DivX Plus for Windows 10.0-A fully comprehensive DivX studio
Download
DivX Plus for Windows is the official release from the DivX company, and offers everything you need to watch such films. The pack includes the all-important DivX Codec Pack, plus DivX Player, DivX Web Player and a free 15-day trial of DivX Plus Converter for those who plan to convert files to DivX.
The player in DivX Plus is sleek and easy to use. It’s got all the standard functions of a DVD player. If you want to create your own DivX content, the DivX Plus Converter allows the creation of video resolutions up to and including 1920 x 1080 High Definition in either interlaced or progressive-scan.
DivX Plus Player also supports advanced DVD features such as scene selection menus, subtitles and alternate audio tracks. It includes a download manager that allows you to download several videos at once, and also a tool to transfer your videos to other devices such as a DVD player, a Blu-ray player and and a PS3.
There’s little to criticise in DivX Plus for Windows except for the converter. It can be particularly useful if you are trying to burn a downloaded DivX film onto a DVD to play on a standalone DVD player. Watching DivX files on your PC is usually not a problem but some people have issues when watching them on a standalone DVD Player. DivX Plus Converter solves this by taking any video file and producing a perfectly clean DivX film at the end of it.
However, this feature is painfully slow and DivX Plus Converter takes hours to complete just one film. Bearing in mind that you also have to pay for it after the 15-day trial period has expired, you’ll soon be looking for other converters to use such as BPS Video Converter or VSO ConvertXtoDVD.
Overall, DivX Plus for Windows is an excellent DivX player and since it’s released by the official DivX company, you’ll have no worries about dodgy codecs ruining playback on your PC.

avast! Internet Security 8.0.1497-avast! with firewall, spam filter and SafeZone
Download
avast! Internet Security is the latest offering from avast! and offers users a chance to see how far this excellent security app has come.
Visually appealing
Traditionally here at Softonic we have a lot of time for avast! Internet Security, so we were really excited to get a look at the newest version. For starters, it looks really slick, with a slim-lined installation process, and a very user-friendly and clear interface.
Good installation options
Another nice addition that you'll notice when setting up avast! Internet Security is the option to install as the second line of defense on your computer. There are also plenty of installation options, which allow you to get the most from your anti-virus before it's even installed. Of course, there's also a default installation if the nitty-gritty's not for you.
Security improvements
What else does version 8 add to avast! Internet Security? Well, in the first place the developer assures us that there have been considerable updates on the security front, which is obviously what you want from an anti-virus. It also offers a nice Statistics module, as well as a comprehensive Support function that allows you to generate a support package to send to the avast! personnel who are trying to troubleshoot your problem.
New features
Two especially useful new functions in avast! Internet Security 8 are the AutoSandbox feature and the Remote Assistance. AutoSandbox allows avast! to automatically place any program it deems suspicious inside a sandbox, so it cannot do damage to your computer. You can edit the programs that are excluded from this behavior in the general settings.
SafeZone
avast! Internet Security 8's SafeZone is effectively an extension of the AutoSandbox features, but instead of allowing you to open files and run unknown programs, it provides you with an alternative desktop for sensitive transactions such as internet banking and shopping. As with the rest of avast! Internet Security, it's really easy to use - just click the large Switch to SafeZone button. If you'd like more control, you'll be able to tweak under the Sandbox Expert settings.
Firewall
Last but not least, avast! Internet Security's firewall is definitely worth a mention. Since for many users it's one of avast! Internet Security's most coveted features, you'll be glad to hear that it's been updated along with the rest of the program. With its 3 different risk zones and 5 different configurations sub-areas, even the most demanding users will be able to configure it to their liking.
We were expecting great things from avast! Internet Security 8, and it hasn't let us down. It's an awesome security tool, and thoroughly recommendable to any user.

avast! 7 Pro is the latest offering from avast! and offers a chance to see how far this excellent anti-virus has come.
Visually appealing
Traditionally here at Softonic we have a lot of time for avast!, so we were really excited to get a look at the newest version. For starters, it looks really slick, with a slim-lined installation process (which looked good, but still took a while), and a very user-friendly and clear interface. While the interface is similar to avast! 6, it's got many more options, something you'll see as soon as you open it.
Good installation options
Another nice addition that you'll notice when setting up avast! 7 Pro is the option to install as the second line of defense on your computer. There are also plenty of installation options, which allow you to get the most from your anti-virus before it's even installed. Of course, there's also a default installation if the nitty-gritty's not for you.

