Download Advanced SystemCare 6.0.8.170 Free

Advanced SystemCare is a free, simple system optimizer that fixes the most common computer problems, such as Registry broken keys, hijacked settings, a fragmented hard drive or junk files taking too much space. Advanced SystemCare also includes security tools that can detect and remove spyware, as well as prevent any other undesirable elements from entering your system.

The interface in Advanced SystemCare can be a bit confusing at first. Instead of having a standard toolbar or menu system, the program shows a sphere structure on the left side pane that gives you access to the four main sections: Home, which is a summary of the program's usage stats; Maintain Windows and Diagnose System, which contain Advanced SystemCare's main tools to scan, repair and optimize the computer; and finally Utilities, a pack of small system tools that let you perform small fixing tasks, like defragging the hard drive, backing up drivers, finding duplicate files or finding out which programs are set up to run with Windows.

Advanced SystemCare is surprisingly quick. It hardly takes a few minutes to scan and fix your system, though it may take a bit longer when defragmenting the disk. In any case, Advanced SystemCare always creates a backup copy before fixing anything (as well as a restoration point the very first time you launch it) just to be on the safe side.

Advanced SystemCare is an easy-to-use, quick system analyzer and optimizer that fixes the most common computer problems and can make your PC faster and more stable.

Download Defraggler 2.11.560 Free

Download Defraggler 2.11.560 Free

Defraggler is a powerful defragmentation tool developed by the same people as Recuva and the almighty CCleaner.

Defraggler is easy to install and gets straight to the point. One of the features we liked most about this app is the ability to defragment individual folders and files in the Action menu. It also includes two defrag modes, Quick and Standard, with the Quick one focusing only on certain file types.

Another good thing about Defraggler is its customization options. You can set your own rules for Quick defrag, customize the Drive Map by choosing a design and setting the blocks' color and size. You can also create a personal list of all the files and folders that should be excluded from the analysis.

Defraggler can be set to turn the computer off once the disk has been defragmented, and also lets you schedule new analyses in the future. One little detail missing, however, was the ability to minimize it to the system tray.

Overall Defraggler is a great alternative to Windows' built-in defrag tool, with great customization tools - though it can be a bit slow.

Defraggler lets you analyze and defragment either individual files and folders, or the whole computer hard drive, all in a nicely designed user interface.

Recent changes

• Defragmentation speed improved by up to 30%
  
• Optimized free space algorithms
  
• Re-architected scheduling manager
  
• Improved the fragmentation calculation during Defragmentation
  
• Fixed keyboard support for scheduler
  
• Minor UI tweaks

Pros

• Can defrag individual files and folders
• Supports defrag scheduling and automatic PC switching off
• Standard and Quick defrag modes
• Many customization options

Cons

• Can't be minimized to system tray

Download Malwarebytes Anti-Malware 1.65.1.1000 Free

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a reputable, reliable security app that will scan your PC for threats and malware.

The Malwarebytes Anti-Malware definitions are constantly updated, so you'll always be fully protected. Updates may slow down your PC momentarily, but it's obviously worth it to keep up to date. You can also allow updates to happen automatically, leaving you free to get on with other tasks.

What Malwarebytes Anti-Malware does

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware doesn?t offer real-time protection, but you can scan your machine whenever you like. There are two scan settings with the free version ? Full and Quick. If Malwarebytes detects an infection, it will alert you and you can decide what action needs to be taken ? or let it make the decision itself. There?s also an Ignore list feature, so the program will know which files, if any, to skip over. The program also blocks known risky websites.

How does the program perform?

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a very solid product. It includes some useful extras, such as context menu integration, and a locked file deletion tool called FileASSASSIN (as demoed in the video above). Even so, you do have to remember to run it if you fear an infection - if you want realtime protection, you?ll need to pay for a Malwarebytes Anti-Malware license.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware is a powerful, quick malware scanner that?s perfect for the casual ? but savvy ? user.

Download Popular Science Metro App Free

Popular Science for Windows 8 provides readers with content from its website.

While the Windows Store doesn't support magazine subscriptions yet, there are plenty of magazines that have created apps to provide content to readers. Popular Science is a great publication for reading articles about science and technology.

