Comodo Programs Manager

A must have program

by bigsmile (Read all my 3 reviews)

I downloaded this program especially to monitor an Install that reviews said was hard to uninstall. Comodo PM monitored it and the uninstall went without a hitch. Good program that I will keep and use to monitor all installs from here on out. Norton used to have a similar program I used years ago. Glad to see this one is Free and works well. I now feel confident about installing a program I want to give a try.

Pegasus Mail

Going back to Thunderbird...

by bigsmile (Read all my 3 reviews)

I don't know why I cannot simply have two reviews on the same program? So here is my first review from 5172013. I just installed and setup Pegasus Mail. I have not had time to really use the program yet but just want to say something about the setup as some have said it is difficult. I open my Thunderbird account properties and wrote down Server Name, Ports used for both income and outgoing and security used. After I got all that info correct in Pegasus account properties, sending and receiving work great. What little I have seen of the Interface, I like. Also, I checked the box DO NOT DELETE MESSAGES ON SERVER. As some have said Pegasus deleted all their messages. Also someone said Pegasus was hard to uninstall. I downloaded and installed Comodo Programs Manager to monitor the install in hopes Comodo could easily uninstall in case I was not happy with Pegasus. Continued 5/18/2013
I am sure Pegasus is a good program but guess it is just what one gets used to. Going back to Thunderbird with its 2 annoying problems. Just wanted to say I used Comodo Program Manager to monitor the Pegasus install and the Uninstall went very well. I wrote down all my Internet account info from Thunderbird and had little problems getting Pegasus up and running.

Adobe Reader

Kept alive by MS Office

by EmpressTrudy (Read all my 6 reviews)

If it weren't for the fact that embedded PDFs have to be opened by Adobe in MS Office and there appears to be no way to change this, there would be zero need for it. Adobe seems to think that if they pile on dozens of features no one wants needs or uses that that somehow will make it great. But, hey, at least we're not talking about the Android version here which is absurdly bloated.

Start Menu Reviver

Actually speeds up the programs when launched

by cliffeastham931

The programs which I launch from this program load quicker than they do using the regular start menu. It is attractive, intuitive, and can be skinned to your liking.

MWSnap

Excellent utility, but a few suggestions

by jmorfit333

MWSnap is a wonderful program. Now, here's my suggestions:
1. Add a few paintbrush type tools: Pen, Highlighter, Eraser, Fuzzer (the latter for fuzzing passwords or other identifiers)
2. Add a resizable Circle/Ellipse for circling items of interest
3. Fix the issues associated with capturing from a 2nd monitor.

InkSaver

Its benefits have been surpassed

by catchmitt128

Unless you're wanting to SERIOUSLY maximize your ink savings, this program has little to offer for the price. I had the program years ago (version 1.0) and it did then, as I'm sure it does now, exactly what it says; it saves ink by making your printer use less ink when printing but still maintains very acceptable quality, though there is some sacrifice of quality. But there are two reasons it's just not a good value at all. One is that it has trouble with shared printers, and sharing a printer is very common in most homes today. Two, for just a few dollars more than what InkSaver costs, you can invest in a continuous ink system (CIS) that can cut your ink replacement costs by 75 percent or maybe more, without ANY sacrifice in quality! Of course, combining InkSaver with a CIS would gain you even more savings, but it's not really worth the price for what you get.

Fotor

Good for quick one button editing

by realbull2009250 (Read all my 18 reviews)

Fotor comes off quite impressive for a young program. Photoshop Elements it is not, it is geared towards amateurs or the average user at home. It has a nice GUI and user-friendly. The one-button editing features are usually not so good, but with Fotor, it is surprisingly not bad. For more advance editing, you can manually adjust the pictures with some quality editing tools. The controls are smooth and easy to use. The adjustments such as saturation and blur/sharp work well, but I feel the contrast function is a too strong and should have a broader range of adjustment. And there is no "levels" adjustment to tweak adjustments. I'm pressed with the crop options which many other editors lack. You can choose from manual cropping to several squared ratios. It supports the popular image formats and surprisingly, RAW. It feels very light, starts up quickly and applies adjustments effortlessly. I'm running Win7 64-bit, 8gig ram with a quad CPU, so I don't know about computers which are weaker than this. It is available for all PC platforms including mobile phones, Iphone and Android, but not for Linux. From my experience there were no batch processing, EXIF & other properties editing and portable version. Overall it is great for simple and maybe some advance editing. With this program starting out like this, I'm eager to see how far it will develop.

