| If you want to check your Virus
Scanner, you can do that with the encrypted archive
AntiVirusChecker.zip. It contains 75 infected files, which
your virus scanner should detect.
If you search for a freeware scanner, I recommend BitDefender version 8.
Here
you find the results of a test with Norton,
Bitdefender, AntiVir, Kaspersky, Trendmicro, Norman, Sophos,
F-Secure and Avast.
As you see: the perfect virus scanner does not exist! Generally you should NEVER
rely on your virus scanner and combine it with a tool like
ProcessGuard (see below), which
also protects against very new virus / worms without requiring a database,
which must be updated permanently.

Windows (Total) Commander
Ghisler |
If you're still wasting your time with the Windows Explorer, you simply don't know
Windows Commander! (new name "Total Commander")
The WinCommander joins a File Manager,
a FTP client, a packer / unpacker and more in one program.
So it replaces at least Windows Explorer, WinZip and a FTP program.
Once you get used to working with it you will never want to miss it!
- 2 windows side by side. (see screenshot)
- File operations with drag and drop or keyboard shortcuts
- It is MUCH quicker than Explorer!
- Comparing and Synchronizing folders
- Content compare function for text and binary files
- Saving of often used folders (favorites)
- Context menu (right mouse button) of Explorer available.
- Opening ZIP, RAR, ARJ, LZH, TAR, GZ, CAB, and ACE and display of the content as a subfolder.
- Searching in archives
- Creating and opening of Self-extracting archives
- Available in lots of languages.
- and MUCH more!

The Freeware Weather Watcher shows the current weather and the forecast (temperature, sky conditions, wind, humidity,...) for the
next hours and days. It receives the weather data from www.weather.com
which delivers information for nearly all bigger cities in the world.
The weather forecasts are very precise.
In the icon tray in the taskbar the program shows the current temperature.
Additionally it may alert you if a storm is coming and shows satellite images.
You have to modify the program's default configuration if you want to run Weather Watcher when Windows starts and specify an auto-update interval.

Firefox
Thunderbird
Firefox &
Thunderbird
PortableApps
|
If you are sick of all the security holes and the never ending updates of
Internet Explorer and Outlook Express,
then I recommend Mozilla Firefox (browser) and Mozilla Thunderbird (email programm).
All old settings like favorites, email accounts, emails and email addressbook
are automatically imported.
In Thunderbird you have to get used to the different account and folder management.
After importing the Outlook Express addressbook you will note the all subfolders in the
addressbook are gone. (all addresses are in one folder)
The reason for that is not Thunderbird but Microsoft!
There is also a portable version avaible of Thunderbird which runs from memorystick and stores your emails on memorystick.

Foxit PDF Reader
Foxit PDF Creator
Foxit PDF Editor
Foxitsoftware
|
FoxitReader is an alternate Freeware PDF Viewer
which has some advantages over Adobe's Acrobat Reader:
- Needs no installation, runs from pendrive.
- It loads much faster and without splash screen.
- Download size only 1,5 MB. (while Acrobat Reader is 20 MB)
- You can make annotations in the PDF document (e.g. underline text, add your own text, see screenshot)
and save these to disk or print them out.
- You may convert the whole PDF document into a simple text file.
- Now you don't have to print out PDF forms first and then manually write text into paper forms.
Instead, fill out forms in FoxitReader and then print them out.
- Your browser will never again crash or hang while you open a PDF document on a webpage
because FoxitReader will always open PDFs in an own process and not in a browser window.
Screenshot
(the red, green, blue and yellow symbols are annotations painted with FoxitReader)
Foxit PDF Creator allows you to convert non-PDF file into PDF file. (no Freeware)
Foxit PDF Editor allows you to modify content of a PDF file. (no Freeware)

