Which one do you think is better, 8 Skin Pack for 7 or Windows 8 UX Pack?
Currently, I'm using 8 Skin Pack.
(I hope this is the first post! :D)
VG
^^ Both are different. This pack doesnt modify system files on the other hand "8 Skin Pack for 7" modifies lots of system files to provide more windows 8 feeling. So if you dont want to play with system files, use this new pack otherwise stay with 8 Skin Pack.

Do you have a Windows 8 Aero theme for Windows 7 like the one on the leaked version of Windows 8 with big control buttons on the top right?
Thanks!

Detected "RemAdm-PSKill" Remote Admin Tool by McAfee Viruscan, the anti virus has deleted this file at Temp Folder.
What is this?
VG
^^ Don't worry. Its a false positive. PSKill is a utility to kill processes. Its used by software or such kind of packs to kill Explorer process or other process.
@Yvidhiatama
There are a few Windows 8 themes for Windows 7 in Windows 7 Themes section. Please check them.

I answered my own question.
OK! This is a Sysinternals tool to kill processes on remote systems. Anyway my antivirus has "killed" it XD.
