Telecharger AllDup 3.4.18 Gratuit

AllDup est un utilitaire gratuit permettant de scanner le disque dur à la recherche de fichiers en double qui occupent de l'espace inutilement.

Bien que non traduite en français, l'interface se prend en main facilement. La fenêtre principale est un assistant de recherche grâce auquel vous choisissez le disque à explorer et la méthode de comparaison à appliquer: par nom, type d'extension (.doc, .jpg, .mp3, etc.), contenu ou taille par exemple. Vous pouvez également paramétrer des filtres exclusifs ou inclusifs pour cibler au mieux votre recherche.

Une fois la recherche effectuée, AllDup affiche chaque fichier suspecté d'être présent en double et permet de dérouler une arborescence contenant les noms et les emplacements de chacun de ces fichiers, pour lesquels on peut avoir un aperçu très pratique.

Une fois la sélection des doublons effectuée, on peut procéder à leur suppression sachant que par défaut, tous les fichiers éliminés vont se ranger dans un dossier nommé AllDupBackup, à la racine du disque dur principal. Vous pouvez aussi choisir de supprimer les fichiers en double directement ou bien les déplacer vers la corbeille.

AllDup est un utilitaire gratuit, souple et performant pour faire la chasse aux doublons. Dommage que sa partie "Aide" ne soit pas plus détaillée pour les débutants.

Les Plus

  • Interface simple à utiliser
  • Aperçu des fichiers en double
  • Filtres inclusifs ou exclusifs
  • Intégré dans le menu contextuel Windows

Telecharger TweetDeck 2.5.3 Gratuit

Les utilisateurs de Twitter et Facebook peuvent de réjouir d'avoir trouvé un outil comme TweetDeck. Celui-ci affiche toutes les informations nécessaires pour savoir ce que font leurs contacts, directement sur le bureau. Racheté en 2011 par Twitter lui-même, cette nouvelle version corrige de nombreux désagréments.

Dans une élégante interface noire et grise, TweetDeck se présente sous la forme de plusieurs colonnes plutôt illisibles au premier abord. Ce sont en fait vos flux personnels et vos préférés, triés par liste selon vos envies.

En haut de la fenêtre principale, vous choisissez d'afficher tous vos amis, les réponses que l'on vous a envoyé, vos messages directs ou vos flux favoris.

Une annotation en haut à droite de votre bureau vous avertit lors de la réception de nouveaux tweets.

Une icône permet également de créer de nouveaux groupes très facilement, en cochant les utilisateurs de votre choix. TweetDeck permet aussi d'effectuer une recherche rapide parmi les messages reçus ou grâces aux recherches populaires effectuées dans tout Twitter.

Bien entendu, TweetDeck n'oublie pas la fonction principale: tweeter et communiquer! Remplissez le champ "What are you doing?" en indiquant une URL si le c?ur vous en dit. L'envoi est instantané.

D'autres options permettent d'actualiser les flux, organiser vos colonnes dans l'ordre de votre choix ou effacer les messages lus pour y voir plus clair.

Cependant, la belle interface de TweetDeck pourrait être plus maniable, notamment au niveau des colonnes qu'on ferait glisser d'un champ à l'autre.

TweetDeck optimise votre façon de tweeter et de communiquer sur Facebook, sans lâcher le bureau. Les flux viennent à vous sans remuer le navigateur.

Telecharger Defraggler 2.13.670 Gratuit

Piriform, l'éditeur à l'origine des très bons CCleaner et Recuva récidive avec Defraggler, un défragmenteur gratuit pour Windows.

Ce type d'utilitaires est indispensable à la maintenance du système pour conserver des performances optimales.

En effet, au bout d'un certain temps, les fichiers voient leur contenu fragmenté en divers emplacements du disque, ce qui ralentit considérablement le système dans son intégralité.

Defraggler possède une interface simple et ne s'encombre pas de fonctions exotiques.

Lancez une analyse pour connaître l'état de vos disques et défragmentez-les en un clic. Plus original, vous pouvez aussi défragmenter des dossiers ou des fichiers à l'unité. Beaucoup plus rapide qu'une défragmentation totale.

Fidèle à l'esprit des autres logiciels de Piriform, Defraggler est un outil simple et efficace qui va droit à l'essentiel. Attention tout de même à ne pas l'utiliser sur des données non sauvegardées.

Changements récents
  • Compatibilité avec Windows 7 améliorée
  • Changements mineurs dans l'interface
  • Nouvelle présentation de la Drive Map
  • Amélioration du moteur de défragmentation
  • Ajout de la défragmentation offline du système de fichiers durant le processus de boot

Telecharger PhraseExpress Portable 9.0.167 Gratuit

PhraseExpress est un programme intelligent pour aider les rédacteurs/journalistes/écrivains pressés. Si vous êtes las de toujours taper les mêmes expressions à longueur de journée, ce petit logiciel génial vous facilite la vie. Cette version portable vous permet de lancer le logiciel sur n'importe quel PC depuis une clé USB, sans avoir besoin de l'installer sur la machine-hôte.

