An excellent tool to always keep in a safe place. Sometimes Windows cannot recover properly the system after crach, with this app, and serious knowledge of the problem (virus, etc) you have everything to finally access you computer in order to fix it and recover your favorite OS (not the exclusive purpose of the app, but one of the most interesting). EXCELLENT alternative to the same king of app available for xxx.xxx $ !!!

12Ghosts Complete
  • Free Trial ($59.95)

qleft  The price  qright

12Ghosts Complete version 8.0.11
  • Interface: 1
  • Features: 3
  • Ease of use: 3
  • Value: 1
  • Overall: 2

Interesting features, that's true. A lot of features, true too. BUT. This not worths the price anyway, some freeware do the same job. The gadgets are all in one, yes, but a couple of hour on the net will satisfy you and your wallet. Testes on 5 configs : the main app crash often, the gadgets stay in the tray, so, in the memory, impossible the maximize the apps. You can try freely all the pack before you buy, a chance.

Great looking soft. The problem is just that you can undelele EVERY file in great condition AND in all conditions proposed by the software. (Test made with freeware undelete tools). Think twice if you have serious data to really erase...

You could feel safe, only if you children are not too aware of internet and computer. Too easy to bypass (tested with 20 children betw. 3-8). Anyway, it's better with than without, but keep an eye anyway on their surf habits.

BullZip PDF Printer version 2.0.0.24
  • Interface: 2

  • Ease of use: 3
  • Value: 3

Easy to use like other PDF "printer simulation" app. Easy to use, easy to install. Lack of important features like watermarks and document protection. Good but nothing really special. This is a serious good application, working great but no innovation.

Be aware that that tool scans only for a limited number of viruses and variants but it do it well. Fast but need a lot of system resources. No sufficient upgrades, so for the well-know viruses this is ok but for the rest ...

Free RAM Optimizer XP version 1.0

  • Ease of use: 3
  • Value: 2
  • Overall: 2

Standard features for this kind of softs : clean memory, defrag memory, crash the system 4 times on 10. Tests made on 5 configs. Don't use it under at least 512mb. This is a software, not a miracle. Let XP controls his memory is sometimes the best thing to do.

If you have a good configuration running on your machine (MTU), numbers of downloaded files at the same time and every tips we heard about for years of internet use and dsl use, this soft doest nuts, nothing. No differences between before and after, running tests on different specialized sites and tools. A good gadget if you want to increase your internet speed ... in your dreams...

myWIFIzone version 2.0
  • Interface: 1
  • Features: 1
  • Ease of use: 2
  • Value: 1
  • Overall: 1

This is exactly the good example of a useless and dangerous program. Tested on 2 desktops and 3 laptops, from 1,6Ghz Centrino to P4 3,2Gh with XP, a total disaster. Severe mismatches and conflicts with Windows Defender, Firewalls and very big troubles with IP's windows' management. And the worst is that is a complete useless soft since you have a good config between your router and you CPU's with an encryption key. The config menu does not work at all, aggressive popup's crashed one of the Centrino. This is a total lost of time ... taking one hour to reinit my machines to retrieve the router's connection. Completely foolish alerts like IP 0.0.0.0 is trying to connect to you computer ? How can we develop that sort of thing ?

Very goof freeware, easy to use and powerfull. Music-related software are not cheap on the market, TPlayer is one of the best audio freeware. It will browse your files and made a playlist very fast, faster than other products. Great for live mix, very versatile and the interface is great, even if it's no skinnable.

Test results made on several configurations and always the same, system crashes ... On a P4 3,2 or a dual core avoid this soft and prefer to improve real physical memory. If you don't like blue screens, be careful...

Google Talk

Google Talk version Beta
  • Interface: 2
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 4

Google comes another time with a beta version, but as usual, a great software and a great internet service. Google Talk is fast, secure and completely different : simple but good interface, no ads, no spy, no annoyances of all kind. Just Talk, communicate easily and efficiently, messages, voice, etc. Log with your Google e-mail account, download it and enjoy. Receive e-mail notifications, etc. Manage your Gmail space, etc. Well, a Google tool you must have. The Google talk community is growing and plug-ins are now available by dozen : skins, transparency feature, auto-answering capabilities and many more. The ultimate messenging soft and service for fun or prof. use. You just have to be a Gmail registered user, this is the only little problem, no possibilities to browse and search in a users directory. Beyond this restriction, that's perfect.

AuctionSieve version 1.7.4
  • Interface: 1
  • Features: 3
  • Ease of use: 3
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 3

Good : Search not limited to US auctions, complete sorting features, for a freeware this is not only a bargain search tool but a great marketing tool if you want to use it to watch a big lot of diff. items. Ebay users will know quickly how and why to use it. Simple and efficient software. Stable, safe (don't need to provide Ebay ID or pass). No ads, no spy. Worth the download, try it. Could be better : probably needs a fast connection, slow search (because you'll get a lot of occurences). This problem can be solved by restricting you search with smart keywords. Bad : I don't really like the interface.
