BitDefender USB Immunizer - Prevent Autorun-Based Malware Attacks.

Bitdefender USB Immunizer allows you to immunize your USB storage device or SD card against infections with autorun-based malware. Even if your storage device has been plugged into an infected computer, the piece of malware will be unable to create its autorun.inf file, thus annihilating any chance of auto-launching itself.

The Immunize Computer slider allows you to toggle the autorun feature On or Off for any removable media (except for CD/DVD-ROM devices). If you accidentally plug in an infected USB drive that has not been immunized, the computer will not auto-execute the piece of malware located on the USB storage device.

ViGlance - Get Windows 7 like SuperBar in Windows XP.

Take back control of your task bar! ViGlance simplifies your windows taskbar by organising your programs so that there's clutter. The ultimate upgrade for your Taskbar!

 

Features:

 

Previews of Windows from your Task bar:

Hovering the mouse pointer over an application's Taskbar icon produces a thumbnail window view known as a snapshot. But when you have multiple windows open in Vista, you see only one preview at a time. ViGlance makes this feature is elegant and more efficient. Hover the pointer on an icon, and thumbnails of the programs's windows glide into position above the windows task bar, so you can quickly find the window you're looking for.

 

Pin your favourite applications:

In the past, you could open programs by dragging their icons to the Quick Launch toolbar. ViGlance removes the need for Quick Launch and adds its capabilities into its taskbar. Drag an app's icon from the desktop to the windows taskbar, and ViGlance will pin it there, so you can launch the program from the task bar without having to search the start menu. You can also organise icons in the Taskbar by moving them to new positions!

 

7 Start Orb Replica: 

The start button in Windows XP isn’t very pretty; it’s too big and ugly and its horrible shade of green. ViGlance replaces that horrible oversized start button with a small and efficient start orb. Whilst at the same time delivering a smooth fade transitional rollover effect like that of Windows 7.

 

Recently opened file lists / Jump-lists: 

ViGlance SE2 comes with new feature called jumplists that retrieves your most recently opened documents from several locations on the operating system. Now you can easily access your recently opened files for your opened or pinned programs.
