Adguard is an attractive, configurable app that lets you remove ads from web pages.
It's a lovely-looking program, with clean, clear lines, and easily accessible settings. Bear in mind that there are two ways of using Adguard - Basic interface and Extended interface. The Extended interface simply gives you more visible access to the more complex aspects of the program.
Adguard has a default setting that will give you medium ad protection from the get-go. In other words, if you never want to look at the nitty gritty, you don't have to. Simply start to browse as normal and you'll see your websites looking strangely bereft of ads. Adguard didn't manage to catch 100% of ads on the default protection level, but if there's one you've missed, you can block it yourself.
As well as offering protection against ads you don't want to see, Adguard also has protection from malware and phishing sites, and eliminates infuriating pop-ups. If you delve into the program, you'll see that it's also quite configurable. For example, although Adguard works with all main browsers, you can also make it work with lesser known alternatives, or tweak its filters to catch different types of ad. To see instructions about how to do this, look here.
Unfortunately, Adguard has a major downfall. It significantly slowed browsing during our tests, which was surprising, especially as the app claims to speed up loading! It was very disappointing and, unfortunately, not really a problem that we can overlook. Until Adguard sorts its speed problems out, it's almost impossible to recommend.
Adguard looks great, is easy to use, and does a great job blocking ads and pop ups. Unfortunately, it's too slow for everyday use.
System Nucleus is een uitgebreid programma voor het analyseren van je systeem. De gratis software biedt informatie over alle geïnstalleerde onderdelen en de invloed die de software uitoefent op je computer.
Ben je graag op de hoogte van wat er op je harde schijf gebeurt, dan is een beetje hulp altijd welkom. System Nucleus spant de kroon als het om systeeminformatie gaat, want het toont in liefst 12 menu's alle mogelijke gegevens met het oog op jouw systeem. Zo neem je een kijkje bij de lopende processen, geïnstalleerde programma's & drivers en check je welke software samen met Windows opstart.
De informatie die System Nucleus offreert is ontzettend uitgebreid. Open je een menu dan verschijnt deze als tabblad in het hoofdscherm, met additionele functies per onderdeel. Als klap op de vuurpijl heeft System Nucleus ook alle standaardopties uit het configuratiescherm van Windows aan boord, zodat je de gereedschappen in één overzicht hebt (in het menu 'Tools'). Ondanks de potentie van System Nucleus is de overvloed aan functies niet voor iedereen weggelegd: vooral systeembeheerders smullen van de app.
Menu's, menu's en nog eens menu's. De honderden functies van System Nucleus zijn indrukwekkend maar slechts effectief voor getrainde ogen. Heb je verstand van systeemonderhoud dan is de software een krachtig instrument, zo niet dan raden wij het ietwat simpelere Glary Utilities aan voor onderhoud en Speccy voor snelle systeeminfo.
Met de FastestTube-addon voor Internet Explorer haal je YouTube-filmpjes op vanuit je browser. De extensie voegt een downloadknop toe aan de videopagina's, wat het opslaan van clips een fluitje van een cent maakt.
Na de installatie van FastestTube vind je pal onder YouTube-video's een knop met het woord 'Download'. Klik je hierop, dan geeft FastestTube je de keuze uit de formaten flv en mp4 (HD indien beschikbaar). Nog een klik en klaar is kees: de download is onderweg.
We hebben niks aan te merken op de functionaliteit van FastestTube, noch op de kwaliteit & snelheid van de uitvoer. We zijn er echter niet van gediend dat de extensie zonder jouw goedkeuring een andere extensie installeert. Het gaat hierbij om Adlesse Lite, een toevoeging die advertenties in zoekmachines vervangt door berichten uit het nieuws en sociale media. Dit mag dan wel nuttig zijn, maar toch geven we hiervoor liever eerst onze toestemming.
Wil je een video downloaden van YouTube, dan doe je dit met FastestTube gewoon vanuit de webbrowser. Let wel op, want FastestTube installeert ongevraagd een tweede extensie.
BitDefender Antivirus is een virusscanner waarmee je jouw computer schoonhoudt. Virussen tasten de prestaties van je computer aan en veroorzaken veel last voor elke computergebruiker.
BitDefender Antivirus is een vereenvoudigde versie van BitDefender Total Security. Net als zijn grote broer heeft dit programma een aantrekkelijk menu waarin je een duidelijk overzicht van alle opties krijgt. Naast de standaardscan krijg je antispywarescans, plan je BitDefender Antivirus naar wens in en krijg je een uitgebreide helpfunctie. Vooral gamers zullen dit programma waarderen, daar het weinig geheugen opeist tijdens het scannen.
De installatie van BitDefender Antivirus duurt belachelijk lang. Je hebt maar één kans om een eerste indruk te maken en daar laten de makers een flinke steek vallen. Het is namelijk een goedwerkende applicatie, maar wij zijn erg teleurgesteld over de vele keren opnieuw opstarten en het overdreven aantal te verrichten handelingen tijdens de installatie.
BitDefender Antivirus is een goede beveiliging voor je computer. Om je systeem te beschermen moet je echter wel eerst door een kist zure appels heen bijten. De installatie duurt zo lang dat de moed je snel in de schoenen zakt. Wat dat betreft raden we je liever het gratis Avast! Home aan.

