ChaseandSam - Free Downloads

This week I’m sending links to two software
companies that provide some free versions
of their commercial software. First Allway
Sync free file and folder synchronization
software for Windows. Then 2BrightSparks
that offers ten freeware programs.

Allway Sync version 8.1.1

http://allwaysync.com/

Allway Sync uses innovative synchronization
algorithms to synchronize your data between
desktop PCs, laptops, USB drives and more.
Allway Sync combines bulletproof reliability
with an extremely easy-to-use interface.
=================================

2BrightSparks’ 100% Freeware

http://www.2brightsparks.com/freeware/freeware-hub.html

SyncBack Freeware V3.2.18.0
SyncBack is our freeware program that helps
you easily backup and synchronize your files
to: the same drive; a different drive or medium
(CDRW, CompactFlash, etc); an FTP server;
a Network; or a Zip archive.

InfoHesive Freeware Viewer V1.3
Read InfoHesive Help Files and eBooks using
the freeware InfoHesive Viewer. With no nag
screens, buy buttons, or upgrade notices, this
is an excellent royalty-free publication medium
with a Print Article or WorkSpace feature and
an onboard Print Designer for added reader
flexibility.

OnClick Utilities
OnClick Utilities is a a suite of powerful software
programs from 2BrightSparks that will transform
your daily computing experience. Four programs
in the suite are available as freeware and featured
below. Enhanced versions of these programs are
also available for those who pay for a license.
Entering a serial number will immediately unlock
all the enhanced versions in the OnClick Utilities
suite.

EncryptOnClick Freeware
EncryptOnClick is a program that lets you securely
encrypt and decrypt files.
EncryptOnClick is like hiring your own highly
experienced data security guard who ensures the
files you want to keep safe and out of view from
others stay that way. The program is very simple
to use and features military grade 256-bit AES
encryption.

DeleteOnClick Freeware
When you delete a file or folder using Windows,
it is usual for the file or folder to be moved to the
Recycle Bin (Trash). When the Recycle Bin is
emptied, the data you have deleted is not actually
removed from your computer. Instead, Windows
makes the space occupied by the file available for
writing. In other words, every file you delete using
Windows is potentially recoverable in the short
term. If you create a new file after deleting using
Windows, or save a changed file, it may write over
the ‘deleted’ file’s space, thus destroying it
permanently. Likewise, defragmenting will possibly
overwrite the deleted files.

HashOnClick Freeware
HashOnClick is a very simple to use file validation
utility for Microsoft Windows 98SE/ME/ 2000/XP/2003
and Vista.
HashOnClick quickly and easily provides information
to compare hash values side by side to establish the
data in one file exactly matches (or not) the data in
another. Ensure that the files you receive haven’t been
tampered with.

PatchOnClick Freeware
PatchOnClick is an easy to use program that
allows you to send and receive updates to large
files without having to send or receive the whole
file each time.
Sending and receiving smaller patch files is less
burdensome on servers, firewalls, and security
programs which scan data as it is sent and received.

Then there are three freeware apps from 2BrightSparks
that are no longer in development. All are on their free-
ware page.

This week I’ve included the best screen saver of all
time for messing with someone’s mind. Then two
free programs from a software company that are
pretty cool. One adds extra buttons and extra
functionality to your right click. The other is a
steganography application for hiding your E-mail
messages inside a picture.

BlueScreen Screen Saver v3.2

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897558.aspx

Introduction

One of the most feared colors in the NT world is blue.
The infamous Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) will pop up
on an NT system whenever something has gone terribly
wrong. Bluescreen is a screen saver that not only
authentically mimics a BSOD, but will simulate startup
screens seen during a system boot.

* On NT 4.0 installations it simulates chkdsk of disk
drives with errors!
* On Win2K and Windows 9x it presents the Win2K
startup splash screen, complete with rotating
progress band and progress control updates!
* On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 it
present the XP/Server 2003 startup splash screen
with progress bar!

Bluescreen cycles between different Blue Screens and
simulated boots every 15 seconds or so. Virtually all the
information shown on Bluescreen’s BSOD and system
start screen is obtained from your system configuration -
its accuracy will fool even advanced NT developers. For
example, the NT build number, processor revision, loaded
drivers and addresses, disk drive characteristics, and
memory size are all taken from the system Bluescreen
is running on.
Use Bluescreen to amaze your friends and scare your
enemies!

