Protection of privacy on the Internet. JAP uses a single static address which is shared by many ...JAP (called JonDo in the scope of the commercial JonDonym anonymous proxy servers - AN.ON remains free of charge) makes it possible to surf the internet anonymously and unobservably.

Without Anonymization, every computer in the internet communicates using a traceable Address. That means:
the website visited,
the internet service provider (ISP),
and any eavesdropper on the internet connection
can determine which websites the user of a specific computer visits.

Even the information which the user calls up can be intercepted and seen if encryption is not used. JAP uses a single static address which is shared by many JAP users. That way neither the visited website, nor an eavesdropper can determine which user visited which website.

How it works

Instead of connecting directly to a webserver, users take a detour, connecting with encryption through several intermediaries, so-called Mixes. JAP uses a predetermined sequence for the mixes. Such a sequence of linked mixes is called a Mix Cascade. Users can choose between different mix cascades.

Since many users use these intermediaries at the same time, the internet connection of any one single user is hidden among the connections of all the other users. No one, not anyone from outside, not any of the other users, not even the provider of the intermediary service can determine which connection belongs to which user. A relationship between a connection and its user could only be determined if all intermediaries worked together to sabotage the anonymization. more...

The intermediaries (mix providers) are generally provided by independent institutions which officially declare, that they do not keep connection log files or exchange such data with other mix providers. JAP shows the identity and number of organisations in each Mix cascade in detail, and verifies this information by cryptographic means. The users are thus able to selectively choose trustable mix cascades.

Soluto Beta

Soluto Beta 1.1.1433

License:Free
Language:English
Developer:Soluto
OS:WinXP/Vista/7

“Make your computer boot faster”

Soluto is presented as “anti-frustration software”, and it really helps getting rid of frustration – at least the frustration of having to wait while rebooting your PC.

With Soluto you can improve the computer’s start-up time by removing unnecessary applications from the system’s boot-up sequence. But don’t let these technological terms scare you away: Soluto is, in fact, the easiest, simplest start-up analyzer we’ve ever seen.

After installing it, all you need to do to use Soluto is restart your system. The program calculates the time your system takes to boot up completely, and shows you a colorful, animated report divided into three main areas: required components that can’t be removed (in gray), potentially removable components (in orange) and programs you can easily get rid of (in green).

Soluto then gives you two options: either delay the program – that is, running it after boot – or pause the program completely – in other words, running it manually when you need it, not on system start-up. All the graphics, windows and menus in Soluto are nicely animated and feature a clear, minimalist design.

The program also displays as much information about each process as possible, as long as it’s available – though this is not always the case. The only drawback to Soluto, if any, is the lack of any kind of documentation.

Soluto is an excellent system start-up monitor and optimizer that can help you improve the computer’s boot-up time.

Pros

Extremely easy to use
Offer information about each process
Keeps a history of boot-up times
Nicely designed interface

Cons

Not documented

Revo Uninstaller 1.91

Revo Uninstaller 1.91

License: Free
Language: English
Developer: Revouninstaller
OS: WinXP/2003/Vista/7

“Superb free uninstaller for programs you can't remove”

One thing that I've always thought is woefully inadequate in Windows is the Add/Remove Program console in the Control Panel.

Until now, I'd been using CCleaner to remove programs simply because I find it much easier to navigate what's on my system than using Windows default tool. However, Revo Uninstaller has changed all that. Revo Uninstaller is definitely the best uninstaller I've ever used on Windows and allows you to remove even the most stubborn programs.

Using Revo Uninstaller is very simple. As soon as its installed, the main interface displays which programs are installed. Simply select the one you want to remove and Revo proceeds to perform a very through removal process including making a backup point in case anything goes wrong or it removes something you don't want it to.

Revo delves deep into your Registry to remove all entries and other temporary files that most other uninstallers leave behind. At each step, Revo Uniinstaller prompts you to select which files you want to remove. This was the only thing I found a little unintuitive first time round because I selected everything and then clicked "Next" but what you're supposed to do is select everything, click "Delete" to remove them, and then "Next". Once you've done it once though, it's very clear how the procedure works.

There is a Pro version of Revo Uninstaller although the free version is so powerful that I can't see any real need to upgrade to it unless you've simply been unable to remove a program with the free version.

There is very little to fault with Revo Uninstaller. I'd recommend using it to remove all of your programs from now on because it removes all those nasty little files that frequently get left behind.
 

Pros 

Incredibly thorough uninstallations
Delves deep into your registry and temp folders
Very easy to use
 

Cons 

 
Deletion of files stage a bit confusing first time round
Too many buttons along top of interface.

“Browse the web without leaving personal traces”

UltraSurf is a small app that works as a secure filter when you're browsing the web,  preventing the browser from saving information such as history of visited sites and  cookies.

UltraSurf doesn't require installation and can be run from a USB memory stick, which makes  it perfect to carry around in your pendrive and use if you need to browse the web from a  public computer. It works on both Internet Explorer and Firefox, encrypting all of your  internet activity so that third parties can't trace what you have been viewing or doing  online.

The only drawback to UltraSurf is that it is not easy to see if the application is working  properly, and as the default browser is Internet Explorer, it's hard to know if UltraSurf  is doing its job when you switch to an alternative.

With UltraSurf you can now browse the web in a completely safe way without leaving any  traces behind you.

Pros
No installation required
Easy to use
Deletes all browsing traces automatically

Cons
Can slow/complicate browsing

Editors Review:
Reviewed by: Seth Rosenblatt on February 18, 2009

This freeware program promises to encrypt all your Internet connections, but since most public wi-fi access points in the U.S. are open, it's a bit hard to gauge Hotspot Shield's effectiveness. However, the connection itself is a bit wonky.

Once the program is installed, it creates an HTML link on your desktop. Double-clicking on it will open the application in your Web browser, and you'll be taken to a page detailing your Connection Status, IP Address, Server Address, Bytes sent and received, and the duration of the connection. Hotspot Shield is ad supported, so you'll get a big banner ad that lives at the top of every Web page, too. Closing the tab with the app's control panel doesn't disconnect the shield, though: for that, or to reload the control panel, you have to go through the green shield icon that gets loaded into your system tray. Also, there's a 5 GB transfer limit.

Overall, we can't give Hotspot Shield a strong recommendation, but as a last resort it might be worth trying out.