Le principe est simple: remplacer les expressions récurrentes par des raccourcis clavier. Plutôt que de taper la salutation "Veuillez agréer l'expression de mes sentiments distingués", vous ne tapez que le code "sal", pour que le reste de la formulation s'écrive automatiquement.

A vous de choisir la formulation et son code associé. Vous pouvez ainsi entrer en mémoire tous les mots, groupes de mots et expressions qui vous semblent nécessaires et que vous utilisez fréquemment.

Le logiciel est plutôt simple d'accès. On dispose d'onglets pour naviguer dans l'interface. Le premier offre la bibliothèque d'expressions et les raccourcis associés. A vous de la configurer selon vos préférences. Le programme apporte par défaut sa propre base de données, malheureusement en anglais.

L'option de "Settings" permet de configurer plus en profondeur le logiciel et les macros, alors que l'option statistiques offre quelques données d'analyse rudimentaires: nombre de mots, rythme de frappe, etc.

PhraseExpress Portable se loge dans le systray et reste discrètement en éveil durant la journée. Il permet de corriger les coquilles fréquentes ("els" pour "les", etc.) mais sert aussi de lanceur d'applications. Vous pouvez le configurer pour lancer un site internet d'une combinaison de touches par exemple.

Complet, discret et surtout gratuit, PhraseExpress Portable offre une très bonne suite d'outils pour rendre votre quotidien plus productif. Indispensable.

  • Système d'automatisation

Telecharger Google Chrome Portable 25.0.1364.97 Gratuit

Telecharger Google Chrome Portable 25.0.1364.97 Gratuit

Pour la toute nouvelle version Android de Google Chrome, découvrez notre test en suivant ce lien.

Google Chrome, une idée séduisante: prendre le meilleur des navigateurs existants et ajouter de nouvelles fonctionnalités pour créer le navigateur du 21e siècle.

Sur ce marché très concurrentiel, le pari est osé et l'enjeu de taille, même pour un géant. Voici le browser de Google dans sa version portable, à emporter partout sur une clé USB ou tout autre média amovible.

Google Chrome propose une interface minimaliste et efficace. Elle offre des fonctionnalités connues comme une page de démarrage qui rassemble les 9 sites les plus consultés ou des onglets placés en haut des fenêtres.

Plus originale, la barre d'adresse, rebaptisée Omnibox, sert aussi pour les recherches. Elle dispose d'un système d'auto-complétion amélioré qui mélange historique, marque-pages et recherches populaires pour offrir des résultats plus pertinents.

Dans l'air du temps, un mode "Vie privée" permet de surfer sans laisser de traces sur son disque dur. Reste qu'on s'interroge sur l'utilisation que fera Google des informations glanées via son navigateur. Le respect des données personnelles sera crucial pour lui éviter l'étiquette de "cheval de Troie", même si son mode de développement Open Source assure une certaine transparence.

Les développeurs de Google Chrome ont conçu l'architecture logicielle de leur navigateur à partir de zéro pour favoriser la stabilité, la rapidité et la sécurité.

Principale innovation, chaque onglet dispose de son propre processus. Un bug sur une page ou une attaque depuis un site malveillant restent confinés dans un espace restreint qui ne compromet pas le navigateur dans son ensemble. Pour améliorer la sécurité, une liste noire mise à jour en permanence protège l'utilisateur des sites dangereux.

La rapidité d'affichage est l'affaire de WebKit, le moteur de rendu de Safari qui équipe aussi le navigateur pour mobiles de Google sur Android. Pour le Javascript, toujours plus important avec l'essor des applications web, une machine virtuelle optimisée pour les performances a été créée de toutes pièces.

Enfin, Google Gears est directement intégré dans Google Chrome pour prendre en charge les fonctionnalités hors-ligne.

Porteur d'une vision à long terme, Google Chrome possède des qualités techniques à la mesure de ses ambitions. Son succès pourrait changer radicalement le visage du Web.

Notes

Attention, ils se peut que chromeloader.exe soit identifié comme logiciel malveillant par votre anti-virus. Ce n'est pas le cas.

N'hésitez-pas à vous tourner vers la version "desktop" de Google Chrome

Telecharger Firefox 19.0.1 Gratuit

Mozilla Firefox est un navigateur puissant, en constante évolution et qui dispose d'un catalogue impressionnant d?extensions Les efforts constants des développeurs de la fondation Mozilla ont payé et ont permis de hisser Firefox à la deuxième place des navigateurs les plus utilisés.

Un navigateur moderne et attirant

Mozilla Firefox a introduit progressivement des fonctionnalités qui l?ont rendu flexible et facile à utiliser. Si Firefox n?est pas à l?origine de la navigation par onglets, c?est bien lui qui les a popularisé. Depuis la version 4 de Firefox, les onglets ont pris place au sommet de l?interface puis Panorama, qui permet de regrouper et d?organiser ses onglets par groupe, a fait son apparition.

