Process Hacker 2.31

Process Hacker is a powerful process explorer that provides more functions than the stock Windows Task Manager. You can use it to monitor system resources, detect malware and even debug software to ensure your computer functions well. The free application displays all network connections, services and processes running on a computer using color codes to categorize them for fast and easy identification.

Features:

• Comprehensive and highlighted overview of system activity
• Displays process information using statistics and graphs for fast tracking of resource hogs
• Displays programs with active network connections
• Provides disk access information in real time
• Gives the ability to control, create and edit services
• Displays detailed stack traces with WOW64, kernel-mode and .NET support
• Allows copying of data using Ctrl+C
• Shows symbolic access marks
• Customizable

Using Process Hacker

Since Process Hacker is a portable process explorer, we can use it on different computers without multiple installs. We also found it relatively easy to use although it requires some understanding of resource usage and system processes among others. Color coding helped us to quickly identify related running processes. In addition to providing general guidance, the color codes also provide specific process peculiarities, such as own processes, new objects and debugged processes. The codes also help to detect malware by tagging dangerous processes. The notification system can help in preventing malicious files from executing without your knowledge.

We got more information about the processes by hovering over their names. The details included the services they were using, disk file and command line.

We used the application to suspend some running applications and terminated others altogether. We also provided relevant information so we could run some processes with different user accounts. We could toggle between system resource graphs to view them either concurrently or zoom in to see more details about one graph.

The Disk Tab displayed read/write access details broken down according to the processes that invoked them. The process details listed may be somewhat intimidating to a novice. The process window displays all running processes, including the items that parent processes initiated, in a tree format. The details include the usernames the processes belong to, PID number, a short description and overall footprint on system resources.

Although the process explorer provides plenty of details, it uses a clean interface that hides away most of the details until you want to see them. It also takes a short time to learn how to interpret the details.

Sublime Text 2.0.2

Sublime Text 2 is a super fast and feature packed text and development editor. If you are going to be coding regularly you want to try this amazing editor (IDE). Following some of the great features that make Sublime Text 2 stand out from other code editors:

• Multiple cursors: Once you have discovered multiple cursors you won't want to work without them anymore. As the name suggests they let you write or edit in multiple places in a document at the same time.
• Vintage mode: Vim keyboard shortcuts will work just like in the original Vim editor. To use them, all you need to do is to enable vintage mode.
• Lightning fast: This is the fastest code editor you will find right now.
• Command pallet: A great feature that allows you to reach about all functions of the editor via the keyboard. You will hardly use your mouse and thus code more efficiently.
• Plugin collection: A hugely active community creates plugins for almost any task in Sublime Text 2. This includes syntax highlighting and code snippets for a large number of languages, for example Javascript, PHP, CSS, HTML, Python, LESS, XML and C++ to name just a few.
• Package control: This add-on let's you install plugins within seconds directly from the editor.

Baidu Antivirus 2013 3.4.2.34811

There are many free antivirus programs, some of which merely give a false sense of security. How do you know the right PC security software to choose? A number of factors can help you out, and Baidu antivirus incorporates all the important factors.

Baidu Antivirus Features

• Multiple Antivirus Engine: The program intelligently selects the right antivirus automatically to help in detecting and removing 99 percent of threats
• Realtime System Defense helps to protect the computer at all times
• Cloud Security provides ultrafast response to the latest threats
• Proactive Defense provides quick response from the cloud to help in blocking viruses
• Local virus databases help in detecting viruses localized to particular areas
• Free antivirus that provides free upgrades and other free services

Installation

Baidu antivirus installed fast on our system and automatically updated to the latest version soon after installation. The program recommended that we scan our PC immediately after the installation, which we did.

Using Baidu Antivirus

We decided to perform a full scan as we performed other tasks. It is recommended that you perform a full scan on a weekly basis and quick scan daily. The program offers the option to auto process and shut down the computer after scanning. However, we chose the manual process option. The program then displayed scan results, which included elapsed time, items scanned, threats detected and threats removed. It also provided a link to the quarantine.

Benefits

Lightweight: The installed program took 54.77MB while others take more than 100MB.

Resource-friendly: We could perform other tasks as the antivirus scanned our computer in the background without noticing any lag in performance. Many so-called antivirus programs do not only slow down computers but also fail to detect some threats.

Efficient: Baidu antivirus fights all types of infections, including malware, Trojans, worms, malicious websites and phishing. It combines conventional scanning, including USB protection, with cloud security.

Fast: Compared to some antivirus programs, Baidu scans computers relatively faster.

