HouseCall - Ver: 7.1

PCWorld Review of HouseCall (32-bit version) :-

"Trend Micro - one of the most respected companies in security software--offers HouseCall, a free Web-based utility that scans for and cleans your computer of all currently documented viruses, Trojans and other malware.

In addition, HouseCall seeks out firewall problems and other vulnerabilities, and makes suggestions for correcting them. We do not recommend using HouseCall in lieu of an installed security program. But it has saved our computers numerous times, when all else failed. Its new version is not only compatible with Windows 7, but you can download either a 32-bit or 64-bit version of its launcher.

Setting up HouseCall is a breeze. You can choose to do a Quick Scan, Full Scan or Custom Scan (choosing which drives and folders - including connected network drives - will be analysed). If you're in a hurry, you may also want to check the option to have HouseCall fix all found problems. If you prefer to look at each problem found, and select which ones to fix, leave that option unchecked.

Then, click on Scan Now, and sit back and wait. Depending on the size and density of your drives, the type scan you choose, the speed of your computer, and the speed of your internet connection, it can take fifteen minutes (for a Quick Scan of critical system files) to several hours (for Complete or comprehensive Custom Scans). Our Custom Scan of all folders and files on two local and four network drives took five hours and four minutes.

Unlike previous versions of HouseCall, which ran completely online, this newest iteration uses a downloadable launcher. That means you no longer have to worry about browser compatibilities or having the latest Java installed. During the scan, the launcher first verifies that you have the latest version of the program, and automatically downloads any updates you might need, before actually launching. We feel that is an extra step that shouldn't be necessary, when you've just downloaded the launcher; shouldn't it be the newest version already? Once launched, HouseCall Then, it checks file patterns on your computer against Trend Micro's latest database of malicious files, via your Internet connection. A progress bar and timer tell you how much time has lapsed and the percentage of the job that is complete, so you can walk away and know approximately when to return.

When the scan is complete, HouseCall generates a report of all threats found and actions taken to fix the problems. It also provides information for any that were found but not repaired, so that you can investigate further. This time around, it found nothing on our test system - happily. Other times that we've used it, HouseCall has located and neutralized considerable threats to our systems.

Trend Micro is known for its aggressive and frequent updates of malware definitions, which means that HouseCall will catch the vast majority of active malicious files that might lurk in your system. But, because of its thoroughness, HouseCall can be time-consuming. It's best to run it at a time when you aren't planning to use your computer, such as overnight.

HouseCall is a great resource for anyone who suspects that their computer woes may be related to malicious files - or for those who just want to double-check that their installed security program is doing its job.

NOTE : This software comes in 32-bit and 64-bit versions. This is the 32-bit version. If your 64-bit PC is running a 64-bit OS, please download the 64-bit version instead."

Disk Tools

CleverCleaner - Ver: 2.1

CleverCleaner is a very easy to run application and in the options window you can add or delete file suffixes.

You sometimes don't know that little files and huge temporary directories (downloads and so on) are filling up your disk. CleverCleaner locates these files and deletes them. This way you can gain a lot of free space very fast.

The method: The program searches the hard disk for the suffixes of files like *.tmp *, *~.* or *.chk and deletes them.

That's very useful if you download or copy much data. Sure, most of these files are little, but you know? Many a mickle makes a muckle! On a test machine, we got over 800 megabytes of free disk space.

But the cleaning of the hard drive is only worth it once a month.

That is useful if you don't want to delete all the *.bak-files for example. And don't panic about important system-files: They're listed in the exceptions below, and thus they're safe. You may also add and delete custom entries there as well. A little help is built in in the statusbar.

ieSpell - Ver: 2.6.4 (Build 573)

ieSpell is a free Internet Explorer browser extension that spell checks text input boxes on a web page.

It should come in particularly handy for users who do a lot of web-based text entry (e.g. web mails, forums, blogs, diaries). Even if your web application already includes spell checking functionality, you might still want to install this utility because it is definitely much faster than a server-side solution. Plus you get to store and use your personal word list across all your applications, instead of maintaining separate ones on each application.

The program installs as a new button in the IE toolbar (as well as a new menu item under "Tools") - after filling in a form, just hit the ieSpell button and it pops up a dialog, similar to the MS Word spell check. ieSpell also works (right-click menu only) on other IE based browsers such as SlimBrowser, CrazyBrowser, MSN, MyIE, etc.

ieSpell is not spyware or adware. It's free for personal use only. All other use requires a commercial license. See Licensing for more information.

If you find ieSpell useful, please express your satisfaction with a donation. Your donations will help to support its future development. Thank you!

