Anti VirusAutorun Eater - Ver: 2.5Autorun Eater was born due to the increase of malware using the ‘autorun.inf’ method to infect users unknowingly be it from flash drives, removable hard disks or any other removable storage device. When a device is infected with a malware and an ‘autorun.inf’ file is dropped, the shell menu is normally modified to execute the malware whenever the unsuspecting user accesses the infected drive. Autorun Eater will warn you and remove any suspicious ‘autorun.inf’ files(based on user decision/settings) so that the malware is not executed while accessing the infected drive. There are also certain cases whereby the malware has been removed by an anti virus but the ‘autorun.inf’ file remains. This will cause the drive to be inaccessible through the conventional method(double-click). Autorun Eater will also remove it if necessary so that you can access the drive as usual. Features:-

Minimum requirements: Windows XP/ Vista/ 7/ .NET Framework 2.0 Digital ImagingChasys Draw IES - Ver: 3.66.02Chasys Draw IES (formerly Chasys Draw Artist) is a suite of applications including a layer-based image editor with animation, vista-style icon support and super-resolution via image stacking (Chasys Draw IES Artist), a multi-threaded image file converter (Chasys Draw IES Converter) and a fast image viewer (Chasys Draw IES Viewer). Chasys Draw IES application was designed to be a drawing program like no other. Chasys Draw IES Artist is the main image editor and paint program in the IES suite. It's also the parent application from with the rest of the suite evolved. Chasys Draw IES Artist was initially designed for painting images that look real enough to easily pass for photos. As a field of study, image editing has come a long way, with new ideas coming up and even rendering irrelevant traditional methods that are considered industry standards. Unfortunately, most image editors still stick to tradition. In designing Chasys Draw IES Artist, the main intention was to address this need; to provide you with an image editor with all the new ideas and none of the old. As the application evolved, photo-editing features were added, as were animation and stacking. Chasys Draw IES Artist has over time grown into a powerful image editor that takes a radically different approach to image editing, resulting in distinctive character, speed and output quality. Features:-

CheckDisk is quite similar to the ScanDisk tool or chkdsk.exe, supplied with the Windows operating systems. You can select either standard or full tests. The full test additionally performs a sector check. It is capable of finding bad sectors on your disk and marking them as such. CheckDisk will work with HDD's (including SCSI and RAID), removable media and CDs. NOTE : Some anti virus and anti spyware programs flag CheckDisk as being infected/malware, although the application is perfectly safe and does not pose a threat to your system. This is called a 'false positive'. The term false positive is used when anti virus software wrongly classifies an innocuous ( inoffensive ) file as a virus. The incorrect detection may be due to heuristics or to an incorrect virus signature in a database. [Similar problems can occur with anti trojan or anti spyware software.] Minimum requirements: Windows all SpaceSniffer - Ver: 1.1.3.1SpaceSniffer analyses a selected hard drive and presents you with a dynamic disk map that makes it easy to spot files and folder that take up most of your space. You can review the map in real-time while the application is scanning, and any changes made (e.g file deletions, renames, new files added) during the scan are automatically reflected without the need to rescan. A comprehensive user manual is supplied. Minimum requirements: Windows 2000/ XP/ Vista/ 7 E-book SoftwarePdfMasher - Ver: 0.6.1A tool to convert PDF files containing text in ready - for - e-book HTML files. Most ebook readers support PDF files natively, but it's often a real pain to read those documents because we don't have font size control over the document like we have with native ebooks. In many cases, we have to use the zooming feature and it's just a pain. Another drawback of PDF's on ebook readers is that annotations are not supported. PdfMasher asks the user about the role of each piece of text, and does it in an efficient manner. Your PDF has a header on each page and you don't want them to litter your text? Sort text elements by Y-position (thus grouping them all together), shift select the elements and flag them as ignored. They will not appear on your final HTML.' Your PDF has footnotes on many pages? Sort your elements by text content (thus grouping all elements with the text starting with a number together) and flag them as footnotes. They will be moved to the end of the document, and PdfMasher will try to create hyperlinks to footnote references.

