiveFireFeeds.com. Any feeds uploaded to those sites will show up in the thousands of Scanner Radio listings.

Looking For Interesting Live Police Scanners

I have to warn you, this is one of the most addictive apps on the Android market. The cool thing about this app is that no matter where in the world you live, you can listen to local scanner radio traffic of any region where a kind volunteer is streaming the audio to the Internet. If you own a scanner in your part of the world, consider contributing to the cause!

Once you install the app, the main page lets you look for interesting scanners by region, “genre” (rail, marine, weather), or focused on one of the source websites listed above.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/dscan1.jpg" alt="live police scanner" width="253" height="450" />

The other nice feature is that you can add an alert for any scanner you find. An alert is a setting where once the listener count reaches a certain limit, your phone will alert you. Usually when there’s a significant event going on, the listener count for that scanner spikes.

If you just want to listen, click on one of the scanners you find and the player will open up in its own window. Even if you close the app at this point, the player will still run in the background, so you’ll hear radio updates out of your phone speaker whenever they occur.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/dscan2.jpg" alt="" width="253" height="450" />

If you really want to listen to some major drama, more exciting than just about any reality show you’ll find on TV, check out the “Top 50 Scanners” option from the main menu. This list displays the scanners with the highest volume of listeners, which typically means the highest radio traffic as well.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/dscan3.jpg" alt="" width="253" height="450" />

When I clicked on the NYPD scanner, I was completely mesmerized for over an hour as police pulled over a drunk driver, broke up a serious gang fight, and investigated a domestic assault incident.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/dscan4.jpg" alt="" width="281" height="500" />

When I switched to the Chicago PD scanner, it was even more enthralling – gang fights, explosions and assorted criminals getting arrested. You can’t find this level of action anywhere else, and it’s all live!

If you click on the “Details” button at the bottom of a scanner, if the volunteer included any information on the scanner, you’ll find it there. For example, the NYPD details included the precincts covered by the scanner and a few of the most popular police 10 codes you’ll hear over the radio.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/dscan5.jpg" alt="" width="253" height="450" />

Supplement Your Scanner With Signals

Now that you’ve transformed your Android into a personal live police scanner, you’re going to start hearing a whole lot of conversations littered with strange codes. If you want to make it a lot easier to understand what’s going on, make sure to download class="vt-p" href="http://www.androlib.com/android.application.com-apklabs-android-signals-ijCp.aspx">Signals.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/dscan6.jpg" alt="" width="253" height="450" />

Signals is an insanely comprehensive list of symbols, signals and codes for things like marine, police, sign language, braille and even computer symbols! The police codes are pretty detailed – and the section that will help the most when you’re listening to your scanner is the Police Penal Codes page.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/dscan7.jpg" alt="" width="253" height="450" />

Beyond radio communications codes, Signals even helps you out with understanding electronic communications, like Text Messaging shorthand. If you think you know all of them, you won’t believe the crazy shorthand acronyms listed in this section.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/dscan8.jpg" alt="" width="253" height="450" />

Another entertaining reference is the Emoticons page – which features every emoticon under the sun.

style="text-align: center;"> class="aligncenter" src="http://main.makeuseoflimited.netdna-cdn.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/12/dscan9.jpg" alt="" width="253" height="450" />

So now, when you hear about an amazing breaking news event on your Android radio scanner, you can quickly fire off an appropriately brisk text message to a friend letting them know about the news, finished off with an intrigued emoticon.

You can download Signals here:

My name is Mark Anders and I am a graduate from Vancouver University of Computer Science. I design computer software of all types including Anti-Virus, Technical Support programs as well as graphics software. Many people come to me for advice on what software’s they should buy for their computers. Lately I have been getting allot of questions about Global Anti-Viruses new portable virus scanner. So I decided to do an unbiased report on the new scanner for everyone to see. Just for your reference the Global Anti Virus USB scanner is available at www.globalantivirus.org

In my report I am going to cover these topics:

-Global Anti-Viruses reputation

-How effective is the new USB scanner

-The price

-Is the scanner worth buying

Global Anti Virus has been around for years. They used to only offer simple anti virus software but have recently been experimenting with variations of the software. There has been no recorded complaints about their company and I have found nothing but good customer feedback. So I am going to come to the conclusion that they are a trusted company to buy from.

The USB scanner comes preloaded with new Anti-Virus software. All you have to do is plug it into your computer and begin scanning. That makes things very easy for the average person who doesn’t know allot about computers. There has been many cases of consumers using the scanner and finding viruses that were undetected by their normal software. The more virus protection you have the better. Everyday, Hackers are finding new ways to infect peoples computers with viruses. It is estimated that 50 new viruses are created a day. That’s allot! Due to all of the virus findings by the new scanner, I am going to say yes. It is effective.

