MacPaw Inc. has Launched a New Cleaning and Maintenance Utility for Windows - CleanMyPC

Kyiv, Ukraine (PRWEB) May 12, 2011

MacPaw Inc. has successfully launched a new Windows version of its award winning cleaning and maintenance software for Mac OS - CleanMyMac.


CleanMyPC, the long-awaited "brother" of a well-known Mac utility went live at noon, May 12th, 2011.


CleanMyPC is a new sophisticated software for Windows that is developed with the main objective of keeping a computer running right. It is designed in the most delicate way with an easy-to-use and user-friendly interface. Usually a beauty is skin deep but not in the essence of CleanMyPC. The elegance with which this utility is developed may not draw its users into misleading conclusions. Behind the ease that is first seen when launching CleanMyPC stands a very powerful and reliable utility that knows perfectly how to secure and successfully sustain its computer system.


CleanMyPC is compatible with Windows XP, Vista or Windows 7 and performs great job no matter how old a computer system is and how many applications were previously installed. This cleaning and maintenance utility it is settled to ensure sensitive data protection and its proven algorithm is designed to avoid personal or crucial system files removal ensuring documents and settings for the applications at use remain intact.


CleanMyPC?s testers were able to recover an average of 5 GB per computer by removing unnecessary files, junk and caches as well as achieving 10% to 15% speedup after using CleanMyPC.


A set of CleanMyPC?s built-in utilities that will make a computer run right, fast, clean and working like new:

Scan - CleanMyPC analyzes the hard drive to find files which might be safely removed. They are split into four categories that can be found on the left - ?Caches & Logs?, ?Help Files?, ?Extra Languages? and ?Trash & Junk?. Note, after the scan CleanMyPC awaits for the ?Clean? button to be pushed so to begin the clean.
Secure Erase - when removing files to and from Recycle Bin they can still be brought back by third party data recovery software. Yet sometimes it is needed to remove files for good - and this is where CleanMyPC?s ?Secure Erase? will come to help. Files and folders removed with ?Secure Erase? cannot be recovered. This is achieved by rewriting files with zeroes (?zero-out?) multiple times before permanently removing them from the hard drive.
Registry Maintenance - windows registry is a database that stores configuration settings and options for the Windows itself and all installed applications. Since registry is read and written by all the installed applications at the same time, as well as malware and spyware programs registry sometimes becomes cluttered or partially corrupted. This cannot be fixed manually (unless you have deep technical knowledge and experience) and we advice to let CleanMyPC?s registry maintenance utility to take care of your registry.
Autorun - while launching applications automatically with Windows is convenient some applications might do that without your knowledge and you might want to prevent them from automatically running. Removing applications from autorun manually is usually not convenient and sometimes beyond your control - Windows stores autorun data in a few places and location specific application might be tricky. CleanMyPC collects all applications which start with Windows into one simple interface - simply hover any application and click ?Disable? button to prevent it from starting with Windows. You can reenable it again in the same manner.
Gadgets and Extension Manager - Windows (and some applications) install different Gadgets and Extensions into your system. While some applications provide you with the removal options sometimes you don?t have an option to remove those you don?t need (which is especially valid for default Windows gadgets and extensions).

This is what one of the testers said about CleanMyPC:

"A must-have utility for every PC user. A flawless interface design, program structure and set of features. I absolutely rely on this utility in keeping my computer safe and sound.?

Privacyware Adds New Anti-Malware and Cybercrime Defense Features to Protect Windows PCs and Servers

New Albany, OH (PRWEB) October 11, 2011

Privacyware, an innovative provider of web application firewall, pc security and security data analytics software, announced today that it has released a new version of Privatefirewall, the leading free security software for Windows PCs. The new software features one-click control over process rights and adds new IP management and logging features that enhance protection from malware attacks, online identity theft and other forms of cybercrime.


Privatefirewall employs a multi-layered security architecture that combines a stateful Firewall, state-of-the-art Process Monitor and intelligent Host Intrusion Prevention (HIPS) technologies to identify and block Trojans, keyloggers, code injection, program hijacking and zero-day threats and prevent system compromise and theft of personal data.


