  • EXCLUSIVE: O&O DiskImage 4 Professional, worth $49.95, FREE this weekend

    oo-box-large.gifEarlier in the week we announced our weekend giveaway, which is O&O DiskImage 4 Professional, worth $49.95, for FREE. This offer runs between midday Friday and midnight Sunday 11 of April. Make sure you download before the promotion ends and obtain your serial code as you won’t be able to register outside the promotional period.

    O&O DiskImage 4 Professional
    is powerful disk backup and restore software that will enable you to make a complete backup of a drive or drive partition. However, you don’t need to re-run the entire backup on every schedule. Simply select the destination and the existing backup will be added to with updated files, using differential backup. If you ever need to restore your partition, perhaps to a new computer, you can do this in seconds. Just install DiskImage on the new machine, find the backup file and restore to the new partition.

    Note there are separate downloads available for the 32-bit and 64-bit edition.

  • Try this freeware word processing application

    abiword-grab.gifOnce becoming familiar with a certain application, many
    people can
    find it difficult to migrate to an alternative, Microsoft Word being a prime example. That’s not to say
    there aren’t reasons that warrant you moving to an alternative. As with many other office
    applications, Word is an expensive
    piece of software and if you’re on a budget, it’s not always a viable
    option. Other reasons people look for alternatives is that they simply
    do not
    require the features that ship with large applications such as Word.

    AbiWord
    2.8.3

    is a free word processor that recognises and enables you to open,
    edit and
    save Word documents. The application itself is obviously not
    as
    feature rich as Word, but it still offers extensive functionality, more
    than enough for the average user but in a smaller package. There are also free plug-ins
    available via the AbiWord website.

  • EXCLUSIVE: O&O DiskImage 4 Pro, worth $49.95, for free from Friday

    oo-box-large.gifWhereas a few years ago we’d only need to backup a few files and important folders, with many of us downloading and storing digital media on our hard drive, it makes more sense to run a complete drive backup, to keep the data secure. The best way to do this is to use a drive backup tool with differential support, so you can run a complete backup of an important partition, then make sure only the latest changes are updated, next time you run a backup routine.

    O&O DiskImage 4 Professional
    is one of the best drive backup and restore tools and we’re giving you the full version, worth $49.95, completely FREE, as from midday GMT, this Friday. The promotion will run until midnight GMT, this Sunday. During this period you will be able to download, register and activate the product. Outside the promotional period, you will not be able to register or activate.

    Note that you do not get the Professional Boot CD with the FREE version of O&O DiskImage 4 Professional. Remember to check back midday Friday to download the software.

  • Why not try this user-friendly torrent client

    Comet-grab.gifAlthough many Internet users now benefit from a more reliable broadband connection, a torrent client may still be a more effective way of downloading larger
    files. For those who aren’t familiar with torrent
    files, they are simply files that have been separated into smaller pieces, arriving from different locations, and reassembled on arrival. Like a download manager, a
    good torrent client will enable you to control all aspects of file
    sharing, from downloading and sharing to queuing and setting speed
    limits.

    BitComet 1.20
    is a free file sharing tool that’s BitTorrent compatible and designed
    to help you manage all aspects of torrent download and file management. Use it to
    queue, pause and resume downloads. Although it’s very similar to
    BitTorrent, it’s interface is easier to use.

  • Paragon CampTune 7.5 for Mac, free from the Software Store

    200-paragoncamptune.gifInstall Windows on your Mac and you have to configure the size of the Windows partition, when you first configure your Bootcamp installation. It’s all-too-easy to define this partition on the small side, as we believe we’ll get rid of Bootcamp and move back to our Mac, at a later date. However, we believe that if you’re going to go through the hassle of configuring a Windows partition, installing Bootcamp and then Windows, you’re a pretty determined Windows user.

    For that reason, you’ll need the flexibility of re-configuring your Windows/Mac partitions, after you’ve created Bootcamp, installed Windows and have dual-booted between both operating systems. Normally you can’t alter your Windows partition from the Mac and vice-versa.

    Paragon CampTune for Mac 7.5 is a tool you can use to create a bootable CD that quickly and easily enables you to re-configure your Windows/Mac Bootcamp partition. Allocate more space to the Windows partition or remove some and give it back to the Mac partition.

    We’ve got the full version of Paragon CampTune for Mac v7.5, worth $19.95, in the V3.co.uk Software Store, until midnight GMT Saturday.

  • Easily defragment your drive with IObit SmartDefrag

    iobit_smartdefrag-thumb-150x107.gifA new computer will seem to perform tasks effortlessly when compared to your previous machine. Mostly
    because the hardware installed on your new machine is undoubtedly
    superior to your previous computer, but another factor may be that your machine has not yet accumulated clutter from
    unused files and folders. As this unwanted data accumulates, even the
    fastest machine will eventually slow down, and left unchecked, could
    lead to a fragmented hard drive.     

    IObit SmartDefrag 1.45
    enables users to easily maintain an error free, smooth running machine. This simple defragging
    tool enables you to arrange and consolidate space on your drive to
    improve overall performance. This will potentially help applications to
    run more efficiently and reduce the time it takes your system to boot
    amongst other improvements.
