LastPass<\/strong>
\nPassword manager and a whole lot more<\/p>\n

Now I\u2019ve been using LastPass for the last three-and-a-half years now, and I\u2019m perfectly happy with it. I am perfectly happy with not knowing any of my LastPass generated complex passwords. If someone tied me to a stake and drove bamboos shoots into my toenails, I couldn\u2019t save myself because I really don\u2019t know what my passwords are. Most of them look like this:<\/p>\n

NV88%41LBjaT4<\/p>\n

I love it. Who in the world is going to remember that or guess that? No one. That\u2019s want I want. All I ever have to remember is my master password to LastPass and all my other passwords are unlocked \u2013 but only for me. And when I visit a Web site that requires a username and password, LastPass fills it in for me \u2013 automatically.<\/p>\n

Oh really? You say your browser does that for you? And what happens when your kids, grandkids or someone else uses your browser. Do you have it set up to require a master password before you auto-login to your accounts? Does your browser generate strong, uncrackable passwords? Does your browser have a Secure Notes feature where you can store sensitive information in encrypted form? No? Your browser was free, and so is LastPass so why are you still using your browser\u2019s password manager anyway? If you\u2019re using your browser\u2019s built-in password manager on a laptop, you\u2019re taking an even bigger chance \u2013 unless you\u2019re one of the astute ones who knows how to password protect your browser\u2019s password store. And no we\u2019re not going to tell you how to do that \u2013 because storing your passwords in your browser doesn\u2019t give you the security or the features of LastPass. You still wouldn\u2019t have a password generator \u2013 which generates and remembers complex strong passwords. And you still wouldn\u2019t have a Secure Notes feature.<\/p>\n

If you’re not using a password manager (and we know many of you are not), please don’t put it off any longer. There are no excuses. The freeware version of LastPass will do everything you need a password manager to do, and then some. It works with Windows XP, Vista, Windows 7, and Windows 8 — and yes, it works with both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. And even more importantly, it’s easy to use, easy to figure out, and it works great?<\/p>\n

LastPass is a great password manager – and the freeware version does everything you need a password manager to do.\u00a0Read more about and\/or download LastPass by visiting this page.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Come on, people! Really, it’s time to shore-up those defenses. You need passwords even you can’t remember…let LastPass remember them for you. It never forgets!<\/p>\n

Photoscape
\n<\/strong>A professional quality photo editor<\/p>\n

If photo and image editing is something you like to do, or need to do, or want to learn to do, you can\u2019t go wrong with Photoscape. It\u2019s free, it\u2019s easy-to-use, and it has many of the features you\u2019ll find on programs costing $50.00 or more. But, you, my friend, don\u2019t have to cough up a single dime for Photoscape.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re so sorry that the developer of this program has chosen to clutter up his pages with all sorts of download buttons that download all sorts of worthless, even harmful things. We\u2019re sorry but we\u2019re not even going to send you to the developer\u2019s site to get Photoscape.\u00a0\u00a0You can download it from SnapFiles<\/a><\/span><\/strong>\u00a0… but please read the notice on SnapFiles about 3rd-party software. Photoscape’s installer – at times – tries to install 3rd-party software during installation. Please use care when installing and make sure you uncheck any pre-checked promotional software or other 3rd-party software.\u00a0 . Photoscape is a 20.6 MB download. Photoscape works on Windows 7,\u00a0 Windows 8x, and Windows 10 and on both 32 and 64-bit computers.<\/p>\n

PLEASE NOTE: We have NOT tested this program since 05\/16\/2013.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Geek Uninstaller
\n<\/strong>Uninstalls programs completely<\/p>\n

We all know that when we use Control Panel’s uninstall a program feature, it simply runs the program’s own uninstaller. In most cases, this is guaranteed to leave dozens of files behind on your computer and in your registry. Who needs all that junk? That’s why we’ve been recommending you use a good uninstaller for years. And for years we have recommended Revo Uninstaller (free version). But we think Geek Uninstaller is a little better because it’s faster and it’s easier to use. This is not to take anything away from Revo.<\/p>\n

Geek Uninstaller is as simple to use selecting the program you want to remove from a list and double-clicking it to start the uninstallation process. Also, another feature we like in Geek is the forced uninstallation. This comes in handy when a program\u2019s uninstaller is missing – which seems to happen all too frequently.<\/p>\n

Geek Uninstaller comes in two flavors, a free version and a paid version. The free version will do everything you need it to do. And so today, we’re listing Geek Uninstaller as one of our top ten freeware picks of all time. Yay for Geek!<\/p>\n

You can get more information and\/or download Geek Uninstaller from\u00a0http:\/\/geekuninstaller.com\/<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Geek comes as a zip file. No installation is required. Just unzip it and click on Geek.exe . If you’re wise, you’ll right-click on Geek.exe and choose “Pin to start menu”. If you’re using Windows 7 or Windows 8, you can also choose “Pin to taskbar”. If you’re really persnickety, you can right-click and choose “Send to” “Desktop (create shortcut)”.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
