What this means is that a configuration file for X is no longer needed in most cases.

Screenshot Captor is specifically designed to help you grab different kinds of screenshots, with or without much user intervention. The program comes with a multi monitor support that includes complete image explorer, full shell functionality and integration with external tools. The external tools support graphic editors, and watermarkers.

Screenshot captor 2.81.01 is a freeware, and is fully loaded with extra new features to enable users have an even richer experience while using it. Some of the features you can also enjoy include: good multi-coloured support; unique cool effect; optional automatic image file versioning; seamless integration with Unicode image maker tool; etc.

Screenshot Captor is one of those very few freeware programs that are way above my expectations in terms of quality. I am always of the opinion that even if a program is tagged a freeware, it shouldn’t take anything away from its performance. Some programs don’t exactly give value for money even when users pay for them.

The aim of the publishers is to create a program that every user will find easy to use; and if you ask me, I think they are on the right path. The publishers juts added a new feature; the full set of scanner acquisition tools and scanner image correction.

This is supposed to be a program to help the speed of your computer, and hope it sticks to just that. It is capable of repairing multiple problems, which include missing desktop icons; missing taskbar; missing drives; no audio and denied access to both task manager and control panel.

I tried the registry cleaner to see how it was going to help me delete or remove old and unwanted items from my system, and I was not too disappointed. The system is able to remove obsolete items from your system registry in order to speed up your system and increase manageability of your registry. Sometimes we find out that most of the files on our hard drive are unwanted, SysCheckUp is able to help clean it up.

A quick glance of what you can have this program do for you at $$19.95 include: repairs of problem such as: Windows installer; missing taskbar; missing CD drives; malfunctioning CD autorun; video/audio codecs; malfunctioning printing among others. Also, you can use it to analyze your registry and compact your registry to speed up registry access times and possibly increase your system performance.

The only problem I have with SysCheckUp 2.14.1 is the way it slows down a system at reboot.

How the publishers manage to keep this program running for free and still able to provide such great software is quite commendable? Flashstone Image viewer is an image browser, combining other features like a converter and editor. It also has an easy to handle user interface, resizing, renaming, colour and image cropping among others.

Users can also take advantage of the intuitive full-screen mode that provides them quick and easy access to EXIF information and thumbnail browser. Users can also take full benefits of the high quality magnifier and inbuilt full-slideshows with 60+ transitional effects.

It also has supports for most major graphic formats including BMP, GIF, PCX, TIFF, ICO and TGA. Rarely would a freeware application have so many features packed into one whole lovely program. It just keeps getting better each time a new version comes out, and that probably explains why more people are using it for their image resizing and cropping.

Users who are yet to have a feel of what a good program like this is can download and install it for their optimum use. You may never get an equally competitive program elsewhere on the internet. To think that it costs nothing to use FastStone Image Viewer makes it an awesome program.

True launch is just like the standard Quick Launch bar, with functions presented in ways similar to Quick Launch. The program is also compatible with Quick Launch because it also uses the same folder for shortcuts. Perhaps, the major difference I noticed in True Bar is that it allows users to combine shortcuts into groups. At least users can enjoy a fast improvement in shortcuts, thereby saving a lot of working space on their desktop.

At $19.90 per download, those who want to enjoy all the features of this software should just go ahead to do so because I do not think the price is a problem. For all the wonderful benefits of using this program, I do not believe the price is too high to complain about.

True Launch Bar 4.4.8 Beta has some settings that are flexible to handle for users; users who are a bit skeptical about how to handle it should try it for 30 days before buying it. It also supports Windows Drag and Drop technology among others.

Panda Cloud Antivirus software is free to download and use on your computer. Though it offers basic features of antivirus like quick scanning and custom scanning, Panda Cloud antivirus works a little different from the rest of software in the market today in a sense that the program relies on its online servers called Collective Intelligence servers to immunize your computer from malwares and other threats. Panda Cloud Antivirus was the first cloud-based antivirus program that is offered for free.

File size of this Cloud antivirus is 22.61 MB from http://www.cloudantivirus.com so downloading it from the web is very easy. Installation also comes in handy since it doesn’t need sophisticated hardware and it is compatible with other software, even other Antivirus software. However, an internet connection is needed to fully utilize the full features of Panda Cloud and to provide real time protection using its cloud concept.

Panda Cloud Antivirus displays a very simple graphical user interface. It displays a large green check icon denoting that there are no security problems with your computer, and a red icon if its unsafe or threats are detected. All you can see in its user interface aside from the large icon are settings (for proxy configuration), scan (quick scan and custom scan), and the report of the detected threats. A recycle bin is also provided for those neutralized files and you can find it by “flipping the window” by clicking the trash can icon below the window to bring the back window in front.

Despite lacking some features that a typical antivirus has, Panda Cloud is still a good choice as protection specially those who don’t have that much of a resourceful computer, since it’s lightweight, believe it or not Panda Cloud only requires 10 MB of RAM when not used, and about 60 MB when scanning.

It is however important to take note that Panda Cloud works best if it is connected to the Internet since it depends much on the PandaLab’s server for most of its actions. So this antivirus not recommended for those users who don’t have internet connections.