Bluescreen runs on Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000,
Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 and Windows 9x
(it requires DirectX).

Installation and Use

Note: before you can run Bluescreen on Windows 9x,
you must copy \winnt\system32\ntoskrnl.exe from a
Windows 2000 system to your \Windows directory.
Simply copy Sysinternals BLUESCRN.SCR to your
\system32 directory if on Windows NT/2K, or
\Windows\System directory if on Windows 9x. Right
click on the desktop to bring up the Display settings
dialog and then select the “Screen Saver” tab. Use the
pull down list to find “Sysinternals Bluescreen” and apply
it as your new screen saver. Select the “Settings” button
to enable fake disk activity, which adds an extra touch
of realism!
Note: Some virus scanners flag the Bluescreen screen
saver as a virus. If this is the case with your virus scanner,
you may not be able to use this screen saver.
==========================================

4t Tray Minimizer Free

http://www.4t-niagara.com/tray.html

This week I’m getting really geeky with a
drive partitioning and cloning tool written
with an alternative operating system.
OTW Other Than Windows. It was made
with Visopsys (VISual OPerating SYStem).
Here is a link to the ISO and floppy image
for the tool and a link to the OS it came
from. Now if you really want impress and
confuse your fellow geeks, I’m including
links to a few other alternative and some-
what obscure operating systems. You can
load them up on a PC, leave it running and
freak out that special arrogant geek who
irritates you.

Partition Logic ver 0.69

http://partitionlogic.org.uk/index.html

ABOUT PARTITION LOGIC

Partition Logic is a free hard disk partitioning and data management
tool.  It can create, delete, erase, format, defragment, resize, copy,
and move partitions and modify their attributes.  It can copy entire
hard disks from one to another.

Partition Logic is free software, available under the terms of the GNU
General Public License.  It is based on the Visopsys operating system.
It boots from a CD or floppy disk and runs as a standalone system,
independent of your regular operating system.

Partition Logic is intended to become a free alternative to such
commercial programs as Partition Magic, Drive Image, and Norton Ghost.

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

Partition Logic supports most basic PC hardware without any additional
work or configuration.  It has very modest (by today’s standards)
requirements:

* Pentium-class or better x86 processor.  Supports all modern
Intel x86 and AMD processors.
* 32 megabytes RAM memory (16 megabytes if operating in text mode).
* IDE (ATA) hard disks for partitioning.
* IDE (ATAPI) CD-ROM drive, if booting from the CD version.
* Standard PC floppy disk, if booting from the floppy disk version.
* For graphics mode, a VESA 2-compatible graphics card with linear
framebuffer support.
* USB or PS/2-syle keyboard.
* USB or PS/2-style mouse, if operating in graphics mode.

LIMITATIONS

Partition logic has the following limitations:

* Does not work with some SATA hard disks
* No hardware support for non-USB SCSI hard disks
* Supports only DOS/Windows-style MBR partition tables (used on
nearly all IBM PC-compatibles).  No support for Sun or BSD disk
labels, or EFI/GPT tables used on Itanium and Intel Mac platforms.
* Cannot format partitions as NTFS or EXT3.  Can format as FAT
(12/16/32), EXT2, and Linux swap.
* Cannot resize FAT or EXT filesystems.  Can resize NTFS (Windows
XP) and Linux swap.
* No hardware support for serial mice
* No hardware support for PCMCIA

These limitations are intended to be fixed in future releases.
================================

Visopsys 0.69

http://visopsys.org/index.html

Visopsys (VISual OPerating SYStem) is an alternative operating system
for PC-compatible computers, written “from scratch”, and developed
primarily by a single hobbyist programmer since late 1997.

Visopsys is free software and the source code is available under the
terms of the GNU General Public License.  The libraries and header
files are licensed under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public
License.

The bulk of Visopsys is a fully multitasking, 100% protected mode,
virtual-memory, massively-monolithic-style kernel.  Added to this is a
bare-bones C library and a minimal suite of applications — together
comprising a small but reasonably functional operating system which
can operate natively in either graphical or text modes.  Though it’s
been in continuous development for a number of years, realistically
the target audience remains limited to operating system enthusiasts,
students, and assorted other sensation seekers.  The ISO and floppy
images available from the download page can install the system, or
operate in ‘live demo’ mode.

