1984 Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 Great job CaPMan! This is pretty much what i meant on the thread i posted asking for this kind of list! I like the one stop shop at lunarsoft, so we dont have to look all over the place for things. Another suggestion to make this portion of the site even better. Maybe someone qualified could provide a brief desription of what each type of software can be used for, and roughly how it works? Just a suggest. Awesome addition to the site! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hazelnut Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 One or two of the links are incorrect e.g. decrypter. Capman knows, but because of the problem with his home computer, it may be just a little while before he get them all 100%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corjello Posted January 6, 2006 Share Posted January 6, 2006 may i suggest that you add in to the AIM links the triton version? its off of beta now. All you do is install the adhack installation and adhack installs aim for you without the adds. Link - http://aftermath.dyndns.org:8888/~aimadhack/ Also - I say we put a Recomend by Winamp. I only use the lite version of it, but i could write up a pro/con of each type of winamp if you want. )corjello( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Tarun Posted January 6, 2006 Administrator Share Posted January 6, 2006 Triton is far too buggy. An old version of AIM with AIM AdHack was recommended though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corjello Posted January 7, 2006 Share Posted January 7, 2006 I've heard about that before. Mostly on the Winamp forums so my ideas on it might be biased :eyeroll: But honestly, i dont really have memory issues now that ive learned about like startup junk and extra processes and stuff. And also, all my audio files are aac or mp3 anyways. So im sticking with winamp, ive used it since around early version 2. Im connected with it at the hip )corjello( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkey Proof Posted January 8, 2006 Share Posted January 8, 2006 Track IP Addresses to find information on a certain website such as if they have been on a blacklist or the name of the site owner. you can also track where a certain email originated from. both links are easy to use http://www.dnsstuff.com/ You can get a lot of information about an IP address here, too: http://www.whois.sc/ Just put in the IP address or URL where it says Name Spinner. Also i think 'freeware list' should be added to the Lunarsoft menu. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greenknight Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 How about a category for apps to password-protect and/or encrypt files? Not sure what to call it, File Protection, maybe? There's a thread on CCleaner forums about the subject, mentioned a lot of programs that I'd never heard of. I have no clue how they compare. When somebody asked for something like this a while back, I came up with this one: Win-Guard Pro 2005 http://www.windowsguard.com/products.html It looked good to me, but whether it is any good I have no basis to judge. Anybody here know much about this type of program? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One or two of the links are incorrect e.g. decrypter. Capman knows, but because of the problem with his home computer, it may be just a little while before he get them all 100%. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> All links now work correctly at this present time, (but might be tidied up soon). Added foobar to the list because I know people love it so much. :w00t: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenknight Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 The list is lookin' good, but I think a few of the entries still need explanatory notes to make it clear what they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Capman Posted January 27, 2006 Author Share Posted January 27, 2006 Some of those may be there - I had to skim read because I'm working Cheers, Ryan Jones <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Thanks Ryan, Have now added the ones that were not already listed. The list is lookin' good, but I think a few of the entries still need explanatory notes to make it clear what they do. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Explanatory notes will follow slowly but surely. Of course anyone can post some in here for me to put in place. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimate Predator Posted January 27, 2006 Share Posted January 27, 2006 A few more: ERUNT http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/ A powerful registry backup application - but far better than backing up the registry wiht regedit, highly recommended. EULAlyzer http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/eulalyzer.html EULAlyzer can analyze license agreements in seconds, and provide a detailed listing of potentially interesting words and phrases. Discover if the software you're about to install displays pop-up ads, transmits personally identifiable information, uses unique identifiers to track you, or much much more. EVEREST http://www.majorgeeks.com/download4181.html EVEREST Home Edition is a freeware system information, system diagnostics and benchmarking solution for home PC users, based on the award-winning EVEREST Technology. It offers the world's most accurate system information and diagnostics capabilities, including online features, memory benchmarks, hardware monitoring, and low-level hardware information.

Capman Posted January 28, 2006 Author Share Posted January 28, 2006 A few more: <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Done, except for EULAlyzer, due to the fact that it could possibly mislead people into thinking something is safe to install when it is not or vice versa. There can be no real substitute than actually reading the EULA when installing a program, unless you truely know it has come from a well known trusted source.

greenknight Posted January 28, 2006 Share Posted January 28, 2006 Ok, here's an explanatory note for Win-Guard Pro 2005 (from studying the web site, I believe these features are all found in the free version. Haven't gotten around to trying it out, though): Allows you to password-protect your programs, windows and web pages, also can encrypt your personal files and folders. With extra features to lock the desktop, boot keys, task keys, block software installations and internet access. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
