Clean Your System
RegistryBooster cleans out all missing & unnecessary registry entries to keep your PC's registry in pristine condition.This utility offers a one-stop-shop for cleaning and maintaining your computer for better overall system performance. The interface is very simple, featuring only a few buttons, which makes it easy to get down to cleaning immediately (in fact, it automatically runs on start-up) and doesn't confuse you with multiple steps.
The Maintain Windows section focuses on four areas of maintenance: spyware removal, Registry cleaning, a privacy sweep, and deletion of junk files. The Diagnose System button provides system optimization tools, detects spyware, defragments your disk, and scans for hijacked Windows settings. In our tests the scan and clean for each of these areas took less than 10 minutes to complete. In many of these scans, it is difficult to tell what exactly is being accomplished by some of the tools, but we were able to test against other trusted apps, which confirmed Advanced SystemCare's efficacy in those areas.
Under the utilities section you are given several tools, which are similar to plug-ins, for other areas of optimization and diagnostic tests. Overall, Advanced SystemCare Free is a good way to maintain your system's speed and clear out junk files, but you'll need to remember to run it regularly because scheduling of scans is only available in the paid Pro version.
Slow down, freeze, crash, and security threats are over. Advanced SystemCare Free is a comprehensive PC care utility that takes a one-click approach to help protect, repair, and optimize your computer. It provides an all-in-one and super convenient solution for PC maintenance and protection. All work will be done with 1 click and 1 minute.

If you're sick of hopping from one chatware program to another, looking for the perfect mix of video, audio, and text socializing, CamFrog might be what you're looking for.
The chat rooms feature everything from music lessons to sign language to non-English chatting, and integrating video, audio, and text components are a great leap forward for chat communities since a Webcam is not a requirement. Be warned, though: There's also a slew of X-rated chat rooms--this is not a program that kids should use without supervision.
The interface should be familiar to anyone who has used any messaging software. You can create your own chat room and password-protect it, and the Contacts list has a section for favorite rooms and one-click contact adding, user searching, and profile management. New in Version 5 is high-resolution video support, interface tweaks, and the ability to send little "virtual gifts" to both friends and anonymous recipients that borders on the annoying.
Cautious users should note that the install includes several toolbars and a Weather Channel widget, which you can opt out of. Despite those drawbacks, if you're looking for a well-trafficked video chat program that serves a diverse community, CamFrog is cool place to land.
Camfrog Video Chat allows you to join real streaming video chat rooms where you can hear, see, and chat with many people at a time. Instant message a user to get to know them before you Webcam chat, and add them to your contact list. This videoconferencing software also works behind most firewalls and routers. Camfrog Video Chat allows multi-user videoconferencing where you can join a room with up to 1000 users and just click a user name to begin seeing someone. Press the 'talk' button to talk to the entire room with audio. The video chat rooms are hosted by broadband users who are running the Camfrog Video Chat Room Server software so any user can set up their own multi-user video conference for other users to join. No Webcam is required to see people, but some rooms might not allow users without Webcams. Camfrog Video Chat is optimized for broadband users so it has fast video.
Version 5.3.215 may include unspecified updates, enhancements, or bug fixes.
What's new in this version:
- Typing @nickname links to the Camfrog user profile.
- Longer custom status messages.
- Bug fixes to prepare for new server version.

One of the first applications built to find and remove adware and spyware, Ad-Aware's excellent reputation is well-justified. The Anniversary Edition continues the publisher's tradition of adroitly addressing user concerns, but is still not quite perfect.
Without a doubt, though, this version of Ad-Aware improves greatly on what has come before. It loads faster during your boot cycle. Scans take less time than before, too--the Quick Scan completed in less than 10 minutes. Although we did notice a major false positive crop up for another program's uninstaller, there were no other flaws in the scan. New users should notice that the app performs faster than integrated antivirus and antimalware programs, because only the paid version of Ad-Aware comes with an antivirus engine.
Some important features are disabled in the free version. While rootkit detection is present, heuristics and real-time registry protection are not. Ad-Aware Free cannot scan networked drives, and even a basic feature like the scheduler remains off-limits to nonpaying customers. The proprietary real-time defender Ad-Watch Live has been reconfigured to run more smoothly in the background, however, and long-time fans will notice the change.
Interface refinements make this the easiest-to-use Ad-Aware yet. Action button placement at the bottom of the pane might feel odd to those familiar with older versions, but the forced continuity between windows is a plus. Links to drill down to more information are easy to see, as is the Settings button. Overall, Ad-Aware continues to make improvements and seems to be unwilling to rest on its malware-removing laurels, but the free version is undeniably hamstrung.
With behavior-based threat detection and integrated real-time monitoring, Ad-Aware Anniversary Edition focuses on core consumer security needs. Instead of adding layers of bells and whistles--thereby slowing your computer and scans down--we have decided to focus on what really matters. Anniversary Edition provides advanced threat protection, and is significantly lighter and faster than our previous versions. Numerous changes in Ad-Aware Anniversary Edition include: Behavior-based heuristical detection; Ad-Watch Live! integrated real-time protection; Customizable Profile Scans and full integration with Windows Security Center.

