Window Ruler

Nfty tool for quick checking.

by yassertariq (Read all my 75 reviews)

I use it more than often to see the actual sizes of the 'resized' images on the monitor. A nifty tool in every amateur photographer's arsenal.

Wondershare PDF Password Remover

Personal Video Database

I have used it for several months - great!!!

by leewmeister (Read all my 3 reviews)

The program offers a fine blend of automatically importing information over the internet and manual entry of data. I easily loaded my titles lists from Excel files and the program imported plenty of information from IMDB and other software. I spent quite a bit of extra time doing external searches for posters and added a lot of those manually. You can configure which fields certain information is automatically loaded into as well as create custom fields. The developer is actively supporting the software with frequent improvements and upgrades. All in all this is a very flexible and USEFUL program. Best of all, it is free!

Free Countdown Timer

Excellent countdown timer

by gawabat664

I've tried so many timers, and by far, this one is the most complete I've ever used. Its so smart, and sooo easy to use, even for a child, yet, its loaded with advanced features. You can create preset timers of all sorts, and when you need one, all you have to do is tick in front of it. It also has a snooze feature, and loop. It comes with 14 sounds to choose from. A nifty feature is that you can set it so that once it fires, it automatically increases your PC volume up to 100 (selectable) in case your volume is set too low to hear the alarm sound. You can use it as a countdown timer, or as an alarm. It can be set for years in advance! to remind you of important occasions. But I use it simply for oven cooking. Its exactly what I was looking for. I highly recommend it.

Startup Delayer

Perfect for servers

by pcs800 (Read all my 221 reviews)

I have been using this on servers for years, it really smooths things out when you have a bunch of very CPU intensive apps or services starting at once. Some fail to start from lack of resource, but delay their startup a couple minutes and they are fine.

Glary Utilities Free

A freakin miracle!!!

by dwclarkjr931

This thing is a pure work of genius! I had been dreading my 1Tb ext. drive filled with 500Gb of files & pics for several years from different drives and moving them and using them had created duplicates. I have put off looking for them for several years. I used the find duplicates program & Sweet Jesus it found 1714 took me a hour to go through them all but it was worth it I would have spent months hunting and sorting to find them all. 15GB of duplicates gone. Thank you for this Awesome Product!

AuctionX2

Would not use anything else!

by kit.moore970

For a very low price, the features are excellent with easy import of my eBay account and real-time updating. I can track stock, sales ledger and paypal activity all in one place. Not only that, I can see my top sellers, worst sellers and run reports to my hearts content! There were some features that I wanted, and I contacted customer support. I have never come across better and more focused customer support. The features I wanted were done within 24 hours and constant updates made me aware of progress every step of the way. For a program like this I would expect to pay exorbitant rates, and the support and features far outweigh the very small cost of this product. I will certainly recommend it to everyone, it's a fantastic piece of kit for any shop owner!

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware

Has served me well...

by compuable (Read all my 8 reviews)

I have used the Malwarebytes "Pro version" very successfully (but the freeware version is sufficient). The program works really wonderfully and has served me well for a while now. I actually test freeware programs as a hobby on the side; and I probably download and install around a dozen or so of new full applications andor utility programs to test out each month so I have to be careful. I first tried using Malwarebytes freeware version and afterwards I upgraded to Malwarebytes Anti-Malware pro. It consequently caught about 10-15 or so 'baddies' while I was trying to test the new freeware programs onto my computer as well as immediately warning me while I was in the process of downloading the installation .exe files for the new programs. Another nice thing is that it detects many remote and 'seemingly innocuous' Adware programs that many other anti-malware programs miss. It then lists them and offers a 'right-click' link option which leads to a more thorough explanation of what they are, what they do as well as describing how dangerous or docile they are and then offers the option to remove them (or not to). I believe the upgrade only ran me around 25 dollars (US) but it was well worth it. Although I'm always looking for freeware alternatives to shareware programs; in this case I didn't really mind ponying up "Pro version" version, in order to support the programs development (and the updates and support offered are 'perpetual' which is always a good thing!)

