IObit has released Advanced SystemCare 6 FREE, a brand new version of its freeware optimisation tool. Version 6.0 debuts a new, streamlined interface, and comes with full support for the RTM version of Windows 8. ASC 6 Free, which is also available in Pro form with additional functionality, also updates its Surfing Protection, Driver Manager and Privacy Sweep databases, adds support for additional languages and provides unspecified general bug fixes. ASC 6 Free looks visibly different to the previous version thanks to a redesigned and streamlined user interface, particularly in Simplified Mode, which is aimed at less experienced users. Among the interface improvements are smaller icons for the various tools provided under Care and Toolbox tabs, allowing them all to be displayed on one screen. The user then hovers the mouse over a tool to find out more about it before clicking to launch it. ASC 6 Free debuts a streamlined user interface for quicker, easier navigation. Version 6 also provides updated databases for its Surfing Protection, Driver Manager and Privacy Sweep tools, which should provide better protection and security than previous versions. It’s also the first build to come with full support for Windows 8, just two weeks ahead of its general release. ASC 6 Free rounds off the update with additional language support, plus a slew of unspecified general bug fixes. The final release comes just over two months after it entered beta. IObit Advanced SystemCare 6.0.7.160 FREE is a freeware download for PCs running Windows XP or later. A single year's Pro license with additional features, including deeper scans, automatic updates and anti-malware protection is also available for as little as $9.95 through the Downloadcrew Software Store, a saving of 50 per cent on the MSRP.

The cloud is now used for many things, from simply storing documents, to create and editing files online. Google Play, in addition to many other things, offers a place to store up to 20,000 tracks which can then be listened to online or with a range of mobile devices. This number relates only to songs from your ‘personal collection’ and is in addition to any purchases you make. Google Play Music Manager is the tool you need to get everything up and running. Install and launch the app, sign into your Google account and you’ll be asked where you current music collection is stored. There is support for iTunes and Windows Media Player, but there’s also the option of just opting to work with files stored in My Music, or any other folder for that matter. If you have your music scattered across multiple folders, you can add them all to your Google library. Google Play Music Manager Once your library has been created, you can opt to have any new files that you add to these folders automatically uploaded. This ensures that you always have access to all of your most recently ripped CDs and other music acquisitions without the need to remember to manually sync anything. Even if you have a relatively small music collection of just a few hundred tracks or so, you’re possibly envisioning a very lengthy wait while all of your music is uploaded for you. Well, unless you have particularly eclectic tastes, you should find that things happen much faster than you might expect – if Google already has a copy of a track you own available online, there’s no need for it to be uploaded. In practice, however, just how long it takes for your collection to be made available online will depend on its size, the types of music you like, whether your music files are ripped or purchased as well as the speed of your internet connection. The web interface for the music player is comparable to an online version of iTunes. It is a little limited, but it gets the job done. You can create playlists, listen to albums in their entirety or pick out individual tracks. In addition to the usual browse by album option, a large library can also be searched or you can filter tracks by artist, genre or alphabetize them. Google Play Music Manager is available free of charge for Windows, OS X and Linux.

Windows software management is a tedious business. If you want to download a particular program, you have to find the relevant website, then the download link, save the file locally, grab any other components the program might need, and install everything in the right order. You'll need to start again for every new program. And they'll all have their own procedures for updating, or uninstalling. What if you could automate all of this, though? Manage downloads, updates and everything else, just with a few keypresses? That's the aim of Chocolatey, a tool which brings Linux-like package management to the PC. The program comes in the form of a PowerShell-based command line tool. And yes, we know, that's less than ideal, but don't let it put you off just yet. Chocolately doesn't require any PowerShell knowledge to use; if you use the command line occasionally then you'll be able to try out. Getting started is simple, as there's nothing for you to download. Just paste the text below into a command prompt (copy it to the clipboard, launch cmd.exe, right-click in the window, select Paste) and press Enter. @powershell -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Command "iex ((new-object net.webclient).DownloadString('http://chocolatey.org/install.ps1′))" && SET PATH=%PATH%;%systemdrive%\chocolatey\bin The Chocolatey code should download automatically, while status messages keep you up-to-date with the installation process. And when it's done, close and reopen the command window and you're ready to go. Don't be put off by the command line approach - Chocolatey is still easy to use Installing programs is now as simple as using the "cinst" command. Would you like a copy of Skype, for instance? Type "cinst skype" (less the quotes), press Enter, and Chocolatey will handle the rest. Or try "cinst keepas" to install KeePass Password Manager, "cinst procexp" for Process Explorer, "cinst gimp" for the GIMP image editor, and more. (Enter "clist" at the command line for the full list of packages, or use "clist | clip" to copy the list to the clipboard). This isn't just a matter of downloading an installation file and leaving you to do the rest, either. If a program needs something else installing before it'll work, Chocolatey will grab that first. And as long as the application allows it, installation is silent - there's no working your way through some tedious setup program. Better still, Chocolatey can also handle updates for you. So if you need the latest version of Firefox, just enter "chocolatey update firefox" (or "cup firefox" for short) and it'll be downloaded and installed. Or, if you really want to save time, using "cup all" will check everything you've installed via Chocolatey and update it to the latest version. Plainly the command line approach here is still a hassle, but the key is that it's scriptable, and that brings some very interesting opportunities. If you want to set up a PC to your specifications, then you could create a batch file with the appropriate "cinst" commands (as you've seen, they're not exactly complicated). Once Chocolatey is installed on the target system, run the batch file and all the programs you need will be downloaded and installed. Add another shortcut to run updates - or maybe a batch file which you have Task Scheduler run once a day - and suddenly your software maintenance has become a whole lot easier.

