HD Tune Pro v3.50

HD Tune Pro Version 3.50 Changes:
* Added Random Acces test
* Added option to perform quick Error Scan with command line parameters
* Minor improvements and bug fixes
HD Tune Pro is an extended version of HD Tune which includes many new features such as: write benchmark, secure erasing, AAM setting, folder usage view, disk monitor, command line parameters and file benchmark.
1. How can I check if my hard disk is working well?
a) Check the Health screen
Here you will see S.M.A.R.T information which shows the condition of the hard disk.
The status of each parameter should be Ok.
If the parameter is highlited in yellow it means that the parameter almost reached a critical value. At this point it is highly recommended to check this parameter regulary to see if the value becomes worse.
If the parameter is highlited in red it means that the parameter has reached a critical value. In this case you should make a backup of your data and replace the hard disk.
b) Run the Error Scan
There shouldn't be any damaged (red) blocks. If there are you should backup your data and replace the hard disk.
c) Check the temperature
The temperature of the hard disk should not exceed 55°C/131°F. By default HD Tune warns you if the hard disk reaches this temperature.
In this case it's recommended to use a hard disk cooler to extend the life of the hard disk.
2. How can I verify the performance of my hard disk?
Run the benchmark functions and compare the results with the results from the database.
The graph should show that the hard disk starts at its maximum speed and slows down towards the end of the test.
A few downward spikes in the graph are not a problem. It means that another application or Windows was accessing the hard disk during the test.
An important parameter of the test is the Burst Rate. This value should always be higher than the maximum transfer rate.
A lower value is usually an indication of a configuration problem.
Some common problems are:
a) UDMA mode not active
Symptoms:
* the transfer rate is a flat line at +/- 3 MB/sec
* burst rate is +/- 3 MB/sec
* CPU usage is very high
Solution:
Enable Ultra DMA:
* Click on the Start button
* Select Run...
* Type devmgmt.msc in the dialog box and press enter
This will bring up the Device Manager.
* Expand IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
* Double-click on either the Primary IDE Channel or Secondary IDE Channel
* Go to the Advanced Settings and make sure DMA if available is selected
Usually the hard disk is connected to the primary IDE channel.
b) UDMA mode 2 active
Symptoms:
* the transfer rate is a flat line at 20-30 MB/sec
* burst rate is +/- 30 MB/sec
Solution:
The maximum data transfer mode is UDMA mode 2 if a 40-wire IDE cable is used. Use an 80-wire IDE cable to use the full potential of your drive
Supported operating systems:
Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003 Server, Windows Vista

Rar Repair Tool v4.0.1

Got a corrupted RAR file with some crucial information?
No reason for despair.
Just let Rar Repair Tool v.4.0 fix it for you!
Compressed archives have long become the most popular form of data storage and transmission. But there remains one problem - the integrity of the archive structure of such rar files that we easily copy to removable media or send over networks. Until recently, file damage, something we can not escape in the process of data transfer and storage, created a potential weakness of rar archives. The new generation of rar repair tools, however, provides a way to fix your corrupted rar files by applying sophisticated recovery algorithms and powerful rar repair engines.
Many things can cause file damage. The noise, introduced into downloads by line overload can cause transfer errors and finally corrupt your rar file. Physical damage to removable media can bring disruption into archive integrity and as a result you will have a rar file in need for recovery. Ordinary rar applications fail to extract archives whose integrity was disrupted. In case of a rar file damage, it is the cyclic redundancy check, or CRC, that prevents you from extracting its contents, even if their part is intact. Instead, a notification appears, saying "Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive". When damage prevents you from accessing archives, use Rar Repair Tool v.4.0, the state-of-the-art software specifically developed to recover corrupted rar files from damage. Its sophisticated algorithm helps repair rar archive structure and restore data within. The program handles rar repair in the automatic mode, relieving the user of the technical side of the process. Its user-friendly interemakes rar repair but a snap.
All, you will need to set Rar Repair Tool out to work, is simply locate files that need recovery. Then the program engine takes over. It thoroughly scans each archive and compares its current and original CRC values. The robust rar repair engine of the program allows it to recover rar files wherever it's possible.
Some rar files can "span" multiple disks, but with Rar Repair Tool v.4.0 you can easily recover rar files of any number of volumes. Whatever the number of files is, however big they are, the program's powerful engine ensures their fast and accurate recovery.
Rar Repair Tool key features:
* Repairing all versions of both RAR and SFX archives;
* Recovery of multi-volume archives;
* Ability to fix rar files of any size (4 Gb and more);
* Robust recovery engine;
* Full automation of recovery process;
* Drag&Drop support;
* User-friendly interface.