Chacun navigue à sa façon et Mozilla Firefox l'a bien compris. Le panneau de configuration des barres d'outils de Firefox permet d'organiser, d'agencer, d'ajouter ou de supprimer des boutons par simple glisser-déposer.

Firefox permet aussi d?ajouter vos propres moteurs de recherche. Pour combler tous les utilisateurs du réseau social, le browser de la fondation Mozilla intègre depuis peu un moteur de recherche Twitter. Une fonctionnalité très pratique pour un accès rapide aux thématiques du réseau de microblogage.

Firefox est soucieux de son look. Les thèmes de Firefox (Personas), accessibles via le gestionnaire de modules, sont classés par catégories : abstrait, films et TV, mode, musique? Il y en a pour tous les goûts et toutes les couleurs. On apprécie de pouvoir pré visualiser chacun des Personas simplement en les survolant avec le pointeur de la souris.

Un navigateur performant

Mais tout n'est pas qu'esthétisme avec Firefox. Si quelque chose lui a fait gagner la faveur des utilisateurs, c'est aussi sa compatibilité avec les standards du web. HTML5, CSS3 et les habituels plug-ins comme Java et Flash.

Avec Firefox, les améliorations constantes des moteurs de rendu (Gecko) et Javascript (Jägermonkey), qui permettent d'alléger le navigateur, l'ont converti en l'un des navigateurs les plus rapides du marché.

Personnalisable à l'infini ?

Le catalogue d?extensions, accessible depuis le gestionnaire de modules, est immense. Ces modules permettent d?ajouter des fonctionnalités supplémentaires et de personnaliser Firefox comme bon vous semble. Certains de ces modules sont devenus incontournables. Parmi eux on retrouve :
> Adblock Plus : l'anti-pubs qui augmente le confort de navigation.
> UltraSurf : pour un surf en toute discrétion.
> DownThemAll : une extension pour gérer vos téléchargements.
> Video DownloadHelper : pour télécharger des vidéos.
> Stylish : pour changer l'apparence d'un site internet.
> Et plus encore disponible sur Softonic.

Firefox s'est convertit au fil des versions en une référence parmi les navigateurs web. La fondation Mozilla a su nous proposer un navigateur de plus en plus rapide, performant, personnalisable et plus compatible que jamais avec les standards du web actuels.

Cependant, Firefox est dépassé par la concurrence dans certains domaines : légèreté, facilité d'installation des extensions, applications web dédiées... Autant de points dans lequel son principal rival, Google Chrome, a l'avantage.

Car Trak allows you to keep track of your driving behaviour, become a more efficient driver and keep your vehicle in better shape. If you've just bought a new car or have a special vehicle that you want to take extra care of, this program will help you achieve your aims.

Car Trak makes an exhaustive analysis of all the data relative to the maintenance and specifications of your vehicle. it calculates everything from petrol expenses, distance driven, repair costs, scheduled inspections, general expenses and fuel consumption. The data is presented in a detailed, although sometimes rather too cluttered interface which summarises all the major data that you require. From this general view, you also have the option of taking a more detailed look at each entry.

The program supports several different measurement scales, allows to track several vehicles simultaneously and even allows you to export your data to CSV or generate a report in HTML and RTF.

For car enthusiasts, this is an excellent application although it could do with a facelift as regards the general interface.

Pros
  • Enables you to keep track of your car in detail
  • Supports several vehicles at the same time
Cons
  • Interface is very simple
  • Weighted heavily towards American automobiles

Download Mz 7 Optimizer 1.1.0 Free

Mz 7 Optimizer is an all in one utility that boosts and maintains the performance of your Windows 7 system while providing you with some hidden Windows tweaks.

There are tons of PC optimization applications out there but I've never seen one as full-featured as Mz 7 Optimizer. There are pages and pages of optimization tweaks for the user to explore. Each one is described in detail and you can apply tweaks in bulk. There is even a game mode, which disables anything that would hinder the performance of playing games (including Aero).

For those who don't want so much detail, Mz 7 Optimizer comes with an automated optimization mode that lets you choose what you want to optimize and it will do it all automatically. Auto optimization was the easiest to use and less tech savvy users should stick to this mode.

Performance of Mz 7 Optimizer is generally good but defrags take longer than apps like Auslogics Disk Defrag and Smart Defrag. Other than defragmentation, tweaks were applied quickly. The performance of our machine saw slight performance bumps but remember that our machines are very well maintained!

One minor downside to Mz 7 Optimizer is that the app will require a reboot. It is also recommended that you run the application without any applications open. This will help safeguard against program conflicts.

Overall, Mz 7 Optimizer is a great freeware application that has a ton of features yet is still accessible to the average user with its automatic optimization mode.

Pros
  • Easy to use automatic optimization mode
  • Tons of tweaks and optimizations
  • Game mode maximizes gaming performance
  • Helps you back up registry and set a restore point
Cons
  • Defrag performance is slow
  • Requires a reboot after optimization

CloudDeck is music streamer that taps into Soundcloud's database to serve you songs.