The threat from viruses and malware is one that not only continues, but shows no signs of slowly down. The need for protective software has not gone away, and what could be better than install an anti-malware tool to help keep yourself safe? How about a security tool that boasts not one but two scanning engines? Take a look at Emsisoft Anti-Malware 7 - in addition to Emsisoft’s own malware scanner, there is now a new second scanning engine from BitDefender. There is a strong focus on performance with this release. Emsisoft has optimized its own scanning engine, and new settings have been added that enable users to configure how the software should make use of processors. What this amounts to is being able to choose how many cores should be used to run the scanner as well as increasing or decreasing the number of active threads, increasing program priority and making use of advanced caching techniques to help speed things up. Emsisoft Anti-Malware 7 Emsisoft aims to ensure that users are protected against threats as soon as possible by offering hourly updates. While definition updates tend to be fairly small anyway, this is being billed as a way of speeding up protection by breaking down updates into smaller incremental downloads. As is now the norm, there is an online network through which users statistics are shared to allow for better malware definitions and advice to be provided. Experienced users will know very much what to expect from the program, but newcomers are politely guided through the process of checking for and fixing problems and then activating the settings that will provide on-going protection against malware, malicious web sites  and even unknown threats. You can find out more and download a free trial of the program by paying a visit to the Emsisoft Anti-Malware 7 review page.

Once upon a time the notion of having access to a free image-editing tool that rivalled commercial packages was nonsensical. If you wanted to edit your photos, you had to pay for the privilege. The GIMP was one of the first to break this mold, but despite a powerful feature set it can be off-putting to the beginner. In recent years Paint.NET has made a powerful case of being the best free image-editing tool for Windows, boasting powerful features and a relatively accessible interface. But now there’s a new kid in town, a tool that resembles Paint.NET but adds some clever features of its own. A tool that once cost money, but is now free. That image editor is PixBuilder Studio. As its name implies, Paint.NET requires the .NET Framework runtime to be installed before you can use it. There’s no such requirement with PixBuilder Studio, which is crammed into a tiny 2.98MB download, and in fact its current build – 2.0.3 – introduces an option to install it as a portable application, so you can add it to your USB thumbdrive toolkit. Once the program fires up for the first time, its interface feels familiar, thanks to the fact it apes other image editors like Paint.NET and earlier versions of Photoshop. The toolset is comparable to Paint.NET, although there are some useful extras, including a healing brush, full-blown text editor and measurement tool, that you won’t find in Paint.NET. PixBuilder Studio also boasts a collection of handy panels, which are pinned to the right of the program window by default, but which can be detached as floating panes or pinned to another edge. These panels include layers, zoom, channels, tool (which changes according to the currently selected tool) and undo. There’s also a handy browser panel that sits at the bottom of the screen, making it easy to select multiple images from the same folder. If there’s any criticism of PixBuilder Studio, it’s the disappointing number of built-in effects and filters it possesses. Yes, it supports 8BF filter plug-ins, which are widely supported thanks to the fact they’re almost universal thanks to compatibility with Photoshop, Paint.NET and others, but it still adds unnecessary hassle in having to track down those useful filters in the first place. Despite this niggle – and especially considering it’s free and can be roadtested as a portable application – we heartily recommend you give PixBuilder Studio 2.0.3 a try. Its tiny 3MB download runs on Windows XP, Vista and 7.

Anyone who has worked with a dual monitor setup will be aware of just what a productivity boost the extra screen space can be. The ability to have more than one application visible in full screen mode enables you to view more information at any one time is incredibly useful and it something that everyone should try. But whether you have a couple of monitors sitting on your desk or not, ScreenSlider enables you to gain a little extra space using your Android device. The app can be used with either tablets or phones, and while both are useful options, tablet owners undoubtedly get a better deal thanks to their larger screens. ScreenSlider simply requires that you install the free app on your Android device as well as the desktop software on your PC and the software will then automatically detect your phone or tablet over your wireless network from your computer. You can drop any program window onto the display and take advantage of it whilst sat at your desk or move further afield – providing you stay within range of your network. Performance is not high enough to allow for your new wireless monitor to be used to stream video from your computer but it is useful for housing your web browser or inbox. The cheaper version of the app is slightly limited, but the installation does include a 30 day trial of the extra features that are to be found in the Pro version, including pinch-to-zoom gesture support, the ability to use the Android keyboard to enter text as well as the handy ability to transfer files between your computer and Android device. It’s a shame to see that there is no support for Mac users at the moment, but hopefully this is something that will be addressed in the future. As it stands, ScreenSlider is an interesting utility. Android phone users are unlikely to find that the extra two or three inches of screen space can be put to much use, but tablet owners will find that they already have a second or third monitor in their possession, and this is screen space that can be genuinely useful. You can find out more and download a free copy of the app by paying a visit to the ScreenSlider review page.

