    Special

    Not Really Security Related, but a bunch of fantastic programs.
    AntiCrash 3.6.1 --> Is able to Intercept and prevent programs from crashing, as well as "Unfreeze" Programs which are not responding. Really working and worth using.

    BatteryDoubler 1.2.1 --> I use this when I'm on battery, it theorically can boost the battery life to 200%, although It shows 71% with my PC. It works too, I can use the computer ~a hour more with this.

    Hare 1.5.1-->Improves performance with Memory and CPU Tweaks. Normally it's more for Gamers.

    The title is funny because I realized that on both of my computers, I am obly using products no longer made.

    SafeSpace which is a product that was never given the credit deserved

    88 BIT emulation by tripling 32 bit? Have you actually tested Hare 1.5.1?

    Sounds like bogus to me :doubt:

    Sorry for the Off Topic question

    Who cares
    I don't know much about the technical details, but I do notice an improvement when using it (normally when using more than a program at the same time).

    Returnil and XP pro SP3 is my newest attempt to simplify surfing.

    So far it is working very well and over 2 months and no malware that can't be defeated with a simple reboot!!! ;)
