xB Browser (formerly TorPark) is a fully configured combination of Tor (The Onion Router) and Firefox. It allows you to securely and anonymously surf the internet, bypass firewalls and website censorship. For enhanced privacy, xB Browser clears history of browsing and deletes cookies when you close the browser.

• This program has not been updated since April 2010, meaning it may be subject to vulnerabilities that don't affect other browsers
• Although xB Browser is itself free, it is marketed with the paid XeroBank accounts that promises greater access speed than the public Tor network

USB Flash Tools is a toolkit that provides several functions for flash memory, including SD or Compact Flash cards and USB thumb drives. The program helps verify reported capacity, backup and restore of a drive (with optional compression), and securely erase the contents. A variety of secure erase methods are available including free space or whole-drive wipe using either basic (zero out / pseudorandom) or high-security standards (like DoD).

Note: While more secure, more passes are progressively slower and can reduce the life of the flash memory drive.

ozSync is a synchronization tool for files/folders. Synchronization can be started manually, scheduled or triggered in real-time (when content changes). Both full and incremental backup can be performed. With the latter, lost or changed files can be recovered from the backup.

EjectUSB is a tool for quickly closing apps running from a USB drive and ejecting the drive from safe removal. It will automatically close all programs running from the drive EjectUSB was run from (host drive), close any explorer windows open to the host drive, remove Windows MUI and MRU entries and recent document shortcuts related to the host drive, and attempt to eject the host drive when done. It can also interface with various utilities to aid in drive ejection.

Alternatively, the program can be run from your hard drive as a tool to restore a computer to its post-boot state. If you have 10-20 windows open, this will quickly and easily close them all, akin to pressing a reset button for your desktop.

Warning: Launching EjectUSB will immediately close all programs running from the host drive and eject the drive without user intervention!
