WebcamMax

Have you guys checked out WebcamMax?

This handy piece of software allows you to add THOUSANDS of effects to your webcam video.

I’m always on Facebook and I always see all those pictures with crazy effects taken by Mac users. I used to think that Windows users were left in the dark with the lack of fun tools like Photo Booth (for Mac). Then I stumbled on WebcamMax. I’ve been using it for weeks now and have compared it to other similar products on the market.

WebcamMax blows them all out of the water. It’s head-tracking feature is amazing and surprisingly flawless. The software actually acts as a webcam/video source.

VirusTotal

I’ve been using this free service left and right and it has saved me quite a few times.

www.virustotal.com lets you upload your files and get a virus report. The system automatically tests your file against 40 different virus/malware programs that are constantly updated. Depending on the file size, it could take 10 seconds to a couple of minutes. Many times, you’ll see that someone already scanned that file, and you are able to get instant results.

Don’t open a file you don’t fully trust, send it to VirusTotal first. I’ve had some false negatives with my active anti-virus that were caught by VirusTotal.