Not worth the free download

music2PC

I say no

by gimpguy (Read all my 655 reviews)

Here's the thing... If you do happen to be downloading from a non-legal source, it's going to come down on the user, not the software maker. While the idea is a good one, handy to use, I personally wouldn't allow my kids to use it so no, I would not recommend it. I am not making a moral debate, just the fact that they are getting very strict, "too strict in my opinion" on copyright and such but regardless, just shooting for music from "somewhere in the twilight zone" just doesn't strike me as a great idea.

Thunderbird

Still nothing better for POPIMAP

by Wastrel (Read all my 12 reviews)

Thunderbird has been a solid program for a long time, and with all the add-ons available you can extend the feature set. Lately, though, the layout and design have received major enhancements (part of being tied to Firefox dev no doubt). More than simply about all the themes and personas available, the default font settings, for instance, make everything easier to read (which is what's really important with messaging); spacing is better, too. Essentially, once installed you don't really have to do much else with the appearance than add a little color (of your choosing). Another somewhat recent improvement is the basic assistance available for setting up new email accounts, which used to be a little "quirky", but now has also become solid. Right now, I'd say that Thunderbird v9 is the best program available for accessing POP andor IMAP accounts. Simply sending and receiving messages has never been easier.

AutoHotkey

Fantastic ! Simple, light, powerful !

by Edu_SS (Read all my 3 reviews)

I used ... for a decade. Since two months ago I changed to AutoHotkey. It's fantstic (not for initial users). Simple: you can edit your script directly in a TXT file. Light: ultra-fast with a bit of RAM. Powerful: you can automatize all your most common tasks. Once for all, worth spending a few hours to learn to use.

WindowsPager

About time

by Scientific_Frontline (Read all my 9 reviews)

I've tried so many "multi desktop" applications, including the one that comes with ATI cards; none every stayed part of my system. Frankly most were just more then one really needs for a production comp. This one is simple, complete, and truly usable without a single hassle. Easy "drop and drag" right from the taskbar was key to my satisfaction. Thanks for your time to make this program available to the public. . . a worthy achievement.

FreeCommander

I like it - one small issue

by william.washington242

Operating System Win XP professional SP3. - Since installing the latest version of Free Commander I have had an occasional problem (provoked by an as yet unknown action of mine) as follows: FC pops up a 'create a new folder' - pop up will not cancel. creating a folder works but the pop up does not cancel afterwards regardless of the number of folders created. Must use Task Manager to kill FC. Re-opening FC instantly pops up this window. This also affects MS Outlook - create a new email message and click in subject or body - a 'spell check complete' pop up appears which will not go away again must kill outlook from Task Manager. Only solution found is to uninstall FC, reboot, reinstall, then all works fine until next provoked! I am not sure if the problem is in FC or simply some strange interaction-I will post again if I discover the provocation - I suspect it may be a stray click while moving the mouse cursor across the FC window but not yet sure and can't afford the time to try.

EasyBCD

Not for the novice

by toshfox379

Having used this to try and remove an old boot option and leave XP as the default. I selected to install the Easy BCD and after rebooting my operating system just is not there. I get a forever circle of going through the setup menu as it won't let me do a safe boot or boot from my windows install DVD. Tried to boot from USB to no avail. Look elsewhere for advice before trying this as it notifies you that changes cannot be saved when entering the setup menu once you have embarked down this path.

Game Fire

Optimizes it faster than the one we all used.

by xavierdhjane633

I started as a diehard fan of .... Unfortunately, it's become a premium hoax and a showoff of IOBit's other wares... The same features apply here. Don't waste your time in the tweaks section of that ... app. The cool thing about this site is you can use Fresh UI to do the things that tweak section hasn't even laid out. As for Game Fire, it revs up your system in just 4-5 seconds. Disables visual themes and resets your color depth on the fly too if you wanna go all out. The only thing I dislike is when you reboot it says gaming mode is on - when it is clearly not just yet so you have to click it twice. Other then that, it's banging on all four cylinders for me!!! The only con besides that small bug - ugly GUI. But come on, you only want to see this app for a few seconds anyways....