CloudDeck is written on the Adobe Air platform so this app will work across systems. It's a good media streamer that lets you search SoundCloud's huge database of songs. As is the case with Soundcloud, the quality of songs uploaded by artists vary. If you're looking to stream songs by a particular mainstream artist, this app isn't for you. If instead you want to discover undiscovered artists and DJs remixing songs, then CloudDeck is great!

While the main function of CloudDeck is to serve you music, it adds social media integration with Facebook and Twitter. If you find an interesting song that you want to share, you can click the Facebook or Twitter icon at the top of the application to share it with your friends or followers. You can also find and follow artists within CloudDeck. Following an artist will automatically deliver their new tracks to your feed.

Users can also use CloudDeck's search feature to find new music. There's options to search by artist, user, or group. Searching by group is interesting as it allows you to find groups of people who have similar tastes in music as you.

In use, we found CloudDeck to be a bit unstable and searching was more of a miss than a hit. A few of our searches returned no results and for some searches that did yield results, they weren't very relevant. Also disappointing is inability to upload your own tracks directly from the application, although you can download tracks from other artists if they allow it, but it will open up a browser to get the link.

Overall, CloudDeck has some great ideas to make Soundcloud more social, but its developers need to work on stability and usability.

Notes

Requires Adobe Air.

Pros
  • Social music sharing and discovery
  • Ability to save searches
  • Auto populated feeds of new songs by artists you follow
Cons
  • Buggy
  • Can't upload/download from within the app
  • Interface quirks

Download Pidgin 2.10.4 Free

Pidgin is an instant messenger client that is perfect for people who need to communicate with friends who use different applications, or for those who like a little more control over their chatting. The Pidgin interface is quite simple, which for many is a plus, although it has most, if not all, of the features found on other clients. Obviously, the major plus to using Pidgin is that it can support multiple accounts on different networks, so you'll only need the one interface to chat with all your contacts on all your accounts.

Picture the situation. You love Google Talk. Your family is stuck on Windows Live Messenger. Your friends in Poland all love Gadu-Gadu and, for some strange reason, your best friend insists on ICQ. You obviously have an IM crisis, and in the interests of peace and friendship, you need to sort it, fast.

When you install Pidgin, it will ask you for the details of the accounts you want to add. Pidgin can remember your passwords for you, but if you do not enable this option you'll have to sign in every time. Once you're set up, you can do all the things you would expect - change your icon, create groups, configure alerts, send files and even add bunches of Pidgin plug-ins.

For the more technically minded, one of Pidgin's best features are the configuration options. These are much easier to access than in other applications and allow you to manage certificates, toggle advanced settings for your accounts, individually or together, set up proxy servers and even join chat rooms. Sounds too complicated? Don't worry, that's the beauty of Pidgin - you can get as technical or as simple as you like. It's the perfect client for everyone.

Simple, effective and multi-protocol - what more could you ask for?!

Download Adobe Premiere CS6 11.0 Pro Free

The all-new Adobe Premiere CS6 takes a leap forward in its development and provides the professional video creators and producers with all the tools they need for their day to day work.

Adobe is acclaimed worldwide for its impressive software tools, many of which have become true industry standards in different fields. This is the case of video production and Adobe's powerful video editor, Adobe Premiere CS6.

The new version Adobe Premiere CS6 maintains a similar interface structure to previous ones, keeping the learning curve to a minimum while offering a bunch of new features that make video creation and edition easier for everyone. Performance has also been enhanced, thanks to the new Mercury rendering engine ? which enables you to see effects in real time.

Many of these are related to new technology standards, such as the possibility to export to Blu-Ray format or the support for tapeless videocameras. Others are focused mainly on improving general workflow, making Adobe Premiere CS5.5 fully compatible with other Adobe tools, with the SWF format, and even with Final Cut Pro. Chroma management in Adobe Premiere CS5.5 has been improved thanks to Ultra Key, and the new Adobe Story can mark specific times in the program?s time line based on characters' dialogues.

Download Ocster 1-Click Backup 1.09 Free

Ocster 1-Click Backup is an app that makes backing up your Windows PC into one of the easiest jobs you can imagine.

We all know that we should back up our computers in case the worse happens, but how many of us actually do it? Some people are put off by the fact that backing up seems time-consuming and boring, or difficult and complicated. With Ocster 1-Click Backup, it's neither!

Ocster 1-Click Backup is pretty simple, so more advanced users, or those who like more control, probably won't be too impressed. If you want to keep things simple, though, it's perfect. All you have to do to use is it specify what, where and when you want to back up - there are no extra windows or wizards, just select from the options you are presented with when you click on each section.

One of the nice features of Ocster 1-Click Backup is this centralized simplicity. All the actions you need to carry out as the user take place in the main interface, and that's also where the system status and backup logs are displayed. There's no need to go searching for the information you need - Ocster 1-Click Backup presents it all there by default.

