Cleanmem 1.0

http://www.majorgeeks.com/Cleanmem_d5972.html

By Shane C.,
Cleanmem is a tool I wrote for my customers and
there systems and decided to release it on the net.
The program will install and set it to run every 30
min via the windows task scheduler. Install it and
you’re done! The program doesn’t run in the
background, once it does its job it closes and
doesn’t run again until the task scheduler runs it.
The program is very simple to operate as it will run
and clean the memory out of all processes it can,
without any user input. Some anti viruses and such
protect their processes so of course cleanmem
can’t touch those. This doesn’t work like other
memory cleaners that do nothing but force windows
to free up memory by using up all the avail. memory.
This old trick then causes your system to lag big time!
Cleanmem works in a matter of about 5 sec. It uses
a windows api call that is in Windows 2000,xp,2003,
Vista & 2008 that tells windows to cleanup the
workspace of a processes thus freeing up any memory
the process no longer needs. Other memory
cleaners end up forcing the memory into the page file
slowing down your system. This tool does not.
The API call frees up unused memory from programs,
when a program needs the memory again it can
simply take it
back instead of forcing the memory out of ram and
into the page file. A good example is this, say you
have quickbooks installed and setup for multi user
mode. The quickbooks service takes 37mb of memory
just sitting there! when cleanmem is ran it uses only
600kb and wont grow again until it actually is used.
The same goes for all processes. If a processes needs
more memory it gets it back in a sec, I have it set to
run every 30 min in the windows task sched. You wont
notice any performance hit of any kind even when
pushing your system to the max playing a heavy 3d
game (In my case I tested it playing Age Of Conan)
So basically set it and forget it, memory leaks from
programs will be a thing of the past with this tool.
if you need to run it manually you can simply make
a shortcut to it in the system32 dir, or just open
your run command and type in cleanmem and hit ok!
To see when it works just open the task manager

CryptoExpert 2008 Lite 7.6.0

http://www.1stdownload.com/drive-encryption-free/

On the fly drive encryption software for home

CryptoExpert creates encrypted virtual disks and
these disks are visible as usual disks with drive letters
(for example, G:, H:, Z:, i.e. with any drive letter that
is not used by other system devices). The data stored
on a CryptoExpert disk is stored in the container file.
A container is a file, so it is possible to backup a
container, move or copy it to other disk (CD-ROM or
network, for instance) and continue to access your
encrypted data using CryptoExpert. Any free drive
letter (or choosen letter) in the system may be used
to mount and to open an encrypted file-container for
access. When the virtual disk is opened, you can
read and write data as if it were a conventional removable
disk. You can do anything with a CryptoExpert virtual
drive that you can do with a normal hard drive; only that
with CryptoExpert, the encrypted volumes require password
authentication before the files become accessible.

Product Features:
* Using powerful encryption algorithm to encrypt your
data: CAST 128 bit
* Ability to create encrypted containers (files vault)
up to 20 Megabytes in size
* Access to your files on virtual volume on the fly
* Mapping any free drive letter like G:, F:, K: f
or virtual volume
* Requires password authentication before the
files become accessible
* Works with all Windows application - even
DOS applications
* Really Fast
* Looks like normal hard drive
