Yahoo! released new Flickr Uploadr v3.0 beta application which lets
you bulk upload any number of images from you desktop to Flickr.

This
application lets you select any number of photos, set privacy options
and add description, tags, titles for these photos before uploading
them.

Another
cool feature of this application is you can prepare a new batch of
photos while one batch of photos are being uploaded to flickr. This
application is compatible with Windows as well as Mac operating
systems. Here are the direct download links of Windows and Mac
applications

One of the most critical applications for your PC is a good
antivirus program.Also,the latest viruses are more sophisticated and
aggressive than ever. Thankfully, with anti-virus software, you can
confidently keep your data safe and your computer completely free of
infection.

antivirus trailwares such as MCAfee or Symantec, it’s absolutely free
for personal and home use.Also it won’t slow down your PC by taking too
much RAM or system resources. Despite its lean build, it protects your
computer as the bigger programs do. It offers live virus protection to
stop your machine from being infected in the first place, virus
scanning and virus killing, and various protections against e-mail
viruses, Web-borne viruses, and other threats.

If
you haven’t used this before, consider it a must-have.This longtime
favorite spyware killer recently underwent a upgrade. After all, not
only does it kill spyware, but it’s free as well.

It’s
exceptionally easy to use, and lets you customize spyware scans as well
as schedule them. When the program reports what it finds, you can tell
it to kill the potential infections, put them into quarantine, or
ignore them. The new interface is much slicker-looking and easier to
use than earlier versions.

Windows Defender

Spyware
is so hard to detect that you should use more than one antispyware app.
Windows Defender is a very good choice for a second layer of security.
It’s free, it does a nice job of finding and killing spyware, and,
unlike Ad-Aware, it offers real-time protection.

It also has
some extras, such as tools for monitoring all the software and
processes currently running on your PC, and for stopping programs from
running on startup if you decide you don’t need them.