It really doesn't seem that long since Norton Internet Security 2010 made its first appearance, but eager to show us what's coming next, Symantec have released a public preview of the 2011 edition. And even though the finished version won't be available for perhaps another 5 months, it's already looking very impressive with some interesting new additions. The antivirus engine, for instance, extends its current file, folder, quick and full system scans with the new Reputation Scan. This checks your files against Norton's Insight database, then displays information about them: how "trusted" a file is, when Insight first recorded it, how common it is amongst other Norton users, and so on. While none of this can conclusively establish that a file is dangerous, if you suspect an infection already then it could be very helpful. A few clicks with show you files that are new, uncommon and with a low trust rating, perhaps pointing you in the right direction. Regular antivirus scans also have a new addition, with their final reports including an additional message: "if you think there are still [undetected] risks, click here". The link leads to a download page for Norton Power Eraser, which uses more aggressive methods to detect and remove tricky malware. Unfortunately this increases the chance of the program misidentifying legitimate software as threats, but you get the final decision over what's removed, so as long as you're careful it's still a positive step forward. Web monitoring Accurate antivirus scanning is vital. But strong web monitoring and real-time protection technologies are, if anything, even more important, as they'll help to prevent you from becoming infected in the first place. And so it's good to see Norton Internet Security 2011 extending its monitoring capabilities further than ever before. Download Insight, for instance, is Symantec's scheme for checking the files you access online. When a file is downloaded, Norton Internet Security 2011 will interrogate an online database to determine its reputation, and warn you or remove the file completely if it's known to be dangerous. In the last version of Norton Internet Security, you were only protected against downloads made via IE and Firefox. In 2011, though, the scheme will protect you regardless of how the file is delivered: by all the main browsers, email clients and instant messaging tools. It'll allow Symantec to gather much more information, much more quickly, and as a result all Norton 2011 users will be better protected. The Download Insight improvements will feed into other areas, too. Its "reputation" figure is used to calculate the trust rating displayed in the new Reputation scan, for example, so that should become even more useful when there's a large number of people using it. Elsewhere, Norton Safe Web continues to annotate your Google, Bing and Yahoo! search results with safety and e-commerce ratings, so you're able to spot potentially dangerous sites before clicking their links. And a separate tool, the Norton Safe Web application for Facebook, does a similar job with your Facebook news stream, scanning it for malicious URLs and alerting you to any concerns. Currently this is available as a Facebook application only, but this means you must manually run it occasionally to check for risks. It's easy to imagine the technology being integrated into Norton Internet Security, perhaps automating the checking process so you catch dangerous links earlier. Performance alerts Symantec applications are often criticised for being resource hogs, but while there may have been some truth to this, long ago, this certainly doesn't apply any more. The company have worked hard to optimise their technologies, and while they don't have most lightweight of tools, they'll have less performance impact on your PC than many of the competition. Pop-up alerts warn you of resource-hungry programs There's no need to take our word for it, though, because Norton 2011 now includes a performance monitor that tracks exactly how your CPU and RAM is being used at any one time. If your PC has seemed slow in the last few minutes, just switch to the Performance module and look at the graphs. Click a moment of peak use on the CPU chart, say, and Norton will display the 3 programs that were making the greatest use of your processor at that moment. And that's not all. Norton 2011 also keeps an eye on processes that are consuming more than their share share of resources, and will display a pop-up alert to warn you about persistent offenders: we had one complaining of high levels of disk activity from the Windows Search Indexer, for instance. All these alerts are logged for review later. This really is a clever addition to Norton 2011. After all, it's already monitoring what your applications are doing, so collecting a little performance data as well will add minimal overheads. The feature will then show that Norton 2011 probably isn't slowing you down. Even better, it'll do a very good job of highlighting what is, giving you a chance to deal with the problem by tweaking, updating or removing the resource-hungry app. And as an end result, Norton Internet Security 2011 may actually help to speed up some PCs. Many features While we've concentrated on the major new additions here, Norton Internet Security 2011 does of course have plenty of other features on offer. An excellent antispam filter integrates with Outlook 2002/ 2003/ 2007/ 2010, Outlook Express 6.0 or later and Windows Mail, for instance. It uses whitelist, blacklist and its own spam definitions, and in our tests typically detected around 80% of junk mail while only very rarely blocking legitimate messages. The Smart Firewall is highly configurable The firewall is impressive, allowing all known safe web apps online without any hassle, and only displaying alerts when it detects genuinely unusual behaviour. It's also very configurable, once you've found the right settings (an interface quirk or two meant that took us a moment). The Web Protection feature stores logins, credit card details and other personal information in a password-protected database. These then won't be visible to anyone who gets access to your PC. And you can have the program enter these details for you at websites, bypassing any keyloggers that might be on the system. And a Network Security Map alerts you to security problems like unencrypted wireless connections, displays the status of other Norton-protected PCs on your network, and shows you a map of network hardware that makes it easy to detect unidentified devices. Despite the beta tag, all features appeared to be functional and working as expected. And best of all, there's none of the bloat we might expect from an early release. The core Symantec Service Frameworks required about 18MB of RAM (private working set) when running in the background, peaking at around 90MB when running a scan - Norton Internet Security 2011 is already efficient, and there may be more improvements to come.

The Document Foundation has released LibreOffice 3.4.1, a landmark update for its open-source, multi-platform office application. With its release, LibreOffice 3.4.1 is now the recommended build for all users except large enterprises, thanks to the bug fixes and improved stability that provide the focus of the release. LibreOffice is an off-shoot of the OpenOffice project, development of which has stalled since many developers switched across to LibreOffice when it was launched in September, 2010. At the present time, there are two versions of LibreOffice available: an older 3.3.3 build for enterprise users, plus the recently released 3.4.1 build for all other users. Enterprise users are asked to hold off deploying a 3.4.x build until version 3.4.2 is released at the end of the month. LibreOffice 3.4.1 is purely a maintenance release, with no new features. However, users who are switching to the 3.4.x build from version 3.3.x, will find a number of a new features that were introduced in version 3.4, which are detailed at the LibreOffice website. These include improved compatibility with Excel spreadsheets in Calc, renamed Data Pilot component (now called PivotTable) and improved HTML export options in Impress and Draw applications. LibreOffice 3.4.1 is a free and open-source download for Windows, Mac and Linux.

So, you’ve made your choice between Mac and PC, and have decided that OS X is the operating system for you. But whatever personal choice you may have made, there are various reasons why you might need to turn to Windows software from time to time. While it is less common with big-name software these days, there are still numerous titles that are not available for OS X. If your work requires you to use such a program, PlayOnMac could be just what you have been looking for. Working much like the likes of Wine – in fact the software is based on Wine - this is an emulation tool that enables you to run Windows software on your Mac. This is not a unique piece of software by any means, but PlayOnMac has been designed to be easier to use than Wine, and it does not have a price tag like the comparable Parallels does. PlayOnMac While it is possible to simply copy any Windows executable to your Mac, or download them, and test it to see if it will work, if you’re looking for guaranteed results, it is a better idea to browse through the apps list of supported software. By installing software from this list you are not necessarily going to find that a particular app or game will run perfectly at top speed, but it should at least be largely problem free. The range of supported programs is fairly wide, but it is not exhaustive. Performance issues, particularly with any software that is heavily dependent on graphics – such as games – are not unknown, but PlayOnMac still acts has a handy, wallet-friendly solution to a problem that faces many Mac users who have made the transition from Windows to OS X. You can find out more and download a free copy of the app by paying a visit to the PlayOnMac review page.