It also offers a nice Statistics module, as well as a comprehensive Support function that allows you to general a support package to send to the avast! personnel who are trying to troubleshoot your problem.
New features
Two especially useful new functions are the AutoSandbox feature and the Remote Assistance. AutoSandbox allows avast! 7 Pro to automatically place any program it deems suspicious inside a sandbox, so it cannot do damage to your computer. You can edit the programs that are excluded from this behavior in the general settings.
Remote assistance
Remote Assistance is much as it sounds, but it's a great feature to have. This allows you to either connect to or be connected to by another user, so that you can help them with computer problems or so that they can help you (especially when tech support personnel are involved). Obviously, both of you will have to have avast! 7 Pro installed, but it's a feature we can see coming in really useful.
avast! 7 Pro's top new features:
- New installer
- UI facelift
- FileRep service (cloud based)
- Streaming updates
- Sandbox & Autosandbox improvements
- Browser protection improvements
- FileRep service (cloud based)
- Remote assistance feature
- Support tool

Download
AVG Internet Security is one of the most feature-rich security suites you can find. It protects you from all sort of dangers and threats any time you go online.
Like many other security apps, the installation of AVG Internet Security is quite long. The installer downloads the 123 MB application file, and also requires you to uninstall any other security apps present on your system – even if they’re also an AVG product. This is understandable though, as AVG Internet Security includes pretty much everything you need to stay safe while browsing the web. Also, bear in mind that unless you choose the custom installation option, the program will change your homepage and install the AVG browser bar.
Once AVG Internet Security is finally installed in your system, and after the usual system restart, you’re presented with an easy, clear interface, with icons that take you to the program’s functions. Some of the tools included in AVG Internet Security are an antivirus, an antispyware, scanners for links and email (including an anti-spam tool), two special security shields (Online for web activity and Resident for local active processes), an anti-rootkit app and a special tool to protect your identity online.
AVG Internet Security includes also an extensive configuration menu so that you can easily adapt the program to your needs. It may take a while, but it’s worth the effort.
With AVG Internet Security you’ll be protected against all sorts of online threats and dangers.

AVG AntiVirus Free 2014 2014.0.4116-Simple and effective free antivirus for Windows
Download
AVG Anti-Virus has gone through many changes over the years but is still one of the handiest free antivirus programs available for personal users.
Despite being a free security tool, AVG Anti-Virus is as good as any paid anti-virus app. It features a bunch of dedicated modules to protect you from antivirus, spyware and rootkits and spam, and also includes the so called LinkScanner – an extra layer of protection that checks search results and web links to make sure they’re safe. In recent years, the developers have added more intrusive features that try to intefere with browser settings such as your preferred search engine but overall, it still remains a good anti-virus option.
One of the best things about AVG Anti-Virus is that it offers neat, effective protection while staying silently minimized in your system tray without guzzling system resources and of course, without constantly bothering you with warning windows or update messages. Since it's the free version of a complete program, AVG Anti-Virus does show the odd nag screen encouraging you to buy AVG Professional , something which may annoy some users.
AVG Anti-Virus features a nicely designed, more user-friendly interface, which mimics the Windows Modern UI, and supports touch in Windows 8. Of course, you still have the same three types of scan: full system, selected files and folders and anti-rootkit. AVG Anti-Virus also lets you schedule scans for a certain day and time.
New in 2013 is an enhanced and simplified firewall. Previous versions of AVG didn't include any firewall at all so it's a nice addition. Settings for the firewall are easy to use and understand, making personalization network access for specific apps a breeze. The firewall will also help scan links, fight spam, and protect against wi-fi hacking.
The whole AVG Anti-Virus package should be enough to ensure you're not infected with any virus. The program also integrates seamlessly with Windows Explorer, allowing you to scan files from their context menus. AVG Anti-Virus's database is automatically updated on a daily basis, so you're always protected from even the most recently discovered threats. Although AVG Anti-Virus still remains a very powerful packages, there are other anti virus tools - such as Avast! - that do as good a job if not better.
Performance of AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition has increased as well. Startup times are now 26% quicker, scanning times are 36% faster, and interface loads over 200% faster
AVG Antivirus remains a perfect security solution for the average computer user, providing a powerful weapon against viruses.