User-friendly: The relatively few options the software provides make it easy to use. This does not mean it does not perform some important functions. The quarantine option is also good because it allows users to access and scan important files with potential threats.

Settings

Baidu antivirus allows users to change a number of settings that determine how the program works. The possible areas to adjust include general, virus scan, system protection, proactive defense, update, engine option, USB protection and advanced settings. The program also provides the option of giving feedback.

Drawbacks

Although the antivirus has many advantages, some users may not be pleased with a couple of areas:

• No option to exclude files or folders
• No option for scheduling a scan

Conclusion

Baidu is an efficient and simple PC security software that even newbies can use comfortably.

Wise Program Uninstaller 1.41.66

Have you ever struggled to uninstall programs you no longer wanted in your computer? If you have used your computer for a while, then there are high chances that you have installed a variety of programs, some of which you no longer or hardly use. Some programs may prove difficult to uninstall, and even the ones you uninstall often leave traces that slow down your system. This makes it important to have a better uninstaller than the native program that comes with Windows, which is where Wise Program Uninstaller comes in.

Features

Thorough Program Removal: Wise Program Uninstaller can use force uninstall to remove broken and stubborn programs. It uses an advanced program search algorithm to find leftovers that remain after uninstalling programs so they can be removed.

Using Different Methods: This free program uninstaller can use the safe uninstall that the native uninstaller uses to remove programs normally. However, when it becomes difficult to uninstall some programs using this method, it uses forced uninstall to remove the stubborn programs.

Repairing Programs: In spite of its name, Wise Program Uninstaller does not only help in uninstalling programs. You can also use it to repair some programs you want but do not function properly. Some of the programs you can repair include Adobe and Office.

Using Wise Program Uninstaller

The program’s user interface displays only basic metrics and other options, so it does not appear cluttered. On the left of the program window are buttons for:

• Safe Uninstall
• Repair Programs
• Forced Uninstall
• Remove Entries

A larger portion of the window is covered by details of the installed programs, including:

• Name
• Publisher
• Size
• Installation Date
• Version

We were pleased to see the total number of programs installed and the disk space they took displayed below these details. The uninstaller displayed the current version and provided a link for checking updates at the bottom of the window. It also included a menu button next to the minimize button with the search bar located beneath them. Relevant programs started appearing as soon as we started typing names in the search bar.

Once we had uninstalled a program, the uninstaller started analyzing associated files, folders and registry entries. It displayed the results and gave us the option to remove some or all of the entries to clean leftovers. Right-clicking on a program provided the option to open it in the registry editor or perform a Google search. However, only advanced users should use the RegEditor.

TurboC++ 3.8.0.1

Many of you have would tried to install and run turbo C++ in Windows 7 and Vista but may have failed to do so. You may have thought for a while what happened to your favourite C programming IDE(Integrated Development Environment), Which you used to run on Windows XP or 98 without trouble.

The true story behind this problem is that your version of windows has just got better enough or say advanced that it doesn't support the decades old "Dos" based software.

Windows after 9x(93,95,98 etc) versions are not running of top of dos, they run on a completely different Technology called NT(New Technology), so to provide compatibility with DOS software Microsoft provided these version of windows have a system called NTVDM (NT virtual dos machine), which emulates DOS like environment to run these dos programs but when Windows evolved to Windows Vista and 7 Microsoft removed some capabilities of NTVDM, because of some compatibility issues with Aero graphics and stuff. So now any dos program has no direct access to hardware neither can any dos program Go Full-screen.

Since i also liked Turbo C++ IDE a lot and had used it a lot at school and college i was frustrated when it didn't run in windows 7 and Vista like it used to, in XP or 98, I started finding ways to run it in Windows 7 in full-screen mode. After a lot of experiment and testing i found that Dosbox could run it as like the old dos, but it had some problems like key-mapping that conflicted with shortcuts of Turbo C++, so i created a completely new installer for installing Turbo C++ on any version of windows may it be Windows Vista or 7(32&64bit) without any problems just click install and run the program from the desktop shortcut that's it!, Its very easy, at least easier than installing the old dos based setup of Turbo C++.

We found it relatively easy to use all features of this startup manager. While its features will please seasoned users, this makes it equally suitable for beginners. We customized the tab bar to display the details we were interested in. In addition to customizing the program’s appearance, we also adjusted how it worked. We even set it as our default task manager. We used the startup manager to delete unwanted items from the startup menu and deactivate processes we were not using. Besides System Explorer’s ability to provide detailed information, we liked its ability to scan running processes for any suspicious activity. Of course, this feature requires an Internet connection to access the online security database. Jotti and VirusTotal services scan all processes online, which is good since the database is always updated to ensure you get the best security possible.