Consistently at or near the top of independent efficacy testers, Avira's AntiVir remains one of the best freeware security solutions around. Its scans are flexible, allowing the user to fully scan both internal and external hard drives, run a preloaded scan--for rootkits, for example--or customize a scan. The latest version introduces antispyware protections, scanning tech that can crack open "locked" files, improved internal security to prevent AntiVir's files from being maliciously altered, and one-click threat removal--no more baby-sitting.
There are few interface changes in version 9, and older users are not likely notice anything different in the interface besides a refreshed banner logo. The main window offers a left side navigation with drop-down menus and a central pane for more detailed information. AntiVir opens to the Status menu, informing you of your last scan, your last definition file update, whether the real-time guard is active, and premium upgrade link. Events logs changes to the program and the Reports tab keeps a history of threats. Both are exportable.
The Local Protection and Administration navigation options reveal the Scanner, Guard, Quarantine, and Scheduler features. Combined with the Configuration button located at the top of the central pane, users can customize their scans as necessary. Quarantined file information is on display, with options to scan it again, restore, delete, and e-mail the file to Avira. The rebuilt heuristic engine retains the same choices from the previous version's, and can be turned on or off in part or in full and offers three intensity levels. The scheduler offers much that other free antivirus programs don't, and the help features are excellent, with mouse-over information on each feature.
Savvy users will notice the removal of the on-demand e-mail scan, and AntiVir is still challenging to fully uninstall. Despite these hang-ups and the nag screen that follows definition file updates, AntiVir offers such effective protection and a well-rounded set of features that as long as the updates keep coming, it'll be our first line of defense.
Avira AntiVir Personal Free Antivirus is a comprehensive, easy to use antivirus program, designed to offer reliable free of charge virus protection to home-users only. Avira offers: Extensive Malware Recognition of viruses, Trojans, backdoor programs, worms; Automatic incremental updates of antivirus signatures, engine and entire software; Permanent virus protection, with Virus Guard real time monitoring; Install and configuration in just a couple of steps, setup to protect your PC in minutes; Virus protection against known and unknown threats, using an advanced heuristic system; Scheduler where you can set the scanner to make automatic virus scans or updates on your system; Forum and phone support; Knowledge Base with virus descriptions available on web site; Rootkit Detection and Removal; A modularized AV-search engine for improved scan performance.
What's new in this version:
Version 9 introduces a quick-removal button for eliminating viruses with a single click, enhanced anti-spyware and anti-adware engines, and support for low resolution netbook screens.

This antivirus program offers rock-solid protection. AVG Free provides the bare necessities, including a real-time shield to prevent infections, anti-virus and anti-malware wrapped up in one engine, and a link scanner for Web surfing with care.
By default, the application is set to search for new virus definitions daily, but you always can use the scheduling tool to change this. Should a virus create serious system problems, AVG creates a rescue disk to scan your computer in MS-DOS mode. The program doesn't tax your system when scanning or when running in the background and always proved effective in our tests. The new interface is much easier to navigate than in previous version, with tabbed navigation on the left assisting users in drilling down to the tools they need.
Though the free version of this program will suffice for average folks, those who demand more control should certainly consider AVG Anti-Virus Professional.
AVG Free Edition is the well-known antivirus protection tool. AVG Free is available free of charge to home users for the life of the product. Rapid virus database updates are available for the lifetime of the product, thereby providing the high level of detection capability that millions of users around the world trust to protect their computers. AVG Free is easy to use and will not slow your system down (low system resource requirements. Highlights include automatic update functionality, the AVG Resident Shield, which provides real-time protection as files are opened and programs are run, free Virus Database Updates for the lifetime of the product, and AVG Virus Vault for safe handling of infected files.

