Microsoft made a version of Windows 10 for the Chinese government |

If you’re looking to grab Windows 10, there are a lot of versions to choose from: Windows 10 Home, Windows 10 Enterprise, Windows 10 Pro, Windows 10 Mobile, etc. Now it looks like we can add a new one to the list: Windows 10 Chinese Government Edition.
That’s not the real name – it’s called Windows 10 Zhuangongban, or “Windows 10 Specially-provided Edition” – but Microsoft really has made a version of Windows 10 for the Chinese government, according to a report in Chinese magazine Caixin. Ralph Haupter, Microsoft China’s CEO, told the magazine that through a joint venture with China’s CETC, Microsoft has already completed the first version of the specialized Windows version.
This shouldn’t come as a major surprise, of course. Microsoft announced the deal and its intention to develop the China-specific software back in December.
Quote:Microsoft’s new Windows isn’t the only government-focused OS on the Chinese market.
So what’s different about the Chinese government version of Windows? Haupter told Caixin that it features fewer of Microsoft’s consumer-targeted apps and services, while including more management and security controls, in accordance with the needs of China’s government. Haupter didn’t divulge exactly what’s been changed or how different the system looks from traditional Windows 10, but he did say that it retains the ability to run any Windows-compatible programs.
Microsoft vs. Kylin?
Microsoft’s new Chinese-government-specific Windows 10 isn’t the only Chinese-security-focused OS on the market. For years, China’s government has itself been funding and pushing the development of what is now called NeoKylin, a partially-Chinese-developed Linux fork. That software has finally started to see use in government circles in recent years, and a version is even being used to power China’s Tianhe-2 supercomputer.
Can Microsoft beat out NeoKylin? On its face it might seem unlikely. But NeoKylin was itself partially foreign-developed, so neither OS is truly Chinese-made. And Windows offers the advantage of supporting a much broader range of software than Linux-based NeoKylin. Especially at Chinese state-owned enterprises, being able to use industry-standard software tools in Windows could give Windows 10 Zhuangongban a big leg up on NeoKylin.

Office Recovery Wizard 2.1.1.5
Quote:
Office Recovery Wizard can help you become a data recovery pro without even trying, offering an easy way to recover lost documents produced by Microsoft Office 95 through 2010, as well as OpenOffice and StarOffice. Unlike other data recovery tools, Office Recovery Wizard is designed specifically to let computer users without past experience in data recovery restore lost Office documents whether they were simply deleted or if the hard disk is badly damaged and/or completely inaccessible.
An easy step-by-step recovery wizard guides you through the recovery process by asking a few simple questions. All that you do is selecting the disk to recover documents from, wait for a few minutes, and pick files to recover from the list of recoverable documents presented to you as a regular Explorer-like window. To make things even simpler, Office Recovery Wizard displays full Live Preview of all recoverable documents on a single click, allowing you to choose the latest version of each document.
Powerful Data Recovery Engine
Office Recovery Wizard features the latest developments in data recovery, continuing to be on the technological edge with every new release. The powerful search algorithm scans the entire surface of your hard disk in order to locate and recover missing documents. It finds supported documents by matching the contents of the disk against pre-defined signatures, working similar to anti-virus programs looking for viruses during a system scan. The technology can find documents in case the hard disk is severely damaged, or if the file system is missing, corrupted, or overwritten.
Office Recovery Wizard can:
- Recover documents, spreadsheets, presentations and publications produced by many office applications
- Recover documents from healthy, damaged, corrupted, inaccessible and unbootable drives
- Restore documents from formatted and repartitioned drives
- Recover files from a variety of storage media (SSD, memory cards, USB drives etc.)
- Save recovered files onto a different disk, burn a CD or DVD, or upload over FTP
- Recover office documents without any office applications installed
- Recover documents created with Microsoft Office 95, 97, 2000, XP, 2003, 2007 and 2010
- Recover documents created with StartOffice, OpenOffice 1.x and OpenOffice 2.x

