PCSecurityShield MyRegistryCleaner is a comprehensive registry repair and optimization tool. Its easy-to-use interface makes it simple for novice users to defrag their computers and the advanced options and settings provide tech-savvy users the control they require in configurations.

System and Registry Backup
Registry Backup may be useful in case you want to save registry information for later use. If you happen to re-install your Windows OS, this tool will help you tune your registry and leave all programs and other vital settings functional. System Backup is useful when you want to perform a rollback to the previous state of your Windows. For example, you may want to create restore points before doing any major changes to your registry. Restore points can then be used to reproduce the previous state of your Windows OS.

Quick and Smart Scan
The Smart Scan does a full scan of all of your registry files and your hard drives to locate any possible issues. Use the Quick Scan to conduct a scan of your registry files and system folders.

Automatic and Manual Repair
You can choose to fix all of the problems detected or select individual errors for repair. PCSecurityShield MyRegistryCleaner will repair invalid application paths, uninstall information, COM/ActiveX objects, help files, file extensions, font files, most recently used files list, shared DLLs and folders, startup applications, Windows/MS-DOS shortcuts, and more. The automatic repair function enables any person, regardless of their technical level, to solve registry problems by simply pressing a button. Advanced users can opt to make registry changes manually.

Complete Registry Defrag
When a registry entry is removed it’s marked as being empty but is never actually removed. Registry defrag simply removes these blank entries, which makes the registry hive smaller so it will take up less memory. With a fragmented registry your system will take longer to boot, and programs will take longer to start up. The built-in scheduler enables easy scheduling of automated defrags.

Optimize Your PC
Cleans Windows add/remove software list, manages startup programs, checks for obsolete start menu items, scans for invalid program shortcuts, uninstall information, and most recently used files.

ActiveX Protection
ActiveX applications are able to view, modify, and delete any file on your computer. These applications are usually installed through your Web browser and there is no easy way to remove them. By inserting specific wordvalues within your registry called "Compatibility Flags" PCSecurityShield MyRegistryCleaner blocks any harmful ActiveX programs from installing onto your computer.

PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0 deletes index.dat
Index.dat is a file used by the Internet Explorer web browser. The index.dat file functions as an active database, which runs as long as Windows is active. It functions as a repository of redundant information, such as web URLs, search queries, and recently opened files. Its role is similar to that of an index file in the field of databases, where a technique called "indexing" stores the contents of a database in a different order to help speed up query responses. Similarly, when the Autocomplete function is enabled in Internet Explorer, every web address visited is sorted in the index.dat file, allowing the Internet Explorer to attempt to find an appropriate match when a user types in an edit field. Separate index.dat files exist for the Internet Explorer history, cache, and cookies. from Wikipedia

Why do you need PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0 ?
Because your Windows Recycle bin only deletes the file that you see … not the actual data on your harddrive. However, until the file location on your hard disk is overwritten many times, the files can be completely recovered using many available computer programs, or even simple computer commands. Deleted files are the first thing hackers, privacy thiefs, and other computer experts look for when they are trying to recover sensitive information from your computer or discarded disks. Employers routinely search for ‘deleted’ files to discover information about employees.

The PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0 Shred Method
PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0 shreds files using the most advanced, ‘military-grade’ data deletion methods available. Indeed, the shred method used by PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0 (5022.22M ) have been approved for use by both the U.S. Department of Defense (D.o.D.) and the U.S. National Security Agency (N.S.A.). PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0 performs ALL tasks required by the above agencies when shredding and our proprietary shred-engine is fast.

Product features:

  • Unlimited Shredding
    Most competitor products limit the user to only 1, or to a fixed number of data wipes when shredding. WinShredder permits an UNLIMITED number of data wipes. Want to shred that file 10000 times? No problem!
  • Unlimited ‘Do Not Shred’ Folder Locations
    A serious flaw in most competitor products is the inability to protect important folders from accidental shredding. This disastrous problem is solved with PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0. PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0 permits an unlimited number of ‘Do Not Shred’ folder locations to be defined, protecting them from accidental shredding.
  • Drag and Drop to the Desktop Trashcan
    PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0 supports all Windows drag and drop features. You can Shred files or folders simply by dragging them to the desktop WinShredder Trashcan.
  • True Windows Explorer Integration (Right mouse-click menu integration)
    PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0 integrates with all versions of the Windows operating system and appears as a new ‘Delete with WinShredder’ menu option, complete with icon, when right mouse-clicking on a file or folder.
  • Optional Instant Shredding
    Turn on the ‘Instant Shred’ option and you can start the shred process instantly just by dragging files to the desktop PCSecurityShield WinShredder 2.0 trash can.
  • No ‘lock-ups’ while Shredding
    Many competitor products lock up your computer while they are shredding files. While they are shredding files, you cannot move your mouse or open another program, or, your mouse is jerky and intermittent. Not WinShredder! You can continue to work while shredding is underway, seamlessly and smoothly.

Acronis - True Image 11 Home review

Acronis True Image 11 Home review

 

 

Acronis True Image 11 Home free trial download Click Here


Acronis True Image 11 Homehas built an impressive and deserved reputation in the system backup and security market with its True Image series, and has built a range of worthwhile improvements into the latest version.

Acronis True Image 11 Home is far more than a straightforward backup solution, with additions such as message level Outlook restore, system level backup and, most innovatively, the ‘Try & Decide’ sandbox feature. You’ll also find privacy tools to protect sensitive data and you can ensure files and system activity are permanently deleted to protect against fraud. These are just some of the new features that sit atop an already capable array of functionality which goes a lot further than just protecting important data.

If there’s one thing that doesn’t appear to have been improved much it’s the interface, which, while accessible and clear enough to use, does appear a little bland. This isn’t too concerning from a usability point of view though, since you’ll find instant access to both individual tools and the four main categories of software available through the suite.

If there’s one thing that doesn’t appear to have been improved much it’s the interface, which, while accessible and clear enough to use, does appear a little bland. This isn’t too concerning from a usability point of view though, since you’ll find instant access to both individual tools and the four main categories of software available through the suite.

 

The basic functionality is contained within ‘Backup & Restore’, which uses a wizard-based approach to help you select individual files and folders, system state, file categories and extensions, Microsoft Outlook backup or application settings. The last of these stores the current operational configuration of any applications installed on your system, allowing you to restore them at a later time if new software or system changes cause problems. Backups can be validated for peace of mind or mounted as images for quick access, so the degree of control here is extremely good.

In addition to its backup capabilities, perhaps the most innovative new feature on offer in this latest version is the ‘Try & Decide’ feature. This works almost like an on-the-fly system restore utility. By creating an Acronis Secure Zone on your hard drive, a protected partition which cannot be accessed by ordinary applications, you’ll find that all alterations to your system will be performed on this virtual replica.

This allows you to experiment with system alterations or new software without running the risk of doing any damage to your Windows environment. If and when you decide that you want to keep any changes, they can be applied to your actual system to synchronise the two configurations. This works well, and will be a boon for anyone who frequently alters or updates their operating system with new software or settings.

Features like this, along with small but worthwhile advantages such as the ability to continue to use your system while it’s being restored, boot-time recovery, disk cloning and the system clean-up utilities mentioned earlier, establish this latest version of True Image as the backup and recovery suite to have.