Last.fm Scrobbler 2.1.36.0-The ultimate in free social music radio
Download
The Last.fm Scrobbler is a free app that places the “social music revolution” onto your desktop, giving you access to thousands of tracks from all musical genres.
The beauty of the Last.fm Scrobbler is that it encourages you to find similar artists to the ones you already like and pushes you to interact with users who share the same tastes. Search results appear as a tag cloud, with the biggest elements being the most popular. With thousands of songs available on Last.fm, it’s pretty unlikely that you’ll listen to the same thing twice. The Last.fm Scrobbler is streamed and you’ll have to be connected to the internet and have a Last.fm account for it to work.
Although slightly bulky, the Last.fm Scrobbler is sleek and accessible. We like the shiny control icons and the “now playing” window. This is where you’ll find artist information like album cover, a small description of the artist, related tags and artists and top listeners. The Last.fm Scrobbler menu bar on the left includes your recently played tracks, recently loved and recently banned, although to listen to these you’ll need to upgrade your Last.fm account.
With the Last.fm Scrobbler, you can connect to neighbors' stations and listen to their tunes. The lists of the friends you made on Last.fm will also appear on your player. If you have the Audioscrobbler plug-in installed, Last.fm Scrobbler can also track all the songs you play in your favorite desktop music app (like iTunes) and connect you with even more neighbors.
Most of us here at Softonic have Last.fm connected all day, simply because it doesn’t require you to have your own music library, it’s free and provides an endless flow of new tunes. In line with modern evolutions in online music, Last.fm Scrobbler mixes streaming and social tools to give you an exciting music player.
The Last.fm Scrobbler - no music fan should be caught dead without it.

avast! Free Antivirus 8.0.1497-avast! redesigned for Windows 8
Download
avast! Free Antivirus finally debuts a version that is optimized for Windows 8. While the application doesn't function as a Modern UI app, it takes design cues from the operating system. There are plenty of updates that make avast! Free Antivirus one of the best free antivirus suites.
Features
avast! Free Antivirus is loaded with tons of features. From the home tab you can gain quick access to your system status, virus scan, software updater, stats, and the market. Features like the firewall and SafeZone require a premium subscription.
The software updater that's included with avast! Free Antivirus alerts users about outdated applications that are installed but only offers a link to the program page to download the latest update. Paying for a premium subscription will allow you to update your apps within the application. There's even an option to update automatically in the paid versions of avast!
avast! Free Antivirus offers more than just virus protection. The application also includes "cloud services," which gathers information from other avast! users to compare the reputation of similar files. These updates are constantly streamed to and from avast! so users don't have to worry about downloading updates.
New to avast! Free Antivirus is the Market where you can purchase additional features and services. The app itself is very good at reminding users how many features are missing so the Market makes it even more tempting to upgrade. Purchases can be made directly inside the application.
Usability
Using avast! Free Antivirus is very straightforward. Features and sections of the application are clearly marked with short explanations about what each feature does.
Like with many other antivirus applications, the amount of options and features is a little overwhelming. There are icons in the Security tab that are clearly marked with a green status light indicating everything is working as it should. This makes it easy to see what parts of the application require user action.
For the most part, avast! Free Antivirus is an application that you can configure and forget about. The program will display a popup if anything needs your action.
Quality
avast! Free Antivirus is well designed with tons of features. While it's not as simple as it could be, it works well and is completely free. It's nice that avast! Free Antivirus doesn't include an annoying tool bar, but it does install a web extension to monitor malicious links while you're browsing.
While avast! Free Antivirus excels as an antivirus application, it doesn't do much in the way of being a one-stop-shop for all your computer maintenance needs. Other apps like IObit's Advanced Systemcare with Antivirus offer more features that will make sure your computer is running its fastest.
Scans were performed quickly but not the best we've seen. This really depends on your hardware and how many files you have on your computer.
Conclusion
At the end of the day, it's easy to see what avast! Free Antivirus remains at the top of our download charts. The amount of features that free users have access to is amazing. While it's annoying that the app nags you to upgrade to a paid subscription, it's a small price to pay for a well designed antivirus solution that's completely free. Now if only avast! could include some computer maintence features.
What's new
2013-02-28
- Software Health module
- Browser Cleanup tool
- New User Interface
- Compatible with Windows 8

Avidemux 2.6.5-Free video editor and encoder
Download
If you need a free way to encode and convert your videos then Avidemux is a simple but effective application.
Avidemux is a free video editor designed for simple cutting, filtering and encoding. Its very flexible, supporting AVI, DVD compatible MPEG files, MP4 and ASF files using a variety of codecs. This means there is no messing around converting it to DV format before you can edit it in a third party editing application. Tasks can be automated using projects, job queues and powerful scripting capabilities.
Avidemux is completely open source and works across platforms, so it's ideal for those that are working on both Macs and PCs. However, the look and feel of Avidemux could do with some work. It looks like some kind of Windows 95 throwback app but don't judge the book by its cover. Avidemux is very powerful and although it's not particularly intuitive at first, with trial and error you can quickly learn the editing basics.
Note that although it claims to handle MPEG clips I was confronted with an 'H.264' error which meant it has to operate in 'Safe' mode and led to the loss of several frames.
It's far from perfect, but Avidemux is a handy tool for anyone that wants to perform basic editing for free and doesn't want to have to convert to another format first.