Minimum requirements: Windows 2000/ XP/ Vista/ 7 SPAMfighter - Ver: 7.3.64If you are looking for an Outlook or Outlook Express tool to remove spam and phishing emails from your inbox, look no further. SPAMfighter is the tool you are looking for. Simple, reliable and efficient. A lot of anti-spam products rely on filters and other rule-based technologies, but spammers work every day to get around these filters. What works one day, doesn't work the next. SPAMfighter uses a very different strategy. SPAMfighter harnesses the power of a very large community of people who instantly report any spam or phishing messages they receive. Once several people have reported the same email, it is automatically filtered for the rest of the community. In this way, very few people in the community will ever see the spam or phishing email. In addition, a lot of spam and phishing emails are filtered out before they ever reach the community, but the way we do that is secret and not something we will give away. The spammers might be reading about us as well ;-). If you use SPAMfighter, you will stop receiving spam instantly, and if by chance you do receive a spam message, you get the satisfaction of reporting it and removing it for all other community members with a single click. Join the more than 3.7 million SPAMfighters across the globe that have a clean inbox. SPAMfighter is currently available in English, German, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, Swedish, Norwegian, Dutch, Italian, Greek, Suomi, Bulgarian, and Danish Limitations: You get SPAMfighter Pro one month for free.

Minimum requirements: Windows 2000/ XP/ 2003/ Vista/ 7 Chromium - Ver: 16.0.890.0Chromium is an open source web browser that was designed in order to provide for all users a safer, faster, and more stable way to experience the web. In the long term, we think of Chromium as a tabbed window manager or shell for the web rather than a browser application. We avoid putting things into our UI in the same way you would hope that Apple and Microsoft would avoid putting things into the standard window frames of applications on their operating systems. The tab is our equivalent of a desktop application's title bar; the frame containing the tabs is a convenient mechanism for managing groups of those applications. In future, there may be other tab types that do not host the normal browser toolbar. Enhanced functionality through HTML 5: offline modes, background processing, notifications, and more. While the tab bar is sufficient to access existing tabs, we are creating a new primary access point that provides a list of frequently used applications and tools. While we're not a natively-themed application, we do wish to fit within the operating system so that our app doesn't look out of place. This affects our choices of:-
Minimum requirements: Windows XP/ Vista/ 7 DomainHostingView - Ver: 1.05DomainHostingView is a utility for Windows that collects extensive information about a domain by using a series of DNS and WHOIS queries, and generates HTML report that can be displayed in any Web browser.

NetBalancer is an internet traffic control and monitoring tool designed for Windows XP/2003/Vista/Win7 (except Vista/Win7 x64 - they will be supported in a next version). You can use NetBalancer to set download/upload transfer rate priority for any applications and monitor their internet traffic. Applications with a higher network priority will gain more traffic bandwidth than those with a lower one. The most important features of NetBalancer are set download and upload network priority for any process. Currently supported priorities are:-
Also NetBalancer has a menu option "Request a Feature". Using it, a user can notify us of a feature that he/she would like to see implemented. We value feedback and strongly consider implementing each request. The main difference between NetBalancer and other traffic shaping software is that NetBalancer works with priorities, so applications with low priority won't be limited if other high priority applications don't use network. Limitations: The Free version is limited to 5 process priorities/limits at a time. Minimum requirements: Windows XP/ Vista/ 7 PortScan - Ver: 1.19Find all active devices on your network. Discover the ip address and available services for each network device. Scan Ports Search Devices Ping Devices Simple Port Forwarding - Ver: 3.2.5Simple Port Forwarding works with WebPages and not directly with your router. Making it a safe program to use. Its no different than using Firefox, IE or any other browser to setup port forwarding yourself. The program works by automating the process for you. So whether you don't understand how to forward ports, or your simply looking for an easier way to forward ports then this program is for you. It's port forwarding made simple. The main interface of the program is small and clean. Giving options of seeing what is going to be forwarded to the router and how many entries and ports it will use in the process. You have the ability to save your list and send it to another user of the program. An example would be, lets say you have a family member who lives far from you and doesn't really understand port forwarding, so instead of spending a lot of time over the phone walking them through it you can simply have them use the program and have them load the list and update their router, then your all done. Now that's a time saver. The program has a large database of known ports for over 700+ games and programs, so finding the port you need is made a little easier. The program has many extra tools, such as a tool to set your IP to static or back to DHCP. When port forwarding the router forwards to an IP address. When DHCP is enabled your IP address can change and thus breaking the port forwarding. By setting your IP to static it never changes. I added this tool to make setting a static IP as easy as possible for people instead of manually doing it on there systems (Which if a person has never done it before can be a little intimidating). The Program also makes adding the ports to the windows firewall as easy as a few clicks! Once you have your ports forwarded you can then test to see if they can be accessed right from with in the program using the built in port tester.

