Plancoin
By Romain Vallet
Plancoin allows you to hide selected windows in one keypress. It lets you set up two hot keys: one to hide the windows and show them back, and one to show the Plancoin Settings window. The program then runs in the background and responds to the hot keys. To determine which windows must be hidden, you have to set up a list of sentences. In the Include mode, every window whose title contains one of the sentences will be hidden. This mode is the default one. In the Exclude mode, every window whose title does not contain any of the sentences will be hidden. As Plancoin needs to run in the background all the time, it has been designed to use as few system resources as possible.
Abexo Free Registry Cleaner
By Abexo
What is Complete Registry Cleaner? Complete Registry Cleaner is a utility software to make your computer run smoother and faster. How does Complete Registry Cleaner achieve this? Complete Registry Cleaner achieves this by cleaning and compressing the registry. What is registry? Registry is a database where Windows and programs store their data. Why do I need to clean the registry? When data changes i.e. you delete a file, the registry doesn''t remove the invalid data, thus in this case a reference to a non-existent file remains in the registry. As the registry gets filled with invalid data, Windows and programs consume more system resources to search the database for any data. Therefore your computer gets slower and slower. Last but not least, passing invalid data to Windows programs can cause severe system complications resulting in system crash, hang and malfunction. Why do I need to compress or defrag the registry? After a registry cleanup the invalid entries leave empty spaces, which means the size of the registry remains unchanged. It goes without saying that loading a small registry is faster than a big one. What are the minimum requirements to run Memory Defragmenter? Complete Registry Cleaner runs on all versions of Windows and doesn''t have any significant system requirement. One-click disk clean up, scandisk, disk defrag, registry backup, registry cleanup and registry defrag (requires Abexo defragmenter).
Network Searcher
By BGSoft
As computers become more and more advanced, file searching utilities do too. Ten years ago, computers stored a few hundred files, now they store, on average, upwards of fifty thousand. Connect several hundred of these computers and you can understand why network file searching is a difficult issue. Professionals agree that most of today''s network searching utilities are not state-of-the-art. Luckily, there is now a product called Network Searcher, a powerful new generation searching utility for local area networks. The program uses an improved multithreaded search engine that provides almost instant LAN search results. It searches hundreds or even thousands of network computers almost instantly. And, unlike competing search utilities, the program searches through hidden shares and resources. In addition, with Network Searcher, you can limit your search to subnetworks, by setting the IP range, or applying a number of filters (from file types or extensions to the date of creation). The program does not hog system resources and supports all common file operations (moving, copying, deleting, renaming, etc.) In addition to building reports in text, HTML or XML formats, the program can also report the results as a WinAmp playlist. And, as a bonus, there''s an option to view the list of recently installed programs...a lifesaver for any system administrator. If you are not satisfied with your current network file searching utility, give Network Searcher a try. It''s 100% free to download and try.
BigSpeed Peer-to-Peer SDK
By BigSpeed Computing Inc.
BigSpeed Peer-to-Peer SDK is a set of two COM components (Agent and Hub) that lets you set up a virtual private peer-to-peer (P2P) network for secure file sharing and messaging. The transfered data are scrambled using on-the-fly 128-bit AES encryption, without need of SSL certificates. NAT traversal is implemented by using TCP hole-punching technology. The security is provided in two different modes: symmetric encryption with shared secret key and asymmetric encryption with 1024-bit public/private keys. The hub is responsible for keeping information on and authentication of online peers. All peers connected to a particular hub build a single private community. Each agent acts as both a client and a server at the same time. Fine grained access control is realized by a user-oriented permissions. They grant access control privileges to system resources and services in a flexible and secure manner. Two different kind of instant information can be exchanged between peers: alert and chat messages. In addition to standard FTP operations, such as upload, download, rename, delete, etc., the SDK also offers several advanced features. The broken file transfers are resumed automatically (if enabled), with MD5 integrity checking. The agent is able to run search operation on the peers. The server module is able to perform file compression and decompression by a request from the remote client module. There is an option to compress on-the-fly the outgoing data before encrypting, which may reduce greatly the transfer time for large files. BigSpeed Peer-to-Peer SDK utilizes an elegant event-driven paradigm for easy integration into Windows applications. A special attention is paid to provide responsive user interface while avoiding multithreading problems and maintaining maximum bandwidth efficiency. Sample applications are included in VB .NET, VB 2005 and Delphi 7.
BigSpeed Voice Chat SDK
By BigSpeed Computing Inc.
BigSpeed Voice Chat SDK is a set of two ActiveX controls (Client and Server) that lets you set up a private voice chat network for secure messaging. The transfered data are scrambled using on-the-fly 128-bit AES encryption. The security is provided in two different modes: symmetric encryption with shared secret key and asymmetric encryption with 1024-bit public/private keys. The server is responsible for keeping information on and authentication of online peers. All peers connected to a particular server build a single private community. Fine grained access control is realized by a group of user-oriented permissions. They grant access control privileges to system resources and services in a flexible and secure manner. The voice stream is highly compressed to deliver the best possible sound over a limited-bandwidth connection. In addition, the average bitrate is reduced thanks to the silence compression. In the encoder, a voice activity detector with an adjustable trigger level is used to distinguish between regions with normal speech activity and those with silence or background noise. Significant echo suppression is achieved using a robust double talk detector. Capability to mute recording and mute playback is implemented. The incoming and outgoing audio data are available in raw PCM format for visualization in the application. Two special events notify about signal overloading (possible distorsions) and transmission delays (network congestions). Two different kind of text information can be exchanged between peers: alert and chat messages. File transfer capability is implemented for direct file exchange between peers. BigSpeed Voice Chat SDK utilizes an elegant event-driven paradigm for easy integration into Windows applications.A special attention is paid to provide responsive user interface while avoiding multithreading problems. Sample applications are included in Visual Basic 2005 and Delphi 7.