Returnil Virtual System Premium Edition 2008 2.0.0.5007

Returnil Virtual System Premium Edition 2008 2.0.0.5007
Returnil Virtual System 2008 Premium Edition
Using powerful virtualization technology that clones your System Partition in RAM, Returnil offers your users the ability to recover from harmful or unwanted changes with a simple reboot of the computer; All this without sacrificing computer performance or usability while helping to reduce technical support intervention and the need for routine maintenance.
New in Returnil Virtual System 2008 Premium Edition:
> Redesigned, intuitive, and more mature User Interface
> Third party Virtual Partition access control
> Choice between Memory and Disk caching
> Selective file and folder change commit while using System Protection and Session Lock
> Total session save
> File and Folder list Manager with import/export support
> Easier access to the System File and Folder Relocation Tool

Product Description
The Returnil Virtual System Premium Edition is a powerful virtualization technology that completely mirrors your actual computer setup and it can create a virtual storage disk within your PC where you can save documents, data, and files while using the System Protection feature.
The security of computers connected to the Internet remains a problem. Despite the efforts of major Anti-malware companies, a high proportion of computer infections remain undetected, Internet crime continues to grow and new malware is being discovered at the rate of many tens of thousands of items per day. The situation is getting worse, proving that existing security technologies, whilst useful, are inadequate.
Even if you have a properly configured Firewall, an updated and frequently used Anti-Virus, practice safe surfing, never open attachments or click unfamiliar links, you will still likely become infected. Why? Because Anti-virus and Anti-spyware scanners are not able to cope with the enormous volume of new malware; estimated by recent surveys to be more than 30,000 new items appearing each day.
The Returnil Virtual System provides an altogether different and highly complimentary level of defense. It is designed to protect your computer from all types of software, downloads, websites or anything else that might harbor viruses, spyware and other malicious programs. How does it achieve this?
Returnil virtualization technology clones a computer's System Partition and boots the PC into this system rather than native Windows, allowing you run your applications in a completely isolated environment. Hence the session and all activity, malicious or otherwise, will happen in the virtual environment, not in the real PC environment. If the PC is attacked or gets infected, all you need to do is to simply reboot the PC to erase all changes. After reboot, the system will be restored to its original state, as if nothing ever happened. All of this without sacrificing computer performance or usability while helping to reduce technical support intervention and the need for routine maintenance.
Layered security needs a stable base to be effective, and like your favorite chair, it simply will not stand on two legs. The Returnil Virtual System provides the third and arguably most important part of a true layered approach, the cure! Stop the endless, performance hogging cycle of filtering, detection, and removal. You can finally sit comfortably and start enjoying your computer.
Features
The Returnil Virtual System:
> Keeps your System Partition safe when browsing the Internet
> Viruses, Trojans, Worms, Adware, Spyware, and unwanted content disappear with a simple reboot
> Enforces settings and protects your internet privacy
> Helps reduce overall disk wear by using memory rather than HDD cloning technology
> Saves you time, money, and lost hair by maintaining or improving peak computer performance
> Reduces or eliminates the need for routine disk de-fragmentation of your system partition
> Your spam filter is strong, but not infallible - Returnil will eliminate the consequences of opening infected e-mail and/or attachments
> Leaves absolutely no traces of computer activities
> Eliminates all activities even if your computer is powered-off or crashes
> Eliminates the danger of evaluating new software that does not require a reboot to install
> Offers stronger, simpler and smarter protection for your PC