Revealer Keylogger 2.09-Log everything typed on your computer
Download
Revealer Keylogger is a simple, easy-to-use keylogger that records everything that's typed into the computer.
Revealer Keylogger works surprisingly well. Under a rather simple interface we find a tool that can hide itself (so that users don't notice they're being logged) and record absolutely everything that you type, from a simple text document to the user-names and passwords (without asterisks) entered on any website.
We did find a flaw in the program though. When logging data, Revealer Keylogger disappears from the desktop and system tray, but still shows an active process in the Task Manager that more advanced users will easily spot.
Logs in Revealer Keylogger are saved as TXT files. The program includes other configuration options that remain inactive to encourage you to buy a pro version of the program.

Panda Antivirus Pro Panda Antivirus Pro 2014-Feature packed antivirus
Download
Panda Antivirus Pro is the brand’s entry level security product: a powerful antivirus tool that protects your system in an effective – and unobtrusive – way.
New for 2013 is a completely redesigned interface with tons of additional features that make it a holistic security suite for your PC. Antivirus is still at the heart of Panda Antivirus Pro but it also includes a firewall, USB 'vaccine,' multimedia/gaming mode, and safe browser.
The interface of Panda Antivirus Pro has been completely redesigned since the last version with a focus on making it easy to read and use. Functions are now big, colorful icons and the most vital information is presented at the top with charts and large text. Menus and their explanations have also been simplified so you know exactly what each feature does.
New in Panda Antivirus Pro 2013 is the USB vaccine, which prevents malicious software from automatically running when connected to the computer. This is a pretty basic way to prevent infections from external devices but useful, nonetheless.
Performance of the application is good with quick scans and consumes minimal system resources. Panda Antivirus Pro focuses on creating an unobtrusive security experience and it succeeds on the most part. You can set up Panda and just forget about it. It will run in the background and will only alert you if an infection is found or if you need to take action. The firewall replaces the Windows default firewall and has the ability to allow connections from common applications. You'll have to decide whether to give an app that hasn't been white listed internet access.
When tested against standardized virus attacks, Panda Antivirus Pro stopped infected files immediately and without major interruption of our work. We especially liked the fact the Panda Antivirus Pro doesn't fill up the screen with unnecessary warnings all the time.
Panda Antivirus Pro is an unobtrusive, efficient and user-friendly antivirus app that protects your system without needless interruptions.

GOM Player GOM Media Player 2.2.53.5169-Awesome free media player with built-in codecs
Download
GOM Player is a popular video player that plays pretty much any video format you can think of.
Automatically searches for codecs online
Like UMPlayer GOM Player is one of those apps that goes unnoticed but proves to be excellent when you take the time to give it a try. It's a compact, easy-to-use video player lets you enjoy video files and movies in a wide variety of formats. What's more, you won't have problems with codecs because GOM Player already includes them – and if not, it automatically searches for the appropriate codec online.
Support for wide range of features
GOM Player shows off a sleek interface with support for skins and has other powerful features: support for subtitles, favorites manager, support for playlists, use mouse and keyboard shortcuts for many functions and more. What GOM Player misses, for example, is the ability to take screenshots or even more important, to resume playback right where you left it (something I personally use a lot).
GOM Player offers to install the Google Toolbar during its installation process but you may as well decline the offer. As for the rest, it's a great video player that's well worth a try… even if you already have a favorite player.
Conclusion
GOM Player is a visually appealing video player with very interesting features and which, above all, solves any problem you may have with codecs.

Walletx is a solution to this problem: it allows you to securely store your account information and passwords, as well as things like purchase data, credit cards numbers or bank account info. All of this information will be in a safe place but instantly accessible to you.
Even further, Walletx can synchronize your data online via Dropbox, allowing you to save your passwords using the Cloud storage service so that you can access your data as synchronized from different devices and platforms.
Cards for everything
Using Walletx is simple: each new entry in the application receives a card. Walletx offers a large selection of possible cards, such as hotel reservations, ISPs, social security numbers, vehicle information, as well as key services such as Google, Twitter, Facebook, Paypal, LinkedIn, eBay or Foursquare account info.
All you have to do is select the type of card you need and complete the corresponding form, adapted to each service with a personalized space for notes. You also have the option to change the icon for each card to differentiate them from one another.
Simple but effective
Although Walletx appears very simple, its functionality is flawless. In no time at all, you can add information for all of your accounts, creating cards one by one. In addition, support for Dropbox allows the data to be copied to your Dropbox account so that you can access your information wherever you are.
Although it is simple to use, the card system can actually slow the process of filing your data because its sometimes tricky to find the type of card that best fits the information you want to enter.
Secure passwords
If you have lots of passwords to remember, Walletx lets you forget them! Walletx stores all your passwords in a secure database with just one master password, keeping access to all the services you need safe at hand.