Minimum requirements: Windows all/ Java Runtime Environment 1.6 ProgrammingProgrammer's Notepad - Ver: 2.3.4.2350Programmer's Notepad is a very powerful text editor featuring syntax highlighting, project management, a great UI and much more. Features:-
Minimum requirements: Windows 2000/ XP/ Vista/ 7 SciTE - Ver: 2.2.9The author's description follows:-
It is best used for jobs with simple configurations - I use it for building test and demonstration programs as well as SciTE and Scintilla, themselves. Development of Scintilla started as an effort to improve the text editor in PythonWin. After being frustrated by problems in the Richedit control used by PythonWin, it looked like the best way forward was to write a new edit control. The biggest problem with Richedit and other similar controls is that they treat styling changes as important persistent changes to the document so they are saved into the undo stack and set the document's dirty flag. For source code, styling should not be persisted as it can be mechanically recreated. Scintilla is a free source code editing component. It comes with complete source code and a license that permits use in any free project or commercial product. As well as features found in standard text editing components, Scintilla includes features especially useful when editing and debugging source code. These include support for syntax styling, error indicators, code completion and call tips. The selection margin can contain markers like those used in debuggers to indicate breakpoints and the current line. Styling choices are more open than with many editors, allowing the use of proportional fonts, bold and italics, multiple foreground and background colours and multiple fonts." Minimum requirements: Windows XP/ Vista/ 7 SecurityActive KillDisk - Ver: 5.5.0Active KillDisk is a quality security application that destroys data permanently from any computer that can be started using a DOS bootable floppy disk, USB Flash or CD-ROM.

When installing software, never just click past the license agreement. Pop it into EULAlyzer, and EULAlyze it! Minimum requirements: Windows all Moo0 FileShredder - Ver: 1.17As reviewed by CNET:-
"Delete" should mean "outta here," not "Level 1 Wipe" or whatever. But drag and drop files into Moo0 FileShredder, and it will zap them using one of four algorithms until they are completely unrecoverable. FileShredder's "Drop Box" interface is a small dialog that we could drag around the desktop as well as resize by grabbing and dragging its corners. Its View menu offers various check box options like Keep on Top and Easy Drag, and we could select from a huge list of languages as well as translate more from the Language menu. Other than that, there's just the Drop Box and the Method selector. The software's Web page offered plenty of assistance, but FileShredder explains itself very clearly indeed in the Method list's four levels: Shred Once (Normally Unrecoverable); Extra Carefully (Even More Secure); Into Ashes (Extremely Secure); and Vaporise (Vanish It!). The software also offers a Detailed Description interface with more data on each algorithm. How does it work? Just great, even with folders too large for the Recycle Bin to swallow. Should you care if your deleted files are recoverable? Well, do you care if people sift through your trash for bank statements and other highly personal stuff? It's just plain common sense. If you think you might need something later or don't care how long it hangs around, throw it in the Recycle Bin; that's why it's called the "Recycle Bin," not "The Incinerator." If you want it gone from your system, set FileShredder to max level and take out the trash." NOTE : Unless you opt out, the Babylon toolbar will be installed, and later in the install, unless you opt out again, Complitly will also be installed.

:- No effort has been made to dress up the program's utilitarian interface, which consists of seven large buttons, a few fields, and a drop-down menu. A plain text box advises users to paste URL's in the field, and this is all the onscreen guidance you'll need. Once you see the video title in the field, you click Download and the program goes to work. The process wasn't lightening quick, but considering the size of some of our test files, it wasn't bad. Converted files played without a hitch. The beauty of this converter lies in its simple set up. By default, converted files are saved into the program's folder in My Documents, and they retain the name of the source video. The files are saved as MP3s, normal quality. These settings are easily changed, though, with quick-access buttons and a drop-down menu. The most work a user might have to do is fill out the fields in the optional Tags fields for artist, title, track, and other information. Sadly, the program doesn't integrate with your browser, but you can opt to have it automatically pick up URL's from the clipboard, which eliminates one step from the cutting and pasting process. It also installs the Ask.com Toolbar and resets your home page to the Ask.com Web site by default, so if you don't want these extras, you'll have to uncheck some boxes during the installation process. These inconveniences are offset by the fact that this program is not only effective, it also costs nothing to use. We highly recommend Free YouTube to MP3 Converter for any user." NOTE : Unless you opt out, the program will install it's own toolbar etc. Minimum requirements: Windows XP/ Vista/ 7 Satsuki Decoder Pack - Ver: 4.3.0.14The goal of this pack is to decode all types of videos from your PC.