Ocster 1-Click Backup doesn't complicate things with extra settings options either - in fact, all you can change is the interface language. Restoring your computer from a backup is also very simple, although we were disappointed to learn that burning a rescue disk needs a separate download.

Ocster 1-Click Backup is one of the simplest backup apps we've seen, but it does the job very well.

Pros
  • Very simple
  • No complicated options
  • Flexible scheduling
  • Easy restore options
Cons
  • Very basic
  • Rescue disc requires separate download

Download DVD Chief 1.10 Free

DVD Chief is a slick, highly useful program for movie buffs.

This application allows you to organize your movie collection automatically, edit and then enjoy the fruits of your labor via the perfectly browseable, searchable database that puts all the info you need right at your fingertips.

Adding movies

You can enter your movies into DVD Chief in various ways, from letting the app automatically process movies you physically enter into the DVD drive to adding films individually from files. The app then automatically finds all the information available about your movie from various internet sources, and fills in the fields available.

DVD Chief is a very flexible app, so if the information isn't just as you want it, you can edit it manually. The software also allows you to add movie information in whatever language you want, and there's also a place for your notes, which is really important if you're a serious cinema fan.

Viewing your collection

When it comes to viewing your movie information, DVD Chief doesn't let you down. It provides all the information you need, from actors to production statistics and genres to reviews in an easily modified (and skinned) interface. You can also view your movies in the Lists tab, which is an interesting overview of your collection.

Problems to be solved

Unfortunately, we found a few problems with DVD Chief, not least with the file search, which took a long time and was unstoppable - literally! We asked it to search our hard drive for movies, but when we realized that it was too big a job to undertake with so few filters and tried to stop it, it resisted stubbornly and we had to shut DVD Chief down from End Task.

The DVD Chief interface can be a little hard to navigate - when you delve too far into a menu, it can be hard to get back to the home screen - the best way around this is by using the back and forward buttons at the top left of the DVD Chief interface.

DVD Chief is an excellent - and promising - app, but it's still got a few wrinkles that need to be ironed out. We're looking forward to seeing the next version.

Recent changes
  • DVD Chief now included help file
  • Find person photos in internet
  • Copy statistic data
DVD Chief supports the following formats

DCD, DCDZ, DCDX, HTML, XLS, TXT, XML

Pros
  • Easy-to-use interface
  • Good language support
  • Add your own notes
  • Automatic completion when discs inserted
Cons
  • Menu options look clumsy
  • Navigation can be akward
  • Not enough filters on file search

Download Mixtape Free

Download Mixtape Free

Mixtape is a desktop music app that runs on the Pokki platform.

Web apps like Pandora and Last.fm are incredibly popular when it comes to discovering new music. Now Mixtape joins in as a sleep looking if simple desktop app.

Mixtape presents a ribbon of nice looking images that represent different playlists. Roll your mouse over each image to read the playlist's title and to see the name of the playlist creator. If you click on the playlist, the music will start immediately. You can pause or opt to skip it in favor of the next song on the playlist. In addition, you can star songs you like, as well as heart entire playlists you think are awesome. You can even purchase individual tracks you like on iTunes with a quick click within the app.

As an added bonus, you can connect your 8tracks account with Mixtape for even further personalization.

Some users might get annoyed that you can't change the size of the app, as it's relatively small. There's also no actual search box integrated into the app. You can search by genres easily enough, but not by specific songs. These are minor complaints though, given how nicely stream-lined the Mixtape app happens to be.

Mixtape is a great alternative to some of the other popular music streaming and discovery services online.

Notes

Clicking on the 'Download' link will take you to Pokki's website where you can install the Mixtape app.

Pros
  • Option to buy individual tracks on iTunes
  • Nice, sleek interface
  • Log in with your 8tracks account
Cons
  • Can't change app size
  • No search box

Download WavePad 5.15 Free

Download WavePad 5.15 Free

Wavepad is a feature-rich free sound editor for Windows. You can record from audio inputs, like a microphone or a record player, import and edit sound files. It's good for making mixes or digitizing vinyl.

The range of options in WavePad basic - there is also a commercial "Masters" version - is impressive. You can add effects, fades, split tracks, merge tracks, and much more. Performing all of these tasks is easy, and easy to undo if you make a mistake. It's certainly user-friendly, and the fact you can import more or less any sound file format makes it incredibly accessible for anyone (there's no need to mess around with file conversion).

As well as importing from your hard drive, you can also import directly from CD, and there's a tool to burn whatever you want. There is a tone generator, and even a text to speech generator, so you can express yourself with a robotic voice. There are tabs at the bottom of the edit window for you to move easily between open files, a zoom tool so it's easy to highlight exactly the part you want when editing, and the highlighting itself is really intuitive, allowing you to apply effects with precision.

The one function I think WavePad is missing is a BPM analyzer - although this is sometimes unreliable in other programs, it's a nice feature to have.

For anyone that wants to mess around with their sound files - WavePad is a great and lightweight program to use.