Features :-

• Completely standalone spell checker for your web browser. Does not require Microsoft Office or any other third party components.
  
• Integrates flawlessly with Internet Explorer and other IE based browsers.
  
• Three ways to start the spell check; via the right click context menu, the toolbar or the menu bar.
  
• Supports a wide range of web applications including simple text forms, rich text editors, forums, blogs, webmail (including Outlook Web Access and Lotus iNotes) and more!
  
• Spell check in any of the 3 variants (US, UK and Canadian) of the English Language!
  
• Suggestions are sorted by the degree of closeness with the misspelled word.
  
• Intelligent suggesting for misspelled words using typographic “looks like” matching.
  
• Easily add/remove your personal words in ieSpell via an intuitive user interface!
  
• Organise your personal words in individual custom dictionaries! Share them with your friends and co-workers over the network!
  
• Integrates with Microsoft Office's proofing tools. Have ieSpell share the same copy of the custom dictionary so that when you add/remove your personal words in ieSpell, the same is reflected in Microsoft Office and vice versa!
  
• ieSpell suggested a word that you are not familiar with? Look up its meaning in an online dictionary!
  
• Powerful API for web application developers.
  
• Force users to spell check the document before submission.
  
• Ignore certain text fields.

Security

Password Corral - Ver: 4.0.4.154

Password Corral will use the 128-bit Diamond2 Block Cipher to encrypt all the information you store in the program, keeping it safe from prying eyes.

Each password can have both a short description and a long description which can also contain hyperlinks to launch your web browser, open folders on your PC or launch applications.

Each password entry can also have an expiration date to remind you to change the password. Password Corral can be set to time out to the Windows system tray area after a specified period of system inactivity and be protected by your master password, so even if you forget to close Password Corral and walk away from your PC, your password info can still be protected.

Password Corral is very customisable allowing you to display your password information unencrypted on the screen, change the display fonts and hyperlink colour and modify many of the security aspects of the program. You can export your password data in an encrypted (or unencrypted) format to keep a safe backup of your data or to transfer your passwords to another PC.

Best of all Password Corral features a clean, easy to use, standard Windows interface - no wild icons or weird dialog boxes - you'll be up and running as soon as you start the program!

Here are some key features of "Password Corral":

Single Repository for all your Passwords:
· Now you can have a single place to store all your passwords. Use a single password that you choose to encrypt all the passwords you use. Never forget one again!

Blowfish or Diamond2 Encryption:
· 256-bit Blowfish or 128-bit Diamond2 encryption stands between you and those unscrupulous persons with prying eyes. Unless they know your master password, they can't see your data.

Password Information:
· Passwords are kept in custom groups that you create, and can be nested within each other. Each password you store in Password Corral can also have a description, username, comments, URL and e-mail address, all encrypted just like your password information. No more forgetting which password went with which system. This information can be sorted as you like and printed as well.

Password Generator:
· Passwords Corral includes a random password generator that allows you to quickly create a random password of up to 20 characters of numbers, letters or special characters. The generator is configurable and allows you to choose how to generate the password.

Password Expiration:
· Any password can be set to expire after a given number of days. Password Corral will then issue a warning when a password has expired and allow you to change it at that time. This will help remind you to change your passwords for better security.

Multiple Users on the Same PC:
· Any user of your PC can create a new Password Corral account. The program keeps track of individual users and their data. Everyone's information is protected with their own, individual password and encrypted. Note: Password Corral does not support simultaneous use of a single user account by multiple users.

Password Protect Program Features:
· You can lock Password Corral and require entry of your master password before once again using the program. This allows you to keep Password Corral running all the time and still protect your data while you are away from your PC. You can set Password Corral to time out to the system tray after a period of time of system inactivity and protect it there with your master password.

Hyperlinks in the Comments Field:
· Any HTTP, FTP or WWW links you place in the comments field for your passwords automatically become hyperlinks, and clicking on them will start the default web browser and take you to that site. Hyperlinks in the URL column can also be clicked.

Flexible Display Options:
· You can choose to display information encrypted or in plain text on screen, choose your own font for the password list and comments field and select a custom colour for hyperlinks.

Import/Export Passwords:
· Password Corral can export your password list to a text file easily! Copy the file to any other PC that has Password Corral, create a new user account for yourself and then import the passwords. Your passwords will now be available on the new PC. The text file also makes a handy backup in case of disaster. Import options are flexible and allow you to merge your existing password list with a different set of passwords from an export file. An auto-export feature allows you to create a backup password file each time you exit the program. And as you'd expect, the export text file is encrypted as well.

Full On-line Help:
· Password Corral comes with complete, context sensitive on-line help. Just press 'F1' in any dialog box for specific information.

