HeavyLoad is intended to stress all resources of a PC (like CPU, RAM, hard disk, operating system, etc.) in order to test if it will run reliably under heavy load. This is useful for testing important file or database servers before using them productively, or just for checking if your new PC might get too hot when used intensively. To stress your PC or server, HeavyLoad writes a large test-file to the temp folder, it allocates physical and virtual memory, performs complex calculations and it draws patterns in its window.

File Monster completely erases files from your system — actually overwriting the information in the file so it can not be recovered. The reason information is still available when you delete files with normal deletion methods is because normal deletion methods only tell the operating system to not recognize the file as being present anymore, yet the information hasn`t really been erased. As a result, anyone with a little knowledge of computers can very easily recover the information you thought was erased.
To take your privacy a step further, File Monster also overwrites the original file name with a randomly generated name and it changes the file`s creation date. It can even erase pesky hidden files, system files, and read-only files.
Don`t leave sensitive data on your computer: deleted files are the first place many computer savvy people will look when they are trying to discover sensitive information on your computer. Some important questions you have to consider:
# When you delete files is the information in those files something you want just anyone to have access to?
# When you leave your office at night, just who has access to your computer?
# Do you trust that neighbor that comes over to your house to use or fix your computer? How about your roommate?
# Do you trust the people you give your computer to when something needs installed or fixed?
Now maybe these people will just snoop around — or maybe they`ll take the information they collect for their own use or to use against you! Deleting files with File Monster, however, makes sure you don`t have to worry about that.

Easy Disk Drive Safeguard is a password-protected security utility that you can use to hide and lock your local, network, Floppy and USB drives as well as disable the AutoRun feature for them. When you hide or lock your drives, they become hidden or unavailable in all Windows software such as Windows Explorer, Outlook Express, Microsoft Office and so on. You can disable the AutoRun feature for specific drives or for certain drive types. If you disable the AutoRun feature for drive types, you can, for example, disable the AutoRun feature for all USB drives, for all CD/DVD drives, for all RAM disks or for all removable HDD drives. The design of the program is very simple. The main window contains the boxes with drive settings that represent individual drives and the toolbar used for applying changes. All you need to do is to click on the checkboxes with settings and after you finish press the apply button. If desired, you can apply password protection to the program to prevent your users from changing the security settings you enforce. This software can be run only under an administrator account, which means that your users will not be authorized to uninstall it. This software has a very nice easy-to-learn user interface. Excellent help system is also available.
