Mail Box Dispatcher v1.00 [533k] W98/2k/XP FREE http://www.mywebattack.com/gnomeapp.php?id=106834

Mail Box Dispatcher allows you to control incoming e-mail messages on server side, before downloading them to your e-mail program. It acts as a simple, hands-on spam filter and allows you to specify criteria (from, subject, text, etc.) to select unwanted messages and then delete them. The program can also download a specified number of lines, allowing you to quickly preview part or all of the message. The optional auto-selection feature lets you pre-mark certain messages for deletion, so all you have to do is click a button to remove them from the server. None of your e-mail is deleted automatically, so it is safe to use without risking to lose an important message.

Network Password Changer v1.0 [409k] W2k/XP FREE http://www.twaddlesoftware.com/password/features.html

{Changing network passwords} Network Password Changer is mainly for changing the local administrator password on a group of computers. It uses standard Windows APIs to change the password on remote computers, which means it's as secure is the Windows API. To use the program, log in as the local administration, enter the old and new passwords, and click Change Password. Oh, and if you change the password, be sure to remember it.

Any Password v1.31 [568K] Win98/2k/XP FREE  http://www.romanlab.com/apw/index.html

{Password manager} I have a very deep secret to reveal; it is one that I have long hidden. My confession is this: I used to be a free e-mail address junkie. Yes, I signed up for more free e-mail addresses than I believe was legal. I used to try to juggle hundreds of usernames and passwords, but I am now reformed. Nowadays, most of us have assorted passwords (and usernames), and having a solid and easy-to-use manager for these is not only important, but can be a time saver and aggravation eliminator - who really enjoys waiting to have a 'lost password' e-mailed to them? The information stored by Any Password can be password protected. Any Password is free for individual and not-for-profit charitable entity use.

Password Depot v1.0 [2.3M] W9x/2k/XP FREE Password Depot is a user-friendly tool for the management of all your passwords. It uses security algorithms such as BlowFish and Rijndael to encrypt your files. It also includes a file shredder that complies with the directives DOD 5220.22-M of the US Department of Defense and allows you to fully destroy files created with the program. Features include a password generator, backup options, password expiration, search functions, import/export, and more. Password Depot includes a convenient browser bar that attaches to the top of your screen and provides quick access to all your passwords (without taking up much screen space). The auto-complete feature can [optionally] automatically fill in username and password for you. This free version is limited to 20 password accounts - which should be sufficient for the average user. http://www.mywebattack.com/gnomeapp.php?id=105011
Password Manager v3.0 [319K] W9x/2k/XP FREE http://www.geocities.com/ramix_info/passwordmanager.html

{Dealing with a necessary evil} No doubt, most of you are sick of passwords and having to create a new one for every site that captures your interest. However, we know it's a fact of e-life, and unsafe to use the same password for everything. Password Manager is a Java-based program with a built-in optional random password generator to take the pain out of thinking of yet another password. Features include backing up, searching records, importing and exporting records, sorting records, grouping records, locking files, and encrypting with BlowfishJ algorithm. A nice trait is the ability to click on an entry and go to its Web site. To get from installation to adding entries took little time and no help.

Password Scrambler v1.0 [605k] W98/2k/XP FREE http://www.mywebattack.com/gnomeapp.php?id=106750

Password Scrambler allows you to remember a single password for all your Web site logins, yet use a different one for each site. It does this by scrambling the master password based on the Web site address. For example if you always use the password SESAME for most of your logins, it would convert SESAME to yuhjkljuiuYRgPO, which is a lot more secure and unique to the site. The next time you come back to the site, just enter your master password and it will automatically recall the unique password it previously generated for the site. Every site gets a unique, secure, hard-to-guess password, while you only remember one. The program integrates as a button into the IE toolbar and can automatically fill your password or copy it to the clipboard. Nice program, unfortunately with one disadvantage - you cannot get a list of all your scrambled passwords if you should ever need it.

PC INSPECTOR™ File Recovery PC INSPECTOR™ File Recovery  is a data recovery program that supports the FAT 12/16/32 and NTFS file systems. Here is the scenario. You knew it was time for a repartitian of your hard drive along with the file formats. You took the usual precautions and backed up all of your important data but accidentally you deleted the wrong partitian. this is where PC INSPECTOR™ File Recovery comes in. Click here for more information from the Website and if it is something that you think is useful, download it and tuck it away, preferably off of your system, so you'll have it if you need it. As with anything, it is better to have it and not need it, then to need it and not have it.

The current version 3.x replaces the previous version 2.x, which is now over 6 years old. File size is 2.81 MB.

