SI Ping
$0 - Pingram Software

Test communication with remote computer and check its online status over the Internet with free and visual Ping tool for Windows.

What did your mom do when you got sick being a kid? Most probably the first thing she did was giving you a thermometer to check your body heat. If you are trying to access a remote computer and are not getting a response, chances are that computer is not functioning properly. In other words, it might be sick. But how would you give a thermometer to that PC?

There is a free tool called ping.exe that comes with most versions of Windows. You can use this tool to poke the remote PC and check its response. To use ping.exe, you would typically invoke a command line, which would open a black console window, and type ping.exe followed with IP address of the computer you want to check. Usually you would get a response right in the console window in a matter of seconds. You would judge - or, rather, guess, - the remote computer's health by the cryptic numbers printed as decimal integers. If the remote computer is not available, or if the network is not available, or if some link or a piece of hardware in between you and the remote PC has failed, you'll get nothing. It is up to you to guess what and where have failed.

SI Ping, on the other hand, gives clearly legible and well formatted output by providing easy to understand and well explained numbers. It displays all the vital information, such as time to access the remote computer, in milliseconds, and allows you to ping more than one computer by simply selecting their address from a combo box. Thanks to its user-friendly, convenient user interface, SI Ping is much more convenient to use than the Windows ping.exe.

SoftInstitute releases well-designed, simple to use products that help computer users solve one particular problem. Our products are free, and typically perform just one task, such as ping, trace route, or lookup, but do it in a convenient manner.

Registry Analyst
$19.8 - Yavsoft

Does your computer's work is slow? Does your system crashes often?
The reason of those problems possibly is a system registry. Each peace of software you install writes its own info into the system registry and sometimes does not clear this information after you removed it. Your system registry grows bigger and bigger and gets filled with out-of-date information. This can cause system crashes and slowdowns.
The Registry Analyst introduces a solution to this problem.
It will analyze your system registry, will find invalid entries and will present them for your decision. You can review entries, see what software created them, and decide whether you want to remove them.
The detailed log and backup files help you to keep track on what was changed in the registry and allow you to restore all information that was removed fast and easy.

SecureSafe Pro
$32 - WinCatalog.com

If you are having problems remembering all your access passwords and logins, would like to protect yourself against identity theft and need a reliable software solution to store files with confidential information in one place safely and securely, you need to get SecureSafe Pro. Sure, it may sound like a sales push, but you'll change your mind once you try it. After all, great software sells itself. And here is why:

First, SecureSafe Pro is 100% free to download and try. Second, it uses a military-grade encryption standard approved and used by the US Department of Defense (namely AES, Advanced Encryption Standard with 256-bit key). Third, it frees you from having to remember all of your passwords and logins. They are stored in a database tree, which is very easy to search and navigate.

When you visit a site, simply click the SecureSafe Pro icon conveniently located in the system tray, enter your access password and that's it. Never check "Remember my login and password" box on websites, since this is not safe and may lead to hackers getting access to your private information, or worse yet - stealing your identity. Use SecureSafe Pro instead.

The program also includes a number of safety precautions, such as the unloading of access data if the program is left idle, and a "tough password generator" feature.

This program is not just another password keeper. You can store regular files inside the program. The program can store any file and all files can be launched from SecureSafe Pro. The files stored with SecureSafe Pro won't be visible and accessible to anybody but you. There are no limits to how many entries you can store and the program is incredibly easy to use.

If you find any solution that works better than SecureSafe Pro, let us know. But since such a program has not yet been released, we suggest you take advantage of your free SecureSafe Pro test drive.
