The Software that Does the Dirty Work

Got a problem with a virus that your antivirus couldn't fix. Then NoobKiller might be the answer
to that. Some of you who will read this
post might
wish that they had this software back then befor they reformatted their
PC just because of some virus that creates suspicious folders inside
other folders or some other crazy stuffs.

What's in a Name?

Noob is a term for novice commonly used in computer games. It was created by a mysterious guy named Leerz with the help of some of his folks. Although a lot of people disagree with its name, it still possesses a lot of interesting stuffs.
Actually noob killer was designed to destroy novice viruses, threatening virtual monsters that are incapable of infecting files but still appears to be a nuissance. As some folks say, never underestimate a novice.

Features

NoobKiller is cannot ba considered as an antivirus because it does not clean a drive nor it destroys infected files as heuristic scanners do. But it removes that main engine of the virus, preventing it from running again in your system. It deletes some common viruses which some of the names might look familiar. You may simply click on one of the Quick Fix Buttons.

If your are not sure if the virus in your computer is included in the list, you can choose 8-X Kill All on
the Menu.

Informations about some viruses are
included in the software in the Nfo menu. You can also read the log
file with NK's textviwere and learn how to destroy the Taga Lipa Are
virus and impress your friends ;).

A lot of useful tools are also included to help fix your system. Some like the process explorer and show startup items can be very useful. Just try exploring

the software ang you'll be surprised what you might find(like the quotes :p).
Like antiviruses, NoobKiller also has an updater. Just go to X on the menu and click, live updates now and watch it update it's database.

Some people have problem on how to exit NoobKiller because of it's complicated interface. Just go to x then
exit.

Portable Flash Games

Here are some of my game collections. Most of them are in flash format(.swf) so you will be needing the flash player. I've already included it on our download folder. Alternatively, if you have flash installed on your browser, you can open it using your web browser.

So you might be wondering why the games aren't executable (.swf format), like why do you need to have a flash player or flash installed on your browser. It's because it can take up a lot of space if I've included the engine. Anyway if you like it to be a standalone program, you can run the game on the flash player then choose file > create projector then the file that will be made is now an application that does not require flash.

You can download the games here for free.

I've done a few reviews for them on the Games List below.

Roller Coaster Creator	Be a roller coaster tycoon and design safe and fun roller coasters

Playing the Game Files

You'll notice most of the game files are in .swf(shockwave flash) format. So here are some steps on what to do with them

First, download the Flash Player flashplayer_10_sa_debug.exe. You can also download one at http://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
On the Flash Player, Choose File then Open, then Select a .swf file which is one of our game package
You can now start playing. If you already have flash installed on your web browser. You can also open the swf files on your browser instead. I only use the flash player for portable purposes.. :)

Why didn't I convert them into .exe files instead, because they would appear bigger so it would be efficient if we only use one projector program to open the files
