VirtualDub
Digital Video is becoming more and more popular and this small app is a great way to edit video quickly.
There are plenty of filters to add effects to video files, ranging from blur and emboss to head bob reduction to improve home movies. They are all easy to apply.
VirtualDub can make use of any video codecs installed on a computer to read different video formats. It can only save video in the AVI format, but as this is a standard file format it isn't a problem.
This is quite a basic piece of software but very useful for capturing and viewing short videos and applying filters to them.

The Norton User Account Control Tool
The Norton User Account Control Tool User Account Control (UAC) is a security feature of Microsoft Windows Vista that changes the architecture of the access token creation process and prevents users from logging on with full administrative rights.
While the intent of this feature may have been enhanced security, all too often users need administrative rights for routine tasks like installing/updating programs and changing operating system settings.
Additionally, many software applications need the appropriate access to run properly. This leads to poor user experiences because UAC always prompts the user on every administrative task. The prompts are slow to display and appear frequently without warning. Also, UAC prompts are confusing and do not provide users with any recommendations.
This actually raises security concerns because prompting the user for every action with the intent that the user misses nothing is a false security model. The more a user is prompted, the more likely it is that he or she will dismiss the prompt without reading it.
The net effect is that many users find the UAC security clearance/prompting process annoying, especially those who are a given computer’s sole user and are running the latest Norton Internet Security software.
The Norton User Account Control tool will replace parts of the Windows Vista UAC system. It will utilize the UAC security feature from the Windows Vista architecture, while simultaneously improving user-friendliness significantly.The tool prompts recommendations based on an assessment on the user-action i.e. the signature information of the executable. The tool also has a “remember me” feature that allows users to suppress future prompts from the same action.