ShadowUser Pro Edition v2.5.0.225

StorageCraft™ ShadowUser™ provides easy to use desktop security and protection for Windows operating systems. ShadowUser is the best way to prevent unwanted changes to PCs and laptops. ShadowUser provides the following advantages:
* Prevent spyware and malware
* Avoid viruses, worms and trojans
* Surf the internet without a trace of unwanted cookies, internet history and malicious cyberjunk
* Test software installations and updates safely
* Allow multiple users to use one system without PC change problems
* Minimize system downtime on PCs and laptops
ShadowUser ShadowMode™ provides a safe computing environment by creating a virtual twin of your PC. Restore the pre-ShadowMode™ system state no matter what has happened to the PC. At anytime, authorized users can save changes to the system, save selected files and folders or simply return the system to its pre-ShadowMode state.
ShadowMode Explained
StorageCraft technology captures a snapshot of your volume(s) and runs an exact duplicate in a virtual PC or server state. This virtual state, called ShadowMode™, allows the user to use the PC or server as normal, but without premanently writing system changes to the hard drive.
If system changes and folder or files changes occur during a ShadowMode session, then these changes can be automatically or manually committed to the PC or server. If malicious or unwanted changes occur during a ShadowMode session, then they can be discarded with a simple reboot.
Impact on System Performance - StorageCraft solutions have zero impact to the current configuration of your PC or server. There are no modifications to partitions or the disk structure. Minimal disk space and system resources are used during a ShadowMode session and these are freed up when the session is ended.
Malicious changes to your PC or server - ShadowMode doesn’t allow viruses or worms to be written to the server or PC. When you run in ShadowMode, the virus or PC may get written during the ShadowMode session, but it can be discarded before changes are committed to the system. This approach is the first line of defense to security and provides a disaster prevention layer to your system rather than applying virus or worm updates after the disaster has occurred.
Accidental or unwanted changes to your PC or server - People make mistakes and apply changes to systems that they wish they could reverse. These types of problems are not preventable, but they are recoverable.
In many instances, systems are a shared resource. This is the case in lab environments, training centers, public kiosks, libraries and home PCs. Unwanted software installations or folder and file modifications can place a system in an inoperable or less than optimal state. Many times, the only way to recover from this situation is to go through the time consuming process of reinstalling the operating system, applications and reconfiguring the system.
StorageCraft's ShadowMode approach allows you to return your PC or server to its original configuration as fast it takes to reboot.
ShadowUser White Paper
Business continuity is essential in order to compete in today’s global market. Keeping servers, desktops, and laptops online directly contributes to a company’s revenue and downtime can be very costly and potentially devastating. Increasing numbers of new applications and solutions create enormously complex IT infrastructures.
IT organizations are burdened with the challenges of growing complexity in their infrastructure, reducing budgets to manage and maintain the growing complexity, and the need for improving service levels for end users and customers.
There is also the added burden of new virus and worm outbreaks, an onslaught of patches and updates that must be implemented and the requirement to keep all systems online at all times.
StorageCraft Solutions
StorageCraft offers solutions to help minimize the cost of downtime and reduce the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) for maintaining servers and desktops in today’s complex working environments. Leveraging intelligent technologies such as snapshot and system protection methods, StorageCraft solutions ensure system and data availability from the enterprise server and desktop environment to the home user’s PC.
Corporations, OEMs and home offices can't afford the costs associated with server downtime. StorageCraft’s ShadowServer provides non-restrictive, easy to use server protection for Windows NT, 2000 and 2003 servers. ShadowServer is the best way to prevent unwanted or deliberate changes from being made to a server.
ShadowServer is your first line of defense, reducing the time and cost associated with reinstalling the operating system, restoring from an image or recovering from a tape backup. At anytime, authorized users can save changes to the system, save selected files and folders or simply return the system to its pre-ShadowMode state.

