PurgeIE
$19.95 - Assistance & Resources for Computing Inc

PurgeIE helps Internet Explorer users eliminate unwanted Internet files. This superb utility provides the tools you need to cover your surfing tracks and keep Internet-related garbage from overrunning your hard drive. PurgeIE enables you to easily remove a variety of leftover files that Internet Explorer leaves in its wake when you browse the Internet.

Despite all of the bad press that Cookies have received, there are some good Cookies that contain stored passwords and preferences for Web sites you trust. These Cookies actually make your life easier. You just tell PurgeIE which ones to 'protect' and it will delete the rest. PurgeIE incorporates a Cookie Viewer with search functions to assist you in deciding which Cookies to mark for 'protection'. This allows you to quickly determine which Cookies contain your personal information.

PurgeIE now has a function to randomize Cookies datal. Using the Protect Window, one can see the applicable Security Zone and the new IE-6 'per-site' Cookie settings. Maintenance functions are implemented so that the user can easily change these settings from the Protect Window.

Cache files, Cookies, Visited URLs, Typed URLs, History Folders, Strays, Recent Links, the IE UserData folder, Recycle Bin and the Windows Temp Folder are the current categories you can choose to eliminate. For users of IE-5 and IE-6, features include clearing Previous Searches and AutoComplete Forms. You can also specify time frames to retain your more recent cache files.

PurgeIE has become quite popular among the Cache and Cookie utilities as it provides the user with several options and includes a preview function to you to evaluate the effect of each of the Purge options before their execution. PurgeIE manages its cleanup functions without requiring you to restart your system. Supports IE-5 thru IE-7 and VISTA.

A recent upgrade implements a tabbed User interface. The 15 trial days need not be contiguous.

EagleEyeOS Professional
$83.48 - EagleEyeOS LLC.

Powerful and flexible security solution against data leakage. The program provides full-scale protection, uniquely combines file lifecycle tracking with portable data stores and rights management for users and/or files. It allows you to track and enforce compliance with security policies and standards (ISO/IEC 27001:2005 (BS7799), CobIT, SOA), and provides real-time notification and post-event analysis of user activities and incidents. Supports logging and evaluating file level operations, as well as copy/paste/print actions. By creating reports, the program can not only search for and sort simple actions, but can also return exact results about actions taken on certain files, the user these actions were performed by, and the time of these actions; the results can show when, where and by whom an external data storage device was mounted, and what sort of operations were completed on it. Based on the specified settings, the program can evaluate incoming information in run-time, and can send a security alert of any operation to the security team. It supports creating isolated areas (or quarantines), which help secure confidential documents even against system administrators. It helps create a network-wide security zone, blocking the way from computers that have been added, or located outside the protected zone. Through the separation of user rights, it supports not only the segregation of operating and security tasks, but also the use of notebooks inside or outside the network; on supported operating systems, the program?s functions work on any type of file systems, applications, or hardware. The program helps prevent data loss, too. Due to their flexible structure and multilingual nature, the modules of EagleEyeOS Professional can be installed in any combinations within small organizations, as well as on wide networks of any size. It therefore provides a full-scale and comprehensive solution to network operators, security professionals, and organization managers.

BetterStreams
$59 - Jeff Pasternack

.Net library consisting of three classes for simplified asynchronous I/O (AsyncStream), using alternate data streams (AlternateStreams), and efficient stream peeking and seeking (BetterBufferedStream). BetterStreams can easily improve the performance of new or existing applications, sometimes dramatically, with as little as a single-line change to the code.

AsyncStream wraps an existing stream and provides asynchronous I/O via the standard Read(), ReadByte(), Write(), and WriteByte() methods; if called on the wrapped stream directly these would require waiting for I/O to the underlying device (such as a disk) but the AsyncStream asynchronously and automatically fills or flushes its internal buffer from or to the wrapped stream using a background thread and will never block so long as sufficient bytes are available in the buffer. Even if your application logic is already built around synchronous I/O, making it asynchronous typically requires nothing more than wrapping the original stream in an AsyncStream. AsyncStreams also provide elegant exception handling, properties for fine-tuning performance and behavior when desired, and, like BetterBufferedStreams, efficient seeking.

AlternateStreams enables you to read, write, delete, create and list alternate data streams (ADS) in an NTFS file. Under NTFS, each file has a "main" unnamed stream (this is the one the Framework's file I/O classes manipulate) as well as zero or more "alternate" named streams; for example, Internet Explorer uses an alternate stream named "Zone.Identifier" to record which security zone a downloaded file came from. Aside from conveniently storing metadata, they can also be used to create "compound storage" for application data; instead of, for example, sequentially serializing ten objects to the "main" fie stream (requiring the entire file to be rewritten if any but the last object changes) each object can be serialized to its own, individually modifiable alternate stream.
