My favourite PHP Editor: Komodo Edit

Friday, February 20th, 2009

Komodo Edit is a free and open source text editor. I like using Komodo Edit to develop my PHP programs, XHTML and JavaScript. If you hate remember functions name, variables name and functions parameter and so on, Komodo Edit is a good choice because it offers autocomplete feature. If you like Visual Studio, I believe you will enjoy Komodo Edit as well.

By the way, NetBeans also provides this feature. If you want to try alternative PHP Editor, NetBeans seems also a good choice.

Block AntiVir Ad

Tuesday, February 10th, 2009

Avira AntiVir Personal is a free anti-virus software, but it always displays Ad banner when the virus definition is updating. I’m currently using Windows Vista Business and it works. However, I don’t know whether Windows Vista Home (Basic/Premium) or Windows XP Home Edition can do it by the following method.

  1. Click Windows Icon (or Start) > Control Panel >Administrative Tools >Local Security Policy.
  2. After Local Security Policy MMC has opened, you can click Additional Rules under Software Restriction Policies.
  3. If you cannot find Additional Rules, you can right click Software Restriction Policies and click New Software Restriction Policies.
  4. Then, right click Additional Rules, and select New Path Rule. Then, you will see a new dialog box. Then, click Browse… to select C:\Program Files\Avira\AntiVir PersonalEdition Classic\avnotify.exe.
  5. Make sure the security level is set to Disallowed. Finally, you can click OK button.
