K-Meleon - The Browser You Control

2007-07-19T20:18:00.001-07:00

K-Meleon - The Browser You Control

This lean, mean browser opens Web sites lightning fast.

Most of the world is familiar with the Open Source browser Firefox. But Firefox isn't the only Open Source browser out there, and as K-Meleon shows, it's not the leanest, either.

When Firefox was released, one of the benefits it touted was that it didn't consume nearly as much memory as Internet Explorer. But those days are gone, with many people complaining about Firefox memory leaks.

File Shredder 1.20

2007-07-07T00:13:00.000-07:00

File Shredder

Completely shred files so that they can't be recovered.
Delete a file and it's gone from your PC, right? Wrong.

Even when you delete it and then remove it from your Recycle Bin, it can be re-created, using special software.

To protect your privacy, when you delete a file, you'd like it to stay deleted. That's what this freebie does. It rewrites any file or folder with a random series of binary data --- and does it multiple times.

You have a choice of five different shredding algorithms. It's as easy a program to use as you can imagine. Just choose your files, tell the program to shred them, and they'll be gone forever.

Photozig Albums Express

2007-05-02T01:48:00.000-07:00

Create albums from your photo collection, edit photos, and share them with others, via the Web or CD.

If you've got lots of photos you'll appreciate this freebie, which organizes your pictures, along with short videos and songs, into albums. You'll be able to create multiple albums, organized in any way you want, easily search and browse for photos with tools such as keyword search and filters.

You'll also find photo editing tools built in, such as red-eye fix, resizing and cropping, changing the contrast and brightness, and so on. There's even a full set of tools for sharing photos, including burning them to CD, and sharing them on the Web, or easily sending them via email.

One of the program's nicer features is its customizable interface. Select either beginner, intermediate, or advanced, and the interface changes. At a beginner level, it's all graphically based; intermediate and advanced offer the ability to browse via a Windows Explorer-like interface, and to see hidden files and folders.

ImgBurn v2.3.2.0

2007-04-26T07:17:00.000-07:00

If you need to back up CDs or DVDs, or made CDs or DVDs from .ISO files, you won't find a simpler program than this.

Looking to copy a homemade DVD? That's just one of the many tasks you can accomplish with ImgBurn. It's a combination disk-burner and disk-reader that's about a simple a program as you'll find, but will tackle pretty much whatever disk-burning task you throw at it.

How's this for simple: Put a CD or DVD in your drive, and select Mode --> Read, and the program reads the disc. Then click the Read button, and it will create an .ISO image file on your PC, which is an image of the disc. To burn that image to a CD or DVD, you only need to click a few buttons.

Even if you don't need to back up CDs or DVDs, you'll find the program useful, because some programs are distributed as .ISO files which need to be burned before they could be used. For example, beta versions of Windows Vista were commonly made available online as .ISO files.

System Information for Windows

This utility provides detailed information about your computer's hardware, operating system, installed programs, and more.

Think you know the innards of your Windows system? Well think again. Download and run this program, and you'll realize just how little you know. It's probably the most comprehensive free system analyzer you'll find anywhere. It gives you a complete rundown of all your hardware and software, your system setup, your audio and video codecs, your motherboard, network cards, systems slots?and that's just the beginning. It also includes real-time monitors for things such as network, RAM, and CPU use.

How much detail does it give? Consider these few bits of data. It will tell you the temperature of your CPU --- and if you've got a dual-core processor, it will show you the temperature of each. It'll even tell you the temperature of your hard disk. And it somehow also managed to report on your software license keys as well, including for Windows and your installed software.

In a simple, tabbed interface, you'll find out all that, and plenty more as well, such as a list of all the programs that run on startup, and a comprehensive listing of your system hardware and software. The program does more than peer into your system, though. It also lets you take actions, such as stopping and starting processes and services, and halting unwanted programs from running on startup.

Eusing Free Registry Cleaner

2007-04-20T20:13:00.000-07:00

Clean up your Registry to keep your PC in tip-top shape.

The more software and hardware you install and uninstall, the more full your Registry gets. A great deal of software doesn't clean up after itself, and leaves behind old and obsolete Registry entries, or upon install creates invalid ones. There will be pointers to missing DLLs, listings of no-longer-valid file extensions, invalid paths, invalid ActiveX Controls, and much more. The more your Registry fills with this junk, the slower your PC gets and the more often you'll have system crashes.

Eusing Free Registry Cleaner helps to fix the problem in a simple, two-step process. Tell it to scan your Registry, and it goes through and identifies common problems and junk.

Then tell it to repair the Registry, and it tidies things up. Because changing the Registry can have serious impact on your system, the program lets you first look at the problems it finds, and tell it to only fix some of them. If you get into trouble, the program also lets you revert to the previous version of the Registry.

Jetico Personal Firewall for Windows

2007-04-14T20:56:00.000-07:00

A free personal firewall that helps keep your PC safe from Web miscreants.

The free Jetico Personal Firewall for Windows solves many Internet security problems by blocking dangerous outbound connections. Every time a program tries to make an outbound connection, you get a notification, and you decide whether to allow it or not. Let familiar and safe programs through; don't let dangerous ones make the connection. (If you're not sure what to do, search Google for the file name, and you?ll quickly find out whether it's safe or not.)

If you're sure the program is a safe one, choose "Handle as Application Trusted Zone," when allowing it through so that it can make outbound connections without you having to allow it through ever time. If you instead select "Allow this Activity," you'll be asked every time the program needs to make an outbound connection.

The firewall also includes a traffic monitor, and a log that keeps track of all network events.

a-squared HiJackFree 2.1

2007-04-14T20:51:00.000-07:00

This program looks for Malware and kills it.

a-squared Free comes in. It looks for spyware, adware, Trojans, worms, bots, dialers, and other neer-do-wells. Once it finds them, it will kill them for you as well.

You can also choose to first put software it finds into a quarantine, to make sure that it in fact is malware, before deleting it. This program digs deep -- not only will it find and kill spyware, but it will even detect "traces" such as Registry entries, and kill them as well.

a-squared doesn't offer real-time spyware protection, and won't protect your PC against getting infected in the first place; for that you'll need another piece of anti-spyware. But it's free, and so is ideal to use as a second or third spyware killer on your PC.