Conventional antivirus tools are fine when they're pitted against established threats, well-known malware with a match in their signature database. If you've been hit by something new, though, you may need to go hunting for the culprit manually - and FreeFixer is an excellent tool to help you along the way. Launch a scan with the program and it'll examine 39 key areas which may contain signs of malware. These include Browser Help Objects, your HOSTS file, AppInit_DLLs, Windows services, Namespace service providers, shell extensions, running processes, Winlogon modules, Firefox extensions, and more. In theory this could obviously result in a very lengthy list of files, but FreeFixer helps out here in a couple of ways. Critical Windows system files aren't included in the report, and files from trusted vendors (Apple, Microsoft, top antivirus companies and more) are displayed, but with a green background to mark them as safe. With sometimes dramatic results. In the Services section of our test PC, for instance, 43 services were whitelisted and could be safely ignored, leaving only 9 for us to check manually. There were similar results elsewhere - 33 running processes were whitelisted, leaving 9 "unknowns" - and it's clear that if you are hunting for malicious software on a PC, FreeFixer could save you a great deal of time. "Trusted" files are highlighted in green, making it easy to concentrate on the most likely potential threats Ultimately, though, it will be up to you to browse the remaining files and decide if any should be removed. While this is easy enough to do - just check the box to their left and click the "Fix" button - you could obviously cause all kinds of problems if you delete something legitimate, and this really isn't something you should be trying unless you've a complete system backup to hand. Of course this isn't a problem specific to FreeFixer, though: any general malware removal tool has its potential risks. If anything, FreeFixer minimises them by removing so many whitelisted files from its report, reducing the chance that you'll make a mistake. And even if the program can't uncover the specific malware executables, it has some bonus features which you may find helpful. One of its sections lists "recently created or modified files", for example, perhaps highlighting hidden file system activity. Another will detect and fix some HOSTS file issues. And the program can even list and undo system policies sometimes used by malware to make their removal more difficult (preventing you launching REGEDIT, for instance). There's no magic solution here, then. FreeFixer can't precisely identify malware, spyware or anything else. You'll need to spend some time working through its reports to see if you're likely to have a problem. And it's removal tools aren't particularly strong. If you believe a PC is infected by something nasty and would like to investigate further, though, FreeFixer can greatly speed up the research process, and on balance it'll make a great addition to any geek's security toolkit.

CyberLink has many years experience with video, but none at all with photo editing, and so you might have expected the company's first digital imaging product to be a little on the basic side. But you'd be wrong. PhotoDirector 2011 isn't another standard editor. Rather, it's a high-end photo management and workflow app which bears a strong resemblance to Adobe's Lightroom, and is similarly packed with professional features. Open the program, for instance, and you'll find the workflow is clearly defined into three stages. The first, "Library", is where you import and organise your images; the "Adjustment" section allows you to enhance, improve, and generally get more from them, while the final "Slideshow" module helps you to share them with the world. The initial photo import process is quick and easy, while also delivering more functionality than we'd expected. So you're not just choosing a few JPEGs which will then appear in a list. PhotoDirector has good support for a host of RAW formats (particularly Canon and Nikon); can also exclude possible duplicates from your selected images; is able to copy the chosen photos to a folder you specify; and can even organise these into subfolders according to the date they were taken. Once your photos are imported then a highly configurable browser makes it straightforward to locate the images you need. This can display your collection with thumbnails or text details (including file name, capture date and other metadata). You're able to view one, two, or your selected images side-by-side for quick comparisons, or view any photo full-screen at a click. And if that's not enough, you can also filter your photos by various flags, or by whatever combination of criteria you choose: file or folder name, camera, capture date, shutter speed, ISO speed rating and more. Other options are a little more limited. Text tagging is fairly basic, for instance, and while you can display image metadata, PhotoDirector only allows you to edit the copyright tag. Still, on balance the Library provides an intuitive interface which makes it easy to organise your images and zoom in on any of particular interest. Photo corrections If you spot an image that isn't up to your usual standards, then clicking the Adjustment button will allow you to apply corrections, either manually or via built-in one-click presets. The manual section provides a Lightroom-like pane, packed with sliders, where you can tweak white balance, tone, brightness, contrast, saturation, levels, HSL and more. You also get good quality sharpening and noise reduction tools, effective vignetting effect and vignette removal options, and of course the ability to crop or rotate an image as necessary. But perhaps most useful are the "Regional Adjustment Tools", a smarter set of options which deliver finer control over the tweaks on offer. Spot Removal and Red-Eye tools deliver great results (and again bear a strong resemblance to Lightroom); a very configurable Adjustment Brush (with an accurate "fit to edges" option) allows you to restrict corrections to the area you define; and the excellent Gradient Mask can apply your tweaks gradually across a large area of the photo. Or if that all sounds too much like hard work, just click the Presets tab and you'll find a selection of built-in corrections which you can apply at a click: "Scenery - Blue skies", "People - Soft skin tone", "B&W - Warm", or whatever it might be. (Other presets are available for download, or you can create new ones of your own.) But if you make a mistake, don't worry, it's easy to fix - and not just via Undo. An "Adjustment History" dialog shows all the changes you've made to a photo, and you can revert to any of the previous versions at a click. What you won't get here, though, are high-end tools like Lightroom's Lens Corrections, Camera Calibration or export plugins. PhotoDirector does provide a capable feature set which goes well beyond the basics, though, so don't let that put you off: the program may still provide just about everything you need. Slideshow When you need to share a photo or two right away then PhotoDirector can help; in just a click or two you can have any selected images uploaded to your Flickr or Facebook accounts. Clicking the Slideshow buttons provides more powerful sharing options, though. Drag and drop a few images onto the work area and you're able to add text captions, define background music and transition effects (if only from a selection of three), and choose the duration each slide will be displayed. And when you're done, the images may be exported as a complete slideshow. PhotoDirector doesn't have Lightroom's JPEG or PDF Slideshow options, it's video only, but this works well. The program can export videos in three formats (H.264/AVC, MPEG-4, WMV) and multiple resolutions up to 1080p, or you can upload directly to your YouTube account: just like most of the rest of PhotoDirector 2011, it's all very convenient and easy to use.