ShadowUser and ShadowServer Benefits
Minimize Downtime and Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
Security is a growing problem for enterprise IT organizations, OEMs and home users. With the daily advent of new viruses and worms, organizations are constantly fighting against the havoc and destruction these viruses cause to their systems.
Virus attacks slow down the business and can have a huge impact to worker productivity and even loss of mission critical data. Corporations cannot afford to have systems offline. Applications such as critical databases, email applications, and web enabled systems must not be affected for long periods of time during virus attacks.
StorageCraft solutions provide the quickest and most efficient way to get these affected systems back online, saving corporations time, money and minimizing lost business opportunities. ShadowMode protects servers and PCs while allowing systems to be rolled back to an optimal state with a simple reboot. In minutes servers and PCs can be back online clean from viruses or worms. StorageCraft solutions are the first line of defense against downtime. StorageCraft solutions compliment tape backup, image, and disaster recovery solutions.
Improve Reliability
With security threats on the rise, more and more patches and application updates need to be deployed. With these new deployments come problems that can create a more complex set of tasks for IT organizations. More often than not, patches or application updates can be the cause of problems for systems. IT organizations need a standard method to test these patches and updates without affecting system uptime in case of failure. StorageCraft solutions are the answer to this problem.
With StorageCraft deployed in the environment, IT organizations can test and perform management tasks with the newly deployed patches and updates on a system running in ShadowMode to ensure the stability of the systems before permanently saving the block changes to disk. By using the ShadowMode method, system uptime is increased and the cost of downtime is reduced dramatically.
Maximize System Uptime and Performance
Users today require servers and desktops to be online and available 24X7X365. This creates a challenge for IT organizations to keep these systems up and running with fewer IT staff to assist with the demand. Many problems for end-users happen at off peak times of business where IT staff may not be available. Users need an easy way to get their systems back online and functioning.
StorageCraft solutions are extremely powerful and very easy to use. User systems can be back online and the users can be productive after an event that causes system havoc with a simple reboot of the system. Most servers are implemented with multiple volumes such as a system volume, application volumes and data volumes.
Because of the flexibility in ShadowUser and ShadowServer, ShadowMode can be applied to specific volumes. You can configure servers and PCs so that the system and application volumes can always be running in ShadowMode on the system volume to protect against malicious changes, virus or worm outbreaks, patches and new application installs that fail or disrupt the system.
The data volumes can also be placed in ShadowMode and changes that are desired can be written to disk while unwanted changes can be discarded automatically upon reboot.
With ShadowMode, there is no need to specify regions on the disk for backup, or use BIOS functions to reserve space on the hard disk for OS images. ShadowMode is the most efficient and intelligent way to protect servers and PCs from downtime.
Improve Security
IT organizations face the challenge of keeping shared or public PCs online and available to users. There is a huge security risk to ensure users personal data such as bank information, credit card information, or identity data is protected from unauthorized users. Training centers and libraries can be held liable for stolen personal information by users if they are not protecting their systems.
In addition to the security threat, there is the constant battle of users changing the look and feel and configuration settings on public or shared PCs. This creates the additional burden of restoring the systems back to their original clean state. File restore methods and imaging techniques take too much time and are costly to implement and maintain. These types of solutions often are difficult to manage and use requiring higher paid IT staff to manage them.
StorageCraft solutions are the perfect answer to this problem. ShadowStor solutions provide an easy rollback method to get PCs back to the original state. Personal information, identity data, and configuration changes made to the PC are completely wiped away from the system during reboot.
StorageCraft solutions reduce the risk involved in managing and maintaining shared and public use systems, and increase the availability of these systems in a lot less time. The scheduling features of ShadowUser and ShadowServer provide "No Touch Recovery" for IT organizations. Set the flexible scheduler so that systems can automatically be reset to their original clean state without ever touching the system. This is a huge cost savings for overburdened IT organizations.
StorageCraft’s Unique Technology
StorageCraft implements a unique snapshot method for the benefit of protecting data. When an application opens a file, other applications are still allowed to write to the file. To avoid a mix of old and new data in the application, the data being overwritten is copied to another location on disk. If another application requests this data, the read is handled by the regular Windows file system drivers.
When an application opens a file, NTFS (in response to application requests) issues a series of commands to read metadata (the location of the file in the disk) and then issues reads or writes to the logical blocks on which this particular file is stored. A snapshot is simply a consistent point-in-time copy of a volume. Volume snapshots are becoming increasingly popular and are used for various reasons:
To back up a virtual twin of a volume created with snapshot technology while the original volume continues to be used by applications. This keeps the servers and PCs online and accessible yet provides a clean backup.
To create a virtual twin of live data for testing a newer version of the application in a "live" environment.
To create a virtual twin of live data and protect from virus attacks or worms. The unwanted changes made to the data can be discarded.
To create a virtual twin of live data as part of a disaster recovery operation.

New Utilities v3.0

New Utilities is a set of system tools for each day: registry, drives, memory management, Windows, Internet Explorer & Outlook Express tweaks, etc. Repair registry errors, clean and speed up PC performance!
New Utilities features
System information
All system information will be gathered and shown in one window: general characteristics, devices, processor, memory, etc. - you should click different properties in order to know the computer parameters.
Fix registry problems
The Windows registry is a directory which stores settings and options for the operating system for Microsoft Windows versions. It contains information and settings for all the hardware, operating system software, most non-operating system software, users, preferences of the PC, etc. Whenever a user makes changes to Control Panel settings, file associations, system policies, or installed software, the changes are reflected and stored in the registry. The registry also provides a window into the operation of the kernel, exposing runtime information such as performance counters and currently active hardware.
Uninstalling or changing software, hardware and drivers never leaves a PC clean. Entries are left behind in the computer registry causing the PC to become unstable and corrupted. This results in sudden crashes, system failures and unknown error messages that ultimately cause a severe lag in the PC's performance.
Remove temporary files
Drive Cleaner - Module created to delete temporary internet files, recently used program lists, history and other items from your computer and protect your privacy.
Unerase deleted files
Windows does not physically remove deleted files from your hard drive, they stays on the drive until it is overwritten by another file. You can restore accidentally deleted files from NTFS file system.
Processes management
Processes are programs in work. You can increase their working speed or unload from memory.
Computer performance directly depends on free memory size. To increace its performance, unload unused applications.
Startup/Uninstall management
Startup items are the programs that run when the PC first starts, using up system resources (usually unnecessarily). A couple of examples would be QuickTime, camera software, etc. These programs use up system resources and bog your PC down. Use startup manager to modify your startup list. In uninstall section you can remove incorrect program records.
Internet Explorer tweaks
You can apply custom Internet Explorer tweaks and settings for suitable and secure your work!
Outlook Epress tweaks
Module enables you to tweak hidden settings: replace Outlook Express letters' folder or attachment folder in a suitable place, change custom settings, etc.
Secure your work
