[Brink]

Thank you Tornadomidair, and welcome to Seven Forums.

It shows as it being reported as unsafe when trying to download. I went ahead and allowed it to download, and the .exe file for the free one came up clean with MSE and Avast scans. I removed this program from the list to be safe though.

Thank you again.

I have used Wavepad for a few years now and have never had virus issues with it. Just FYI from an actual user.

FixWin v 1.0 is freeware portable application to repair & fix common Windows annoyances & issues. FixWin detects whether you have Windows 7 or Windows Vista installed and accordingly offers you the relevant fixes only

Repair & Fix Windows problems with FixWin Utility | The Windows Club

I think its a great utility to fix small problems

Ultimate Windows Tweaker was updated to version 2.1 on 12-Dec-09.
This is a bug fixing release and it seems to play better with Windows 7 than v2.0.

Fave Folder hotkey utility

I found that very often I was opening the same target folder for drag & drop operations. I wrote a small hotkey utility in AutoHotKey so that I can move folders to this target folder directly from the source without drag & drop. Also as a convenience you may hotkey on the desktop to just open the Fave Folder. By default the target is Documents but you may change this using the Tray Icon Menu.

The idea is to move folders with large files on the same partition via a Windows directory entry reassignment. Moving to a different partition is not prevented but unless the files are small I'd use Windows Drag & Drop or some command line copy function instead.

Also the selections for hotkey move must be folders only. Otherwise an error will be generated. For moving a mix of multiple files and folders use drag & drop. If there is an error during the move, a dialog pops up telling you which folder had the problem, then the loop continues if more than one folder was selected.

The program is a compiled AutoHotKey script. It supports any version of Windows that the latest AutoHotKey supports. If you get a warning from your av program, false positives are endemic to compiled AHK apps. Google yourself if you need reassurance.

For FIREFOX users:

I just wanna share an interesting multimedia add-on for Firefox users. Not sure, if you people already know the same. The product is COOLIRIS.

What is Cooliris?

It's simply the fastest and most stunning way to browse photos and videos from the Web or your desktop. Effortlessly scroll an infinite "3D Wall" of your content without having to click page to page, whether you'e on Facebook, Google Images, YouTube, Flickr, Picasa, Kodak Gallery, or any supported site. Or channel surf the latest news, TV episodes, movies, and music videos all from within Cooliris.

I agree Cooliris is a great free application.I've been using it for a while but only recently discovered that it works with youtube.This is great as, for example, if you want to see videos of a band or singer you can look up what you want on youtube then click the cooliris icon and you are presented with a 3D wall of videos of that artist which you can move around with mouse gestures, bring one forward and play it, if it's not great try another etc.I'm not sure as I'm not at my own pc (bad memory) but I think it also works with Chrome and Wave.Best wishes, John

AdAware versus MalwareBytes?

I use Webroot Internet Security Essentials and also MalwareBytes, Secunia Personal installed on my 3 Gig Toshiba Satellite Laptop. Should I also install AdAware free or is that too many programs for protection?

 

[Brink]

Hello BevDaBronxbabe,

It's fine to have as many anti-malware (not antivirus) programs installed as you like, but I would recommend to run them manually or only have a few running in the background all the time. Having to many running at once may slow your system down.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Iconoid at Iconoid - Hide and show desktop icons, maketransparent backgrounds you can change desktop icon text to any color & more. You need to disable drop shadows for it to work.

Edit: It took away start button I can click in the spot where it was & it still will show start menu & slows the startup 2

Re Super Anti Spyware

SUPERAntiSpyware -

WARNING: This program only works in the 64-bit Windows 7 for now. It will freeze up at the end of installation in a 32-bit Windows 7.
NOTE: After installing, you will need to use Compatibility Mode with this program's shortcut and check "Run this program as an administrator".

Just thought I would let you know that this program works perfectly on my 32 Bit Windows 7. Not one problem whatsoever.
