Search Over 60 DB and 2 million government pages
Videos
www.liveleak.com – A Video news aggregator of citizen supplied videos. Great for OSInt in foreign countries. The site appears to have some good aggregation functions to turn randomly submitted videos into a logical collection around a topic. Proven useful for aggregating the Feb 15, 2013 meteorite strike in Russia.
Multi Search engines
Deeperweb.com – This is my favorite search engine. It breaks your results down into categories – general web, blogs, news, academic, cloud, metrics, research, etc. This allows you to quickly focus on the type of answer you were looking for. Makes my top 10 websites!
Zuula.com – nice multi engine aggregator
Surfwax – They have a 2011 interface for rss and a 2009 interface I think is better. Takes 60 seconds to understand how to use it.

Cluster Analysis Engine
TouchGraph – A brilliant clustering tool that shows you relationships in your search results using a damn spiffy visualization. The smart way to use it, is to let it help you find new sources to your search topic. I have to add, the wiggly effect on the visualization is damn cool, just grab the center item and move it to understand what I'm talking about. (sometimes it doesn't wiggle, however. Java issue?)
Yippy.com – A useful, non-graphical clustering of results. Give it 2 minutes of your time to understand how it works and it will give back hours of saved research time.
www.quintura.com – An interesting data mining search engine that shows related words to your target. Good if you aren't sure what the exact name of the subject is you seek
www.navagent.com/ – Not a web based search engine, requires you download software. Highly rated, very interesting especially to the 35F intel types.
Speciality Deep Web Engines
Infomine – comprehensive virtual library and reference tool for academics. But I've found it not too useful, better engines out there.
Archive.org – Huge behemoth of media now public domain – rare books, sound recordings, video, 20 year archived images of all old websites, and free audio books! Makes my top 10 list. (and my top 3)
WWW virtual library – a listing of indexes to industries. Need to know about Architecture? Biochemical war? Zoology? This may get you there.
FindArticles.com – FindArticles has articles from about 500 periodicals with coverage back to 1998, and is completely free of charge.
Library of Congress – loc.gov – Phenomenal digitized archives, 'American Memory' especially interesting. Includes a good newspaper archive.

What is SpyBot Search and Destroy?
Today, in order to protect yourself, it's best to also think about protecting your computer. With Spybot Search and Destroy, your computer is protected from adware files, trojans, dialers, browser hijackers, rootkits and other infectious malware software. Don't know what a rootkit is? No need to learn what it is now. With Spybot's help, your computer is protected.
Spybot Free Edition, you guessed it, is a free security software tough enough to stand up and fight most spyware, cookie-tracking softwares and aggressive advertisements (pop-ups). Instead of allowing malicious applications into your Window's registry, either to track or infect your computer, SpyBot Search and Destroy will prevent them from infiltrating your PC, and remove any unwanted cookie trackers, too. Though cookies are a 'normal‘ addition to surfing the web, some cookies are unwelcome, and can bog down your computer and browser.
Services from SpyBot Free Edition include:
- Anitspyware
- Anti-adware and ad removal
- Program cleaner
- Cookie cleaner
Spybot Search and Destroy Review
I have used the SpyBot Free Edition for many years. From my experience as a long-time Windows and internet user, I can't express my interest enough in this product. I would recommend running this software at least once a week to pick up the most intrusive spyware your computer has picked up from your website browsing history. If you are like me, you don't want websites to track your online habits.
Typically, I have seen that anti-virus software do not find concern in 'tracking cookies' or other programs specific to aggressive online marketing. With SpyBot Free Edition, my computer is protected where my anti-virus fails to perform.
Let's take a look at the basic and advanced tools in the information I have provided below.
Free Online Spyware Search &
How to Use SpyBot
Basic, advanced and professional tools are available through SpyBot to protect your computer. All basic tools, and most advanced tools are included in the free version. For additional tools and anti-virus protection, a paid version of SpyBot, the 'Professional', is available for purchase.
Basic Tools
To use the basic tools, first click the 'Update' button to stay up to date with the state-of-the-art software from SpyBot. This will have your computer ready to go with the latest and greatest before you begin the next step, scanning your computer.
The second step in using the basic tools is to do a 'System Scan'. This will systematically scan and detect any infections or cookies in your computer. Allow SpyBot to methodically go through the computer and detect any unwanted malware or other computer threats. Do this weekly, and your computer will be well protected.
Though not needed on a weekly basis, you can also click 'Immunize' to protect your Windows programs directly after new Windows updates are installed. Typically, a home user who 'immunizes' their computer after each Windows update, and scans their computer weekly with SpyBot, is very well protected. As you can see, with basic tools you get much more than ‚basic‘ or nominal protection.
Basic tools don't stop there, there are still many more features to the ‚basic‘ program. Use the 'Quarantine' tool to directly purge quarantined items from your computer. Additionally, click on 'Statistics' to check out and easily review your computer's latest scanning 'stats‘. You can never know ‚too much‘ about your computer! Conversely, learn more about recent development and news at SpyBot by clicking 'News!', or, consider thanking the engineers behind SpyBot by donating a small contribution through the 'Donate' link provided.

Advanced Tools
Let's take a look at what the Advanced Tools offer. Here you can easily learn how to optimize your computer with SpyBot's advanced protection technology.
Report Creator
Archive and keep track of SpyBot's performance through a SpyBot-created log, or archive. This log will support you or SpyBot's customer service support team in case you need help assessing internal problems in the future.
All log files are designed and saved in the location, 'C:ProgramDataSpybot – Search & DestroyLogs'.
Startup Tools
Startup Tools allow you the flexibility of when and how selected programs will run. Choose which programs you wish to run automatically or at start-up. This tool makes it very flexible to use specific programs though best altered only by advanced users.