Recent changes
  • Added new toolbar icons
  • Changed name of "Set Flat" button in Envelope effect to "Restore Preset"
  • Fixed crashes if WavePad run from MixPad's 'Edit Clip' menu item to edit sound clip
  • Fixed 'Genre', 'URL' and 'Picture' not being saved to mp3 when editing ID Tags
  • Fixed paste shortcut (Command+V) not working if pasting from one clip window to another
  • Fixed Edit Sample mode changing next sample, not the current sample
  • Fixed Go-to-Start and Go-to-End buttons moving red line to beginning or end when zoomed in, but not moving the waveform view
  • Improved ID3 tag support
  • Removed Save Playlist items from menu options (not supported on MacOS)
WavePad supports the following formats

WAV, MP3, VOX, GSM, RM, AU, AIF, FLAC, OGG

Pros
  • Lots of features
  • Accessible
  • Supports most formats
Cons
  • Burn and Tone Generator require further (free) downloads

Download Cobian Backup 11.2 Free

It's always a pain trying to remember to backup things so why not take care of it automatically with Cobian Backup?

Cobian Backup works as both an application and service. The program is very light on resources for a backup program of its size and runs in the background very discreetly. it makes periodic backups but unlike some programs, doesn't seem to slow down your PC in the process. Cobian Backup acts too quickly to really slow down whatever you are doing although if it has to backup a very big file, you will notice some lag (more than 1 GB).

Cobian Backup only copies your files and folders in their original or compressed mode to another destination and does not perform any compression itself. This is to ensure that nothing is corrupted during the backup process but if you are backing up particularly large files, you might find this something of a problem unless you've got lots of backup space. However, Cobian Backup has limited compression and strong encryption methods available if you need to reduce the size of your files and protect them at the same time.

Cobian Backup is a very convenient program that backups quickly, quietly and without any further prompting from its user.

Recent changes
  • The main feature of this release consists in the possibility of executing command line expressions
Pros
  • Backups very quick and discreet
Cons
  • Not suitable for very large files as no compression

Download Revo Uninstaller 1.94 Free

Revo Uninstaller is the best uninstaller we've ever seen for Windows, allowing you to remove even the most stubborn programs.

Easy to use

Using Revo Uninstaller is very simple. As soon as its installed, the main interface displays which programs are installed. Right click on the icon for options and information, or simply select the one you want to remove and Revo Uninstaller performs a very through removal process, including making a backup point in case anything goes wrong or it removes something you don't want it to.

Revo Uninstaller delves deep into your Registry to remove all entries and other temporary files that most other uninstallers leave behind. It uses a wizard approach - at each step, Revo Uninstaller prompts you to select which files you want to remove. The app also has two alternative ways of removing programs - Hunter and Drag and Drop.

Very stubborn apps

Hunter Mode is perfect for those programs that really don't want to make a move. You take the little target icon that appears on your desktop, and place it over the program you want to remove. It could be the desktop icon, the start page entry or even the folder on your C: drive and is perfect for those irritating apps that don't show up in the installed programs list. Revo Uninstaller's Drag and Drop mode is similar, but instead you drag the program item to the icon - amusingly designed as a burning fire!

There is very little to fault with Revo Uninstaller - it's a great uninstaller, and free. What more could you ask for?!

SterJo Task Manager is a free replacement task manager for your Windows PC.

While the default Windows task manager is enough for most consumers, those looking for more features and controls will want to look to third party task managers to monitor their PCs.

All of the core features of a good task manager can be found within SterJo Task Manager. Users can get information about specific applications or processes, view Windows' services and kill programs. Where SterJo Task Manager differentiates itself is with the ability to show detailed network connection information, which allows users to pinpoint what ports and IP addresses are being accessed by each program.

SterJo Task Manager even gives users the option to pause, resume, or stop specific tasks. This makes it a powerful tool for troubleshooting suspicious activity on your PC.

Overall, SterJo Task Manager is a great tool for auditing a PC. While it's powerful, however, competitors like Task Manager DeLuxe offer more features.

Download Yahoo! Messenger 11.5.0.228 Free

Yahoo! Messenger 11 allows you to chat to your Yahoo! and Facebook friends via instant messaging.

To bring Yahoo! Messenger up to date, Facebook chat has been integrated into the latest version, along with social games like Mafia Wars. You can now use video chat in full-screen mode, and the 'Always On' feature means you'll stay connected whether on mobile, at home or at work.

You can of course update your Facebook status from Yahoo! Messenger, and also on Yahoo! What hasn't changed from the previous version is the amount of bloat in the app. Some people may appreciate the shared videos, social games (as shown in the video here), radio stations, emoticons, search bar and so on. However, all this stuff adds a lot of weight to the Yahoo! Messenger, and it feels unsophisticated today. The video call quality in Yahoo! Messenger is pretty good, however, and in fact if it stuck to being a chat app, we would recommend it more highly!

The amplification of social aspects in Yahoo! Messenger isn't a revolution. If you love all the bells and whistles, you'll love this app, but many people will find it annoying and intrusive.

