Top Five Screen Capture Apps

Screen capture applications are particular software tools that help to capture what you see on the screen and save them as images. This is a very handy tool for web designers and developers and anybody who wants to capture important information that is displayed on screen. 

Even though Microsoft now bundles their very own screen capture tool called Snipping Tool with Windows, there are a number of third party tools in the market which has so much to offer.

We have compiled a list of the top 5 screen capture applications are that have received good reviews from the users worldwide.

Screen hunter (click here)

Screen hunter is a free application that is very useful for capturing a full screen or an active window. 

The user interface is very simple so operating this software is piece of cake. The users also have the option of selecting a single hot key to take the take the screen capture which makes it convenient for a user. The features and operations are complete hassle free and easy to use. 

However, there is one major drawback as PNG format is not supported. You also need to pay in case you to upgrade to the premium version.

Shotty (click here)

This is a full-featured (free) screen shot taking tool that is used by a lot of people. It has the ability to capture the Aero-Glass effect in Windows 7 and Windows Vista which enables the user to get HQ screenshots. It has a number of useful features like cropping, captioning and inserting text. 

Some users have complained that PNG compression is not good although there are no complaints with the high quality images.

Gadwin printscreen (click here)

This is a flexible screen capture tool that is equipped with sophisticated features, a user-friendly interface and settings that are fully customizable for short keys. There is no built-in image editor which is a real drawback. But this application is compatible with Windows NT 4, Windows 7 and Windows 2003. The application works seamlessly with no hiccups during its operation.

Ashampoo Snap 5 (click here)

Ashampoo Snap 5 is so far my most favourite screen capture tool. It allows the users to make the screen shot of an active screen quite easily. The best feature of this tool is that it allows you making a snapshot of the content and you can upload the result to Facebook. By this way, you will be able to get feedback in the form of comments and likes in quick time. Its updated tools option allows the user to edit and design the screenshots quite easily. 

Moreover, it is easier to make screenshots for presentations, manuals or internet and to capture the menu tree. Its advance recording feature not only records screen-shots but even record movie of your desktop, record the webcam with mic for creating video greetings etc. 

Additionally, it has features like, restructured tool bars for improved workflow, easier accessible configuration options for all tools, improved tools supporting rotation and transparency and watermarking for screenshots and captured videos.

Screenr (click here)

Screenr is different from all the above apps that I've mentioned so far as it works on the cloud. Screenr is a web-based and cool looking screen capture tool having options to add captions and highlight or make a short movie by capturing what is playing on the screen. 

It is a very attractive application but at the same time very simple to use. The major advantage of this tool is the instant sharing capability. You can log in via Twitter or Facebook account and can record anything on your computer screen up to 5 minutes. Morover if you record your screen, the recording can also be downloaded in MP4 format. 

As you can see there are five leading screen capture applications that have its advantages and limitations. The final choice depends on the user. He needs to ask himself why needs particular software and where he wants to apply it.

Remove any Virus using Ubuntu

Removing Virus using Ubuntu

Microsoft Windows is supposed to be the most commonly used operating system in every home. The reason behind this can possibly be because of its user friendly interface and the easy installation of various software applications. This eventually results in being prone to frequent virus attacks followed by severe damages to the computer. 

There are certain viruses that tend to corrupt the system files of the Windows. The computer crashes during reboot and tends to auto shut down every time the system restarts. Thus, using Ubuntu is the only solution to remove viruses in such a condition.

Before getting started

It is necessary to detect and diagnose the infection before opting for the Linux therapy. The antivirus programs might be of some help in case of infections. But it is true that the majority of the antivirus programs available in the modern day market are often not capable to detect highly infectious viruses. Some critical attacks might even resist any kind of antivirus software installation to the infected system. So, using Ubuntu can then be the only way to secure the computer.

Why opt for Ubuntu

Ubuntu can be a best friend when all the defensive weaponries to save a Windows fail to offer a perfect shield to the computer system. 

A CD image of Ubuntu is easy to download from the respective website. Ubuntu is free to use and can also be readily downloaded using the bit torrent. A bit torrent download is fast and easy to opt for. Once the CD image is downloaded it can be burnt to a disk for further usage.

Commencing operation

The Ubuntu CD is to be inserted to the infected computer’s ROM drive. Once the Ubuntu CD is inserted the system must to be rebooted. An antivirus software application can now be used to run a thorough scan in order to detect any malicious object hidden around the deepest core of the system files. If any such existence is detected the software can readily get rid of the item and secure the respective file. The user can also locate the existence of weird file sets and shortcuts which might eventually have replicated itself due to the virus attack. Running the Ubuntu can lead to the permanent disposal of such objects from the infected system.

Things to be noted

As the Linux based Ubuntu operating system runs directly from the system memory there will not be any trace of it once the system is secured and restarted. Ubuntu can effectively remove the harmful viruses from a Windows PC but it does not ensure that the system is absolutely secured from further threats and attacks. Windows operating system is always at the verge of massive virus attacks and thus proper security measures must be obtained.

The reason behind Ubuntu’s success is that the virus applications fail to run in a Linux system. On the other hand a virus hides itself in the deepest sectors of a Windows PC and gets undetected. But when the Ubuntu runs on the same system the same virus fails to respond and can then be easily removed using a potential antivirus program. Being an application to run directly from the RAM, Ubuntu is very useful and indeed a friend in need during a massive Windows breakdown.