SkyOS build 6915

http://www.skyos.org/?q=node

The Sky Operating System, or SkyOS, is an operating system written for
x86-based personal computers. SkyOS was created in 1996 by Robert
Szeleney as a small bootloader. In the past 8 years, SkyOS has evolved
into a full-featured, modern operating system, with a goal to be the
easiest to use desktop operating system available for the average
computer user. The development staff has also increased to include
business, software, and graphics developers.
=================================

Syllable 0.6.5

http://web.syllable.org/pages/index.html

So what exactly is Syllable and what can it do for you? We are
producing two operating systems: Syllable Desktop and Syllable Server.
They are meant for different roles, but they share the goals of being
as easy to use as possible while still being very powerful. Syllable
Desktop is meant to run on personal computers. It is fully graphical,
so it is easy to operate for people who don’t care about diving into
technical details. At the same time, it also offers a traditional
command prompt environment that is well-known to technical-minded
people as an extra, so nobody loses out. Syllable Server is meant to
run on server computers - the ones that quietly do their work in
backrooms and that you can connect to over the network with your
personal computer. Thus, Syllable Server and Syllable Desktop are made
to work together. You can happily use them on their own and with many
different systems, but used together they will provide extra
advantages. For example, if you want to set up a network of machines,
it is easier if both desktop and server computers are alike, at least
in their software. There will be less you will need to learn and
remember to accomplish your tasks

This week I’m sending a link to a neat site
that has some very interesting software for
protecting your privacy. If you’re familiar with
the XP Antispy software that turned off a lot
of the phone home features of  XP, you may
be interested in this site which offers a similar
application for XP and another app that turns
off ET in Vista. There are also several nice
free tools offered too. One thing about the
privacy apps is that tend to trigger false virus
alerts. Read the FAQ.

[8~{} Uncle Monster
==============================

=======

The main site for all of the software is:

http://xpy.whyeye.org/

xpy 0.10.2

Small tool which disables the default threats of a Windows XP
installation. Besides disabling Windows and some of its components to
communicate with Microsoft servers, xpy improves privacy settings and
your system’s security.

Features:
- Disable Windows communicating with Microsoft
- Disable questionable services
- Tweak Internet Explorer and Windows Media Player
- Remove Windows Messenger
- Improve privacy and security
- Improve performance

Though xpy is smaller than 60 kilobytes, it can close serious threats
(i.e. DCOM) on long distance, where large service-packs can only
protect you until a new security hole has been found.

Make sure you carefully choose the settings you want to apply, to
avoid problems. If you experience trouble, refer to the Frequently
Asked Questions or report a bug on SourceForge.

xpy is currently available in two versions, Redistributable and
Monolingual. The Redistributable build includes all available
languages and is intended for distribution on offline-media (i.e.
CD-ROM) or Intranet, while the Monolingual builds try to save
bandwidth for fastest possible download speed.
=====================================

Vispa 0.2.2.1

Vispa is a small software, securing your Windows Vista installation
and protecting your privacy. In addition to so-called Antispy
features, it disables common security threats and increases your
Windows performance.
There are many reasons why you wouldn’t want your operating system
connect to Microsoft’s server, be it for practical reasons, be it
suspicion or simply idealism. Based on the source-code of the
award-winning xpy (version 0.9.8), Vispa allows you to easily tweak
your Windows Vista for better privacy and security, even system
performance. Do a few clicks rather than finding the write registry
keys or program settings.

The only recommendation I can give is not applying settings without
vague knowledge of what you’re doing. Not every setting is desired in
every environment. Vispa is no tool for beginners, just a more
convenient way of tweaking your operating system.

Important: Some antivirus software might report Vispa as Spyware or a
Trojan. Vispa is an executable written and compiled using NSIS,
false-positives are unfortunately quite common among NSIS compiled
programs. The NSIS development team is aware of this situation and
constantly works with software companies to solve such issues.
=====================================

Tools

RunWithParameters
Tiny tool, which allows running any application with a parameter.
Instead of going to the Command Prompt, users can simply right-click
an application and enter the parameters in the pop-up window.