Video to Video Converter 2.9.1.14

While some programs used to play video are compatible with many formats, there are still different reasons why someone may want to convert videos from one format to another. For example, a favorite video may be able to play on your computer but not on another desired device, such as a large screen television or a smart phone. Personally, I also like converting video formats to reduce the amount of space taken without sacrificing quality. Video to video converter comes in handy in such situations.

Features

This is a versatile free video converter that includes several other related functions. It supports more than 200 input formats, including WMV DVD, MPEG, MP4, AVI, MKV, 3GP, SWF, FLV and PSP. It can be used to convert both audio and video files to either XviD or DivX to make them compatible with plasma, LCD, and LED TVs. The converter can also make videos compatible with almost all types of portable devices, including iPods, iPads, iPhones and Android smart phones. You may even use it to prepare videos for Youtube or the Internet in general.

Video to video converter is also compatible with many audio formats, including MP3, MP2, AC3, AAC, M4A, 3GPP, WAV, MMF, AU, FLAC, IFF and Vorbis among others.

• Video to Thumbnails Tool
• Video to Images Tool
• Images to Video - Picshow Tool
• Commercial Remover Tool
• Video DVD burning tools

• Video filters
• Video presets

The embedded DVD ripper supports subtitles in foreign languages. Users can cut or join parts of videos they are interested in to come up with their own productions and even add watermarks to the converted files. The Live Preview function allows you to watch how your converted videos will appear. You may also take snapshots of desired sections.

How it Works

The simple user interface divides profiles into tabs that display various options that make it suitable for both inexperienced and experienced users. Those with little experience only need to select their desired format while experienced users can make several modifications on the output, including resolution, display size and frame rate. Video to Video Converter supports more than 700 output presets. The profiles are organized by device type, making it easy for inexperienced users to handle.

Once you have made the required selections, the program returns to the main window where you can click to start the conversion process. We have compared it with several other converters and find its conversion speed relatively faster and it performs all the functions we tested compared with three different video converters.

Although Video to Video Converter installs easily, it's also available as a portable application.

Pros

• Supports large number of input and output formats
• Video DVD burning and ripping tools
• Supports audio conversion
• Easy to use

Cons

• None

Overall, Video to Video Converter is an excellent free video converter that provides users with all the functionality one would need in addition to impressive bonus features.

Pokki v0.262.11.444

Have you ever wished you could keep your favorite apps on your desktop? If you enjoy the mobile app experience and want the same on your PC, then you should consider Pokki. This web app manager will not only help you access your apps without opening a web browser but also get the good old Start menu on Windows 8 system.

Pokki Features:

• Real time notifications
• Organizing favorite apps
• One-click launch of apps
• Fast access to programs and files
• Search bar
• Compatibility with touch screens

Pokki enables Windows 8 to boot straight into the desktop environment and disables all hot corners. The program provides access to hundreds of free apps that you can download from the Pokki store.

Installation

On our Windows 8 system, Pokki installed as a start button but still allowed us to perform a wide variety of tasks. You need Internet access to install the program because it is a web installer. The Start button immediately took its position at the lower left hand corner of our desktop without the need of a re-start. Remember to mark the check box stating "use Pokki as your start menu."

Using Pokki

Although Pokki brings back the Start menu, it does not try to imitate the earlier Windows Start button. It features its own acorn shape and layout. We found all the elements available in Windows system but they were all arranged in a single column, including the power button. However, we could not find all features although it gave us access to the important ones, including Control Panel, Computer, Documents, Pictures and Music.

From its simple interface, we could easily download, install, launch and manage HTML5 apps. The search bar allowed us to access the free apps we wanted from the Pokki app store. Relevant apps started appearing as soon as we started typing.

Pros

• Providing the familiar Start button on Windows 8
• Providing quick access and shortcuts to frequently used applications and system areas
• Giving access to hundreds of free games and apps
• Allowing apps to provide real time notifications

Cons

• Somewhat slow response to input
• No provision for customizing the menu
• Highlighting web apps we did not want to install
• Does not support drag and drop

Verdict

Pokki is an effective web app manager that allows users to access their favorite programs without going through the modern Windows 8 user interface. It provides its own fresh way without imitating the old Windows Start button. Users have the opportunity to integrate their favorite free apps into their desktops. Further improvements are expected because the program is still in beta stage.