Keepvid 3.7.2-Instantly download music tracks from video files
Download
Keepvid allows you to search and download songs from video streaming sites.
Multiple options for downloading music and videos
Like most programs, you can search Keepvid by artist or song title. After a few minutes, Keepvid indexes a database of over 15 million downloadable videos for results.
You can download the chosen song or video by dragging and dropping the file into the download section. Alternatively, right-clicking the indexed track will show you several options:
- Play: Starts playback streaming of the song in a simple built-in audio player.
- Watch video: Opens and plays the music video in your browser.
- Fast download: Download the video of the song. You can choose which resolution you want to download the video from the ones available.
- Download as: Download only the audio or video of the song in the format you choose.
- Transfer to iTunes: You can send the file to AIFF or as an MP3 to iTunes.
Streaming songs is free, but there are limitations to downloading and conversion which aren't fully obvious within the program itself. For more details on the limitations, you have to go to the manufacturer's website.
Everything at your fingertips
Initially, the Keepvid interface may seem chaotic, but after playing around with it for a few minutes, it's easy to become familiar with the controls, which are all located on the same screen.
Managing categories of tracks (Fast download, Transfer to iTunes, etc.) is only accessible via right mouse click and the interface could be improved with an options menu for the program.
What is convenient is the ability to contact customer service for real-time support using the integrated chat function.
Fast downloads
Keepvid indexes search results quickly and the music was downloaded more quickly than we expected. On the other hand, we did have issues downloading videos in some cases.
The application uses 3 different processes and as a result uses moderate resource consumption.
Bundled software
During installation, you will be offered the option to install a toolbar and other software. You can simply refuse by clicking 'Skip'.
Verdict
Keepvid is a good program to download songs and music videos, but the download and conversion limitations aren't recognizable from the app's interface.
Keepvid supports multiple download types and has an integrated live chat for customer service, but it generally doesn't include any novel features that make it stand out from other similar free video download programs like Songr.

TuneUp Lite 3.0.0.35-Your music consultant for iTunes
Download
TuneUp is a tool that helps organize several aspects of iTunes for you.
If your iTunes library is a mess, full of badly labeled tracks, TuneUp is a great way to get your library organized again. Rewriting tags yourself can take forever, so let TuneUp do it for you instead.
Overview
TuneUp sits next to your iTunes window, and has four functions. First is 'Clean', which searches for possible fits to your mislabeled tracks, and then automatically changes the file's tag. You can also search for cover art in the same way. Drag any album missing artwork into the TuneUp box, and it will find suitable matches, then update your files. If you like the 'cover flow' feature on iTunes, this is a great way to make it look even better.
Features
The DeDuper feature searches out duplicate songs in your collection, which you can then remove. Finally there is the Tuniverse. TuneUp's Tuniverse allows you to share what you're playing on Facebook, tweet the song on Twitter, and see related YouTube videos and biographies from Freebase. There are even concert and event notifications via the StubHub service.
TuneUp allows you to clean 500 songs and find 50 album covers, so once you've used them up you'll have to subscribe to do more. The unlimited 'Now Playing' and 'Concerts' functions might be useful to you, and the YouTube videos are definitely a nice touch.
TuneUp is a nice idea. iTunes libraries can get really untidy, and it's good to have an automated cleaning system. The app sits neatly next to iTunes, and doesn't use significant system resources.
If you have lots of files in your iTunes library that need organizing, TuneUp is a great organizational option.

BS.Player Free 2.66-Great media player supporting a wide range of formats
Download
BS.Player is the perfect video player for those moments when you prefer watching movies and TV series on the computer rather than doing it on the couch.
All the formats and features you might need
BS.Player is a great media player that features anything you need to watch movies or any other kind of video on your PC. BS.Player supports all popular video formats (and audio as well, in case you were wondering) and though its basic interface is not really the nicest one I've seen, you can easily customize it with skins. Also, if you're missing any video or audio codecs, BS.Player will download them right away during installation.
BS.Player supports video subtitles, takes screenshots of movie currently playing, lets you create bookmarks and chapters to move along videos more easily and has also support for plug-ins, making it very similar to apps like UMPlayer.
Shortcuts
I especially liked the way you can control playback, either by using keyboard shortcuts or simply your mouse: one click to stop the video, two clicks to go full screen, mouse wheel to raise or lower the volume... It's really comfortable.
Reliable and easy to use
BS.Player is reliable and full of features. The only drawback if any, is the fact that the program doesn't include any documentation except for a FAQ section that you need to open in your browser. Not that you can't use BS.Player without help, but it's always nice to have some documentation to rely on in case you get stuck.
Overall
BS.Player lets you enjoy your favorite movies on the PC with a wide range of features: subtitles, screenshots, bookmarks and more.