The application itself is very simple. The main page of Popular Science provides a grid of stories. Thumbnails with art and a brief description are shown. There are several categories broken down in the front page, including 'Features,' 'Science,' and 'Technology.' Tap on an article and you'll be taken to the piece. There's a header photo but not much else when it comes to visual media.

Speaking of media, Popular Science's lack of photo and video galleries really hurt the user experience. There are some stories that would do better if there were photos or videos to break up the massive amount of text. Instead, all you get a header image and a bunch of text. The writing is high quality but Popular Science needs to include more audio/visual media.

Overall, Popular Science is a good way to quickly browse through articles from its website but offers a basic reading experience.

Notes

Clicking 'Download' will take you to the Windows Store where you can download the app.

Download CookBook for Windows 8 Free

CookBook is a cookbook application for Windows 8 that allows you to search and browse for recipes.

Windows tablets make a great kitchen companion. Unfortunately CookBook falls a bit short as a good cookbook replacement app. Its features are very basic. Browse by different categories of foods or search for recipes. You can favorite and bookmark recipes but that's about it.

The recipes in CookBook are very basic as well, only showing one (often grainy) photo and a bunch of text for the ingredients and the cooking instructions. Directions are formatted in a way that it is a singular block of text, making it difficult to read and keep track of individual steps.

While CookBook lets you search for recipes, it doesn't do it as intelligently as something like AllRecipes, which lets you search by ingredients, helping you make the most of what you have in your kitchen. It's a disappointment that CookBook doesn't include image and video galleries, which would allow users to see individual steps.

Overall, CookBook lacks many useful features and offers a sub par user experience compared to other cook book apps.

Notes

Clicking 'Download' will take you to the Windows Store where you can download the app.

Download Spotify 0.8.5.1331 Free

Download Spotify 0.8.5.1331 Free

Spotify turned the world of online music streaming upside down, providing users with access to a massive music catalog anyplace, anytime.

While comparisons with other similar services ? such as Last.fm ? are inevitable, Spotify has certain characteristics that make it stand out from the rest. You can search the entire Spotify music database in several ways (by artist, album, genre, decade, label brand?), create as many playlists as you want and share them with other users, and learn more about your favorite bands thanks to extensive, highly detailed biographies. Spotify also helps you discover new music through the ?Related artists? and Radio service.

There are three types of Spotify accounts: Open, Unlimited and Premium. Free is limited to 10 hours of free ad-supported a month (approximately 200 songs) and lets you play each song up to five times. Unlimited has no ads and no playback restrictions. Finally, Premium includes high-quality MP3 (also with no ads or restrictions) and also includes an offline mode for playlists.

The one big criticism of Spotify was the lack of social features. Luckily the developers took note of this complaint and include a bunch of new social elements in Spotify?s next version ? together with the Library, a centralized area from which you can manage your music collection ? including Spotify?s lists and your own MP3 files, which you can now import into Spotify from your hard drive, your Windows Media Player Library or your iTunes library.

The brand new features included in the latest version of Spotify now let you manage and sync the music in your iPod, iPhone or Android. Also, the Spotify mobile app has been made available for anyone, and not just Premium users. Last, but not least, Spotify has launched its MP3 download service, thanks to which you can buy and download individual songs and also your custom playlists. The price depends on the number of songs you want to download ? the longer the playlist, the less you pay for each track. You can pay with credit card or Paypal, though the latter is not accepted if you only purchase one song.

Just like a good wine, Spotify gets better with age. If you don?t mind the limitations in the Free version (or you?re willing to pay for the Unlimited/Premium one) it?s probably time to ditch your old desktop music player.

Spotify lets you browse, play, share and buy music, including not only your lifelong favorite bands, but also brand new styles and artists.

Recent changes

• Gapless playback and cross-fader options added

Pros

Download Maxthon Classic 3.4.5.2000 Free

Download Maxthon Classic 3.4.5.2000 Free

Whenever I review a browser I have to take a deep breath and put my prejudices firmly to one side. I'm a Firefox fan, and generally feel (tongue-in-cheek!) pity for people who use other browsers. I'm especially suspicious of Internet Explorer, which is why when Maxthon landed on my screen for review, well let's just say I wasn't hopeful.