ClickFont
Tired of the installation procedure of TrueType fonts on Windows?
ClickFont allows easy installation of TrueType fonts with just two
mouse clicks, from anywhere in the system. All it takes is a
right-click on a font.

FileQuery
A Windows shell extension that lets its user query the internet for
unknown file types, media files or any other files. Just right-click
on any file to get information from it.

This week brings some interesting free software.
One application enables you to run multiple anti-
virus scans of your computer. Another is an on
screen hard drive activity indicator if you can’t see
your hard drive activity light. There is also a link to
a huge collection of ### FREE ### clip art.

MultiAV v6.00

Information:
http://www.raymond.cc/blog/archives/2008/01/09/scan-your-computer-with-multiple-anti-virus-for-free/

Download:
http://www.pctipp.ch/ds/28400/28470/Multi_AV.exe

Most of the time one Anti-Virus software can’t completely protect your
computer from virus.

When you’re infected by persistent virus like Brontok, you’d be
frustrated if the installed Anti-Virus program on your computer is
unable to clean it. So how to scan computer using more than 1 type of
antivirus? Is the only solution to uninstall the current antivirus
program and then install another one? Fortunately not, here’s how you
can scan your computer with 4 types of Anti Virus program without
installing them.

Multi AV Scanning Tool by David H. Lipman is a malware removal utility
incorporating multiple command line scanners including McAfee, Sophos,
Kaspersky and Trend engines.

FREE Multiple anti virus program

To perform a scan using these vendor’s scanners choose the number on
the menu corresponding to the Anti Virus scanner you wish to run. The
scripts will automatically obtain the Anti Virus vendor’s files for
you. You don’t need to have them already resident on your computer.
After the files have been downloaded to your computer and have been
made ready to use, you will get a prompt if you want to run the
scanner or not. If you do want to perform a scan then click on “Yes”,
if you do not want to perform a scan (maybe you want to perform the
scan in SAFE MODE) choose “No”. If you choose No or ignore the prompt
it will return you back to the main menu. An example prompt for the
Sophos scanner is shown below.

FREE Sophos antivirus

If you choose to perform a scan then you will be prompted to see if
you want to perform the scan of a particular folder or location. An
example prompt for the Sophos scanner is shown below.

Sophos directory to scan

If you choose “No” then the AV scanner will proceed to perform a scan
of all hard disks on the computer. If you choose “Yes” then you will
be prompted to type in the path of the folder or the drive to be
scanned. The scanner will then proceed to perform the scan of that
location and all folders below it. If the drive or folder does not
exist (for example a syntax error is made in typing the folder
location) you will again be prompted to type in the path of the folder
or the drive to be scanned.

Sophos, McAfee and Kaspersky uses the same method above to ask you
which location you’d like to scan but for Trend, it will automatically
obtain the Trend Micro Sysclean utility and the latest Trend Pattern
File. After the files have been downloaded to your computer and they
have been made ready to use, you will see the following GUI utility.

FREE Trend Anti virus

By clicking on the “Advanced” button you can choose to scan a
specified folder or drive. If it is not chosen then Sysclean will scan
all hard disks.

Here is how to run Multi AV Scanning tool in your computer.
1. Download Multi_AV.exe from the link at the end of this article.

2. Run Multi_AV.exe (You must use the default folder C:\AV-CLS)

3. Run StartMenu.BAT or double-click on ‘Start Menu’ shortcut from
C:\AV-CLS folder.

There are two modes of operation: Remove/Delete and Detect Only. The
software defaults to the Remove/Delete mode which means that any files
that are deemed to be infected will be automatically removed from the
system and can which can not be cleaned. If you desire to use the
Multi AV Scanning Tool just to detect and not delete malware, you can
hit the letter “D” and place the software in a Detect Only mode of
operation. Those files found to be infected by malware will be logged
but not cleaned nor deleted from the system. These two modes of
operation are only for the McAfee, Sophos and Kaspersky modules since
the Trend Micro Sysclean utility has a GUI selection for detection
with or without file deletion.