PC Watch Personal Edition v1.11.16 [4.8M] W98/2k/XP FREE http://www.mywebattack.com/gnomeapp.php?id=107092

PC Watch is an easy-to-use tool for basic PC activity monitoring. It captures a desktop screenshot every 15 minutes and logs all keystrokes that are typed. You can review the captured screenshots as thumbnails, organized by day of the week, and click on them to view a full screen version of the image. The keystroke log is also organized by day, making it easy to review long-term logs. An optional Pro version allows to change the interval for screen captures to less than 15 minutes.

PhishGuard  PhishGuard is a software/service that helps you detect and block phishing or spoofing attempts, usually designed to lure you into providing personal or credit card information to fake online sites. The program integrates into Internet Explorer and warns you whenever you visit a site that is known to be a scam. It uses an online community database that you can easily submit suspicious links or e-mails to by using a simple drop icon on your desktop. We tested the software with three random phishing scams from our mailbox and it detected and intercepted all three. The submission of suspicious items did not work for us, though.

PowerCrypt 2000 v4.3 [1.7M] W9x/2k/XP FREE

{File encryption} PowerCrypt 2000 is a file encoder to help ensure your files are safe by using a secure encryption algorithm. The program can encode multiple files at one time, manage archives, compress data, and create packages with multiple encrypted files. Features include MD5 checksum performing and filename encoding. If you have photos you wish to encrypt, the program changes the file name of photo.jpg to photo.jpg.cry ("cry" as in the first three letters of "crypt," not "cry" as in "boo hoo"). The new file with the .cry format is not readable without PowerCrypt and the correct password. However, this is not the last of it because it's still possible to know what content is in the file. The program encodes filenames, and can turn photo.jpg into 5351AA1F5.cry and also create a file named 5351AA1F5.crn. These two files are archived together and the original file name returns after decrypting. Times have changed since the simple days of the telegraph!

Protect Storage PassView v1.2 [34k] W9x/2k/XP FREE {Password utility} People started dumping Gator's password and form-filler utility after learning about all the garbage and spyware that accompanied the program. Despite its nasty side effects, it was a good utility. Protect Storage PassView reveals the passwords collected in Internet Explorer and Microsoft Outlook. The tool shows only the passwords of the currently logged-on user. Word of warning: If someone has access to your local machine, he or she can use tools like this to steal your passwords. It's a catch-22, but users of personal computers should be able to work around it. Stop pressuring yourself to memorize passwords, and download this while you're thinking about it

QChain.exe       Install Multiple Hotfixes With Only 1 Reboot
http://support.microsoft.com/support/kb/articles/Q296/8/61.asp"Microsoft has released a command-line tool named QChain.exe that gives system administrators the ability to safely chain hotfixes together. Hotfix Chaining is when you install multiple hotfixes without rebooting between each install. Without this tool, the only supported method is to reboot between each hotfix installation. The QChain.exe tool has the following benefits: It increases uptime for servers because computers are not being rebooted between each hotfix installation. It allows faster installations of multiple hotfixes on a single computer. It is a solution that works on both Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0."

rundll32 v1.0 [6k] W2k/XP FREE http://www.p-nand-q.com/download/rundll32.html

{Gain control of rundll32} Looking at the Windows Task Manager (Ctrl+Alt+Del), you may find rundll32 eating a large chunk of CPU time. This is a lousy clue of what's really taking up the time. This utility provides more details of what's behind the rundll32 through the Event Viewer Application Log. When installing the program, be sure to review the instructions, since it doesn't install like most typical programs. This is a great tool for CPU detectives.

{Check your pixels} Gauge your monitor's health by looking for miscolored dots, which indicate the pixel is bad or stuck. In such a situation, massage it lightly to bring it back to life (I'm not kidding here, that's what the instructions say!). If the patterns appear 100% solid, you can be a happy camper knowing your screen has received a clean bill of health. Click CTRL+S to start the test and click on your mouse to advance to the next screen. It will go through red, green, blue, black, and white screens. Look for anything that doesn't match. Oh, that was scary. I thought I had a few bad pixels, but it turned out to be kiddie prints. Those of you lucky enough to have a Mac computer in addition to Windows can download a Mac version,

{System and security repair} Put away the toolbox as it's not needed for this kind of repair. SmartFix is a security repair tool for fixing and eliminating pesky bugs and problems that slow down your computer. The system monitor is a small toolbar with information on how long the computer has been up along with its memory information.

Consider this your little Mr. PC fix-it feller.

SpeakerDaemon v1.0 [1.0M] W2k/XP FREE http://sourceforge.net/projects/speakerdaemon/

{System changes} There's nothing devilish about this program. For those who don't know, a daemon is a program that is dormant, waiting for a condition to occur. Its acronym, though not the origin of the name, is "Disk And Execution MONitor." Speaker Daemon, a program for system administrators, monitors an unlimited number of files on local or remote file systems for changes, logs the changes, and gives a report by talking. Add the files to monitor or activate the TCP server for incoming text strings on a user selected port. Features include startup options, turning off annoying voices (the program said that, not me!), and message logging.
