#273 | EULAlyzer 1.0 is something new from Javacool. http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/eulalyzer.html
I was using it and like it.
Note used it on Windows Media Player eula.txt file and got a error but not all of the eula is in English so that is why.
But it is great and helps you out. | | Distinguished Member with 5,950 posts. | | Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Space Station #5 Experience: Space Cadet |

IE Privacy Keeper won't let anybody know that!
Whether you are using Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox, IE Privacy Keeper automatically cleans up the browser history once you are done surfing the net. The program will correctly clean up all index.dat files without the need for a Windows restart.

He hee SC, But I did better then you because I can use the software. 
Really what you just post sounds great but I can not try it because it will not work on 98.
I like programs like that but got so many I forget what I have and where there at. 
It checks the health status by using SMART that is on the drives not. But from what I hear it does not let you know when your drive is getting bad like it should and most of the time your drive goes out and * S.M.A.R.T. Information (Self-Monitoring Analysis and Reporting Technology) never said anything to you.  Not so smart.
I like to get SpinRite 6.0. Not free but it does great things. http://www.grc.com/sr/spinrite.htm SpinRite is a single 170 Kbyte downloadable file too so is very small and can be run from just about anything. Read up on it and see the movie on it here. http://www.grc.com/sr/themovie.htm It will recover things that no other program will.

#279 | Advanced Browser I've opened a thread over here about this new browser I've been using for about a week. No pop-ups, No pop-unders, turns off flash animation  , pages load in a wink  , automatically clears your tracks on exit  , and I find it a lot faster and much more accomodating than IE. I've also used Firefox and Opera and so far, I'm sticking with Advanced Browser. http://www.advancedbrowser.com/ | | Distinguished Member with 5,950 posts. | | Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Space Station #5 Experience: Space Cadet |

Go to http://www.avantbrowser.com/download.html and try the BASIC version. Unless you want a password manager.
I've never had any issues with Avant and been using it for at least a couple years now. No spyware problems either?
Just my opinion. | | Senior Member with 1,614 posts. | | Join Date: May 2004 Location: Montreal, Canada. Experience: Usually old enough to know better... |

I'm trying it now. Seems almost identical to Advanced Browser, except Avant has Feeds and more Skins. For now, I'll keep trying them both until one gets irritating. | | Distinguished Member with 5,950 posts. | | Join Date: Apr 2005 Location: Space Station #5 Experience: Space Cadet |

#282 | Your Welcome .. If you have any questions on setting it up just ask. I like my new windows to open in the background so I can continue reading the current page. If you right click on a link you can select open in new window and it opens in the background .. Also .. I like my tabs on the bottom. If you want to close a tab just double click on the tab and it closes.
Lotsa cool tweaks and its fast and small.
Good luck | | Member with 41 posts. | | Join Date: Jul 2005 Location: Johannesburg, South Africa Experience: Intermediate |

#283 | I downloaded Advanced Browser and am looking at it.
It is very similar to Slimbrowser which I prefer simply because it has a spell checker.
So far I can tell you that it is pretty fast, is small and doesn't hog resources.
However, it doesn't have a spell-checker  and tends to "corrupt" my default browser settings.
Once I have run Advanced (and specify that it is NOT my default browser) if I then click on a link in an email, instead of launching Slimbrowser (my default browser) it opens IE but does not load anything - not even my homepage. I find that I then have to open Slimbrowser and make it the default browser again.
I will definitely keep Advanced on hand though - perhaps the bug will be fixed on the next version

#285 | Digging Deep. Hello,
Original post this thread: http://forums.techguy.org/tech-tips-tricks/366118-favorite-freeware-post2656023.html
some changes since that list: Out Hoversnap and its replacement (my view a superior tool) In http://www.popdrops.com/ name Capture-a-ScreenShot (see attached gif)
Well maybe maybe not on the above. Out jv16pt one of best freeware reg cleaners ever but JV has done the most efficient cleanup of the web and those of us who had the last viable version of this original freeware woke-up to find it still ran but minus the 'Tools' allied to the registry cleaner. In and a companion to RegSeeker, the unregistered version of Registry First Aid(RFA) here: http://www.rosecitysoftware.com/reg1aid/
it is an excellent tool and, as long as you can hack the limitations on the number of fixes per run, as far as I can determine it will stay with you as trialware. I am finding that RegSeeker, if used fully, i.e. first delete the History items offered then run the registry cleaner and take those out too will be oh so very close, in terms of results, to RFA. But I'm still checking this. In From PugeIE (whose superb software was my first purchase of same) comes this free utility called DelinvFile ('Delete Invalid Files') from this page http://www.purgeie.com/delinv.htm works like a treat - check it out.
Cheers.