Download
CyberLink PowerDirector is a complete video editor with which you can create colorful video presentations, mixing all sorts of multimedia elements: videos, images, transition effects, clipart, text layers and, of course, a custom background soundtrack.
The interface in CyberLink PowerDirector is divided into four main tabs (Capture, Edit, Produce and Create Disc), all of them pretty self-explanatory. As for the Edit part in CyberLink PowerDirector – the most complex one – it features the standard design in video editing tools, with a library window to browse your media collection, a timeline to drag and drop elements and a preview window to check what your creation looks like when you put all the elements together.
CyberLink PowerDirector includes all the necessary tools for the whole creative process, from assisting you in with the very first step (capturing video from several different sources) to adding the final touches to your creation, such as a totally customizable DVD-style menu.
When you're done, CyberLink PowerDirector lets you save your video on your hard drive in different formats, publish it to YouTube straight away, share it on Facebook or output it to a camcorder.
Most recently, CyberLink PowerDirector has been updated to include ways to share your creations via DirectorZone and 3D editing tools to create stunning 3D movies.
With CyberLink PowerDirector you can easily create multimedia presentations with video, photos and music.

RealPlayer 16.0.3.51-A veteran multimedia player that's begining to lose its shine
Download
RealPlayer is one of those media players that seems to have been around since the very beginnings of the web.
Features
These days, it's an app that attempts to be all things to all people - play DVDs, organize music, catalog photos, convert video, interact with social networking sites, browse internet multimedia....there's no end to what RealPlayer offers to its users. Even so, it's not an out-and-out success...
Usability
For a start, installation of RealPlayer is annoying - it takes a while, requires lots of "nexts" and tries to install and enable several features that users don't really need. Finally, when it starts, you're offered a chance to upgrade to paid versions of RealPlayer before you have to register yourself with Real Networks. If all this messing around doesn't appeal, check out a slimline app like UMPlayer.
When you're up and running, RealPlayer features a wide interface where you will notice ads and videos recommended by Real Networks. This looks cluttered and messy, and it's hard to know what the app actually offers. In reality, RealPlayer is ideal for playing and sharing video with your friends and followers on Facebook and Twitter and it works easily with BlackBerry, iPod, iPhone and other game systems. The new video converter allows you to copy online video to your iPod, Xbox, PS3 and other devices. Unfortunately, you can't rip DVDs with RealPlayer, although this is available as a feature if you upgrade to RealPlayer Plus.
Most recently, RealPlayer has been updated with far better mobile and social networking integration. You can now copy your favorite videos to an iPhone, iPad, Android, BlackBerry and dozens of other popular devices automatically. Downloading internet videos is faster, and for those of you with something to hide, RealPlayer offers a new Private folder. Social media has also been bumped up, with direct access to Facebook videos and usefully, a built-in feature to transfer videos to your mobile devices.
Quality
That said, RealPlayer isn't bad at all. It's comparable to Windows Media Player 12 as they both have some impressive ways of organizing your music. For me, the best feature is the CD burner which is something I've used from the early days of RealPlayer. The sheer quality of some of the media only available in Real formats makes RealPlayer an essential item in the toolkit of any fan of internet video and audio.
Conclusion
There's no shortage of media players theses days, and RealPlayer is by no means a bad option. It offers lots of features, good options and is a high-quality player that will do justice to your media. The only problem is that despite its modern features, it feels like a bit of a dinosaur. It's heavy and slow, looks chunky and takes an age to respond to clicks, and for many people - especially those who have experience of lighter options - it's just not the most comfortable player.
RealPlayer is a media player that, although powerful, has suffered from serious feature-creep over the years.

Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO 1.75.0.1300-Malwarebytes gets serious
Download
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO fights viruses, spyware and other threats. Fast analysis, real-time protection and an online blacklist feature make it a security app to be taken seriously.
Declare war on malware
As you'd expect, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO scans your system looking for viruses, spyware, malware, keyloggers and more. Of course, these scans can be automated or initiated on demand, if you'd like more control. The app will create whitelists, show you a scan log at the end of the process and will quarantine anything it thinks is suspicious, waiting for your assessment.
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO, unlike the free version, offers real-time protection and can be considered a "real" antivirus, rather than a handy tool. It also protects you from suspicious sites when you are browsing the web, has extensive scheduling functions and the ability to prioritize tasks.
It's all just a click away
Although it's not breaking any records for appearance, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO is clean, clear, and sensibly organized into a tab structure, meaning you'll find it very easy to move around.
A choice of scan options
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO offers you 3 scanning options - fast, complete and flash. The latter just scans the memory and automated processes.
If you want to analyze a single file, just use the on-demand option that you'll find has appeared in the context (right-click) menu.
We found the scan engine to be quick, but we thought the detection rate could be improved. It doesn't detect rootkits, but instead offers a separate tool. For a pro version, we''d like everything to be included in the main app.
Activating the trial version
There are two ways to activate Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO's trial version:
1. If you've already installed the free version, open it and go to Security and then Start Test.
2. If this is the first time using Malwarebytes Anti-Malware, choose "Activate your free trial of Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO during the installation process.
Our verdict
Compared to the free version, Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO is a serious - and complete - anti-virus. The real-time protection and suspicious sites protection make it a valuable ally for people who spend lots of time online. It's also easy to use, which makes it a good choice for less-experienced users.
Even so, we felt the design and detection rate could be improved, things that caused Malwarebytes Anti-Malware PRO to lose a few points in our scoring.

Microsoft Access 2010 2010-The powerful database application from Office
Download
Microsoft Access is the powerful database application from the Office 2010 Suite. It's designed to be used by professionals and novices alike.
For years, Microsoft Access was one of their most arcane and inaccessible applications, but it's now much easier to work with. Instead of complex commands, you can drag and drop data into ready-made templates. It's powerful enough for large organizations, as well as being easy enough to use for smaller businesses and nonprofit organizations.
Microsoft Access is also helped by its total integration with the other Office applications, meaning importing from Word or Excel is painless and easy. Like all of the current Office suite programs, with Microsoft Access you can create files that can be simultaneously used by multiple people. There is also help for creating formulas in databases, meaning you don't need to be an expert to do it.
Microsoft Access 2010 maintains all the power of previous versions, while introducing the user friendly and attractive interface that makes Office such a great suite.

Microsoft Office OneNote 2010-Effectively organize your notes and information
Download
Microsoft Office OneNote is a powerful tool to help you organize your life. Besides organizing text notes, the application allows you to insert images, audio and video into your notes.
Using Microsoft Office OneNote feels very much like working with a regular notebook, and the interface adopts a very natural approach. You can click anywhere on the page and start typing.
OneNote instantly inserts a box around what you're typing, into which you can insert items such as audio, links, sound, documents, email addresses and more.
You can pick things up and drag them to anywhere on the page.
Improving your productivity
It takes a while to find your feet with Microsoft Office OneNote because of the sheer scale of the app.
There are plenty of useful productivity-enhancing tools to discover, though. For instance, you can draw onto your documents using pens and highlighters, and clip snippets from web sites to insert into your notes.
You can tag notes with all manner of preset tags, which compliments Microsoft Office OneNote's powerful search functionality.
Managing your notebooks with Microsoft Office OneNote is very straightforward.
You can create multiple notebooks, allowing you to have separate ones for work, home or studies. These show up in the form of tabs running down the side of the page.
Each notebook in Microsoft Office OneNote can be divided into as many sections as you like, which take the form of differently colored tabs above the page.
Sharing your notes
The sharing capabilities of Microsoft Office OneNote are excellent. You can sync the documents online and share them with friends, colleagues or business associates (even if they don't have OneNote installed).
Furthermore, the application can be synced with Microsoft Outlook to schedule tasks in your calendar of time-related documents you've created.
Microsoft Office OneNote borrows the impressive spelling and grammar checking from Word, and it also allows you to translate highlighted text.
A thesaurus is available in English, French, German, Arabic, Spanish and Dutch.
Don't be put off by the daunting nature of the app.

Zulu Professional DJ Software 2.41-Digital music mixing tools for bedroom DJs
Download
Zulu DJ is a music app for PCs that lets you create your own playlists so you can try your hand at being a DJ.
Have you thought about DJ-ing but weren't sure where to start? Zulu DJ software is a functional, and simple music app that will get you started with minimal fuss.
Zulu DJ features two decks and a panel for your playlist. Users can drag and drop MP3s onto the interface and they'll be added to the playlist. Once they're in the playlist, you can drag tracks into Zulu DJ's decks. Tracks are analyzed as you load them, so when you play them you'll be told the beats per minute (bpm).
Controls on the Zulu DJ interface are pretty basic and self explanatory, meaning users shouldn't have a problem getting started. There are a couple of obvious features missing though, and the main one is that it's not possible to drag the wave display manually in order to find the exact spot you want to start a track. It's possible to select start points, but it's not very easy or accurate.
While it's too basic for professional DJs, Zulu's great for amateurs who just want to mess around. The Sync button will match your track's bpm, making smooth transitions really easy. You can also set up your own hot keys for most of the features of Zulu DJ Software. The virtual play buttons are a bit less responsive though.
Zulu DJ boasts simplicity and is a good starting point for any budding DJs out there.