The Ultimate CD and DVD data recovery software! Rescue lost files from a bad or trashed CD or DVD!
Save important documents, precious pictures or video from the family, your only system backup ... IsoBuster can do it all!
One tool, to support all formats, for only one very democratic price. No accumulated cost if you need more than one type media supported.
IsoBuster is a highly specialized yet easy to use CD and DVD data recovery tool. It supports all CD and DVD formats and all common CD and DVD file-systems. Start up IsoBuster, Insert a CD or DVD, select the drive (if not selected already) and let IsoBuster mount the media. IsoBuster immediately shows you all the tracks and sessions located on the media, combined with all file-systems that are present. This way you get easy access, just like explorer, to all the files and folders per file-system. Instead of being limited to one file-system that the OS picks for you, you have access to "the complete picture". Access data from older sessions, access data that your OS (e.g. Windows) does not see or hides from you etc.
Combine this all-revealing functionality with far better read and recovery mechanisms, scanning for lost files functionality, workarounds for a wide range of drive and software bugs, limitations or shortcomings and you have an enormously powerful data recovery tool. IsoBuster is must-have-software for every PC user and is deliberately kept low priced to be able to offer a solution for everybody.

* The InnoDB Plugin is included in MySQL releases, in addition to the built-in version of InnoDB that has been included in previous releases. This version of the InnoDB Plugin is 1.0.4 and is considered of Beta quality.
* Replication: With statement-based logging (SBL), repeatedly calling statements that are unsafe for SBL caused a warning message to be written to the error log for each statement, and there was no way to disable this behavior. Now the server logs messages about statements that are unsafe for statement-based logging only if the log_warnings variable is greater than 0. (Bug#46265)
* The undocumented TRANSACTIONAL and PAGE_CHECKSUM keywords were removed from the grammar. (Bug#45829)
* Previously, SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE dumped column values without character set conversion, which could produce data files that cannot be imported without error if different columns used different character sets. A consequence of this is that mysqldump ignored the --default-character-set option if the --tab option was given (which causes SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE to be used to dump data.)
INTO OUTFILE now can be followed by a CHARACTER SET clause indicating the character set to which dumped values should be converted. Also, mysqldump adds a CHARACTER SET clause to the SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE statement used to dump data, so that --default-character-set is no longer ignored if --tab is given.
Other changes are that SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE enforces that ENCLOSED BY and ESCAPED BY arguments must be a single character, and SELECT ... INTO OUTFILE and LOAD DATA INFILE produce warnings if non-ASCII field or line separators are specified. (Bug#30946)
* The MySQL euckr character set now can store extended codes [81...FE][41..5A,61..7A,81..FE], which makes euckr compatible with the Microsoft cp949 character set.
#Bugs fixed:
* Partitioning: Attempting to create a table using an invalid or inconsistent subpartition definition caused the server to crash. An example of such a statement is shown here:
CREATE TABLE t2 (s1 INT, s2 INT)
PARTITION BY LIST (s1) SUBPARTITION BY HASH (s2) SUBPARTITIONS 1
(
PARTITION p1 VALUES IN (1),
PARTITION p2 VALUES IN (2) (SUBPARTITION p3)
);
(Bug#46354)
* Partitioning: When using a debug build of MySQL, if a query against a partitioned table having an index on one or more DOUBLE columns used that index, the server failed with an assertion. (Bug#45816)
* Partitioning: A failed RENAME TABLE operation on a table with user-defined partitioning left the table in an unusable state, due to only some of the table files having been renamed. (Bug#30102)
* Replication: When a statement that changes a non-transactional table failed, the transactional cache was flushed, causing a mismatch between the execution and logging histories. Now we avoid flushing the transactional cache unless a COMMIT or ROLLBACK is issued. (Bug#46129)
* Replication: The internal function get_master_version_and_clock() (defined in sql/slave.cc) ignored errors and passed directly when queries failed, or when queries succeeded but the result retrieved was empty. Now this function tries to reconnect the master if a query fails due to transient network problems, and to fail otherwise. The I/O thread now prints a warning if the some system variables do not exist on master (in the event the master is a very old version of MySQQL, compared to the slave.) (Bug#45214)
* Replication: When using the MIXED logging format, after creating a temporary table and performing an update that switched the logging format to ROW, the format switch persisted following the update. This prevented any subsequent DDL statements on temporary tables from being written to the binary log until the temporary table was dropped. (Bug#43046) See also Bug#40013.
This regression was introduced by Bug#20499.
* Replication: If the --log-bin-trust-function-creators option is not enabled, CREATE FUNCTION requires one of the modifiers DETERMINISTIC, NO SQL, or READS SQL DATA. When using statement-based mode, the execution of a stored function should follow the same rules; however, only functions defined with DETERMINSTIC could actually be executed. In addition, the wrong error was generated (ER_BINLOG_ROW_RBR_TO_SBR instead of ER_BINLOG_UNSAFE_ROUTINE).
Now execution of stored functions is compatible with creation in this regard; when a stored function without one of the modifiers above is executed in STATEMENT mode, the correct error is raised, and functions defined using NO SQL, READS SQL DATA, or both (that is, without using DETERMINSTIC) can be excuted. (Bug#41166)