Auslogics Disk Defrag Pro

Well worth getting

by steveincornwall (Read all my 2 reviews)

Made a big difference to my XP desktop, used mainly for photography work, so lots of downloading and deleting etc which mucks up the disk. First defrag took a while but subsequent ones very fast. Easy to use and made the computer feel much quicker.

xps2img

A very good converter!

by realbull2009250 (Read all my 18 reviews)

I'm reviewing the 3.27 version. Sorry, GimpGuy, but this tool has its purpose for people who work with XPS files and may need to reassemble them. I have a Win7 HP 64-bit and the standard viewer cannot save to PNG, JPEG, etc., only the file name can be changed. XPS2IMG starts up very quickly, very light and can be installed as a normal program or as a portable file. It has various other settings; DPI, size, page number select, CPU priority settings and other settings/options. It supports drag & drop, too. As far as its main purpose, it can convert to the various image formats that it supports well. The interface is straight forward and simple, so it isn't very attractive. Maybe a new GUI would be nice. Also it cannot do batch processing which I think should be included in the future. Also a feature to rearrange the pages and print to PDF would be great. Overall it is a great tool for those who need it.

Fotor

Easy to use and many filters

by liuxiao180

I found Fotor to be simple and intuitive to us. I think many photographers will like Fotor Photo Editor. If youre looking for an easy to use photo editor with lots of editing options and effects, look no further than Fotor

MyDefrag

Greatly over looked

by realbull2009250 (Read all my 18 reviews)

Most people boast about other defragmenters, but MyDefrag is just as good or maybe better than the others. It starts up very fast and easy to use and very light. It uses the Windows API system, so it can movedefragment any file safely. It is fast, but not blazingly fast. It defrags and optimizes the HD well. You can use the command-line version to squeeze out some extra features such as sorting by file name, size, last accessed, last change, creation time & other features such as excluding files. The interface is not the most attractive thing to look at, it is very minimalistic and most people these days may prefer that. It has all the typical features/options that one would want in a defragmenter. Also it has a 64-bit version. My only complaint about this is that the GUI needs to be updated and I think all of the options from the command-line version should be included on the GUI interface. The biggest disappointment is that development of this fine tool has come to a halt. This month(May 2013) will be the 3rd-year anniversary since development/support has stopped.

Coolbarz

Simple but powerful

by fronny (Read all my 2 reviews)

Been using it since v0.1.6.7 and never had any issues with, it just runs. I've thrown everything at it, URLs, files, programs, folders, partitions, drives excl. the kitchen zink. Just drag and drop, nothing else to do! Beats any similar prog I ever evaluated.

S10 Password Vault

Unbelievably rare value

by kuhlbreaz271

I use this software multiple times every day. It allows me to use more secure passwords without having to memorize them which means I can have a different, high security password for every site I use. I don't need to type in my passwords repeatedly which saves me time and improves security. The author offers it for free without constant donation nags, time limits, withholding basic features, attaching it to unwanted garbageware or even blitzing you with advertising. Honestly, people frequently demand 10 times as much or more for programs that are less useful, less well written and never updated. In short, I honestly can't remember the last time I paid 5 dollars for something as useful and easy to use as this. I also have to remark that it's so refreshing to find someone who uses no underhanded marketing or money-grabbing schemes that it would be worth the 5 bucks just to reward such honorable behavior in an environment that is almost completely devoid of it.

Secure Archive

Excellent encryption archiver!

by realbull2009250 (Read all my 18 reviews)

I was looking for a native 64-bit encryption software and found this one. The Snapfiles description above describes the features well. The program installs easily, seems very light and starts up instantly. It is basically an archiver with more security options. You can create an archive in which to add, delete and extract files. Also you can create a self-extractor(EXE file) that extracts the contents automatically after entering the password. It has drag & drop and right-click features. You can create an archive or secure delete by right click. Settings include CPU settings (for priority), view options, preallocate disk space for new archives, copy process on drag & drop and adjust the number of secure delete passes. Advance options include saving time stamps & file attributes & paths, calculate CRCs, archive hidden & system files and securely delete source files after archiving. There is one glitch/problem I have with it. The "New" button & "New" command under file menu does not work, it does nothing. Luckily the drag & drop and create from right-click features remedies this glitch/problem. It is a great encryption program for those who need a free one. And it has a 64-bit version and free for personal or commercial use. But for those who already have an archive program with a built-in password encryption feature may not need this. Also it is unfortunate that this program has not been updated in 2 years. Hopefully development will continue.

Zback

High hopes dashed

by oteotd (Read all my 43 reviews)

I had hi hopes for this product. I simply wanted a program that would show me changes from one directory to another and let me apply changes if I wanted. This will do that but is a little quirky. For starters when it shows you the preview it is not really explanatory. You can figure it out but it is not worth the extra effort. On my first attempt I used one of the simple modes. I expected to see a duplicate directory matching the original. Ultimately this did happen but in a weird way. What happened? I had a test folder on my desktop(XP). Wanted to create a simple backup which should have copied an identical directory other than the name on my desktop. I expected to see New Folder with the same files. What I got was a folder full of sub folders that you would have to navigate through. I should have simply opened the New Folder directory and seen my files. I guess you could tweak the program to fix this but should not have to. Second issue. I used the manual backup mode. Tried to use mirror mode. My original directory had a briefcase. The backup created a briefcase file but with a standard icon not the brief case icon. If I manually copy the brief case the icon stays correct. From what I see there are enough issues for me to find another portable program that I can trust or upgrade current program to include a portable version for a small fee.