The key new features and enhancements added to this Privatefirewall update include:

Limit Rights feature which allows rights to be reduced for specific applications on the fly via Process Detection Alerts or from the Privatefirewall GUI.
IP Addresses can be added to the Blocked or Trusted List directly from the Firewall log.

New control options to manage the level of logged events.

"Many Windows systems operate with Administrative rights which allow complete and unrestricted access to create, modify, and delete files, folders, and settings on that system,? said Greg Salvato, CEO of Privacyware. ?Malware has become pervasive and specifically targets systems that provide full system access and while configuration of end-user PCs to address this problem is fairly common among corporations, it?s less so among individual consumers. The latest Privatefirewall update provides a simple, one-click option to limit the rights of any process or application and significantly reduce the vulnerability to the range of serious online threats.?


Privatefirewall?s key integrated components include:

Process Monitor inspects and manages critical process functions and blocks malicious code injection and other hostile activity.
Anti-keylogger module blocks attempts by malware to record keystrokes or mouse input, read or simulate keyboard state, copy screen contents and more.
Advanced packet filtering via stateful firewall monitors all inbound and outbound communication between the PC and the Internet.
Process Detection component detects new process and blocks those classified as untrusted.
Highly configurable Application Control Engine manages precisely how applications can access the Internet.
System and email anomaly detection engines learn normal system and application use patterns to detect and block suspicious activity.

Privatefirewall provides an exceptional layer of additional protection for the Windows operating system, utilizes minimal system resources and delivers powerful out-of-box protection. Privatefirewall ranks among the top performing desktop defense applications tested against the industry's most rigorous leak, general bypass, spying and termination tests.

Literature & Latte Ltd is pleased to announce the launch of Scrivener 1.0 for Windows, available for purchase today, November 7th 2011. (http://www.scrivenerforwindows.com).


First launched for the Mac in 2007, Scrivener is an award-winning application dedicated to the structuring and composition of long texts such as novels, screenplays, reports, legal documents, theses and research documents.


Designed especially for creating first drafts of long documents by writers using multiple sources, unlike most word processors and page layout programs, Scrivener's toolset is dedicated to the creation of content rather than formatting.


Features such as split screen and the ability to import media documents including web pages, images, sound, video and PDF files allow writers to refer to research as they write, without switching between documents or programs.


Meanwhile, Scrivener's fully integrated corkboard and outliner allow users to plan ahead - or restructure their work after the first draft is finished.


A host of other tools such as statistics and targets and a name generator are also at users? fingertips.


Once completed, drafts can be printed directly from Scrivener, exported to a variety of common word processor file formats for final formatting and submission, or exported to e-book formats for self publishing.


Scrivener for Windows has been developed in response to requests from writers, academics and professionals seeking a PC-based program with the capabilities of Scrivener for the Mac.


Key features include:


Edit Multiple Documents
Split your project to create limitless documents in the same draft and edit them separately, or merge them dynamically and edit them as a whole.

Corkboard
Virtual index cards store a synopsis for every document you create. Storyboard and rearrange your project by moving these around on the corkboard.

Outline
A fully-featured outliner helps you take control of the structure of your work. Use the outliner to plan first and write later, or write first and use the outliner to make sense of that messy first draft.

Full Screen Editing
View your text in full screen for distraction-free composition.

Snapshots
Take a snapshot of a document then edit and rewrite in the confidence that you can restore an earlier revision at any time.

Collections
Create collections to keep arbitrary lists of documents and research, independent of their regular order. Track documents that need attention or use Saved Search Collections to generate automatically-updated lists of related documents.

Compile
Assemble your finished draft for printing or exporting to your favourite word processor for final formatting. Export to web or e-book formats for self-publishing. With support for footnotes and comments and the ability to reformat your work during this stage, you can produce submission-ready novel manuscripts and much more.

NOTES FOR EDITORS:


Scrivener has been enthusiastically adopted by a range of professionals including novelists, screenwriters, lawyers, journalists and academics, with bestselling novelist Michael Marshall Smith describing it as "the biggest software advance for writers since the word processor". Further testimonials can be viewed at?http://www.literatureandlatte.com/testimonials.html
