SpamCatcher 3.05*
SpamCatcher takes a very different approach to filtering email by tracking messages in real time through a set of central servers. For this to work, the clients must send information about your email back to the company, but only the digital hash is transmitted, so no-one will ever get to read your messages. See www.allume.com/win/spamcatcher/help-305/help_2a.html if you need more information. You can choose not to participate in the SpamCatcher network, in which case the program will use regular spam tools like black and white lists instead. Either way, SpamCatcher will integrate neatly with Outlook, Outlook Express and most other email clients, with the minimum of setup hassle, ensuring your Inbox is protected within minutes of being installed.
ROXIO MYDVD SLIDESHOW VCD EDITION*
After taking loads of great photos on holiday, you’ll want to share them with others. That’s not easy, of course: it’s too many to email in a single file, and some family or friends may not have a PC anyway. MyDVD SlideShow lets you collect together all your favourite images on a single disc that can be played back on most stand-alone DVD players, or just about any PC with a software DVD player. You can even add a MP3 or WAV soundtrack to your slideshows. DVDs aren’t supported in this version, but even writing to CD you still get almost 650MB to play with, more than enough for most purposes.
BACKUP4ALL 1.5*
Backing up your most valuable data is a hassle, whatever software you use, but Backup4all makes it quick and easy. A simple wizard will guide you through every step from choosing what to back up, to specifiying a destination. It offers powerful include and export filters to let you control what you want to back up and you can choose to run full, or incremental backups to only back up modified files. There’s also a scheduler, for running unattended backups, and even options to run specific programs before the backup starts.
CONCEPTDRAW V PERSONAL EDITION*
ConceptDraw can help you create everything from charts to floor plans. The creation process starts with the ConceptDraw Template Gallery which presents you with a long list of graphic categories to choose from, like Building Plans, FlowCharts, Maps and Technical drawings. Each graphics category then has a number of additional examples to help get you started. Once you’ve chosen a category, you can drag-and-drop the premade objects to make up your illustration and edit them to suit your needs.