AVG Anti-Virus has gone through many changes over the years but is still one of the handiest free antivirus programs available for personal users.
Despite being a free security tool, AVG Anti-Virus is as good as any paid anti-virus app. It features a bunch of dedicated modules to protect you from antivirus, spyware and rootkits and spam, and also includes the so called LinkScanner ? an extra layer of protection that checks search results and web links to make sure they?re safe. In recent years, the developers have added more intrusive features that try to intefere with browser settings such as your preferred search engine but overall, it still remains a good anti-virus option.
One of the best things about AVG Anti-Virus is that it offers neat, effective protection while staying silently minimized in your system tray without guzzling system resources and of course, without constantly bothering you with warning windows or update messages. Since it's the free version of a complete program, AVG Anti-Virus does show the odd nag screen encouraging you to buy AVG Professional, something which may annoy some users.
AVG Anti-Virus features a nicely designed, more user-friendly interface, and includes a desktop widget from which you can scan the system or update the virus database. Of course, you still have the same three types of scan: full system, selected files and folders and anti-rootkit. AVG Anti-Virus also lets you schedule scans for a certain day and time.
The whole AVG Anti-Virus package should be enough to ensure you're not infected with any virus. The program also integrates seamlessly with Windows Explorer, allowing you to scan files from their context menus. AVG Anti-Virus's database is automatically updated on a daily basis, so you're always protected from even the most recently discovered threats. Although AVG Anti-Virus still remains a very powerful packages, there are other anti virus tools - such as Avast! - that do as good a job if not better.
AVG Antivirus remains a perfect security solution for the average computer user, providing a powerful weapon against viruses.

Real time protection against viruses and trojans has never been more important and F-Prot Antivirus for Windows claims to have detected just about everything under the sun.
This includes worms, trojans and other threats against the security of your system. F-Prot works via the OnDemand Scanner which is your starting point for carrying out everything that the program is capable of. This includes scanning, changing the settings and updating the status monitor or at least, seeing what the status currently is. The date of the last virus update is always visible so you can see when the last virus database was updated. The program then checks for new virus signatures at various intervals whenever you go online. One good feature of this particular scanner is that it can also detect and scan external drives and even network drives. It also provides reliable realtime protection to deny any malicious attacks on your system by quarantining them before they can do any damage. your system access. It is however a rather clunky and cumbersome piece of software which seems to kick into action at the most inconvenient moments and takes a long time to scan. It does however seem to detect a huge amount of malicious data and is worth running just in case you think your virus checker is missing something.
A very thorough checker but could do with a few tweaks and improvements to make it more lightweight and discreet.

Q-Dir Portable is a standalone multi-pane file manager for Windows that makes file management more convenient and above all, far more comfortable for you.
Power users often find the standard Windows File Explorer too limited and need a more complete file manager to suit their needs. If you're among them look no further because we've got the right app for you with Q-Dir Portable. Having several windows pointing to different locations on your hard drive makes it much easier to move or copy data from one folder to another, and also makes browsing faster. Q-Dir Portable supports different layouts with 2, 3 or 4 panes and each one of them can be configured separately.
Q-Dir Portable doesn't really add any extra function to the ones already featured in Windows Explorer, but there's one special feature I did like: its ability to show files in different colors according to the file type, such as blue for images, red for music and so on. Plus, this color code is totally customizable.
Though it doesn't feature any special tools, Q-Dir Portable is still a more complete file manager with multiple panes and customizable color codes for file types.

CCleaner is a very efficient and easy to use utility that cleans and optimizes your PC to ensure best performance and freedom from malware.
The beauty of free download CCleaner is the speed at which it carries out the various scans and fixes. Its main purpose is to clean any unnecessary files from your hard-drive and on opening the program you see the various aspects of Windows that you can search through and clear. CCleaner will also detect your installed applications that may hold on to files which are no longer any use, such as Google Earth histories or Flash Player configurations. The uninstaller is probably more useful, and more powerful, than Windows own uninstaller although use it with care! If you don't know what an entry relates to in the program list, leave it alone to be on the safe side otherwise you could end-up removing vital components.
When you install CCleaner, it will prompt you whether you want to install Google Chrome as well and whether you want to use CCleaner to preserve cookies that you use regularly to log-onto websites, security checks etc.
The interface in CCleaner is very easy to navigate and before taking any action, you will always be asked to confirm that you are sure about what you want to do. There is a useful Registry Checker that will quickly check its integrity, and let you fix bad entries after making a backup. CCleaner's uninstall and startup tools are very handy to have overall and simply add to the usability of this very rounded little maintenance assistant.
The most recent release of CCleaner now comes with a Drive Wiper. Drive Wiper can be accessed in the Tools section of CCleaner and allows you to choose whether to scrub only free space or an entire drive using three levels of strength - Department of Defense-level three-pass option, a National Security Administration-level seven-pass cleaning or a 35-pass Gutmann-level deep scrub.
There's also improved support for cleaning files left behind by Google Chrome and Internet Explorer 9. Web Apps that use HTML5 database storage are also now included in CCleaner's cleaning process. Finally, a few more System directories have been targeted for cleaning and CCleaner now supports 64 bit machines.
CCleaner makes keeping your PC clean easy for beginners and experts alike. It's small, fast, comprehensive, and free to download - get cleaning now!

If you're always using the same applications and always use your Start menu to execute them, then you can speed up your life with this application.
With Qsel you can configure your own menu on the desktop to open the programs you use most frequently. You just have to set up your own list of applications and whether you want them to appear minimized or maximized on your screen. You can configure them to remain in the system tray or choose to keep it always in the background. A bonus is that Qsel does not require installation as it can be run directly from the ZIP file. It also does not touch your registry - configuration data is stored in the Qsel directory (by default) or in a separate directory. The extra SetupWiz offers a Qsel data folder in the "Application Data" domain. For USB flash drives an extra Qsel starter can be placed in the root directory and the settings are kept in a discreet INI file.
There's very little more to this program but for those in a daily hurry to start programs, it's a really useful little tool.