In fact, it's just as well that I decided to be objective, because Maxthon really surprised me. If you are a person who likes lots of options, you should really check Maxthon out - the IE-based browser has more buttons, menus and configurations options than Photoshop, and you can really customize it to the max. All aspects of the browser can be re-sized, moved or taken away and there are multiple skins, interface styles, and language options.

Maxthon generally opens its configuration options in new tabs, rather than windows. This means they are easy to see and modify, which is just as well, as there are so many of them. These options Maxthon gives you, including the standard File, View, and Tools types, can be found in the Menu Bar, while there are even more in the lower Status bar. If things are beginning to sound a bit crowded, you can disable most, leaving the whole interface much cleaner.

It would take a very long time to detail all of Maxthon's options, so suffice to say that as well as the standard ones (tab behavior, display, encoding), there are a multitude of other features, from content control to image and script disabling, an in-built ad-blocker, auto form-filler and advanced screenshot function. In fact, some of the options are quite complex, and you might want to take a look at the user manual before jumping straight in.

If you like a simple browsing experience, or are a big fan of your Firefox add-ons, Maxthon probably isn't for you (although there is a good selection of Maxthon add-ons). If you are an Internet Explorer user who wants more options, however, or are just interested in life beyond Mozilla, give Maxthon a try. You might be as surprised as I was.

Maxthon is a great choice for those looking to expand their browsing options.

Download WeatherBug Metro App 2.0.0.1 Free

WeatherBug is a meteorology application that will keep you up to date with current weather conditions.

WeatherBug is a great weather application that helps you find out current and future weather conditions. The homepage is simple and doesn't require any scrolling or swiping to reveal more information. You get current weather conditions, conditions by the hour, a 3 day forecast, notifications, and maps, all from the home screen.

Notifications in WeatherBug are a great feature. You can set it up to alert you for certain weather conditions. If it's raining, it'll pop up a notification, even when you're in another app. It's a shame that WeatherBug doesn't incorporate any weather news, which is handy for tracking big storms.

Maps is a welcomed feature in WeatherBug as it shows current conditions in an area. The map is responsive and you can toggle different types of information like satellite, humidity, pressure, and temperature.

It would have been nice to see some weather live streams and video content to see how weather conditions are around the world. The lack of live video streams and news seems like a missed opportunity for WeatherBug.

Still, WeatherBug provides a soild app for checking conditions and looking up forecasts. Just don't expect more than that.

Download Dooble 1.37 Free

Dooble is an open source web browser, which aims to facilitate quick and secure internet surfing.

Based on WebKit, the powerful engine that both Safari and Google Chrome also use, Dooble's main focus is security on the web. Dooble also incorporates RetroShare, an application that makes it possible for you to send emails and files with a sense of privacy. RetroShare also has a built-in chat program for those who want a complete web surfing experience without the need to open a stand-alone desktop application to chat with friends and family.

In addition, cookies and Javascript are disabled on this browser by default. Dooble also automatically removes the browser's history every time you close the program. You can make changes to the default settings with relative ease through the configuration menu. There are also several search engines included with the browser, tabbed browsing, and the ability to open bookmarks with the keypad numbers.

Unfortunately, Dooble's search engine automatically gives you search results in German, no matter what language you configured to be your primary option. Sometimes the browser's font size also automatically shrinks to an illegible level after you've changed unrelated settings, which can be annoying.

Dooble certainly doesn't break any new ground, but it's a competent and secure browser alternative.

Dexpot Portable is an excellent, free virtualization app for Windows PCs.

So what will virtualization do for you? Well, many people use it as a way of maximizing space and efficiency while undertaking multiple tasks at once. Dexpot Portable does this by allowing you to create various virtual desktops ? clones of your normal desktop that are accessed with a simple click.

Dexpot Portable allows you to create up to 20 desktops, making it particularly suitable for power users. Imagine you?re trying to edit photos and copy files at the same time. Simply use Dexpot Portable?s configuration to create 2 virtual desktops, do the editing in one, and neatly ?file away? the copying to the second, which will be maintained out of sight.