* The test suite was missing from RPM packages. (Bug#46834)
* Incorrect index optimization could lead to incorrect results or server crashes. (Bug#46454)
* The server printed warnings at startup about adjusting the value of the max_join_size system variable. (These were harmless, but might be seen by users as significant.) (Bug#46385)
* After an error such as a table-full condition, INSERT IGNORE could cause an assertion failure for debug builds. (Bug#46075)
* An optimization that moved an item from a subquery to an outer query could cause a server crash. (Bug#46051)
* Several Valgrind warnings were corrected. (Bug#46003, Bug#46034, Bug#46042)
* CREATE TABLE ... SELECT could cause a server crash if no default database was selected. (Bug#45998)
* For problems reading SSL files during SSL initialization, the server wrote error messages to stderr rather than to the error log. (Bug#45770)
* The vendor name change from MySQL AB to Sun Microsystems, Inc. in RPM packages was not handled gracefully when upgrading MySQL using an RPM package. (Bug#45534)
* A Windows Installation using the GUI installer would fail with:
MySQL Server 5.1 Setup Wizard ended prematurely
The wizard was interrupted before MySQL Server 5.1. could be completely installed. Your system has not been modified. To complete installation at another time, please run setup again. Click Finish to exit the wizard. This was due to an step in the MSI installer that could fail to execute correctly on some environments. (Bug#45418)
* Invalid memory reads could occur using the compressed client/server protocol. (Bug#45031)
* The mysql_real_connect() C API function only attempted to connect to the first IP address returned for a hostname. This could be a problem if a hostname mapped to multiple IP address and the server was not bound to the first one returned. Now mysql_real_connect() attempts to connect to all IPv4/6 addresses that a domain name maps to. (Bug#45017)
* Invalid input could cause invalid memory reads by the parser. (Bug#45010)
* Some files in an AIX tar file distribution unpacked with incorrect permissions. (Bug#44647)
* For debug builds, executing a stored procedure as a prepared statement could sometimes cause an assertion failure. (Bug#44521)
* Using mysql_stmt_execute() to call a stored procedure could cause a server crash. (Bug#44495)
* Creating a new instance after previously removing an instance would fail to complete the installation properly because the security settings could not be applied correctly. (Bug#44428)
* mysqlslap ignored the --csv option if it was given without an argument. (Bug#44412)
* Enabling the event scheduler from within the file specified by --init-file caused a server crash. (Bug#43587)
* The server did not always check the return value of calls to the hash_init() function. (Bug#43572)
* The table cache lock (LOCK_open) is now an adaptive mutex, which should improve performance in workloads where this lock is heavily contended. (Bug#43435)
* mysqladmin --count=X --sleep=Y incorrectly delayed Y seconds after the last iteration before exiting. (Bug#42639)
* A test for stack growth failed on some platforms, leading to server crashes. (Bug#42213)
* mysqladmin did not have enough space allocated for tracking all variables when using --vertical or --relative with extended-status. (Bug#40395)
* Partitioning a log table caused a server crash. (Bug#40281)
* When using quick access methods to search for rows in UPDATE and DELETE statements, there was no check whether a fatal error had already been sent to the client while evaluating the quick condition. Consequently, a false OK (following the error) was sent to the client, causing the error to be incorrectly transformed into a warning. (Bug#40113)
* SHOW PROCESSLIST could access freed memory of a stored procedure run in a concurrent session. (Bug#38816)
* During installation on Windows, the MySQL Instance Configuration Wizard window could be opened at a size too small to be usable. (Bug#38723)
* make_binary_distribution did not always generate correct distribution names. (Bug#37808)
* The server crashed when executing a prepared statement containing a duplicated MATCH() function call in the select list and ORDER BY clause; for example, SELECT MATCH(a) AGAINST('test') FROM t1 ORDER BY MATCH(a) AGAINST('test'). (Bug#37740)
* The output of mysqldump --tab for views included a DROP TABLE statement without the IF EXISTS qualifier. (Bug#37377)
* mysql_upgrade silently ignored the --basedir and --datadir options, which it accepts for backward compatibility. Now it prints a warning. (Bug#36558)
* mysqlimport was not always compiled correctly to enable thread support, which is required for the --use-threads option. (Bug#32991)
* mysqlcheck failed to fix table names when the --fix-table-names and --all-in-1 options were both specified. (Bug#31821)
* If the MySQL server was killed without the PID file being removed, attempts to stop the server with mysql.server stop waited 900 seconds before giving up. (Bug#31785)
* When performing an installation on Windows using the GUI installer, the installer would fail to wait long enough during installation for the MySQL service to be installed, which would cause the installation to fail and may cause security settings, such as the root password to not be applied correctly. (Bug#30525)
* mysql included extra spaces at the end of some result set lines. (Bug#29622)
* The mysql client inconsistently handled NUL bytes in column data in various output formats. (Bug#28203)
* mysqlimport did not correctly quote and escape table identifiers and file names. (Bug#28071)
* When installing the Windows service, using quotes around command-line configuration parameters could cause the quotes to incorrectly placed around the entire command-line option, and not just the value. (Bug#27535)
* If the mysql client was built with the readline library and the .inputrc file mapped Space to the magic-space function, it became impossible to enter spaces. (Bug#27439)
* If InnoDB reached its limit on the number of concurrent transactions (1023), it wrote a descriptive message to the error log but returned a misleading error message to the client, or an assertion failure occurred. (Bug#18828)

