System Safety Monitor is a sandbox like program that will control everything that executes on your computer. It is a great addition to Outpost Firewall and will ensure no leak test type programs, present or future will work on your machine.Startup List (http://www.lurkhere.com/~nicefiles/) Quick Heal-Support-Free Useful Tools:: Quick Heal Emergency Response Team has developed tools to remove infection of some special viruses during the virus outbreaks. These tools have been http://www.quickheal.co.in/useful-tools.aspHOME |
Will list all programs and services loaded at startup. Very useful in checking for possible conflicts between programs. Also great to find leftover startup items from uninstalled programs that may not have been properly deleted. Can be used to find malware that loads itself on startup also.jv16 Power Tools (http://www.macecraft.com/) USC - Viterbi School of Engineering - Useful Tools:: Useful Tools.

Great little all around program, but primarily I suggest it for cleaning the registry. Select the Registry cleaner, and the first page shows installed program entries. You may find instances of uninstalled programs here that can be deleted.
Then select the next page over for the registry cleaner. Green entries should be safe to delete. If you chose to delete ignored items, you are doing so at your own risk.
There is a restore backup section to undo deleting wrong registry entries in jv 16 PT, but I highly suggest backing up your registry first before making changes, using a program such as Winrescue (http://www.superwin.com/index.htm) that will create a bootdisk for you and is a great help when the registry gets broken to the point you cannot boot.All of the above programs are free with the exception of Winrescue and jv16Power Tools which is no longer free. It has paid for itself many times for me and is a must have program in my book.
IP2 (http://keir.net/ip2.html)
IP2 is a small program that you can use to determine your IP addresses - both WAN and LAN. What this means is that along with showing you the traditional IP address that your computer is using in its local environment (e.g. a LAN) it will also show you what your IP address is from the perspective of an "outsider" on the Internet. This is in contrast to the many tools and utilities available on the Internet that simply return the LAN address, which is useless if somebody on the Internet needs to connect to your computer.
Your WAN and LAN IP addresses may be the same if you are directly accessing the Internet with something like a dialup modem or a cable modem without a hardware NAT router. However, if you are using some kind of hardware router or firewall as your gateway to the Internet, your computer will most likely have been assigned a "non-routable" IP address such as 10.1.2.3 or 192.168.1.2 for example. In this situation there is no easy way to find out what your true Internet IP address is. This is where IP2 comes into play.

Faber Toys (http://www.faberbox.com/fabertoys.asp)
Faber Toys is a system utility, mainly developed for power users who want to know what's going on in their Personal Computer. It may also be used by programmers as a tool for tracking their applications.
The goal is to create an application running on most PC configurations (see system requirements), that use an FPL (Fast Property Load) technology to speed up the recovery of information on slow computers.
All information about the program is saved in a configuration file located in the installation directory; this means that no information is saved into the Registry (I don't like programs that fill the Registry with unnecessary data for the System).
I have paid particular attention to data backup in case of modification (e.g. if you decide to delete a system alias or a program in startup directory): all information is saved in several subdirectories of installation dir, ready to be restored.
RegSeeker (http://www.hoverdesk.net/freeware.htm)
RegSeeker is a perfect companion for your Windows registry !
RegSeeker includes a powerful registry cleaner and can display various informations like your startup entries, several histories (even index.dat files), installed applications and much more ! With RegSeeker you can search for any item inside your registry, export/delete the results, open them in the registry. RegSeeker also includes a tweaks panel to optimize your OS ! Now RegSeeker includes a file tool to search for duplicate files, bad shortcuts and more !
RegSeeker is FREE for personal use only !
Current Version: 1.35 (Beta)Since jv16 Power Tools is no longer free I thought I would post an excellent free alternative.
Start Up Control Panel (http://www.mlin.net/StartupCPL.shtml)
Startup Control Panel is a nifty control panel applet that allows you to easily configure which programs run when your computer starts. It's simple to use and, like all my programs, is very small and won't burden your system. A valuable tool for system administrators!StartupMonitor (http://www.mlin.net/StartupMonitor.shtml)
StartupMonitor is a small utility that runs transparently (it doesn't even use a tray icon) and notifies you when any program registers itself to run at system startup. It prevents those utterly useless tray applications from registering themselves behind your back, and it acts as a security tool against trojans like BackOrifice or Netbus.Clipomatic (http://www.mlin.net/Clipomatic.shtml)
Clipomatic is a clipboard cache program - it remembers what was copied to the clipboard even after new data is copied, and allows you to retrieve the old data. While there are many programs that do the same, none are quite so convenient, simple to use, or efficient as Clipomatic.Mike Lin's program's are fantastic and all are free. There are others available, but I have not personally tried them. :)
