We've finally finished updating the design of one of our most successful internet security projects to date: 2-spyware.com. From now on, it's even more exciting and user friendly: the sections have been structured into tabs for easier access, and the overall look and feel is now brighter and more convenient to use.

I'm sure this new and improved look of the site will attract oven more traffic, but we're still working hard to improve the usability and functionality of the website even further. With 2-spyware.com being one of our most important projects, it is essential that we do not lag behind in the internet security market. After adding the new design and expanding this portal to new traffic heights in the future, 2-spyware is sure to climb to the top soon enough.

You can check out the new look of 2-spyware.com here.

2-files.com, our new project on internet security, is up and running, at last. This website will be dealing with… files, as should be evident from the very name of this project. There is a lot of confusion amongst common internet users about which file belongs where and what the file does. The main categories here are "rogue files" and "system files", as these are the main source of confusion when a user finds unusual and unheard-of files in his/her computer. 2-files.com is there to sort these out.

System Files

Ever heard of lsass.exe, msmsgs.exe or smss.exe? What about svchost.exe? You may encounter these and many other files and processes in your Windows Task Manager window. What do they mean? Are they trojans or are they legitimate processes? Look them up in our 2-files.com system files database.

Rogue Files

This category is dedicated to all the malicious pests that may plague your computer if you forget to use that anti-virus or anti-spyware tool. In case of an infection (or just for general education purposes), you may freely consult 2-files.com on these parasites and find all the information available on the latest and most dangerous computer threats.

Although this project is still very young, we hope that 2-files.com will grow to be one of the most useful internet security sites with time.

We just had "interesting" experience with the site www.hosts-file.net. They publish the hosts file with the list of more than 45k sites. This list can be merged with users hosts file to prevent them from visiting these sites.

Here are some examples of what they block:
www.adaware.com – lavasoft page which leads to one of the most popular free spyware remover AdAware.
www.authorize.net – one of the biggest credit card processing centers
www.looksmart.com – well known Search engine for commercial results
www.kanoodle.com – another search engine for paid results.
www.linkshare.com – an affiliate network
www.registryline.com – known rentals site
www.noblepoker.com – well know online poker room
www.urchin.com – Site stats analysis software which now owned by Google
www.webtrends.com – Another great traffic analysis software
adwords.google.com – Google service to purchase ads in their search engine
www.regnow.com – another affiliate marketing network
www.hey.lt – lithuanian counter
www.enigmasoftwaregroup.com – official site of American Company, creators of popular remover spyhunter.

and many more….
along with these sites our sites are blocked:
www.jurgita.com – online modeling magazine
www.2-spyware.com – antispyware community

All these sites are not malicious or posing any threat to the user. Blocking these sites can be harmful for the user. We tried to notify creators of this file and instead of that we got banned from their forum. here is the whole story with quotes: hpHOSTS – untrustworthy resource

We just launched another project – cherryfun.com. It will be another dating site. I had one dating site before. It was pazintys.com/pazintys.lt site. Some years ago I gave this project away just because I didn't see commerce in Lithuania. Still don't see now. Its a small market and people don't have enough money. It took too much time to manage that project, there were too many expenses, so exchanged my shares with other project and finally the project was sold. Now it is one of the biggest dating sites in Lithuania. Do I regret? Of course no! the deal was much better, even if I compare it to this site which is very popular at the moment.

Anyway with cherryfun we are returning to the dating business, but this will not be the local site. it will be global. I know perfectly that its almost impossible to launch a new dating site and make it popular worldwide, but we will try. It is another challenge for me and my companies.

Feel free to Visit our online dating project. We will try to make it better and better. All comments are welcome.