Cloud storage providers Dropbox and Microsoft SkyDrive have both released minor maintenance updates for their desktop applications. Both Dropbox 2.0.2 and the Windows version of Microsoft SkyDrive 2013 v17.0.2006.0314 are minor maintenance releases with no new features. Both updates are the first since major releases – Dropbox 2.0 introduced a new sharing-friendly user interface, while SkyDrive 17.0 allowed users to selectively sync folders and sub-folders to specific devices. Platform-specific fixes for Dropbox 2.0.2 on both Windows and Mac centre around the new menu. For Windows users, one bug preventing the pop-up tray appearing at all has been squashed alongside another that “broke” the menu when the user pressed [Alt] + [F4]. A third bug fix ensures the pop-up menu is positioned correctly on-screen even after the user changes display resolution. Dropbox 2.0.2 follows less than a week after the release of version 2.0. In OS X, fixes for similar issues with the dropdown menu have been implemented, including an issue when plugging in an external monitor as well as another that meant the menu didn’t appear if Dropbox’s Login Item was set to Hide. Another bug fixes include one that affected the Camera Uploads feature in Windows, as well as a platform-wide issue whereby a notification’s time label was incorrect. The update is rounded off by a number of unspecified performance improvements and further bug fixes. Also released is Microsoft SkyDrive 2013 build 17.0.2006.0314 for Windows users. The update comes with no release notes, but is the first update of the 2013 release that debuted last November, so is likely a maintenance release, fixing bugs discovered since version 17.0 made its first appearance. In addition to introducing selective sync, version 17 also made it possible to share items direct from the OS X or Windows context menu. Dropbox 2.0.2 is a freeware download for Windows, Mac and Linux. Microsoft SkyDrive 2013 v17.0.2006.0314 is available as a freeware download for Windows and Mac. Also available is a dedicated Dropbox for Windows 8 app; the SkyDrive app is built into the OS.

It's taken a little longer than we were expecting, but Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition is now available in an English language version. And if what you most want for Christmas is a lightweight and very simple antivirus tool, then this could be very good news indeed. The program offers a reasonable core feature set, with basic real-time protection, simple on-demand scanning (right-click any file or folder in Explorer for a "Scan with Bitdefender" option), and system scans which will run automatically when your system is idle. But the main focus has been on ease of use, and here Bitdefender Antivirus Free does very well. It has no bulky desktop gadgets, no complex console or multi-tabbed Settings dialog. You won't even see any alerts, because the program resolves any issues itself - you won't be hassled. There are very few configuration options, but this does at least keep the program extremely simple to use And so while Bitdefender Antivirus Free does have an interface, it's very much stripped back when compared to other antivirus clients. Click its system tray icon and you'll find buttons to toggle your real-time protection and automatic scanning on and off, for instance; you can view the program's logs, or log in to your My Bitdefender account, if you have one (it's not compulsory); but that's about it. This lack of configurability may be an issue for some, but it has obvious advantages, and not just in terms of simplicity. Bitdefender Antivirus Free is also very lightweight, typically using little more than 20MB RAM, and the program had no significant impact on our overall system performance. There are small issues, too. We're unsure how compatible the program will be with other security tools, for instance (it asked us to remove an "incompatible" product, Norton Internet Security, although appeared to still work correctly when we didn't). And for some reason its status always seemed to be displayed as "updating". We'd like to see it change to "updated" or "up-to-date", if only occasionally, just as reassurance. These are early days for the product, though. Bitdefender will most probably iron out any wrinkles before long, and even now Bitdefender Antivirus Free Edition is an excellent tool, offering a good set of core functions while remaining exceptionally easy to use.

Adobe has announced the Acrobat X family of products. Available for download next month, these will include Adobe Reader X, Acrobat X Suite, Acrobat X Pro and Acrobat X Standard. PDF-based malware has been an ever-increasing threat for some time, so it's no surprise to see the new Adobe Reader X focus strongly on security. And top of the list is a new Protected Mode, enabled by default, which imposes strict limits on what a PDF file can do. Acrobat Reader X will make it much more difficult for a malicious PDF file to engage in potentially dangerous practices like launching attachments, for instance, changing Registry keys, or writing files to your temporary directory. Adobe say their technology is similar to the Google Chrome sandbox and Microsoft Office 2010 Protected Viewing Mode, and that it will work with all Windows versions from XP onwards. Adobe has also revealed that the new Acrobat Reader X will support the embedding of many more content types: emails, spreadsheets, drawings, videos and other multimedia files. You'll be able to annotate PDF documents with their Sticky Notes and Highlighter tools. And new Acrobat Reader X versions for Android, Windows Phone 7 and Blackberry Tablet OS will make it easier to access PDF files, wherever you might be. New Adobe services also launched next month will include CreatePDF, which allows you to create a PDF file online, and SendNow, which will send PDF documents that are too large to email. And if you need to create PDF files then you'll find Acrobat X gains new features like PDF Portfolios, which combines multiple file types into a single presentation; Actions help automate common tasks to prepare and publish multiple documents quicker than ever; and high quality export to Word and Excel makes it easy to share and re-use your document content.

Jealous of some of those Mac desktop widgets – the sort that tell the time, provide a weather forecast and so on? Uninspired by the equivalent Windows gadgets as found in the Windows Sidebar? Kludget Engine may offer just the solution – it’s capable of allowing you to run selected widgets designed for the Mac OS on your Windows desktop, and the first stable version of the program has been released after roughly a year in beta. Widgets are small standalone applications that are designed to run directly from the desktop or within a specific window, sidebar or parent application. Kludget Engine is yet another example of a third-party Windows application that extends this functionality to Windows – Vista and Windows 7 users have the built-in Windows Sidebar, plus there are options from Yahoo! and the Desktop Sidebar, which runs in older versions of Windows. What makes the Kludget Engine stand apart from other similar tools is that it doesn’t add its own widget standard to the mix, but provides support for widgets found in both Mac OS and the Opera web browser, enabling the end user to access them from the desktop. It’s not 100 per cent compatible, sadly: many Mac OS widgets, particularly those providing some form of interactivity – won’t work. Download the “stock” widgets – those bundled with Mac OS – from the Kludget website and then visit the Apple Widgets site to try your luck with other widgets. Kludget Engine 1.0 runs on Windows 2000, XP, Vista and 7.

