Thanks Hilbrand Edskes for the heads up. jv16 PowerTools is basically the tool for your computer. Until now your computer might have been the one who was in charge, but with jv16 PowerTools you can take control back. The program contains all the tools you need for cleaning, controlling and tuning your computer. Including a registry cleaner, duplicate file finder, temp file finder and much more!

What's New:
• Totally new registry cleaner
  
• Ability to clean IE context menu
  
• Ability to clean temp internet files (cookies, cached pictures and web pages)
  
• Ability to select the used font
  
• The file tool automatically trims the filename to fit to the status bar in the bottom of the window.
  
• If the translation file contains errors the program now generates an error log which helps translators to do their job.
  
• Faster, more stable and in every way better registry fixer (integrated to the registry cleaner)
  
• The file tool uses now a custom file properties window (right click a file in file tool) because Windows' file properties window was too slow.
  
• Ability to remove temp internet files (file tool > Tools)
  
• APS v2 (File tool > Advanced password system)
  
• Ability to save the list directly to MS excel format.
  
• Creates and automatically updates a RestoreAll.bat in Backups which helps you to restore all the registry backups, should also work in DOS.
  
• Advanced options to sort the lists in RegTool and in the new registry cleaner.
  
• Remove custom software feature in registry tool. Allows you to remove entries created by software that isn't listed in the installed sofware list. Good way to check if the program's uninstaller has left something to the registry.
  
• Improved safety with new confirmation dialogs.

Duronio posted a $1 million bond on Tuesday for his release, according to a representative of the U.S Attorney's Office for the District of New Jersey, the office prosecuting the case. Duronio's defense attorney, Justin Walder, could not be immediately reached for comment.

In a seven-page indictment, a federal grand jury charged Duronio with one count of securities fraud and one count of violating the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

The indictment alleges that in his role as a system administrator for UBS PaineWebber, Duronio used the company's secure network to plant "logic bombs"--destructive computer programs that are set to trigger at a specific time or as the result of a specific action--in nearly 1,000 of the company's approximately 1,500 networked computers located in 370 branch offices. The malicious program had instructions to delete all the files stored on the systems at 9:30 a.m. on every Monday in March, April and May of 2002.

Duronio had left the company on Feb. 22, 10 days before the first trigger date. He had allegedly complained repeatedly about his salary and bonuses from the company. Around the same time, Duronio purchased options to sell 31,800 shares of UBS stock at an average strike price of $42.91. Such options make money only if the stock price falls below the purchase price before the options expire. The indictment alleges that the former system administrator believed that crashing the company's systems would cause its stock price to plummet before his options expired on March 15.

The alleged plan in some ways resembles the Emulex fraud incident that caused that company's stock to fall by more than 50 percent.

Logic bombs have in the past been used by irate employees against their employers. In February, Timothy Allen Lloyd was sentence to 41 months in prison for leaving behind malicious programs that deleted critical data from the servers of high-tech measurement company Omega Engineering. Prosecutors in the case said the attack cost the company $10 million. Insider attacks are generally considered the most costly for companies.

The attack allegedly carried out by Duronio failed to have the desired effect, however. The attack was not made public at the time, and UBS's stock didn't fall below $45 in March 2002. On Wednesday, the stock stood at $49.34.


If found guilty, Duronio could serve as much as 20 years in prison and be subject to fines of more than $1.25 million.

Representatives of UBS PaineWebber could not be reached for comment.
