UrlSnooper / Re: Embedded flash videos

« on: July 22, 2016, 09:36 AM »

You're right: https://www.donation....msg351785#msg351785.  I've yet to find a program that can do this.

UrlSnooper / Embedded flash videos

« on: July 21, 2016, 06:58 PM »

I installed this to download an embedded flash video but the program shows no results after entering the URL in to manual scan box at the program's bottom.  Did I do something wrong or is this program incapable of sniffing flash video links.  Thanks.

Wise Care 365 Pro 4.2.2

There is one day, nine hours and change as of this post time, left on the giveaway.  A simple download when you give them your email address.  No license key.  It is unlocked/preregistered with no expiration but also no updates.

There are a lot of freeware disk/registry cleaners available but not defragers.  That's the strength of WiseCare Pro; it offers all four in one program.  Fewer installed programs, fewer conflicts.

+1 on CCleaner.  I use it daily after each session.  Sometimes though, a more aggressive registry cleaning is necessary and suites provide that along with reg defrag.

No nag screen on 4.17 PRO windowsdeal.com version.  In fact, I don't recall any registration problems and/or nag issues with windowsdeal software compared with GiveAwayOfTheDay software.

I don't read it as saying it will stop functioning after 6 months -- only that you won't be able to update it.

Fair enough.  I guess they're at least being honest about how long this will handle all ad issues thrown at it unlike like a lot of those giveawayoftheday programs that mysteriously stop functioning despite being marketed as "lifetime."

Adguard license claims Https filtering.  If that works on Youtube, this program might be a keeper.

Also states, "Note: The giveaway version of Adguard for Windows has no function limits. But the giveaway license key doesn't support free updates and free tech support."  Rather confusing but I interpret that as saying the giveaway version will offer neither updates nor support and after six months, it won't function at all.

Translation: This is not a giveaway but simply a six-month trialware version beyond the normal 14-day trial version always available.  Rather sneaky.  Or am I being too critical?

Unusual that you weren't able to opt-out of the spyware.  All of the install effort really does make this not worth the bother.

Interesting and have tried it but like a lot of others have said, this would be good for mainly Win 8.X users.  Hoping Win 7 will last as long as XP did and for that matter, still has.

I agree that this WAS worth installing over the previous GOTD version.  Its portability is icing on the cake.  Loads a bit slow but still preferable overall to freeware AbiWord.

Turns out it's one version increment up from GOTD's and with all of these giveaways, one has to adjust settings never to call home for updates unless of coarse they're included for a certain duration.  Still worth the download since this is a decent tool.

Expired.  This might have been useful as software often creates right-click entries w/o permission and a file assoc. shortcut would have been handy.

Switched to Panda Free AV from avast! and haven't looked back.  Panda appears to be less of a resource hog and has performed fine.  But the thing with this deal is that it doesn't state how long it's good for.  Usually after a year, Global AV deals expire and updates require purchase.  Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?

Thanks for the alert, though.

Found Deals and Discounts / Re: Glary Utilities Pro [DISCOUNT: 75% OFF!] 2.44.0.1450 Softpedia

« on: June 16, 2015, 09:39 AM »

I installed a previous give away version of GU Pro on a Win7 Pro laptop and haven't used it much but noticed immediately that it phones home at startup.  Have been digging in settings to eliminate that.  In the meantime, it's still useful as an alternative utilities tool whenever Win7 acts up which it practically never does.  Downloaded today's giveaway to update the previous version.

Aside from that, I've found the daily WindowsDeal newsletter where the 100% off GU Pro offer is listed, interesting.  Was considering 15% off deal for CCleaner Pro then searched "CCleaner coupon" and found a 25% discount offer.  The free version has been good enough so didn't bite.  Don't much care for CCleaner's new modern GUI.
