Whenever there’s a new post about cleaning, maintenance, or tune-up apps on Download Squad, it seems like there’s always at least one commenter who proclaims their affinity for Advanced SystemCare. And with good reason: SystemCare does a good job of cleaning up temp files and browsing traces (including Flash cookies), tuning the Windows registry, and it can even clean up some basic spyware.

Advanced SystemCare does other neat things too: it bundles other useful little apps to handle other tasks like driver backup, drive space analysis, uninstalling programs, finding duplicate files, editing your context menu, managing startup items, fixing broken shortcuts, and optimizing and freeing RAM.

The pro version offers a few other improvements, like automated maintenance, deeper registry scanning, and smart disk defrag.

Better still, IObit is giving away Advanced SystemCare 3 Pro for (about) 360 hours to celebrate the program’s 5th birthday! All you have to do is visit the giveaway page, tick a radio button, and agree to the terms. You won’t be eligible for tech support, but that’s not really a major downside.

Two quick notes: the verification code is case-sensitive, and the installer will open two IObit web pages when complete. Other than that, the process is annoyance-free.

But by default, Windows XP allows users to hide their folder by selecting “Hidden Folder” option. Do note that anyone can easily see the hidden folders by unlocking them from Windows XP menu, so if you need to keep a folder really secure by locking it with a strong password, then you should use a freeware called Free Hide Folder.

Free Hide Folder works like a computer security software that can lock and hide your important files and no one will be able to access them. Using this tool you can add password to selected files and folders and make them unreachable from everyone. Now if you don’t want to share any file or folder with anyone, simply lock the folder using Free Hide Folder.

Key Features of Free Hide Folder

1. Hides folder completely with strong password
2. Password protection to access locked folder
3. Lock as many folders as you want, no limit!
4. Simple and easy-to-use user interface

It is the flagship software product from UltraReach Internet Corp. for Internet anti-censorship. It enables users inside countries with heavy Internet censorship to visit any public web sites in the world safely and freely. it enables users to browse any website freely just the same as using the regular IE browser while it automatically searches the highest speed proxy servers in the background.

What does it means??

• 100% freedom to have 100% information in most secure way.
• It means no matter where you are you can access 100%free version of internet I mean no firewalls no restriction nothing….
• Almost all schools, universities and corporate offices raise firewalls to filter out not work related sites, now those firewalls will be of no use or they have to change their plans.
• Everybody can access various social networks like Orkut, Youtube, Myspace, Hi5, Facebook, Linkedin etc. which are blocked almost in 99% schools and offices.
• 100% real time and it’s encryption is better then any online banking system.
  

How to get going??

It’s very simple you have to just-

• download an exe file
• then extract it
• and run
• Set proxy if u have any (generally in offices internet are provided through proxies, you can find that, through tools>>internet options>>Connections>>LAN Settings>> there you are with proxy server for your LAN and it’s port
• Just copy that to proxy settings of Ultrasurf.
• Then a window will pop up, says some thing in Chinese, just close this window
• And open fresh internet explorer
• There you are, you can surf any information.
• For office people: beware don’t spread words to your colleagues keep this info as limited as you can, coz if system people got to know about it then they’ll take your comp for scrutinizing.

Useful tips:

When u download fresh version u need to tweak proxy settings of Ultra Surf. do that manually, also sometimes proxy setting of Ultra Surf get vanished automatically.. do check for proxy setting and feed it manually. For any kind of browser Proxy IP address is 127.0.0.1 with port :9666 and For Ultra Surf it depends upon your network.

What is the Flip Side??

I should start with a quote that I’ve learnt in my life

“Too much freedom can Make you or it can Break you”

The flip side is that you can access to anything, I thing you got my point, In school, universities and Work office various sites are blocked to raise their efficiency and productivity, and it is very much likely that if anyone get freedom he/she will definitely try to miss use it.

Some more Useful tips:

I’ve heard one thing many times that Ultra Surf is slowing down net speed or Ultra Surf is not working or something like that but after so many experience of Q&A and personal experience i’ve found that it’s not the Ultra Surf but it’s the net connection that has problemo…..

• Check your net connection remember that it needs certain level of net speed to run Ultra Surf smoothly.
• 9.2 is the latest one and it is the best coz when there is no net connectivity it automatically flashes a message…. it won’t hang u there for retry
• also last tip is that when net slows down or ain’t working at all, just exit Ultra Surf and re start it. instead of retry.. try exit and re start it…trust me retry is bad idea. just restart the whole thing.