This virtualization app has some great configuration options that make sure each desktop is tweaked just to your liking. You can change the desktop?s resolution, set a notification for when you come in or out, password-protect it and even customize each desktop?s appearance. Dexpot Portable also lets you tweak overall options, like how to control and visualize switching between desktops and creating rules for automated behaviors.

A lot of thought and attention has obviously gone into Dexpot Portable, meaning that an app that is obviously very useful is also a pleasure to use. We recommend taking a look at the configuration options before you start, and always bear in mind that apps like Dexpot Portable maximize your space, not your memory, so don?t expect it to facilitate any multi-app miracles!

Download LibreOffice 3.6.3 Final Free

Download LibreOffice 3.6.3 Final Free

LibreOffice is an all-in-one professional office productivity and management package for your PC.

In the same vein as other open source productivity suites like OpenOffice.org, LibreOffice boasts a comprehensive set of office management tools arguably on par with Microsoft Office itself. LibreOffice offers six different office management tools to meet your project management needs: Text Document, Spreadsheet, Presentation, Drawing, Database, and Formula.

Text Document is relatively synonymous with Microsoft Word, where Spreadsheet is like Excel. Presentation mirrors Microsoft's PowerPoint, and Database is similar to Access. Then you also have two additional programs in Drawing and Formula, which are an added bonus to the entire package. LibreOffice is compatible with Microsoft Office's document formats and also supports PDFs natively. It also has its own document format called Open Document.

Unfortunately, if you're unfamiliar with Microsoft Office products, this program might take a little additional time to get used to, particularly if you want to master some of its more advanced features. Regular Microsoft Office users will find LibreOffice's interface quite similar, however, and should pick up on how to use its various programs without too much difficulty.

A great alternative to Microsoft Office, LibreOffice is a must-try for managing your various office projects.

Recent changes

• This release is bit-for-bit identical to the 3.5.4 Release Candidate 2, so you don't need to download or reinstall if you have that version already.
  
• The distribution for Windows is an international build, so you can choose the user interface language that you prefer. Help content is available via an online service, or alternatively as a separate install.
  
• Our Windows binaries are digitally signed by The Document Foundation.
  
• For Windows users that have LibreOffice prior to version 3.4.5 installed, either uninstall that beforehand, or upgrade to 3.4.5. Otherwise, the upgrade to 3.5.4 may fail.
  
• For Windows users that have OpenOffice.org installed, we advise uninstalling that beforehand, because it registers the same file type associations.
  
• If you run Windows 2000, you may require this update before being able to install LibreOffice.
  
• If you run Linux, the GCJ Java variant has known issues with LibreOffice, we advise to e.g. use OpenJDK instead.
  
• LibreOffice contains all the security fixes from OpenOffice.org in 3.3.0, and perhaps more as a side-effect of the code clean-ups.
  
• Microsoft Office 2010 will complain that ODF 1.2 and extended documents written by LibreOffice 3.5 are invalid (but opens them still). This is a shortcoming in MSO2010 only supporting ODF 1.1, please see here for further details.

Download Instagram for Chrome 3.0.3 Free

Instagram for Chrome is a simple browser enhancement that allows users to view and interact with their Instagram feeds from Google Chrome.

There is no official Instagram website, so users could only view and interact with their Instagram photos and feeds from their mobile phones. Until now. Instagram for Chrome lets users view their Instagram feed from within the browser. You can "like" and comment on photos. Users can even access popular and nearby Instagram photos.

While Instagram for Chrome works well, there are some user interface issues. The whole app itself is nothing more than a copy of the Instagram interface on a phone, but users can't go back a page. You will have to select whichever page you were on last from the menu options. While you can view photos within Instagram for Chrome, you can't download them or view them in higher resolution.

One more thing to note is that there's no way to log out of the extension. Of course you can uninstall Instagram for Chrome, but that's not an ideal solution if you want to switch accounts.

Overall, Instagram for Chrome is a good way to view photos from your Instagram account but the interface quirks get annoying quickly.

Review last updated: 14/06/12

Pros

• Full access to Instagram features

• Can't upload any photos
