I guess I will not upgrade to version 2012
- because $ 47,98 PER YEAR is too much, I think -
but it is available now:

I fully understand your concerns. Sometimes I think there are only a couple of different cleaners, because they all seem to have been written by the same guy! - and I get nervous, because what if that is the wrong guy?! haha..., yeah, but...  I have the PRO set in mention, but I have never used them, because a part of me don't dare! In the days of Win2000  I made my computer unreachable, by using a poor registry cleaner. That lesson keeps popping up in my spine every time I wonder how to help my computer run faster; "how do KNOW if my cleaner is both useful & harmless?"

FBackup 4

http://www.fbackup.com/

Do you like FBackup? If you do, you'll love Backup4all Professional, here's a quick comparison between FBackup and Backup4all - http://www.fbackup.com/compare/

We are organizing a giveaway, where 50 licenses for Backup4all Professional (total value of $2500) will be given to 50 users. All you have to do is create a video tutorial about FBackup and upload it to Youtube - there is no drawing so as long as there are licenses left from those 50, you will receive one too. Here are the details of the giveaway:

    Create a video tutorial about FBackup and upload it to YouTube (video must be at least 50 seconds in length)
    Share it with other people by posting a link to it on the forum in the Tutorials section - so that we can feature it on FBackup's YouTube channel at http://www.youtube.com/fbackup )
    Add a reply here requesting your key and we'll send it to you. It's that simple!

The video tutorial can be about anything that's related to using FBackup (i.e How to backup your documents, music, movies, set up a backup job, back-up using plugins, ...), and has to either contain audio or captions, so that someone viewing it can understand it.

Note:
- by creating a video tutorial and receiving a license for Backup4all, you accept to give us the right to use your video tutorial on our site or through other distribution channels
- one license per user.

UPDATE: The giveaway is still active, there are almost 25 more licenses available.

I don't know why or when this changed, or for how long, but the 2x $20 Wise Cleaner set, Disk Cleaner Pro 6 and Registry Cleaner Pro 6, is now free of charge, if you give them a/your name and email address. Their Wise PC Engineer is still $40.

http://www.wisecleaner.com/giveaway.html

I believe this set is well respected.

Edited:
Both Wise Registry Cleaner are Wise Disk Cleaner designed to be used in tandem, allowing users to streamline their Windows Registry and optimize their hard drive, and we recommend to run Wise Disk Cleaner before run Wise Registry Cleaner.

Politely said, going from Firefox version 4 to version 6, has been painless.
I didn't notice any changes at all.
Is it a little faster? Maybe.

I think Thunderbird has improved quite a bit, going from 4 to 6. ;-)

The SoftMaker Blog
Thoughts and rants about SoftMaker Office

Posted in August 15, 2011 ¬ 5:52 pmh.admin

SoftMaker Office 2012 will be released this year. Right now, we are preparing the public beta test which will soon be announced.

To whet your appetite, we will be talking about the new features and improvements in SoftMaker Office 2012 in the coming weeks here at the SoftMaker Blog. Be sure to come back regularly to find out about the latest news.

Let’s start with PlanMaker 2012. It closes the last remaining compatibility gaps with Microsoft Excel:

What’s new in PlanMaker 2012?

    XLSX import now also allows seamless access to XLSX files created in Microsoft Excel 2010.

    PlanMaker 2012 can now also save in XLSX format, which means that Excel 2007 and 2010 can access your PlanMaker calculations without taking the detour to XLS format.

    User-defined number formats are now fully Excel-compatible. Even the most complicated user-defined formats will now be imported and exported correctly.

    Finally, we added the format Format/Cell/Text that lets you format cells as text even if you enter numeric values.

    PlanMaker 2012 supports charts not only on worksheets but also on separate chart sheets.

But better compatibility was not the only thing we worked on. We also added new features, such as data consolidation, a command to split cell contents to multiple columns, new chart types, and commands for automatically removing empty rows and duplicate values.

And Excel diehards will gladly find that the commands Copy down and Copy from left are now also supported by PlanMaker.
All customers who purchase SoftMaker Office 2010 for Windows at list price after August 15, 2011 will receive a free upgrade (delivered by download) to SoftMaker Office 2012 for Windows when it is released.