Recent changes
  • Tabbed IMs
  • Improved Spam Management
  • New Social Games
  • Easy Access to Recent Contacts
  • Smart Archiving
  • Snap and Share
  • Quick Access to All Emoticons
  • Now in Romanian too
Notes

The download link points to a launcher that will help you download the actual file. Total download size is about 22.13 MB, depending on the options you choose during installation

Review last updated: 17/09/12

Pros
  • Amazing video quality!
  • Highly customizable
  • Great privacy settings
Cons
  • Animated backgrounds are ad-ridden
  • Long installation process
  • Too much bloat

Download StarForge 0.100 Very Early Alpha Free

Download StarForge 0.100 Very Early Alpha Free

StarForge is an action/adventure game that gives players complete control over the game's environment in order to prepare for an alien invasion.

StarForge blends elements from both Minecraft and the Halo franchises. Just like Minecraft, StarForge has fully manipulable environments. Players can carve tunnels, build platforms and set up weapons to protect their base. StarForge borrows elements from the Halo franchise with its first person shooter aesthetic, as well as having vehicles in the game that resemble those in Halo. Players can even fly into space, opening up a whole new mechanic to the game.

Players will spend a majority of their time preparing for the alien onslaught. Prepare your base by building up walls, putting up spotlights, and placing weapons for the best defense. From the very beginning, all weapons and structures are available to you to build up your base. While Minecraft has Creepers, StarForge has face-eating flying aliens.

Performance and graphics largely depend on your machine. This early alpha of the game requires a decently powerful computer to render its lush environments and to support its rag doll physics. The graphics in StarForge are stunningly beautiful, but players will find that they can also look crunchy at times.

Overall, StarForge is a very promising game with an already-huge fan base. The developers have the right idea and should be able to improve performance and game play in future versions.

Notes

The developer's website requires users to create an account before gaining access to download the game.

Pros
  • Fun game play
  • Fully manipulable environments
  • Intense shooting action
  • Requires defense strategies
Cons
  • Requires powerful computer
  • Inconsistent graphics
  • No multiplayer or co-op yet

Download Dictionary.NET 4.9.4535 Free

We all need to check the meaning of a word or a sentence in a foreign language from time-to-time. And for those quick translations, Dictionary.NET is a great tool.

Dictionary.NET makes use of the technology behind Google Translator to offer you instant translations between more than 50 different languages, in all possible combinations. The program is meant to detect the languages automatically, though I have to say this feature didn't work that well for me.

Dictionary.NET doesn't require installation, and runs unnoticed in the background. You can open it with a keyboard shortcut, a mouse combination or from the program's icon on the System Tray, and then enter whatever word or sentence you want to translate. Another option ? probably easier ? is selecting a given word or sentence and then using the predefined keyboard shortcut or mouse combination to bring Dictionary.NET up with the translation already loaded.

That said, you should bear in mind that Dictionary.NET is still an automatic translator that doesn't produce perfect results. As long as you don't need professional translations, Dictionary.NET works perfectly fine for quick dictionary look-ups.

Need to quickly translate a specific word or sentence? Dictionary.NET can do the work for you.

Recent changes
  • Add: translation version of the dictionary by adding synonyms Show ( Synonyms ) (4535)
Pros
  • Support for many languages, in any combination
  • Can be opened automatically with keyboard or mouse shortcuts
  • Translate text by selecting it with your mouse
Cons
  • No perfect results (as with any automatic translator)
  • Automatic language detection doesn't work properly

Download Match'A'Shape Free

Match'A'Shape is a simple puzzle game that challenges players to get their puzzles to match the given picture.

Match'A'Shape is nothing new. It is basically the game where a picture on a grid of squares needs to be moved around to form the original picture. The game's simplicity continues to its controls and graphics. Blocks are different colors and clicking in the center where four squares meet rotates them clockwise.

Unfortunately, there's no way to rotate counterclockwise, so you will be clicking quite a lot. Match'A'Shape keeps track of how many clicks and how long it takes you to solve each puzzle. Do it quickly enough and in as few steps as possible to score 3 out of 3 on a level. New levels unlock after each successful level.

One of the biggest problems with Match'A'Shape is how buggy it is. Match'A'Shape consistently crashed during gameplay, especially after finishing a level. Luckily our game continued where we left off. Match'A'Shape really needs to work on stability.

Overall, Match'A'Shape is a decently fun, free game but its stability problems and repetitive gameplay make it tough to recommend.

Pros
  • Simple, addictive game play
  • Intuitive controls
Cons
  • Crashes constantly
  • Gameplay can get repetitive

Download Glary Utilities Portable 2.46.0.1518 Free

After testing the desktop version of Glary Utilities a while ago, I was pleased to see that the developers of this great PC toolkit have now released a portable edition.

With Glary Utilities Portable you can now take all the program's tools anywhere with you, and use them to optimize, repair, tweak and improve any computer without leaving any usage traces on the host computer. Glary Utilities Portable doesn't require installation and can be run directly from any USB device.