Ahead of its official unveiling, Mozilla has made Firefox 16 FINAL available for download. The latest version provides little in the way of major new features, and in some ways is more noteworthy for the features missing from this release, including the long-awaited inline PDF viewer (click here to find out how to switch it on manually) as well as a number of OS X Lion/Mountain Lion enhancements. What is present in version 16 is initial desktop support for web apps, VoiceOver accessibility features for OS X, extra developer tools and enhanced garbage collection performance to prevent freezes and performance lags. Firefox 16 FINAL’s headline new feature is its implementation of web app support for all desktop platforms. This feature has already been implemented in rival browser Google Chrome, and will allow users to install web apps directly to the desktop, allowing them to be run independently of Firefox itself. While initial support has been implemented, users will have to wait until the launch of the Mozilla Marketplace, currently under development. The Developer Toolbar is the only noticeable new feature in Firefox 16. The only performance tweak in Firefox 16 is the implementation of incremental garbage collection. This should make the browser more responsive by running the garbage collector for shorter, faster bursts and should resolve issues where users complained of performance lag while the garbage collector was cleaning up in the background. Version 16 also includes a number of developer enhancements, including a new Developer Toolbar. This provides quick access to developer tools, a graphical command line interface for convenient keyboard access and an error count for the Web Console. Other improvements for developers include the implementation of a recently opened files list in the Scratchpad, plus the unprefixing of several stable CSS3 features, namely animations, transitions, transforms and gradients. Mac users with accessibility needs will be pleased to learn that preliminary support for VoiceOver is now turned on by default, Firefox providing audio prompts for menus and the Address bar among other page elements. Sadly, other planned OS X Lion/Mountain Lion enhancements appear to have missed the cut for version 16, which has led to some criticism from frustrated Firefox users. Another omission is the inline PDF viewer, which still hasn’t been switched on by default – you can do this manually by following our guide. Firefox 16 FINAL is a free, open-source download for Windows, Mac and Linux. Once the Beta, Aurora and Nightly channels are updated – with promised improvements such as a panel-based downloads manager and redesigned tabs on the horizon – we’ll reveal what to look out for in future releases.

Review: Laplink PCmover Professional 6

The delivery of a new PC should be exciting. The promise of a faster CPU, more RAM maybe, and all that extra hard drive space could make a real difference to your applications, after all. But of course there's a problem: you'll have to reinstall everything on the new system, before you can begin to enjoy it. So that means digging out all your installation CDs. Finding the relevant registration codes. Carrying out each installation. And then spending even longer reinstalling updates, locating add-ons and extensions, transferring data files, and making sure each application's settings are exactly as you require. It's a potential nightmare that could drag on at some level for months - unless you consider a possible alternative. Laplink PCmover Professional 6 is able to examine your old PC, and detect its installed applications, data files, settings and more. You're able to choose exactly what you'd like to transfer. And then the program will migrate your selected software, data and configuration to the new system, either directly (over your network) or via an external hard drive. This takes a while, but for the most part it's an automated process: leave it running overnight and you can wake up to a new PC. This isn't quite as perfect as it sounds - understandably, there are some things PCmover can't do. You can't migrate programs that appear on both PCs, for instance, even in a trial form, so you must remove any bundled version of Office on the new system before you migrate from the old. System programs like antivirus tools are unlikely to be migrated successfully, and Laplink recommend you don't try. Some applications with copy protection may need reactivating. Music files protected with DRM might not play until you manually transfer licences. Hardware drivers won't be copied across, and of course a few of your applications may simply be incompatible with the new operating system. While these restrictions may cause a few complications, they're no great surprise, and PCmover could still save you a great deal of time. But does it really work? We ran a live trial to find out. Test setup PCmover Professional 6 doesn't really care which edition of Windows you're using, either on the old or the new PC, so presents no artificial restrictions on the type of upgrade you can make. Windows 7 doesn't support upgrading from XP, for instance, or moving up an edition or two (Vista Home to 7 Ultimate, for instance), but PCmover Professional can handle it all. Great news. We wanted to keep our trial straightforward, though, so just decided to transfer a test setup from Vista Home Premium to a Windows 7 Home Premium system. Our old system was configured with just enough applications to see how well PCmover Professional would perform. So this included Microsoft Office, where Outlook was configured for a few email accounts and Word had an extension or two installed. Firefox was installed, extensions added, and made our default browser; the latest beta of Chrome 6 was included for good measure. We made VLC Media Player our default music player, and installed assorted utilities, like Process Hacker and the search tool Everything to see how they'd perform. There's more to your PC than programs, of course, so we also added plenty of data: documents, music, pictures, video files. And then we configured the PC to suit our needs: custom wallpaper, Explorer settings, power options and other Windows tweaks. A real-life migration would pose far more complicated issues to PCmover Professional, then, but our trial would at least cover the basics: the transfer of applications, their settings, extensions and history, Windows configuration, data and more. Now it was time to put our plan into action. Migration A PCmover Professional migration starts by installing and running the program on the new PC. It takes the form of a simple wizard, so is very easy to use: most of the time you're just reading straightforward prompts, maybe selecting an option or two, then clicking Next and repeating the process. And the program starts by taking a snapshot of your system, recording details of everything you've got installed already. This is then used later to speed up the transfer process, by not trying to migrate an application that's already on the new PC. It all worked smoothly for us, and was complete in just a few minutes. The next step was to install PCmover Professional on our old PC. Here we were able to configure how the data would be transferred: via our network, direct PC to PC connection (USB or a Laplink Ethernet cable), or an external storage device (optical disc or external drive - our preferred choice). And then we got to choose exactly what we'd like to migrate: files, files and settings, or everything - files, settings and applications. We selected the "everything" option, but there are advanced tweaks available if you need them. These allow you to decide whether you'd like to transfer wallpaper, IE settings, IE toolbars, Outlook mailboxes, cookies and more. Some of these custom options are intriguing: "Always move MS Word settings", for instance, which is turned off by default. "Always"? Does that mean the program will sometimes move them even if you don't select this? And why isn't the option turned on, initially? Could it cause problems of some kind? We clicked the Help button, only to discover that while there is a local Help file, it consists solely of a link to an online PDF file, which didn' t mention any of these settings at all. Oh, well. After taking our best guess as to the most appropriate settings, PCmover moved on, detected our applications and allowed us to choose which we'd like to migrate. And then we got to configure the migration in a variety of ways, choosing the user accounts we wanted to transfer, how our drives would be migrated (useful if there are drive letters on one PC that aren't present on the other), and any folders or file types we didn't want to migrate at all. This was all quite straightforward, and once complete we left the program to collect together all the files and data it would be transferring, saving them in a "moving van", in our case on an external USB drive. But if you don't have one, and your PCs aren't networked, then you can also have the moving van split into chunks for saving to several DVDs, say - very convenient. And that was it, the hard work was done. All that remained was to return to the new PC, point its PCmover Professional installation at the moving van, and leave the program to "unpack". A full migration would take considerably longer than then 30 minutes required for our trial, but that doesn't matter as there's no intervention required here, you can simply set PCmover running, and go do something else while your applications, settings and data are transferred. Success We returned to our new PC once the migration was complete, rebooted, and immediately noticed a change: new wallpaper. Our desktop background of choice had made it from the old system. A PCmover program, Startup This, popped up to explain that we had a few decisions to make. PCmover disables old startup programs by default, probably a good idea as you want to minimise potential problems when Windows loads. It's very easy to reenable the startup programs you need, though, and in a few seconds everything was exactly as we required. Our application transfers were very successful. Office made it across, add-ons, Outlook identity and email intact, so we could pick up our new messages immediately. Firefox and its extensions were transferred, and it was correctly made our default browser. Chrome had been migrated, too, as well, and all the lesser apps appeared and worked exactly as they did on the older system. VLC Media Player correctly appeared, too. One minor flaw is that the program wasn't correctly made the default for our media file types, but that was easily fixed. Otherwise the installation worked just as it always had: even the Recent Media list was intact. And because PCmover had also migrated our data - documents, videos, pictures, music and more - we could even select tunes from VLC Media Player's history list and have them play, immediately. The only details that didn't make it across were the relatively low-level Windows tweaks we'd made; our choice of power plan, Control Panel setup, Explorer configuration (no, we do not want to "Hide extensions for known file types"), and so on. But this isn't particularly surprising. Windows 7 power plans work differently to those in Vista, for instance: you can't directly translate from one to the other. So you may have to spend a little time post-migration setting up Windows to behave as you'd like, but this is relatively quick and easy. What really matters is the migration of your applications, and here PCmover Professional performed almost perfectly, transferring programs, extensions, history lists and more with no significant issues at all. Final thoughts Laplink PCmover Professional 6 did a great job for us, then. But there really was no alternative. The program licence allows you to perform one full migration only, so if we'd made a mistake with our settings, or something hadn't transferred correctly, there's no option to "go back and try that again". If you don't like the migration results, then you can undo them, but if you want to repeat the process then you'll need to buy another key. This isn't quite as harsh as it sounds. It's possible to carry out a limited "trial migration" just of a particular file type - Word .DOCX documents, say - to confirm that PCmover is working at a basic level, before you try the real thing. Still, this does mean you have to pay particular attention to every single step of the migration process, as a single error could cost you later. (Another reason Laplink should provide better and more detailed documentation, just to help you along the way.) Given that you are essentially paying for just one use of the full program, we were also surprised to see Laplink attempting to market other packages to us during the migration. One of the first setup steps will opt you in to installing the Ask toolbar on your new PC, for instance, and other screens recommend a host of additional packages (Parallels Desktop, Uniblue RegistryBooster, Laplink DiskImage, and more). We expect this in a freeware package - everyone's entitled to make something from their work - but it's more questionable in commercial software. These concerns aside, though, PCmover Professional delivered all the migration functionality we'd expect, and more. It successfully transferred all our programs, their settings, third-party addons, histories, our data, and some Windows settings, and if you've a PC of any complexity at all then there's no doubt the program could save you many, many days of hassle and hard work. And while we've not covered them here, PCmover 6 also includes a couple of other tools. The Windows 7 Upgrade Assistant can perform an in-place upgrade, for example allowing you to upgrade a Windows XP PC to Windows 7 while keeping your apps, data and settings intact. And the PCmover Image Assistant is able to restore programs, files and settings from an old image or hard drive to a new PC. Check the Laplink site to find out more about these tools.