AOL AIM Triton is the next generation release of AOL Instant Messenger. It is an all new user experience with an elegant, tabbed look and feel.
New 'Quicknote' feature replaces the initial IM window to provide a snapshot of known contact information about that buddy and give users three choices: launching an IM session, launching an AOL Talk session or sending a mobile text message to a cellular user.
The tabbed messaging interface helps users easily transition from text to mobile instant messaging or AOL Talk, and will eventually enable users to launch video IM sessions, share files or images and invite Buddies to play games with one click.
A new 'IM Catcher' corrals all messages into a single interface to help users effectively screen and manage their IM sessions with an unlimited number of Buddies.

Eudora is the best email program for people who get lots of email. If you're not one of those people now, you will be soon. So, take control of your email before it takes control of you. Eudora is more than a way to send and receive messages - it's a powerful email management tool with features to increase your productivity and enhance your communications.
ScamWatch combats "phishing" schemes that use disguised URL's to gather personal information. Eudora now detects if the URL in the link differs suspiciously from the host name and warns you to exercise caution before making the connection.
Version 8 of is now open source and based on Thunderbird. The Penelope project's intention is to join the Eudora? user experience with the Mozilla platform. We intend to produce a version of Eudora that is open source and based on Mozilla and Thunderbird. It's *not* our intention to compete with Thunderbird; rather, we want to complement it.
We are committed to both preserving the Eudora user experience and to maintaining maximum compatibility, for both developers and users, with Thunderbird. It is our goal to build a single development community around Thunderbird and Eudora, so that both mailers advance faster than they previously have.

Spamihilator works between your E-Mail client and the Internet and examines every incoming E-Mail. Useless spam mails (Junk) will be filtered out. This process runs completely in the background.
The new Learning Filter (Bayesian Filter) uses the rules of Thomas Bayes (English mathematician, 18th century) and calculates a certain Spam-Probability for every E-Mail. You can train this filter! So it will know your messages even better than you. Hence the recognition rate will continuously increase.
In addition Spamihilator uses a Word-Filter, that searches messages for known keywords.
Of course, Spamihilator supports Plugins. These useful additional filters protect your system against annoying spam mails.
The program works with almost every E-Mail client, such as Outlook 2000/XP/2003/Express, Eudora, Mozilla, Netscape, IncrediMail, Pegasus Mail, Phoenix Mail, Opera, etc...

At one time, web browsers simply got you to the Internet. But from the day it was released, Safari set the bar higher for web browsers. It introduced sophisticated design elements that made browsing a joy. Easy to use, Safari stayed out of your way and let you effortlessly navigate from site to site.
More browsing space: Safari is designed to emphasize the browsing, not the browser. The browser frame is a single pixel wide. You see a scroll bar only when needed. By default, there's no status bar. Instead, a progress indicator turns as your page loads. You'll find tabs at the very top of the browser, opening an even wider window for viewing websites. A great browser, Safari lets you simply enjoy the web.
Find the sites you need: Looking for a site you visited in the past but can't quite remember? Use Full History Search to quickly find sites using even the sketchiest search terms. And when you click a web page in Cover Flow, it's because you've already recognized it as the site you were looking for. No more guessing. Innovative features like these show you how good browsing can be.
Satisfy your need for speed: The world's fastest browser, Safari has speed to burn. Why should you wait for pages to load? You want to see those search results, get the latest news, check current stock prices, right now.
