Screenshot enables you capture your screen picture and edit them with a variety of on-screen text formats which beautifies your screenshots. It really works well for me. There are a couple of features that gives it an edge over HyperSnap & SnagIT.

Screenshot Captor is designed for grabbing lots of screenshots with minimal intervention. It has multi monitor support and includes a full image explorer with full shell functionality and unsurpassed integration with external tools like graphic editors, watermarkers, etc. It also supports unique effects not seen in other capture tools including the ability to automatically locate and enhance the active window.

Key features include:

• Optimized for taking lots of screenshots with minimal intervention.
• Smart autonaming of files, and ability to embed textual comments in files.
• Good multi-monitor support.
• Highly configurable to make it work the way you want it to; stays out of your way in         the system tray.
• Lots of capture modes: Multimon (multiple monitors), Desktop, Active Window, Region, Windows Object. Each mode has a hotkey for quick access.
• Unique Cool Effects, including automatic active window enhancement (see pictures below).
• Unsurpassed support for 3rd party user configurable tools, including file browsers and image editors; extend the program to do whatever you need by interfacing it with other programs.
• Slimline sidebar file browser provides full shell operations.
• Optional automatic image file versioning.

And much more…

I’m sure the first thing that comes to mind when you come across Teen Spirit is maybe some sort of software on youth development or some kind of motivational mumbo jumbo. But to some degree of disappointment, it is one heluva media player. Now this isn’t like most media players where you buy an extra media organizer to organize your files.

Teen spirit comes with best-of-its-kind organizer which allows you organize your audio and video files and like with other players, automatically connects to the internet and retrieve info such as biographies, reviews, album covers, and lyrics (can you beat that?). the user interface is so beautiful, you’ll just love looking at it.

Now the best thing about Teen Spirit is that Teen Spirit has been developed in C++ for speed and efficiency so you need not worry about how fast a file is loaded on the media. It automatically creates a playlist of favorite songs depending on how often you play the songs. I can honestly say that this is a make-sensuous player.

If you’re in the market for an advanced DVD backup software with loads of features and burning options, this is truly a feature-rich product, and certainly one of the best of its kind.

I have problem with it though, it is rarely updated. Magic DVD Copier is a DVD copy software, which allows you copy DVD movies to blank DVDs without loss of quality. You can then enjoy it on any PC or home DVD player. And it can also copy DVD movies to your hard drive without loss of quality; you can then enjoy them anytime without DVD discs.

I like the fact that it also does video conversion, but the file formats are limited to M4A, MP4, MPG, AVI, Mp3, WMA, WMV and 3GP. I wish it could do formats like RMVB, VBR, RM and couple others.

Other than the little short comings, it works well for me. Go get yours now.

Key features include:

• Copy DVD movie to blank DVD in 1:1 mode
• Compress a DVD9 movie to a 4.7 GB blank DVD
• Split a DVD9 movie to two 4.7 GB blank DVDs without any loss of quality
• Copy main movie or specified titles only
• Copy DVD movie to hard drive and burn DVD movie from hard drive
• Remove all the restrictions of DVD (CSS, Region, RCE, Sony ARccOS, PuppetLock)
• And lots more

Plax Network Suite is a very interesting piece of software because it is the proverbial all-rounder of internet security.  It provides you with offensive modes as well as defensive modes and because of that it really is the real deal when it comes to online internet security.

In the defensive category, it has a firewall for starters.  This firewall is simply an on/off switch that operates in a way similar to the firewall Windows already comes with.  That firewall however can leak like a sieve at times, while the Plax Network firewall will ensure that the vast majority of internet communication that could be harmful to your computer is blocked.  For this reason, it is a great defensive tool.  In addition to the firewall however, Plax Network Suite also comes with a function that allows you to view all of your ports in TCP/IP and UDP to make sure nothing is amiss and it also comes with an instant freeze option that allows you to stop all internet activity just by pressing it.

On the offensive side, Plax Network Suite comes with both an IP cloaking mechanism as well as an active recon tool that you can use to scan an IP address and see which ports are open.  It is not recommended that you use this for the targeting of other computers, but a way to make sure that nothing amiss is being directed at you.

Now this is a software that hasn’t (to the best of my knowledge) gotten any negative remarks in the last three years.

This version has been worked on so that it not only supports Java scripts and VBScript for the text editing macros, but also PerlScript, PHPScript, Python, Ruby, and other languages as long as script engines you want to use are installed. Plus, it supports macros and advanced features and it now support very large files up to 284 GB, isn’t that cool, that like two full hardisks.

Go get yours; it’s fairly priced though there are others you could for get for free but ……. Try it out.

Our everyday live is filled with so many wanted and unstoppable rubbishes like crime, illness and things that affect our productivity negatively. Most times we look to district police departments to ensure decorum. It gets really tiring. Our computers also face this same situation with viruses and spy wares. I kinda likened hitman pro to Clark Kent , it’s unbelievable. It stops even the most dreaded and stubborn TROJAN.win32.autoit.dt, I found out that not even kapersky could deal with it.

One thing that really impresses  me about the company that designed Hitman  is their dedication to its consumers. They actually work on reviews and consumer complaints daily. There was a complaint on Hitman Pro and they looked into it saw ther flaws and came out with Hitman Pro 3.

Hitman pro is designed in AutoIt macro scripting language so no spyware or viruses stand any chance. I think you should get yours.
