McAfee AVERT Stinger 10.1.0.1491

McAfee AVERT Stinger is a stand-alone utility used to detect and remove specific viruses. It is not a substitute for full anti-virus protection, but rather a tool to assist administrators and users when dealing with an infected system. Stinger utilizes next generation scan engine technology, including process scanning, digitally signed DAT files, and scan performance optimizations.

Windows ME/XP/Vista users:
Disabling System Restore
Windows utilizes a restore utility that backs up selected files automatically to the C:_Restore folder. This means that an infected file could be stored there as a backup file, and VirusScan will be unable to delete these files. You must disable the System Restore Utility to remove the infected files from the C:_Restore folder.

Man City fans to get a taste of Abu Dhabi

Abu Dhabi - Manchester City Football Club (MCFC), the English Premier League club, will celebrate its connection with the capital of the UAE, Abu Dhabi, with a host of a fun-filled, family-orientated activities highlighting traditional Emirati culture, heritage and hospitality during the team's final home fixture of the domestic top flight season against Stoke City on Tuesday.

The City Square, MCFC's official fans area, will be host to ‘Abu Dhabi Village' for the end-of-season celebrations at the Eastlands stadium, where jubilant City fans will celebrate the club's maiden UEFA Champions League qualification — clinched courtesy of a 1-0 home victory against league rivals Tottenham Hotspur last Tuesday.

Specially-constructed sections for Etihad Airways, the UAE's national carrier and MCFC shirt sponsor, and Abu Dhabi Tourism Authority (ADTA), which inked a deal for the emirate to be the club's ‘Official Destination Partner' last year, will expose City fans to a "genuine Abu Dhabi experience in Manchester".

The MCFC-Abu Dhabi co-operation will be extended courtesy of six chefs from Emirates Palace hotel, including UAE's Chef Ali Salem Ebdowa, chef of the first Emirati five star restaurant in the UAE, Mezlai, working alongside club chefs to provide corporate hospitality menus, as well as samples for fans in the ‘Abu Dhabi Village'.

This is going to be a fantastic occasion for Manchester City and the club's fans, a real celebration of its achievements on the field this season," said Chef Ali. "It is also an opportunity for us to interact with fans, let them know a little bit about Abu Dhabi, our values, culture and heritage and hopefully convince some of them to come and experience the emirate for themselves."

Two lucky City fans will be travelling to Abu Dhabi. Etihad and ADTA have combined to offer a one-off chance to win a trip for two, including flights, four nights hotel accommodation and race weekend tickets, to this November's Etihad Airways Formula 1 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. Fans can enter the free draw by completing a simple form at the registration booth in Etihad's display area.

Neale starts as favourite in Black Tee

Dubai: The Black Tee Challenge will be staged for the 14th time this weekend over the Faldo and Majlis courses. The tournament, a major on the UAE golfing calendar, enters a new era with Jumeirah Group sponsoring the event for the first time.

Defending champion Joel Neale of Emirates Golf Club is the favourite to win the 36-hole stroke-play event. He is looking to make it a hat-trick of victories following his level par tally and play off win last year. He carded rounds of 73 and 72 last May and clinched a play off over fellow member Nick Brewaeys. He also clinched the Emirates Amateur Open earlier this year.

Simon Dunn, a previous winner of the event and professional golfer who finished fourth last year, will pair up with Neale in the 13:15 tee time for the opening round. Completing the final three ball of the day is Hamad Mubarak from Riffa Golf Club in Bahrain. Another star three ball tees off at 11:05, Miki Mirza (Dubai Creek), Khalid Attieh (Arabian Ranches) and R.J Thompson (Emirates Golf club); both Miki and Khalid have won the amateur qualifying for the Omega Dubai Desert Classic.

Crutchlow feeling ‘a lot of confidence’ for Le Mans

Cal Crutchlow heads to the fourth round of the 2011 MotoGP World Championship at Le Mans looking to build on the impressive form he has shown during the first three races.

The MotoGP rookie has enjoyed a fairly seamless transition from Superbikes this year, the Briton scoring a top ten finish in the wet at Jerez before matching that with an eighth place finish last time out in the dry at Estoril.

Going on to impress further by setting the fourth quickest lap time during the following Estoril test, though Le Mans represents another new circuit to learn, Crutchlow is arriving on a wave of confidence.

"I'm heading to Le Mans with a lot of confidence, even though it is another track I've only ever seen before on TV," the Tech 3 Yamaha rider said. "I know it won't be an easy task but Estoril was obviously another great weekend for me and then to finish fourth quickest in the test showed what I am capable of.

"Each time I get on the bike I am learning more and more and thanks to my guys at Monster Yamaha Tech 3 I've been able to make some big progress.

“I'm always determined to get the best result possible but this weekend definitely has extra significance being the Team's home race and Monster being title sponsor of the event. If I can replicate the results I achieved in Jerez and Estoril I'll be really happy."

Crutchlow is currently classified eighth in the overall standings.
