			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://system-cleaner.comodo.com/index.html">Comodo System Cleaner</a> is a computer cleanup tool that combines the functionality of registry cleaners, disk cleaners and privacy cleaners in one application. The software can be used to scan the Registry of the computer system for invalid entries, clean temporary and duplicate files from hard drives and to clean privacy related information like log files, last visited locations or histories.</p>
<p>The registry cleaner tool will scan the Windows registry for various invalid entries. Each entry is shown after the scan with the possibility to clean it up. By default a backup of the Registry will be created before any cleaning takes place. It is furthermore possible to schedule regular Registry cleanups or restore a previously created Registry backup.</p>
<p>The disk cleaner is a basic tool that will scan the hard drives of the computer for temporary or duplicate entries giving the user the options to delete those files from the disk. It is nowhere as extensive as tools like <a href="http://www.ghacks.net/2008/10/21/run-ccleaner-with-one-mouse-click/ ">CCleaner</a> offer but it covers the most widely used temporary locations.</p>
<p><span id="more-10875"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/registry_cleaners-500x354.jpg" alt="registry cleaners" title="registry cleaners" width="500" height="354" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-10876" /></p>
<p>The disk cleanup utility can be scheduled like the Registry cleaner can. Filters can be added to include or exclude certain file types from the scans. The privacy cleaner option can be used to remove several privacy related entries from the operating system. Other tools that are provided by Comodo System Cleaner are a disk wiper, a tool to calculate file crc and extensive system settings that match most Windows tweakers out there.</p>
<p>Comodo System Cleaner combines several important system utilities in one application. Users who are looking for tools to cleanup temporary data are currently better of with tools like CCleaner who have the advantage that they can be further customized by the user which Comodo System Cleaner cannot.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>It does not happen very often that we review a software that does not come with an English user interface. The software would have to provide something that no equivalent software would provide. BTF Sniffer is such a tool. It is unfortunately only available in the German language but it should be easy enough to use even for users without German language skills.</p>
<p>BTF Sniffer is at its core a software to display usage traces left by a user on a computer system. Unlike other tools of its kind it displays the traces that it found in its interface. The interface itself is divided into two panes: The left pane displays various types of traces, for instance Microsoft Windows, Internet and Communication or Security and Control. The right pane will display all traces of the specified category. It is important to note that traces will only be displayed for subcategories (that is always the last entry in the tree structure).</p>
<p>What makes <a href="http://home.arcor.de/B.T.F/BTFSniffer/">BTF Sniffer</a> special are the manipulation options. Single entries can be executed, copied, sorted, exported or deleted by right-clicking an entry. It can currently discover more than 1270 traces left by 370 software programs. Besides the obvious Microsoft Windows traces it can for example detect traces from Sysinternal software, ftp applications, web browsers and document viewers.</p>
<p><span id="more-9888"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/btf-sniffer-499x370.jpg" alt="btf sniffer" title="btf sniffer" width="499" height="370" class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-9889" /></p>
<p>The software is portable which means it can be downloaded and run after unpacking it to the computer system. The major problem that English users could run into are the category descriptions but it is usually possible to identify what a category does by looking at the traces in the right pane.</p>
<p>Two functions need explaining. A click on Bearbeiten (Edit) in the top menu will reveal options to clear all categories (Alle Listen löschen) or only selected categories (Ausgewählte Listen Löschen). Reports can be created by clicking on Datei (File) in the top menu and selecting Vollständigen Report erstellen (Export all items in a text document) or Report erstellen (Auswahl) which means to export only the selected items.</p>
<p>Single traces can be manipulated and exported with a right-click. There are additional features but they are not necessary to run the program. If you have any questions about usage let us know and we provide the answers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;m currently using several tools to clean my system, change settings to increase security and privacy, control startup items and tweak system settings to improve performance. Softwares like CCleaner, Xpy, Autoruns and several others do the job just fine with the only minor issue that I have to open them if I want to change specific settings. It would be far easier to use one software to do all of those tasks.</p>
<p>nCleaner is that software. I was not really sure when I read the description, one could say skeptical but I was soon convinced that nCleaner was indeed such a useful software that it will be replacing several other softwares that I have installed on my system. All that with a size of only 875 Kilobytes.</p>
<p>nCleaner pleasantly surprised me at first start by displaying notes and security tips for my system. It told me for instance that uPnP was enabled and that Automatic Downloads were disabled.</p>
<p><span id="more-2022"></span><img src="http://www.ghacks.net/files/screens/2007/09/ncleaner.jpg" alt="ncleaner" /></p>
<p>The main interface lists eight options, those are:</p>
<p><strong>Clean System:</strong></p>
<p>Lets you clean so many files and registry settings that it is hard to keep an overview. Lets you backup your registry as well which is recommended. This menu is divided into Systems &#038; Applications and Registry. The first lists several sections like System Items, Office Applications and Internet Browsers who all have their own submenu with a lot of settings.</p>
<p>It is possible to add cookie exceptions and custom items. This is a comprehensive cleaner replacing CCleaner 2 on my system.</p>
<p><strong>Find Junk:</strong></p>
<p>Scan selected hard drives for all kind of junk &#8211; that is temporary files &#8211; and clean them. It is also possible to find empty folders, files and shortcuts. Again with the option to add more file types. </p>
<p><strong>Tweak:</strong></p>
<p>Two tabs listing general and privacy tweaks starting with &#8216;Don&#8217;t show balloon tips&#8217; and ending with setting the max connections per server for the Internet Explorer to 10. Three profiles can be selected if you do not want to enable or disable the settings by yourself. </p>
<p>The profiles are Suggested, Performance and System Default.</p>
<p><strong>Startup Man:</strong></p>
<p>Enable or Disable items that are loaded during startup. Lists files but also registry entries, services but also system settings.</p>
<p><strong>Real Time System Monitor:</strong></p>
<p>Monitors the system to ensure that at least a selected amount of space if free at any given time. Cleans Temp files and others automatically when that limit is reached.</p>
<p><strong>Shred Free Space:</strong></p>
<p>Deletes all remaining file information on the free space of your hard drive to make it impossible to recover those files and information by normal means.</p>
<p><strong>Settings:</strong></p>
<p>Password protect nCleaner, select an algorithm to shred free space (Gutman 35 pass, Dod 5220.22M with 7 and 5 pass and Random with a custom amount of passes). Many more options and settings are available.</p>
<p><strong>Logs:</strong></p>
<p>Pretty obvious what this does, eh ?.</p>
<p>Ncleaner is great. Enough said. If you do not have it already go get it right now.</p>