Any Video Recorder

Very useful

by Nicholas (Read all my 53 reviews)

Long did I look for a program to make instant shots of live videos from a webcam. Fortunately this Any Video Recorder showed up. And it does exactly what I want it to do: recording videoshots for sharing in social media. Quick and easy. Excellent free software. Thanks!

Kryptel

Good encryption at a fair price

by realbull2009250 (Read all my 18 reviews)

I received the Standard 6.2.3 version as a giveaway. I have a Win7 64-bit system and when I first used it I had a problem. It encrypted a DOC file and decrypted it OK. The file is displayed in Kryptel's own explorer interface, but I could not open it up in MS Word. I got a message from MS Word that the DOC file didn't exist. It was a good thing that I used a test version. Anyway it worked OK on my 2nd try. Maybe the problem was because of no native 64-bit version? It is very easy to use. Just go to the file you want to encrypt, left click, select encrypt on the menu and the program opens up where you can enter a password. I don't know the password letter limit, but it can be at least 20 letters long. The encrypted file will change into a Kryptel file extension, so when you want to decrypt the file, just click on it and it will open up in Kryptel. It also has a batch mode, encrypted file modifier, tag-on comments, scan for encrypted files, drag & drop, add files, file based key, verify after encryption, command-line mode, interface options, roll-back option, data recovery tool for corrupted encrypted files, shredder and file compressor. It has some very minor graphical glitches, no built-in EXE self-extractor creator and I think it needs a 64-bit version. But overall it is very good.

Directory Opus

The best file manager there is

by rgprgp

Directory Opus is the best. I have used it for about 7 years and like the previous poster said, try to live without it. Their product support is fantastic, questions get answered usually within a few hours, and frequently they are answered by the person who owns the company. It has extensive customization options as well as the ability to create your own custom commands and buttons using scripts. You don't have to learn the script, just ask the developers directly on the support forum and they will usually write one up for you in their response.

AVStoDVD

This software is for you,...

by johnchendershot787

If you happen to have a PhD in video technology, this software is for you. If you happen to be a super villain who wants to bedevil some poor superhero, sent him a link to this software. If you happen to be just some ordinary Joe but you want vengeance upon some ordinary other Joe, send them a link to this software. If you happen to be a masochist, use this software, if you like watching DOS error messages scream by in screens that close themselves far too rapidly, use this software. If you'd like to learn the meaning of every possible minor option in video software, this is a great way to do it. If you like software that changes the options you select without notifying you, this software is for you. If, however, all you want to do was burn a video DVD find something else.

LoopJam

It's ok

by gimpguy (Read all my 1072 reviews)

Well, after spending some time using this, It's not a horrible app by any means but trying to get out of that "default sound" it has sort of irritated me. I tweaked and tweaked and It's rather difficult to get what you want out of it. I've found others that are free and far easier to get a good loop with better and easier sound and interface options. With some work I think this could be a great software but right now "in my opinion" it's a hair puller more than a fun to use app.

XnRetro

Great look to photos

by gimpguy (Read all my 1072 reviews)

This definitely has enough options for that retro look, noise, frames, etc... but I liked the lighting effects as well. What really brings it together is learning to tweak each setting to get the most out of it but it's definitely a great little app for giving photos the "retro" look.

XnSketch

Sketchy

by gimpguy (Read all my 1072 reviews)

Very good sketch ability and plenty of options. It handles outlining really well which is a plus with any sketch software. I think I gave it a 5 for it's precision more so than the effects themselves.

RKill

A great utility

by gimpguy (Read all my 1072 reviews)

I have been using this for what seems over 3 years, I could be wrong as I feel it's been longer than that. Either way, it's been invaluable in some situations where you get a hijack and it won't let you do anything, this will do a great job and ending the offending processes. It does NOT remove infections and it may stop good processes it can't identify so you have to be able to determine on your own what is bad or isn't. A great software to keep around when removing the baddies.

BrowsingHistoryView

Decent

by gimpguy (Read all my 1072 reviews)

It will definitely find your history in most common browsers, check which ones you want or don't. Obviously if you don't have the browser you won't want to check it. Anyway, it works fine, no issues, find a history item at specific time or day. I find easy enough to simply look through my history the old fashioned way but this can be far more specific and faster not to mention I love the fact you can save it as html with click able links. So if I feel the need to clear the history but may have some important instances in there, I just back it up. Great job.

Fotor

Great free quick editor

by gimpguy (Read all my 1072 reviews)

First of all, lol, yep I was beaten to first rate on this one. I did actually find this really nice for quick but thorough enough photo editing if you need quick adjusts with the ability to add effects and frames. I agree that it doesn't have as many features as some, the ones many need are there and perhaps more. The frames are great for that portrait look and the program's interface is smooth and easy to use so anyone can get the hand of it fast. I myself do like this and will keep it installed, it really is a great editor and the filters are not second rate, they do a decent job. Great work and um... glad I tried it JamJar, lol.