Clean, Easy-to-use, Attractive Interface:
· Password Corral's interface uses the same Windows features you're already used to. No wild icons, sloppy window layouts, unnecessary buttons or toolbars; just a clean interface that makes sense, is easy to use and adheres to standard Windows guidelines.

Delayed Shutdown - Ver: 3.0

Televisions often have a timer built in that will allow you to fall asleep watching TV and have the TV shut itself off after awhile. Delayed Shutdown works along the same concept.

Set up a timer of any length and hit Start, and after the timer counts down, the PC will shut off.This allows you to safely put on some music and sleep in the office without having to worry about your power bill. Or, if your PC is performing a critical task and you're leaving the house, give Delayed Shutdown plenty of time for the task to complete, then have it shut the whole thing down. For those sharing a single PC among many, Delayed Shutdown is also a way to ensure that the next person can't access any of your files.

NOTE : If there are any windows open when Delayed Shutdown finishes its visual countdown (no audio include), it won't prompt you to save any of them; it'll force quit out of everything and go straight to shutdown. Also, you can stop the shutdown before the countdown is finished, but nothing you can do will prevent it from happening after that, even clicking "cancel" on a save prompt. Every app is given a few seconds to save, and then it's gone, and the system then shuts down. Be sure and save everything open before using Delayed Shutdown.

That said, Delayed Shutdown does its job well and doesn't get hung up by anything. It says it will
shut down, and it will. Therefore, anyone needing a delayed system shutdown for any reason should take advantage of this free utility.

MyUninstaller - Ver: 1.60

As reviewed by CNet -

"There comes the time in every computer program's life when it outlives its usefulness. Whenever this happens, uninstalling the program is the best option. MyUninstaller wants to be the tool for the job and promises more information and ease than Windows' built-in uninstaller.

This freeware jumps into action with an interface that is equally informative and simple to operate. The bulk of the program is dominated by a list of every program on your computer. Next to each icon and name is its version, the company that produced it, and a brief description of what the program does. Users scroll through the alphabetical list of programs and select the one they wish to uninstall. A simple click on the Uninstall icon and the job is done. The program's display also offers users opportunities to keep files, copy, change installation, and search.

MyUninstall quickly and easily erased programs in our tests, but we hit a few snags. We encountered unexplained options like Quiet Uninstall. A trip to the Help menu revealed a terrible screen that provided absolutely no guidance.

That said, we had no issues with the program's primary uninstall features. If you are tired of Windows' uninstaller, you'll lose nothing by trying this freeware."

SP TimeSync - Ver: 2.4

SP TimeSync is a program with multilingual interface which lets you synchronize your computer's clock with any Internet atomic clock (time server).

It uses a high precision network time protocol (NTP) which provides accuracy of several
milliseconds depending on the characteristics of the synchronization source and network paths. And the best thing of all is that clock synchronization can be done with only a few mouse clicks.

NOTE : Free for non-commercial uses only. For commercial use, you will need to purchase a license.

Here are some key features of "SP TimeSync" :-

Synchronize the time with two mouse clicks:
· SP TimeSync has a very simple interface, you can start using it immediately without reading any manuals. Just click the Get time and then Adjust clock button in order to set the exact time on your computer.

Keep your computer's clock accurate automatically:
· You can configure SP TimeSync to do its task fully automatically. It can either be launched from the task scheduler or stay minimized into a taskbar icon and synchronize the time periodically.

Don't waste the resources of your computer:
· The size of SP TimeSync executable file is less than 100 Kb. It creates windows, allocates memory and loads all required libraries dynamically only for a small period of time when these resources are really required, and it frees all the resources immediately after use. Therefore you can run this program as a background task without slowing down your computer.

Take advantage of your HyperThreating/DualCore CPU or multi-processor system:
· SP TimeSync creates additional working thread for time synchronizing which is running simultaneously with main thread. This allows to speed up and improve the precision of time synchronizing.

Save the network traffic:
· Only two packets (request and response) with 48 bytes of payload data each are used to retrieve the correct time. Just for one megabyte of traffic you can perform the time synchronization more than 5000 times (this is about 15 years if synchronizing the time once a day).

Work safe within a restricted user environment:
· SP TimeSync does not need any administrative privileges, installation is not required, you can run it from any folder with read-only access rights (write-protected floppy disk, CD-ROM or DVD-ROM, USB Flash drive, flash memory card, shared network folder etc).

Enjoy user interface in your native language:
· You can download and install the language pack for SP TimeSync. This will let you chose the language you prefer for displaying all the text strings and messages. If your native language is currently absent in the language pack, you can easily make the appropriate translation yourself.
