Wise Disk Cleaner 8.86.625

Have your computer undergo a thorough scan process in order to find and remove junk files that only take up precious disk space and slow down your computer

After a while your computer's performance can significantly drop. This is all due to leftovers from removed applications or even temporary files and Internet related data. However, with the help of some specialized applications, your computer can be made as good as new. One such example is Wise Disk Cleaner with a name that speaks for itself.

Visually appealing and easy to use

The application prides itself with a modern, flat interface. It's pretty visually appealing, with elements cleverly stored in the main window and clearly visible. An upper toolbar lets you quickly access all of its four major features, Common Cleaner, Advanced Cleaner, Slimming System and Disk Defrag.

Get rid of junk files

After a quick deployment process, you are free to scan your hard disk drives for junk files. Depending on your total space and selected elements, the process can take several minutes. Files found are displayed next to each of the dedicated categories, and the amount of space they take up.

Cleaning is finished quickly, with an indicator displaying how much space you got back. A more in-depth scan can be performed by accessing the Advanced Cleaner. It takes less time to configure, as you are only required to select drives to be put under the scope. In addition, these two features can be scheduled at a custom date and frequency.

Search in every corner of your computer

Furthermore, you can free even more disk space with the Slimming System feature, which finds junk files in Windows Installer Baseline Cache, Help Files, as well as Wallpaper files. For increased performance, you can also start a defragmentation process on any connected storage device.

In conclusion

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that Wise Disk Cleaner is a handy application you can use from time to time when your computer starts showing signs of weakness. The interface lets anyone quickly accommodate and it manages to do a pretty good job overall.

iSpy is an open-source video recording utility able to capture video content to Flash files. Thanks to its movement detection feature and email notifications, you can use it as your personal surveillance tool.

It boasts a clean interface that allows users to set up the monitoring process by connecting multiple cameras and microphones. iSpy provides support for multiple webcams, which can be synchronized to record in the same time.

A new camera can be configured in terms of video source, name, timestamp, and mask image. Plus, you can specify the maximum frame rate and pair a microphone with the selected camera for recording videos with sound.

The application comes packed with different built-in motion detectors (e.g. two frames, custom frames), and gives you the possibility to set the minimum and maximum trigger level for motion detection, as well as adjust the levels for saturation and luminance and select the colors to ignore or track during the recoding process. This feature proves to be very useful, as you can monitor objects of a specific color, or detect smoke or fire.

Other important options allow users to track objects by counting the number of detected items in the scene, set alarms, keep edges, apply noise filters, monitor specific areas of the camera by drawing rectangles, as well as schedule tasks.

You can activate alarms and make the program play a WAV file or open a file, and send SMS or MMS to the specified phone number, messages on Twitter, as well as email alerts. The program offers support for PTZ cameras, and enables users to upload the recordings to FTP servers or publish them on YouTube.

Of course, the quality of the generated videos pretty much depends on the webcam used, so some images may not be very accurate with low-quality devices.

Using you Internet connection nowadays can breed all sorts of trouble, both for yourself and your computer. Threats like social media tracking and computer malware lurk around every corner and you are bound to run into them sooner or later.

Turn the shield on and protect your connection

Steganos Online Shield is an application that takes advantage of the VPN technology to protect your Internet connection from any unauthorized listening or tracking, while also keeping your browsing data anonymous and automatically deleting cookies. All of these are achieved by tunneling your web traffic through a private network and changing your IP address.

By giving you a different IP address, the application creates an alter ego for your computer, which is used to browse the Internet instead of your real one. This also prevents any kind of tracking while you surf the web, such as cookies or targeted advertising.

Access otherwise unreachable content and encrypt your traffic

In some situations, certain websites might be blocked in your region and you are unable reach them using your regular IP address. This happens because your IP can also pinpoint your geographical location to the website server it is trying to reach, which can in turn deny you access if your country is not on the list of allowed regions. Steganos Online Shield can bypass this restriction and offer you full access to any web content that should be accessible to everyone.

In order to better protect your anonymity and keep you safe from packet sniffing attempts, the application encrypts your web traffic using the AES-256 bit method, which makes it exponentially more difficult for anyone to intercept and decrypt your data. The encryption also keeps your emails and instant messaging chats private, but you should avoid using personal accounts to achieve the full effect.

In conclusion

Unlike make other VPN solutions, Steganos Online Shield delivers a very user-friendly interface, with powerful and easy-to-use features that keep you safe from the perils of the Internet regardless of your experience level and computer security expertise.

RogueKiller 10.11.0.0

Lightweight and portable application that scans processes, the registry, MBR, shortcuts, Hosts file and other areas for suspicious activity

RogueKiller is a lightweight and portable application that scans all your currently active processes and terminates suspicious ones, in order to free up some memory.

Since installation is not a requirement, you can drop the executable file somewhere on the hard disk and click it to run.

It is also possible to move RogueKiller to a memory card or similar storage unit, in order to run it on any machine with minimum effort.

What's more, the Windows Registry does not get new entries, and leftover files do not remain on the hard disk after removing the app.

The interface is based on a regular window with seemingly cluttered options, where a pre-scan mode automatically starts at initialization and kills any suspicious processes. The file list shows the status, type, process ID, name, and path for each item.

The program is also able to scan the registry, Hosts file, proxy, DNS, drivers, MBR, and shortcuts. You can disable RogueKiller from scanning the MBR, verifying fake items, and running the anti-rootkit service. It provides options for deleting selected items and repairing services, MBR, Hosts, proxy, DNS and shortcuts.

RogueKiller offers multilingual support, uses low CPU and RAM, and carries out a scan job rapidly. We have not come across any issues throughout our evaluation, as the app did not hang or crash. Although it is not particularly intuitive or attractive, RogueKiller proves to be a pretty powerful tool for detecting and removing suspicious activity from the system.
