Program: SpywareBlaster
Category: Security
Sub-Cat: Anti-Spyware Tool
Ware Type: Donationware
Home Page: http://www.javacoolsoftware.com/spywareblaster.html

Description from the home page:
SpywareBlaster doesn't scan and clean for spyware - it prevents it from
ever being installed.

By setting a "kill bit" for spyware ActiveX controls, SpywareBlaster can
prevent the installation of any spyware ActiveX controls from a webpage.
It does this while not interfering with "friendly" ActiveX controls - so
your browser can work correctly and you can have peace of mind!

You won't get any more annoying "Yes/No" boxes popped up, asking you to
install a spyware ActiveX control (which can increasingly be found in
pop-up ads!). In fact, Internet Explorer will never even download or run
the spyware ActiveX control!

In addition, SpywareBlaster can prevent many of these spyware ActiveX
controls from running, even if they are already installed on your
system.*

The newest SpywareBlaster version can even block spyware/tracking
cookies!
And SpywareBlaster does not need to be running in the background to
provide this protection!

The SpywareBlaster database contains information on these known spyware
Active-X controls. Make sure you run the Check For Updates feature
frequently to get the latest database! (And make sure you check the new
items to protect your system against them!)

SpywareBlaster also provides the exclusive System Snapshot! - Take a
snapshot of your computer in its clean state, and use System Snapshot
later to revert many changes made by spyware and browser hijackers!

that easy!

Extends the length of a movie or image to hold a sound track of any

Lets you select the movie size created for still image annotation -
options include the original image size, a standard movie size, or
any specified movie width and height.
Gives you full control over the movie playback size while you are
adding audio - full screen size movies can be played without any
resizing.
DubIt is a free TechSmith utility. It is available for download only,
and can not be purchased. It is not necessary to use DubIt to add
audio to Camtasia Studio movies because Camtasia Studio comes with
its own integrated audio features.

Description
Avoid clicking through several diagnostic windows to remind yourself
of important aspects of a PC's configuration, such as its name, IP
address, or operating system version? BGInfo is great for managing
multiple computers. It automatically displays relevant information
about a Windows computer on the desktop's background, such as the
computer name, IP address, service pack version, and more. You can
edit any field as well as the font and background colors, and can
place it in your startup folder so that it runs every boot, or even
configure it to display as the background for the logon screen.
- NO LOAD: BGInfo simply writes a new desktop bitmap and exits: you
don't have to worry about it consuming system resources or interfering
with other applications. There is no device driver component to
BGInfo. Run it like any Win32 program.
- ALTERNATIVES: Instead of writing a bitmap, create a popup window or
write a .RTF file. Access popup via optional tray icon.
- BACKGROUND: Select color and/or wallpaper to use for the background.
Copy existing settings of current user. This option allows end users
to personalize their desktop while still displaying the BGInfo
information.
- SUPPORTS: Multiple network cards per system. Custom information
you define. Automatic compensation for Taskbar position to ensure
that text is not obscured. Multiple monitors attached to a single
console. Multiple desktops - User Desktop wallpaper, Logon Desktop
for Console (Windows NT/2K/XP), and/or Logon Desktop for Terminal
Services (TS).
- CONFIGURATION: Control how the bitmap is produced, where it is
located, and how to import/export settings. Store configuration in a
BGInfo configuration file or a database.
