@spicydog: ESET has long detected one of the installers on that site (dssfv_setup.exe) as a virus. I have notified them on a number of occasions that it is a false positive (based on scans of that file from Jotti's, VirSCAN.org and VirusTotal), but with no result. It would seem as though they have now blocked the entire domain. All you can do is to lodge a job with ESET support. The website hasn't been updated in a long time, but if the webmaster was still around, if you could get them to lodge a job as well, that would help. |
Bricks2000 is a tetris clone. Throughout the game, various types of "bricks" fall from the top to the bottom of the playing area. When the bricks form a solid row of blocks across the playing area, that row vanishes.

I have this game, and.. it's remarkably bad for a tetris clone. It crashes on occasion, and if your keyboard timing is just right (or wrong) weird glitches happen.

I agree with Erik. On Windows Vista Home Premium this did not run well. Kept crashing and generally misbehavin'. |
Virtual Drives Manager is a tool for defining virtual drives in your filesystem. Virtual drives are symbolic links that points to existing directories on your filesystem. This is essentially a graphical version of subst.exe.
Note: This application periodically tries to contact www.appcontrols.com. If you are using a personal firewall, you can simply block it from accessing the network. But if you are really fussy about such things, then you might not want to use the program at all.

Another way of solving the above "phoning home" issue is to edit you 'hosts' file and point www.appcontrols.com to 127.0.0.1 -- be forewarned though that, should you do this, you won't be able to open the webpage without reversing the edit... |
SilentNight Inspector is a file/folder monitoring program that detects and reports the file/folder creation/deletion and changes to attributes, access date, filesize, last write, security etc.

I still use this program all the time. It crashes hard if you have "Auto-save the log after 1000 lines" enabled. I just went looking for an update. There are none. It seems to be a one off because I couldn't find anything recent from Kristen Tande, who made this and Microburner. Some developer profiles here and there; that's it. Site is long gone. Unique and useful and quite portable. Stores settings in [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\SILENTNIGHT] or copy/paste.

Dev has a (sloppy coded) site at www.easy-data.no, but no mention of Inspector. |
Advanced LAN Pump lets you send files over the network with pause/restart options, automatic error recovery, even a queue for sending a list of files. Great for copying lots of data, particularly over WiFi networks, where the standard Windows copy function is just not robust enough to deal with intermittent network interference and failures.
Note: This program has gone payware. Last available freeware version available via the download link.

serginh0, I agree with you- KillCopy is a great app! I wouldn't want it to be completely portable though. It attaches itself to the right click context menu which is its greatest asset. That allows it to NOT run in memory like the others on this site.

The homepage is now http://www.softsolo.com/, but at almost $40 for the current version (3.1), it's DEFINITELY not freeware anymore! |

They must have changed the license recently. I just added a direct download link for the last free version that I have. |