SIP Telephony
Nero SippStar free
BT-101 IP Telephone
Wikipedia:
VoIP and
SIP
|
The future belongs to Internet Telephony (VoIP). (DSL 1024 flatrate required)
There is no difference in the quality of sound compared with an analog telephone.
The most of the PC software for Internet telephony is bullshit.
I recommend Sippstar (SIPPS) from Nero.
(Screenshot)
(You can also use Skype to phone via Internet, but if you want to call into the fixed line network
or be called from there, Skype is much more expensive.)
SIPPS offers telephone conferences, an addressbook, an answering machine, video transfer,
recording of calls, babyphone, chat (ICQ, MSN, Jabber, AOL), Outlook synchronization and a lot more.
SIPPS free is the freeware version, which offers less special features,
but telephony is fully functional.
More and more providers offer an Internet telephony flatrate.
For Germany I recommend Sipgate.de, where you get a real telephone number in the fixed line network.
Obviously calls to other SIP telephones are ALWAYS free, no matter where they are on the world.
If you don't want to have your PC running all the time just to telephone you can buy
the cheap SIP telephone GrandStream BT-101
(Screenshot)
which is connected directly with your DSL router or LAN.
It can be configured comfortably via web interface. (The default password is "admin")

PGP 8
Download PGP 8
(9 MB) (1)
(2)
|
With the freeware programm PGP 8 you can encrypt
emails, files and network connections with up to 2048 bit keys.
You can also create self-extracting encrypted archives (EXE), which will
only decrypt after entering the correct passphrase.
An additional feature is PGPdisk, which creates an encrypted drive.
This drive appears as a normal drive with files and folders in
it. But all data in this drive is stored in one single encrypted file. To open this drive
you have to enter the passphrase. Even in the case that your harddisk
is stolen nobody can read the data.
PGPdisk is not freeware. You can also use the freeware TrueCrypt for this purpose. (see below)
Form version 8 on you can trust PGP again as the source-code is
published. From version 9 on PGP is not freeware anymore, for that you
can download version 8 here.
Detailed (German) information about PGP available at Kai
Raven's homepage.
Tip :
PGP offers a high security if you use a good passphrase.
You should use words, which don't exist in dictionaries and use
lower case and upper case letters at a wrong position in a word
and include numbers. Also you should never write down your passphrase
anywhere!
|
TrueCrypt
TrueCrypt |
With the freeware program TrueCrpyt you can create encrypted volumes.
These can be based either on a single encrypted file or you can encrypt an entire partition.
After entering the correct passphrase you can read and write the encrypted (virtual) volume
in exactly the same way as any other (real) volume. If someone steals your harddisk, nobody can read your data.
You can also burn a 4,5 GB encrypted file onto a DVD together with the tiny TrueCrypt program (800 kB).
Then you can put this DVD into any computer, start TrueCrypt without installation directly from the DVD,
enter the passphrase and the content of the DVD will open in a new Windows volume (e.g. drive M:)
with all its directories and files as you have created it before.
TrueCrypt offers the same security as PGP.

graphic formats (also animated graphics)
With the space bar you can jump to the next image on your hard disk / CD.
The program adapts to the size of the image or can be used in fullsreen mode to make a slide show.
The Thumbnail view gives a quick overview about all images in a folder.
This old version 2.22 of ACDSee is fully functional
(although if not registered it will show a popup from time to time)
while the newer ACDSee versions are shareware.
Screenshot
If you are looking for a software to not only display the images and videos from your
digital camera
but also edit and manage them, I highly recommend ACDSee version 8 or higher.

GetRight |
GetRight is a Download Helper.
If you are downloading a file of 300 MB with your Browser and after 2 hours the download stops
at 92%, you dont have any chance with your browser: you have to restart from the beginning.
GetRight resumes broken downloads automatically.
You give the address of a file and it loads from a website or a FTP server.
This even works if the webserver requires a valid cookie before it makes the file available.
GetRight reads the cookie from your browsers cookie cache.
It can also pass freshly loaded files to your virus scanner.
Optionally it searches for alternate download servers and downloads
multiple segments of the file from different slow servers.
ATTENTION: It is possible that a wrong file is loaded which accidentally has the same name.
I recommend NOT to enable "Search for Alternates"!!

neither with the mouse nor with CTRL-ALT-DEL. There is no process or service
which the student could terminate to escape the control of NetOP.