Integration with OSX means that WinZip can take advantage of Quick Look to allow for compressed files to be previewed without the need for extraction, and you also have the option of editing files contained in an archive before extracting. Once an archive has been created it can be emailed from within WinZip via Mail - this means that the holiday photos you were intending to send to your family can be collected together in a compressed archive and attached to an email in just a few clicks of the mouse. On the security front, WinZip Mac Edition can be used to encrypt an entire archive, but there is also the option of password protecting individual files within an archive. With compressed files accounting for a large proportion of files transmitted over the internet, almost everyone has need for a compression tool. WinZip Mac Edition brings the program countless Windows users have become used to to OSX. Find out more and download WinZip Mac Edition by paying a visit to the program's web page.

Access your PC’s TV tuner from your mobile and other networked devices

Watching TV using the internet is nothing new, but sometimes you can’t access the channel you’d like to view from where you are. The simplest way to watch any form of television on your computer is with a TV tuner – whether it’s cable, satellite or terrestrial, it gives you access to the widest possible range of channels, including those you subscribe to. Now, imagine being able to take that TV signal and watch it from anywhere you like: another computer on your network perhaps, a DLNA-certified device like your PS3 maybe, or even your mobile phone or tablet. The good news is there are a number of options, ranging from free (MediaPortal) to paid-for (DVBLink TV Source), which you can test for free for up to 20 days. DVBLink TV Source allows you to take your TV signal, then – with a fair bit of tweaking and setting up via its configuration tool in your browser (see the wiki for full instructions) – you can marry it up with Windows Media Center. Ostensibly it can be used on its own to make older TV cards compatible with Windows Media Center – so long as they come with BDA drivers, it’ll allow you to control them through Windows rather than a proprietary third-party app. Of more interest to most though, is the fact that once configured, you can make your TV tuner accessible to other devices on your network and the wider internet using the bundled DVBLink Connect! Server package. This is simple to configure – once installed, it’ll run automatically with no additional configuration required. Once in place, you can access your TV tuner from over your network using a range of devices, including DLNA-certified kit, mobile devices and other computers. The Windows 7 client is included in the DVBLink TV Source download, while Mac and Linux users should first install the free Boxee client before accessing http://www.dvblogic.com/boxee/ in their Boxee repository browser. The mobile app works with iOS, Android and Windows Phone, and is a completely free download. Configuration is straightforward: enter your PC’s IP address, or your home public IP address if you’re connecting from outside your home network (again, see the wiki for details), and then log in with the username and password you used to configure DVBLink in the first place - it’s “user” and “admin” by default. If we're honest, it's all a little too complicated considering you're expected to part with $60-plus for the privilege of using it to stream media across your network. If the cost is too rich, then the good news is that you can get similar functionality for free. Stream with MediaPortal MediaPortal is an open-source alternative to Windows Media Center. Aside from the fact it's free, it also works with a wider range of Windows PCs, from XP all the way up to Windows 7. Once your TV server is set up following the advice in the program wiki you need to download the free iPiMP plug-in - this does all the hard work of transcoding and streaming your TV signal to just about any mobile device - including iOS, Android and Windows Phone - with a web browser. Like DVBLink, you can also schedule recordings through your mobile's browser, plus even use it as a remote control in place of your PC's keyboard or mouse. The end result isn't quite as polished as DVBLink's solution, but it's completely free and the setup procedure is - if anything - slightly easier, although not quite as straightforward as we'd like it to be. If you want to stream TV from your PC to mobile device for free, you'll find both MediaPortal and iPiMP are available as free, open-source downloads for PCs running Windows XP SP3 or later. If you're happy to pay for a solution that uses Windows Media Center, and which supports a wider number of client devices, you can download a 20-day trial of DVBLink TV Source for Windows 7 PCs, plus DVBLink for Mobile, which runs on iOS, Android and Windows Phone.