K-Lite Codec Pack Basic 10.0.0-Play almost every media format
Download
K-Lite Codec Pack Basic is one of the most versatile media content packs available for users anywhere.
The K-Lite Codec Pack Basic comes in three separate versions for different tiered users. From the simple basic pack, which includes the most common video and audio codecs and includes subtitle support, the K-Lite Codec Pack Basic version will allow the majority of users to watch and listen to their content with relative ease.
One main difference of K-Lite Codec Pack Basic is that it does not include Media Player Classic Home Cinema . This simple media player is the easiest to use, but not necessary in K-Lite Codec Pack Basic. Windows Media Player is more than enough for the small amount of codecs in this set.
K-Lite Codec Pack Basic’s functionality is also directly connected to the hardware specifications of the system it is running on, so do not expect to be able to easily play high definition content with smooth framerates even though K-Lite Codec Pack Basic is able to render the files.
The most common codecs like DirectShow, MKV decoders, and MP4 decoders are installed in K-Lite Codec Pack Basic so there is not much more needed for every day viewing. Even though K-Lite Codec Pack Basic supports audio, it is meant for video. With the numerous video codecs and encoders creating files that are high quality with smaller file sizes, native Windows support does not exist for all the variations.
The different tested content in K-Lite Codec Pack Basic included MP4, AVI, WMV, and MKV; all at different levels of quality and resolutions. The codec pack had no problem playing any of the files in Windows Media Player. K-Lite Codec Pack Basic also supports different subtitle formats like SRT, SUB, and IDX, but take a little customizing for the subtitles to display properly.
K-Lite Codec Pack Basic is the perfect set of third-party codecs that are not natively supported in Windows.

Format Factory 3.1.1-Free audio and video converter for mobile devices
Download
Format Factory is a free, fully-featured, converter that enables you to convert audio, video, and even images, between the most popular formats.
Features
Format Factory's supported formats include WMV, AVI, MPG, MP3, WMA, AAC, JPG, PNG, GIF, and many more. Better still, Format Factory supports media formats used by most major portable devices, including PSP and iPhone.
Usability
The app is very easy to use, although it does have a slightly unintuitive interface. Format Factory's file browser doesn't appear until you select the target format, which is a bit weird, but as long as you know this it's no problem. You can select individual files to convert, or complete folders, and also tweak some basic conversion settings.
Quality
Format Factory isn't particularly original but what makes it really useful is that it handles images as well as audio and video. Most converters like this only handle audio and video, so adding images to the mix gives it an edge, especially considering it's free. We also like the Audio Joiner in Format Factory, which allows you to take two separate clips, join them together and then convert them. It would've been nice to have preset profiles for mobile conversions, but you can't always have it all in a free app!
What's new

Download
K-Lite Codec Pack Standard is the best all-in-one codec pack available.
There are many different video and audio files formats available. From numerous video formats to the different quality audio files, it takes a lot of time to search individually and install each codec that are being supported.
K-Lite Codec Pack Standard is the easiest and most comprehensive codec pack for users who watch or listen to audio on their personal computers. Including Media Player Classic Home Cinema and a wider array of specified codecs, K-Lite Codec Pack Standard never has a problem playing a video file or audio format. But the playback of certain file types, especially those that are created in high definition need suitable hardware for smooth playback.
Testing using WMV, AVI, MP4, and MKV; K-Lite Codec Pack Standard had no issues playing back the files. There is a small issue with WMV format with the video playing with small image tears. The other formats had no issues.
Media Player Classic Home Cinema is the core of K-Lite Codec Pack Standard and the combination of the multitude of codecs and the simplicity of Media Player Classic Home Cinema allowed for smoother playback than K-Lite Codec Pack Basic.
It is simple to see statistics about videos through Media Player Classic Home Cinema. Subtitle support also exists in K-Lite Codec Pack Standard and with the combination of Media Player Classic Home Cinema; it is even easier to activate the subtitles in video.
K-Lite Codec Pack Standard is the go-to all-in-one codec pack for video users. The interface and functionality is perfect for almost any media format and without being intrusive, there is not a bundle better.
K-Lite Codec Pack Standard will play anything you throw at it – 99% of the time.