Spell Checker For OE

My dictionary is now in English

by sullicox851

I had the dreaded OE thinks I'm French, and could not find a fix - idiot me for looking on Microsoft's website! Then my wonderful Step-Dad emailed me a link to a forum that recommended this. I read all the comments/reviews on both sites and excitedly downloaded the software. And... Nothing Happened! Or so I thought. After downloading again, I had the presence of mind to re-read some of the comments on the referring website and noticed where someone said that their Dictionary even now says English! I went to Options, clicked the Spelling Tab, selected to actually have Spell Check (I'd disabled it long ago in annoyance), and as my old Spell-check would have it - et Voila! Like the commenter noted - my dictionary now says English, and on a few test runs it's all good. Thank you to the ingenious devil who saw the idiotic need for this program and actually wrote it, and fie on the dopes at Microsoft who want to charge you tech support fees to report a problem!

FreeFileSync

It's good but...

by Shodan816 (Read all my 31 reviews)

This application was great up to and including V4.0. Then it began including a 'graph' while synchronizing that the user is unable to turn off. Perhaps it would just take some getting used to, but for now I'll stick with V4.0 until I am able to 'opt out' of the graphical interface that appears on later versions. Now V5 has a whole new interface and I'm not sure yet if I like it or not.

Freemake Video Converter

Video and audio in sync

by Airbourne (Read all my 8 reviews)

I tried at least 6 other video editing programs and none would sync the audio and video on for SOME videos' recorded as avi or mpg. Some I could edit OK with most programs. I found that with FVConveter if I first (without any editing) saved the whole video as a AVI, then went back to FV Converter and then edited the video .... It was like magic ... Audio and Video were in sync even after many edits. This never worked with any other video editor 1000's of thanks again to Snapfiles and the produce team who gave the free program I only give FV converter ease of use 4star as you also needs the .NET framework to make the program work but who cares it works like a charm. I have seen many people searching on this subject of sync for video and audio. One comment said it doesn't seem to be able to convert a file to Divx avi so it will play in a DVD player. (I assume meaning a domestic DVD) 'Computer recorded video' as far as I know ONLY if converted to VOB FORMAT will a video play in a domestic DVD player. Mine does Editor: Many DVD players can play DivX files directly.

SUPERAntiSpyware Free

An excellent program

by dprivet492

This is an excellent program and it is a good companion to any internet security suite. The individuals nagging and complaining need to pawn their computers or donate them to a kinder garden class who knows what to do with them. The software developer(s) on here need not respond to these people because it's a waste of time due to the fact they have no clue what they are doing.

Qoppa PDF Studio

Great if you need advanced PDF functionality

by xraydoug436

Pros: Extensive set of annotation and markup tools, well-designed and easily accessible. For my own uses, one of the most important that is not commonly found is adding scaled lines (like measuring scaled distances on an architectural plan), which this does very well. Cons:
Does not respond to many common trackpad gestures (zoom, shrink, for example). No undo. Summary: Overall a very nice alternative to the bloated Adobe product when you need advanced PDF functionality on the Mac, especially if you need to measure scaled distances.

Bolide Slideshow Creator

Excellent software

by raptozilla (Read all my 2 reviews)

I have been using Bolide to create immaculate slideshows with the mkv extension in hi-def for about a month. Tried using other slideshow creators for a long time, but none would do the trick. The only down side is that there are not a lot of transitions included with the program. If you're making a movie and want that kind of thing, you'd do better using some other program, but if you want to make great hi def slideshows out of your pics, this program is the one to use, which is what it is advertised as.

Recuva

Excellent - couldn't be better or simpler.

by tim.fenelon544

Use 7 zip which is available here to open the downloaded program. In 4 minutes, this program recovered 3 gigs of accidentally deleted video files from a sd card (one file only was corrupted and may have been like this initially). The file names were recovered intact (but not the folder name and that is no inconvenience). Thank you Recuva team.

GIMP

Gimp isn't so difficult

by mongoman595

I am concerned that some of the comments might discourage people from using GIMP. It really isn't that difficult to master. My advice is to search the Internet for GIMP tutorials. There are so many, and they are very good at getting you up to speed.