For the Full List of Changes, you can see this here:
https://www.secureaplus.com/download/release-notes
The Initial Full System Scan:
After installation full system scan is initiated and it is highly recommended to complete it to enjoy the full benefits of the program, this will keep you safe and ensure that there are no existing threats. The time of the scan differ according to the size of your hard drive, CPU speed and selected scan speed. It usually ranges from few minutes to many hours. The program gives you the option to change the speed of scan, this is of importance if many processes are running at the same time and need many resources. It has an interesting smart feature that automatically minimizes PC resource usage when the user is actively using the computer
You can pause the scan at any time you need. If you want to shut down or restart, no problem, the program will continue where it stops until scan is completed.
You can adjust the scan to be done automatically on start of your computer without any intervention from you. In addition, Universal AV routinely scans your PC every hour using different antivirus apps and the latest virus definitions. This will ensure that you are safe from any threats. Of course you can start full system scan manually at any time. Simply click “full system scan” on the main page
If you want to check for the latest scan results, simply click “view UAV Status” button on the main application window
Application Whitelisting:
The application has a useful built in feature called whitelisting. This feature further enhances the antivirus scanning with trusted protection. The program has a whitelist database including many application scripts and executables. If an application is not on the whitelist, SecureAPlus will prevent it from running on your system till you approve it and add to whitelist. You will not have to manually define or set up the whitelist but the program will automatically create it for you at the end of the initial full system scan. The whitelisting feature starts working immediately after installation even before completing initial full system scan. It is smart and offers you absolute protection of your system against malware or untrusted applications even if recent ones.
SecureAPlus Whitelisting Modes:
Whitelisting has three modes of working. Either it will stop any untrusted application if attempted to run [or suspected file is detected], then lets you decide either to trust or to block. This mode is called the interactive mode. It is the default mode and suitable for most users because it features the best balance between flexibility and control. The second mode is the “Lockdown” Mode with high security and low flexibility. The program will automatically block any untrusted application and prevent it from running and also add any found virus to quarantine. It is suitable in public places. In third mode all applications will be trusted “Trust all”. This mode of course offers highest flexibility and low security. Your computer will be vulnerable to many threats. If you select this mode pop up window appear asking you about the time needed for this option (5 minutes or 30 minutes or till next reboot).
Universal AV:
You must know that a large number of threats such as viruses and malware present and added daily. No single antivirus can offer you complete protection from all these threats and even may take some time before new ones being added to its databases.
SecureAPlus is not like other traditional antivirus applications. It has a unique protection capacity as it can use more than 10 commercial anti-virus engines with latest virus definitions at the same time. This will protect you from most threats and gets you highest detection rates.
It is usually advised to leave all antivirus engines working and active to achieve the best detection rate. If you disable many antivirus engines, the application performance will be affected.
The databases in the universal AV Library are regularly checked versus those in the cloud antivirus engines’ libraries, this important feature will ensure Real Time Protection of your system against all threats even the new ones.
As you can think now this feature is similar to VirusTotal, however the continuous scanning of your system and files against universal samples in the cloud makes the program the best protection for you. Moreover, everything will be automatically done for you. You will not have to manually upload any file to get scanned.
Virus Total Integration:
Files blocked and are unknown to Universal AV are automatically checked against Virus Total for a 2nd opinion.
Also the presence of universal antivirus engines in the cloud makes your computer safe even if it is off. Once an update is added that a certain file is malware, you will be notified on next reboot and by email.
Offline antivirus:
Sure your computer is many times offline. The program offers you a complete protection even if you are disconnected from the internet. It can do this through offering a full featured offline antivirus tool. You can also do on demand scan of your computer at any time when you are offline using this tool. Also you can view the quarantine list, add or remove items from the ignore list, exclude files from scanning and so on.
Application settings:
The program is highly configurable with many settings that can be easily adjusted according to your needs and preferences.
Universal AV Settings:
These settings let you approve to auto upload samples and the daily upload limit. Also you will see a list of the active AV engines and you can customize it
Scan settings:
You can set up your antivirus scan settings including Universal AV with offline antivirus and real time protection. In the default situation the three settings are set “ON” for full protection. You can change this to suite your preferences but it is highly recommended to leave it working. You can easily enable or disable any of the three built in tools using this window. Simply slide the button in front of each feature on or off. That’s all!
Ignore list and exclusion list:
You can easily add, remove or edit items to the exclusion list and the ignore list.
Notifications:
Using this option, you can easily control where the program notification appears on your screen. Click the notification button in the application settings (present under others menu) and select your preferred place. This will prevent overlap especially when you are using other antivirus or malware software.
Update:
Using this setting option, you will be able to completely control automatic and manual updates to both the program and the virus databases. Also you can easily add your proxy settings to allow internet connection.
White listing: has basic and advanced feature to fully control this important feature.
Program Modes:
The program has two modes; the normal mode and the silent mode. You can easily switch between the two modes using right click menu of the taskbar icon. In the silent mode Your Whitelisting mode will be switched to Lockdown Mode which means that any untrusted applications will be automatically blocked if attempted to run. Also the program will automatically quarantine any viruses detected by real-time scanning.