Finished Programs / Re: DONE: Windows management script
« Last post by Curt on August 17, 2011, 11:18 AM »
I understand very little of what is going on here.
On my desktop Vista "Alt+F4" will close active window/program at once. Did I get this feature from strangers?
Right-clicking a titlebar will pop up an important menu. Why would you want to disable such a feature?
2962
I refuse to use Ligt Alloy if you don't stop excusing your English! Donationcoder's forum is made of people from all over the world; we have all learned to search for the meaning rather than for the good English..., so to speak. Your English is just fine :-) and I am looking forward to test the next version of Light Alloy.
 ;)

Interesting.

Do you know if the action "Terminate process" can be used to kill ANY process that is having (stealing) focus at any given time, or if it is for a 'pre-selected' program only?

It would be very handy if it was for any program at any time, instead of this annoying procedure (when a program goes berserk) where the user has to click here and there, at a time when the computer takes ages to respond, if at all.

Then you can try xPUD, (works fine on my Aspire One), which I mentioned here,

DotTech seems to be on vacation and is re-running their review from February 26, 2010, on xPud: >xPud: Quickly gain access to your files and/or the Internet by booting up in under 10 seconds | Freeware Reviews | dotTech<

However, xPud has not been updated in at least 1½ year, and I think development has died
-but I am gonna try it anyway!

4t Tray Minimizer Free/Pro - Minimize any application to system tray!
You can minimize to tray any application like: MS Word, MS Outlook, Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, etc

4t Tray Minimizer is a lightweight but powerful window manager, which helps you to free up space on the desktop and the taskbar via the following actions:

    Minimize To Tray - any application can be minimized to the system tray.
    Roll Up/Roll Down - you can roll up any window to its title bar.
    Make Transparent - you can make a window semi-transparent and take a look at foreground windows.
    Hide/Show The System Tray - hides the system tray.

The Pro version allows you to control the behavior of your favorite applications: how and when they will be minimized to tray; customize its keyboards shortcuts for launching, restoring or hiding actions; minimize them to tray at start up and more...

Some benefits of the Pro version:

    Would you like to hide your favorite program instead of closing, because it is loading for a long time and you don't want to wait while it will be launched next time? You can redefine the reaction to its close button click and it will be minimized to tray instead of closing. Next time it will be restored much more quickly.
    You can define one hot key to launch, restore and hide the favorite application. When you press the hot key you don't care where your favorite application right now is: it will be launched if it was not running yet; it will be brought up if it was inactive or minimized to tray

The Free and the Pro versions let you to customize the hot keys both for the standard windows actions and for 4t Tray Minimizer actions:

    Minimize All Windows hot key, Minimize Window and Maximize Window hot keys
    Minimize To Tray hot key, Hide Window hot key, Minimize All Windows To Tray hot key, Roll Up/Roll Down hot key and more...
tray_4tmenu.png
Favorites (Pro version):

    You can quickly activate and bring up the favorite application. You can not worry about the current state of the application. If it is not running yet, it will be launched. If it was minimized or hidden, it will be restored.
    You can fully customize how you want to minimize your favorite application to the system tray. For example, you can override the standard reaction: on the minimize button, on the Close buttons and on the Alt+F4 hot key.
    4t Tray Minimizer can minimize application to tray at startup or at other triggers: when the application is becoming inactive; when the application is minimized to taskbar.
    Ability to hide task bar button for a favorite application
    Some application can restore itself from the minimized state. 4t Tray Minimizer allows you to block self-restoration if the application was minimized to tray.
    Quick launch. You can easy launch new copy of your favorite application.
    The Only one instance can be launched option allows you to limit instances of your application. When the second instance is launched, 4t Tray Minimizer terminates it and brings up the first instance of the application.
    You can customize Minimize to tray / Restore hot key and quickly switch your application between its minimized to tray and foreground states. Also if you use Launch if not running option, the same hot key is able launch your application if it isn't running yet.
    Minimize to tray all instances of the favorite application. You can easy minimize all instances of the favorite application to the system tray. For example, a few windows of Internet Explorer or Firefox may be easy minimized to tray. Of course, you can restore these hidden instances as soon as you wish.

I expect Kingsoft PC Doctor to be just fine, for this kind of software.
But in theory it is a threat by itself, because of the open "Cloud Security Engine" connection.

Anyway;
I would be surprised if the program has nothing to do with the other PC Doctor...
-but I don't care to find out.

Your avast! was probably the free or the "normal" pro version. Allow me to recommend that you test avast! Internet Security with "avast! SafeZone™". It is quite good.

http://www.avast.com/internet-security

avast! SafeZone™ opens a new (clean) desktop so that other programs don’t see what’s happening – and it leaves no history once it’s closed.
