New and/or Updated Freeware Software Finds

Posted on 3:36 PM by Unknown

Surely, somewhere in all this linkage you can find something useful.

  • ShiftN - Freeware digital photo tool that corrects “line” convergence. Love it! More overviews of the software here:
    • Repair ‘converging line’ perspectives in photographs with ShiftN over at freewaregenius.com,
    • ShiftN: Adjust Vertical Line Distortion In Landscape/Building Photos at AddictiveTips blog.
  • ShadowExplorer - tool to browse “Shadow Copy” stores in Windows Vista/7. Lots more information on both Shadow Copies and Volume Shadow Copies below:
    • Access & Export Windows Shadow Copies According To Time - Shadow Explorer - AddictiveTIps blog
    • Ripping Volume Shadow Copies – Introduction - Journey Into Incident Response blog
    • Ripping VSCs – Practitioner Examples - Journey Into Incident Response blog
    • Ripping VSCs – Developer Method - Journey Into Incident Response blog
    • Browse Windows System Restore Points - CybernetNews blog
  • Foundstone HTML5 Local Storage Explorer - Add-on for Firefox that “…allows for viewing, modifying and deleting of data items stored in the browser's LocalStorage. LocalStorage is a client side storage technology introduced in HTML5.”
  • CRegistry Comparison - SourceForge.net. Useful utility to watch and capture differences in the registry over time or events. Spotted via AddictiveTips blog: CRegistry Comparison: See Changes To System Registry Over Certain Time
  • SMARegisTry Backup - Selective Registry Backup and Restoration Utility. Neat little program (portable) to back up and restore selective Windows Registry keys. Super-handy when pushing a set of configuration settings across systems. Spotted via AddictiveTips blog: Backup And Restore Windows Registry Hives & Keys With A Click - SMARegisTry Backup
  • Disk Investigator Info and Download page - not your standard hex/sector editor & viewer! Spotted via AddictiveTips blog: View MFT Zone, Check Raw Data Saved On Disk Sectors & Clusters - Disk Investigator
  • Screenshot Captor - by Mouser @ DonationCoder.com. I’m a Greenshot fan now but Screenshot Captor is super-hard to beat in terms of features.
    • Looking for a best-in-class screenshot capture program? ‘Screenshot Captor’ might just be it - Review via freewaregenius blog
    • LATEST VERSION INFO THREAD - ScreenshotCaptor - v3.0 (!) - DonationCoder.com
  • Sublime Text - This is an interesting text editor. The beta is free but ongoing use requires license purchase. Check out this Windows7hacker post for a feature walkthrough: Sublime Text is THE BEST Text Editor For Windows
  • AutoSensitivity - Neat utility to define different mouse speeds for both the touchpad and the physical mouse. My Dell has this problem.  Spotted via CybernetNews post: Independently Adjust Sensitivity for Mouse and Touchpad on a Laptop
  • Quickpost: Disassociating the Key From a TrueCrypt System Disk - Didier Stevens gets all super-clever!
  • VideoLAN - VLC 2.0 Twoflower - new version release of this alternative media player.
  • FreeFixer - version 0.61 released Feb 07.  This is a new (to me) general purpose utility to clean a system of unwanted software, adware, and various malware. It’s pretty interesting and updated regularly. See this extensive User's Manual for details as well as this AddictiveTips post for some more info: FreeFixer : Remove Locked Files & Apps Left Over Data, Check Viruses
  • Spybot-S&D! Version 2.0 (Beta release 5) - I haven’t used S&D for a very long time. However it always was a great go-to tool to clean a system of tracking cookies, malware, etc. So it is great to see that development continues on this legendary tool.
  • Ad-Aware Free - Likewise, you rarely could speak of Spybot S&D without mentioning its constant malware-busting/cleaning companion Ad-Aware. It also has seen considerable evolution and improvements.
  • Malwarebytes : Malwarebytes Anti-Malware Free - This product seemed to be in its infancy when Spybot and Ad-Aware roamed the lands. Now it has fully matured and stomps malware along with the best of them. I really like this program.
