UBCD4Win

Version: 3.12

Invaluable MUST HAVE O.S recovery suite!

Pros: There are soi many good things to say about this software. As others have said here, the program helps you to build a custom version of your windows XP with your original CD files and together with those, it creates a whole new bootable disc with lots of VERY useful tools and utilities that are amongst the best available for data recovery, hard disk diagnostics and recovery, system fixes for windows, virus removal, you can do so many things with the environment that the bootable disc gives you.

It is like this.

Once you create the new bootable disc you no longer need the program.

then...one fine day when you are using your PC...something happens. /It is a bad thing that happens.

Oh NO!" I can no longer even get into windows.

(could be the hard drive has died or could be some nefarious malware causing a low level driver issue preventing windows from booting..either way you are stuffed right?!

WRONG!

Place the bootable Disc in the drive. Restart the PC.

you will then be booted into what appears to be the usual Windows environment complete with a desktop and all the usual things like normal use of the mouse and drag n drop functionality etc etc etc.

now in the start menu you will discover a load of recovery and security programs. If you have the ability you can now start to try and diagnose the problem. If not you can at least now have the ability to browse to your usual folders and then copy and burn (it has a couple of cd burning programs built in too!) all of your precious data to disc. Or you could even just copy or move the data you do not want to lose to another Hard Drive if you have one.

the point is, it gives you another chance to access windows and either fix the problem or recover what you can before deciding you would then be going on to reinstall XP.

What a great tool.

the guy that created this should be given an award of some kind!!

Cons: I don't like the fact that I didn't think of it myself :P

Asteroid Gamer

Version: 1

Crashed within two minutes!

Pros: I love the old game of Asteroids and this has it built in...seems like a not bad representation of it too.

Cons: The game froze after about two minutes of play.

Very poor considering its a smal flash game.

Rubbish.

Badongo Buddy

Version: 3.3

READ THE EULA!! Privacy issues!

Pros: I like these free file hosting companies and, anything that helps my site visitors to download the odd file is great.. This seems like a brilliant idea, a program to download direct from badongo which, IMO, is one of the better free hosting sites out there. So for the idea, 10/10.

Unfortunately the reality may not be quite so brilliant...

Cons: I decided to read the full EULA while installing this as you usually don't get anything for 'free'.

As it turns out, it seems I was right to be cautious.

I copy & paste the following directly from the License Agreement:

You hereby grant Company permission to collect and store information of Your Internet usage habit, including but not limited to information about every web page You view with the full Uniform Resource Locators, and the content of web page. You understand and accept that Uniform Resource Locators and the content of web pages You view may include Your personally identifiable information. Company may at times ask you for Your personally identifiable information, such as name, address, email address, zip code, telephone number. You hereby grant Company permission to distribute all information as set forth in Company's Privacy Policy, as well as Your non-personally identifiable information, to our partners, agents, and/or any third party in Company's sole and absolute discretion without further notice to You.

6.4 You acknowledge that You understand that third party software may be installed in the Software and hereby agree that Company shall not be liable to anyone, including You, with respect to any damages resulting from such third party software.

---

Did that just say we will take ALL your PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE information as well as any other information from your PC, including the adresses of every web site? and then it actually said..we have the right to give or sell all of this information to anyone we wish?

Yep, it sure did.

I will be blocking this softare via whatever way it tries to connect with wherever it tries to connect to but if you don't know what you are doing, leave this well alone!

FLASH Game

Pros: I don't li,ke this game.

At least theres no install..just click the exe file and play.

Cons: I was expecting this to be simple but I really didn't expect a flash based game that looks like it might be playing from a webpage.

There is no sound.