The scanner is listed on their website for $49.95. Most Anti-Virus software alone will cost you over 100 dollars(for a good one). So $49.95 is a very good price for all the features that comes with the scanner.

In my final conclusion, I am going to say that Global Anti-Viruses new portable virus scanner is worth buying. Files, photos and music that are stored on your computer are to valuable to be lost. I would highly recommend buying the new scanner.

Another tut/review of a me removing malware

Viruses are roller coaster of a hot topic. It seems every time a major virus breaks out, everyone suddenly becomes concerned about how well their computer is protected. Well there’s a way to never have to worry about it and it’s all free.

Virus scanners are an integral part of computer and network security, so all I’ll say is that you need a router to protect your computer from your public IP, and to be careful when accepting unfamiliar emails or pop-up questions. I will cover security in more depth in a later article, but assuming you already use these techneaks, on to a virus scanner.

The two major virus scanners that people are familiar with are McAfee and Norton. Of the two, in my experience McAfee seems to wreak the least amount of havoc on your system resources. There are other products out there such as Trend Micro and Sophos that seem to do just as good, if not better.

But the point is free. There are some highly respected free scanners out there, one in particular, that gets the job done. Now Trend Micro offers a free online virus scan that works well but I would suggest having a broadband connection. This is a one-time scan that will not protect you in real-time. Grisoft’s AVG is a downloadable, free, real-time protection scanner that has earned a dedicated following. However, this product is only free for personal use, and I’ve seen complications arise that result in you paying to have your computer serviced, which can cost more than any virus scanner.

The product that I recommend, and use, is ClamWin. ClamWin is an open source product, published under the GPL. The program offers real-time protection, scheduled scans, and automatically updates it’s virus definitions. It is a virus scanner, not a “security suite”, and produces a negligible impact on system resources. And since it’s an open source product, security is fixed immediately.

So put your workstation behind a router, get ClamWin, and be cautious (not paranoid) about what you are doing in the Internet and your email. The router will allow you to share your internet connection securely throughout your home network saving you time and money. If you feel like you absolutely must buy a virus scanner, go to Amazon.com and lookup the customer reviews. This is the best way to get the scoop about which product will best fit your needs.

In today’s world the internet has made life much more convenient with one exception; Adware, Spyware, and Malware. These nasty little programs get downloaded by unsuspecting internet surfers and proceed to create all sorts of annoying, frustrating and dangerous computer problems that leave most people wanting to scream. Fortunately if you install and use a good adware spyware scanner remover you will be protected from these nasty bugs.

There are some misconceptions that need to be addressed when it comes to spyware and adware. Many people think these types of malware programs only really affect businesses and servers. This type of thinking gets many people in trouble because home computers are more vulnerable to infestation because most lack the layers of security found in most business settings.

You also need to be aware that most spyware and adware does not come from where you might think. In many cases it is hidden in the most innocuous of websites and downloads. This points to the fact that some form of adware spyware scanner is important for anyone who surfs the web on a regular basis.

Spyware and adware is different then your everyday computer virus. They are not designed to be as malicious as viruses are because they are created to serve a purpose, which is to spy on your web browsing habits, send back information about your computer usage, and inundate you with advertisements that pop-up randomly while you are using your computer.

But it is important to understand that while these malware programs are not necessarily designed to overtly cause damage to your computer they do create performance problems as they compete for computing resources with your other programs. They use up processing power, memory resources, and even graphics resources as they do there dirty work behind the scenes.

You also need to be cognizant that certain types of spyware can put your personal information at risk by tracking key strokes which exposes passwords, account numbers, credit card numbers, and other personal information that gets sent back their masters.

This type of malware is a constant threat for anyone with a computer, and in particular computers hooked up to the World Wide Web. This points to the fact that anyone who wishes to protect their computer and personal information from these programs needs a dedicated adware spyware scanner remover.

There are many programs out there that tell you they are the best at removing Viruses and Malware. I have seen this too many times now where I show up at a home and they tell me well I have Norton or some other name brand product, so I should be safe from viruses and stuff. I look at the program and see it is not only outdated, but the last scan was sometimes years ago. I then break the news to them how they are probably infected with all kinds of goodies.

Too many people make the assumption that if the program is starting up it is working. Virus scanners are usually only a one year subscription and if you do not pay again in a year you no longer get updates. Therefore, any virus made after the last day you received updates can get right by your anti-virus software. You should check your anti-virus periodically to make sure everything is running smooth and you’re receiving your updates.