Now, don't let yourself be fooled by the "portable" tag of this program. Glary Utilities Portable is by no means a stripped-down version of the desktop program. It does include all the system utilities you need for all sorts of PC maintenance tasks, and they're all neatly organized into several categories so you can easily find what you're looking for: disk cleaner, startup manager, tracks eraser, duplicate file finder and many more.

All the tools included in Glary Utilities Portable are generally very easy to use, so don't be afraid of trying them out. Also, in the case where any of them make important changes to the system ? such as the Registry Cleaner ? Glary Utilities Portable creates a backup copy first. The only weird thing is that the appearance of these tools is completely different from Glary Utilities Portable's main interface, but that's no big deal.

Glary Utilities Portable is a light yet powerful maintenance toolkit that you can take anywhere to repair, clean, optimize and improve any computer.

Pros
  • Easy to use
  • No installation required, can be run from a USB drive
  • Impressive selection of maintenance tools
Cons
  • Minor design discrepancies

LG PC Suite software is a one-stop shop for managing everything on your LG mobile phone.

There are third party software developers like Moborobo developing programs to manage Android phones but its nice to see phone manufacturers building apps specific for their own phones. The LG PC Suite makes it easy to manage data on your LG phone by offering USB and Bluetooth connectivity, called Air Sync. While Bluetooth gives you the flexibility to go wireless, USB will be faster for transferring data.

Users of the LG PC Suite will have to create an account with LG for syncing with their servers to keep your basic data safe. The LG PC Suite has the ability to back up your contacts, calendar, notes, photos, music and more, making it a very capable back up system for LG phones.

Another nice and unique feature that the LG PC Suite provides is the ability to control your LG phone on the computer. The screen is mirrored on the PC, making it easier to interact with the device without actually being on the phone.

Overall, the LG PC Suite is a great piece of software from LG. It's a shame it only developed the software for its own phone as it would have been nice to use it with other phones, especially Android smartphones.

Pros
  • USB or Bluetooth sync
  • Phone interface mirroring
  • Great multimedia manager
Cons
  • Only works with LG Android phones
  • Have to have phone connected before launch

Download The Walking Dead Free

The Walking Dead from TellTale Games is an epic point and click action-adventure game that stays faithful to The Walking Dead canon while providing new storylines.

This episodic game has only seen the release of the first episode, "A New Day," but it's easy to see that the rest of the episodes will be excellent. You start off as Lee Everett, a convicted felon. You will soon find out what crime he's committed and you will decide the fate of his character.

The Walking Dead focuses around dialog choices. Players are given a limited amount of time to choose between several dialogs, similar to Mass Effect's dialog system, except Mass Effect doesn't have a time limit. By introducing a time limit, players feel a sense of urgency. The Walking Dead allows you to portray Lee as a misunderstood man or a hardened criminal.

The story is engrossing, bolstered by great voice acting and character models. While the graphics in The Walking Dead aren't the most advanced, its cell shaded art style brings the comic book characters to life with vivid colors and hard brush strokes.

Since there are so many choices a player can make in The Walking Dead, your friends playing the same game will most likely have different stories than you. This gives The Walking Dead some stellar replay value.

TellTale Games has done right by The Walking Dead franchise with an engrossing storyline that bleeds into the comic book story. This game is terrific value and is a must have for fans of the comic or show.

Pros
  • Compelling story
  • Dialog choices really matter
  • Tons of replay value
  • Great graphics
  • Gamepad support
Cons
  • Some frustrating controls
  • Some rare, unrealistic character reactions

O&O DiskImage is a professional tool that helps you back up sensitive data by creating an image of your hard drive.

Making security backups of your computer is a slightly complex process, which is precisely why lots of people fail to do it properly. O&O DiskImage will take a virtual snapshot of your system and all the information on it. You can then use this snapshot to restore your data in case disaster ever strikes. Obviously, it's a good idea to store this file separately from your computer!

Disk imaging isn't complicated, but looks a little intimidating. O&O DiskImage makes the task as easy as possible by providing a start page that lists the basic tasks you might want to carry out, ample help files, and an info panel, with basic information on the task in hand. Even still, you'll probably have to refer to the help files the first few times you use the program.

Happily, O&O DiskImage has improved several of the features that weren't up to scratch the last time, most notably the encryption options for your image files. It is now possible to choose between three different modes, so you can relax in the knowledge that your data is safe.

O&O DiskImage allows you to carry out three basic tasks - imaging, incremental imaging and cloning. The differences between these options are well explained in the O&O DiskImage help files. When imaging, there are three modes - used sector, forensic and direct forensic - while the program will alert you if you haven't chosen the right mode for the job. Finally, O&O DiskImage allows you to burn the resulting .OMG files to disc so they are easily accessible to restore your system ¡f disaster strikes.

Don't be intimidated - O&O DiskImage is an imaging program worth getting to grips with.

Pros
  • Can schedule jobs
  • Generates reports
  • Choose from various imaging profiles
Cons
  • Looks intimidating for inexperienced users