Run Windows 8 apps on the desktop with RetroUI Pro

At first glance, RetroUI Pro may seem much like many of the other Windows 8 tweakers that have appeared recently. Sure, so it lets you boot to the desktop, and brings back the Start menu: that's great, but plenty of others do the same thing, and without the $4.95 (minimum) price tag. Take a closer look, though, and it's quickly obvious that RetroUI Pro isn't just another "me too" tool, all about bringing back the Windows 7 desktop. It's adding some genuinely new functionality. The program's Start menu, for instance, gives you easy access to your programs, key Windows applets and options (like a shutdown menu). But then it goes further, with options to call up the Alt+Tab task switcher, the Charms bar, the Search screen and more. RetroUI Pro also does its best to make the Start screen and desktop work as one environment. There are entries for your apps in the Start menu, for example. And if you switch to the Start screen then your taskbar will remain visible, so all your pinned applications and shortcuts are still accessible. RetroUI Pro's Start menu is much more capable than the Windows 7 version There's plenty of other additional features and functionality scattered throughout the package. TabletView provides a grid-like interface to help organise your key apps, applications and documents, for instance. The program supports multiple hotkeys to carry out various common tasks (F3 for Search, F4 to close a Metro app, and so on). And it's all very configurable. If you're tired of accidentally launching the Charms bar, say, you can disable the new "hot corners" system in seconds. Perhaps the most surprising addition, though, is the ability to run a Windows 8 app in a resizable window on your desktop. Essentially you just run the app as normal, resize it if you like, and the desktop becomes visible underneath. When we tried this particular feature out, though, it wasn't quite so impressive. You can only run one app in a window at a time, for example. If you click away from it - on the taskbar, in Explorer or whatever - then the app disappears entirely. And if you bring it back with Alt+Tab then it's full-screen again (sorry, "immersive"). So while this may look great on RetroUI Pro's feature list, it's not really that useful. At all. And there was some app-related flakiness elsewhere. Yes, the Start menu detected and displayed entries for all our installed apps, for example - but it wouldn't launch them. We pointed and clicked, repeatedly, but nothing happened at all. For all this, we still liked RetroUI Pro. Its Start menu worked well, and having the taskbar available beneath our Start screen was a welcome addition, all on its own. The program isn't as good at manipulating Windows 8 apps, but it could still be worth its asking price ($4.95 for home users), and if any of these features appeal to you then we'd definitely recommend you take the 7-day trial version for a spin.

SecurityKISS: a simpler way to stay anonymous online

If you feel you'd like to be a little more anonymous online then installing a free VPN client is generally a good place to start. But there's a snag: even though the VPN service know you're concerned about your internet privacy, they'll often still ask you to create an account, provide your email address and maybe other details, too. SecurityKISS takes a simpler approach. There's no "signing up", no forms to fill in, no personal information required at all: just download and install the OpenVPN-based client and you're ready to go. Another convenient plus point comes in the ability to choose your server location. When we clicked the Change Server button we could select IP addresses in France, the UK or US, very handy when you're looking to bypass annoying location restrictions on the web. A straightforward interface ensures SecurityKISS is very easy to use SecurityKISS is also simple to use: just click Connect and you'll be protected in seconds. The free client gives you 300MB traffic every day, adequate for our online essentials. And while browsing performance is obviously reduced, it was still perfectly acceptable in our tests. Of course there are also significant restrictions with the free service, the most severe of which is the extreme lack of protocol support: you can't use it with email clients, VoIP, games, video chats, music and video streaming, and so on. SecurityKISS just fine for browsing, though. And if you need more than even the most basic "economy" plan (around $4 a month) makes a real difference, providing faster speeds, a monthly 20GB traffic allowance, and support for games, VoIP, music and video streaming. The service website has the full details.

AstroGrep: a simple, flexible Windows search tool

Are you tired of the standard Windows search tool? You're not alone. Its indexing component is difficult to control, and uses too many resources; we've found the index can become corrupted for no apparent reason; and filtering the results just isn't as easy as it needs to be. Fortunately there are plenty of interesting alternatives around, and AstroGrep is one of the best: compact, powerful yet also simple to use, it's a search tool which should appeal to just about everyone. The program's first advantage is its portability. There's no setup here, no installation, no annoying indexing module - just unzip the core files (which require barely 300KB of disk space) and it's ready to run just about anywhere. The interface is well designed, too. AstroGrep is mostly about searching your system for documents containing specific keywords, and it only takes a moment to enter your search text, and tell the program where to look. AstroGrep's preview pane highlights any matches for your search keywords If you need more, though, just scrolling down reveals plenty of options. So you can limit your search according to their size or modification date, for instance. Or turn on regular expression support for even more powerful search possibilities. And the good news continues when you're defined your query, and clicked "Search". AstroGrep displays matches as they're found, no need to wait until it's finished. And clicking any file in the list displays a preview of the document, with your keywords highlighted, which could be useful when picking out the matches you need. There are some problems, of course. The most notable being that, because there's no indexing, the program must crawl your hard drive for every search, which is always going to cut performance. Still, even here there are things you can do. Making sure to search only the path you need is key, but there are also options to skip hidden or system files or folders, as well as the ability to exclude particular file types from the search entirely. Put it all together, then, and we find AstroGrep is fast enough for most purposes, and its mix of power, portability and ease of use make for an excellent all-round PC search tool.