If you are not receiving updates for the product check to see if the subscription date is past due. If so you will need to purchase another subscription or another product. If you can’t get updates and your subscription has not run out yet, this means you are infected. Now you are probably wondering, well how did this happen if I had a virus scanning program? Well this is easy to explain.

There truly is no one great product when it comes to removing malicious programs. Every time they update your anti-virus software someone will be updating their malware programs. It is a never ending battle. The makers of these malware find weaknesses in the anti-virus software and pretty much disable it and your updating abilities of most programs. This leaves you helpless to their attacks.

There are many things you can do to prevent this from happening to you. Always scan every file you download before opening it. Don’t open email or click on any links in emails from people or sites you do not know. You would be surprised to see what can be hidden in a link. Every now and again test your anti-virus software by going to sites that will scan your PC for free. There are many sites on the computer there to help people free; all you have to do is look for them.

Before you even get started with installing any programs you should first make sure your hardware is clean and free of dust. Dust buildup can make a computer run very slow and cause freeze issues alike. It is always good to start here because sometimes people think they are infected with viruses and it comes out to be just dust caked in the heat sink of the processor.

In this age of increasing internet frauds and cyber crimes, free spyware scanner is necessity of everyone who use internet. The free spyware scanner is a program that can effectively scan the spyware threats in your computer and remove them that ensures you are safe from malicious activities when you are online.

Spyware Threats

Spyware is created and distributed through the internet to monitor the online activities of the users of the infected computer. It collects URL of the websites that the user visits, gathers information of the page visits and other information that give an idea of the online interests of the user. This data is used for spamming and targeted advertisement. As the spyware uses your internet connection and resources fro collecting and sending the data you can not utilize the full resources when you have a spyware infection in your PC. To eliminate this problem successfully and without much hassle you need a free spyware removal tool.

Apart from this, spywares are also used to collect email addresses from your computer and from the browser while you send emails. Spywares are also designed to steal bank account numbers, credit card numbers and passwords. Spywares steal the information by logging the keystrokes and hence even if you are using a secured connection, your personal details can be exposed. The information is then used for internet frauds and other criminal activities that can cause you much harm.

Why do we need spyware removal tools?

Spyware is a type of malware but it is distinctively different from the regular computer viruses and hence they are not detected by the regular anti virus software. So, you need specifically designed anti spyware software to successfully remove the spywares.

Getting free spyware protection is not that difficult. All you need to do is download a free spyware scanner from the internet. There are so many websites that offer free spyware blocker software for download. You can choose any one of them to solve your problem of spyware infection. The spyware scanner will scan your computer memory, detect the traces of spyware and remove them successfully. These programs also prevent your computer from getting further spyware threats by blocking any software installation that contains spyware.

Spyware is a type of malware that is used to monitor internet behaviour of the user(s) of the infected computer. The data about the website that the user frequently visits is transferred by the spyware to the author of the spyware. They use these data to analyze the internet behaviour of the user for targeted advertisement campaigns. Unlike computer viruses spyware does not replicate itself or infect other computers that come in contact with the already infected computer. Therefore spyware is not detected by the anti virus software and you need a spyware scanner to trace a spyware.

Though the spywares that are used for targeted advertisement campaigns are harmless in nature but they do use the system resources of your PC and the bandwidth of the internet connection to gather and transmit the data from your computer. It is most likely that with a spyware in your computer you will get slower performance and frequent pop up advertisements when you are online. Spyware is also used to collect email addresses from your computer hard disc and from the browser and these email addresses are then used for spamming. To get rid of these problems removing spyware at regular intervals is the most effective solution and to do that you need a spyware scanner.

Apart from these not so harmful spyware that are used to carry out online advertising campaigns there are spywares that can cause much more harm to your privacy. They can steal bank account numbers, credit card numbers and passwords of these accounts. Spywares are programmed to log the keystrokes to steal these confidential data. So, even if you are using a secured server your private information can be stolen while you enter them at the online forms. The information is used for criminal activities and financial frauds that can cause immense trouble for you. To protect yourself from these malicious practices you have to check for spywares at your PC with a spyware scanner for effective spyware removal.

You can download a spyware detector from the internet and install the software to keep check on your hard disc. If there is a spyware installed in the system the spyware scanner will detect it and remove it to ensure problem free internet browsing as well as ensure your security. The anti spyware software also provide you online protection that protects your computer from further attack of spyware.

Spyware Removal Info is an online resource, providing in-depth information about Spyware Cleaner software, which is an essential tool to keep your system free of dangerous spywares, protecting your privacy and your PC. Here you will get vast technical information about anti spyware software to delete spyware.