Included in the C:\AV-CLS folder is a file called killproc.txt and is
used to shutdown or kill running processes prior to scanning the
platform. There are two processes already in the text file.
iexplore.exe (Internet Explorer) and firefox.exe (FireFox).
insert file name to kill task
You can add more file names in the text file making sure the last line
is a blank line. You can also bring up the killproc.txt text file by
hitting the “E” key in Multi-AV menu.

Note: The directory C:\AV-CLS is hard coded and should not be changed.
Multi AV should be used to remove an infection from your computer.
They are not a replacement for realtime antivirus protection but they
are an effective tool to remove malware (viruses etc.) from an
infected machine where antivirus software is disabled, out-of-date or
even if it is not installed at all.

SpeedFan 4.34

http://www.almico.com/speedfan.php

SpeedFan is a program that monitors voltages, fan speeds and
temperatures  in computers with
hardware monitor chips. SpeedFan can even access S.M.A.R.T. info for
those hard disks that
support this feature and show hard disk temperatures too, if
supported. SpeedFan supports SCSI
disks too. SpeedFan can even change the FSB on some hardware (but this
should be considered
a bonus feature). At the lowest level, SpeedFan is a hardware monitor
software that can access
digital temperature sensors, but its main feature is that it can
change fan speeds (depending on
the capabilities of your sensor chip and your hardware) according to
the temperatures inside your
pc, thus reducing noise. Several sensors, like Winbond’s and the
AS99127F support fan speed
changing, as well as others from Maxim, Myson, Analog Devices,
National Semiconductor and
ITE, but the hardware manufacturer must have connected the relevant
pins to some additional, yet
trivial, circuitry. This means that if you have, say, a Winbond
W83782D on a BP6 then you’re ok,
but not every motherboard with such a hardware monitor chip will be
able to change fan speeds.
From one of the very first hardware monitor chips that could be found
in standard PCs, the
National Semiconductor LM75 (and all of its clones, like the Philips
NE1617 and the Philips
NE1618 or the Maxim MAX1617) or the Analog Devices ADM1021, such chips
have been greatly
improved, both in their precision and in their capabilities. Current
chips can monitor fan speeds,
voltages and change fan speeds by using PWMs (Pulse Width Modulation).
Some chips can even
be programmed to vary fan speeds without any additional software
intervention. If your BIOS was
programmed to setup such chips this way you can still try to use
SpeedFan’s Advanced
Configuration to revert to manual (software controlled) mode. Winbond
W83697HF, Analog
Devices ADT7463, SMSC EMC6D102, ITE IT8712F, National LM85C and Maxim
MAX6650 are
very good candidates. Some SuperIO chips include temperature sensors
too. SpeedFan can
automatically detect them and use their features. SpeedFan can find
almost any hardware
monitor chip connected to the 2-wire SMBus (System Management Bus, a
subset of the I2C
BUS) Serial Interface and to the ISA BUS and works fine with Windows
9x, ME, NT, 2000, 2003
and Windows XP. It works with Windows 64 bit too. It can be minimized
to the tray and is
compatible with Motherboard Monitor 5.

Freenet 0.7

http://freenetproject.org/

There are governments out there in the world that do not allow free
speech or the free practice of
your chosen faith. Perhaps one day it could happen here if the wrong
people are put into office.
Freedom requires vigilance or it can be lost forever. If you have
friends who reside in those not so
free countries, Freenet is a good way to keep in touch with them.

Freenet is free software which lets you publish and obtain information
on the Internet without fear
of censorship. To achieve this freedom, the network is entirely
decentralized and publishers and
consumers of information are anonymous. Without anonymity there can
never be true freedom of
speech, and without decentralization the network will be vulnerable to attack.
Communications by Freenet nodes are encrypted and are “routed-through”
other nodes to make it
extremely difficult to determine who is requesting the information and
what its content is.
Users contribute to the network by giving bandwidth and a portion of
their hard drive (called the
“data store”) for storing files. Unlike other peer-to-peer file
sharing networks, Freenet does not let
the user control what is stored in the data store. Instead, files are
kept or deleted depending on
how popular they are, with the least popular being discarded to make
way for newer or more
popular content. Files in the data store are encrypted to reduce the
likelihood of prosecution by
persons wishing to censor Freenet content.
