LOK-IT USB Storage Device Control successfully minimizes the chance of confidential data breach by locking out USB drives. The application quietly runs in the background and will disable any USB storage device when attached to your computer unless the device is on the application's white list.

Though the download checks in at about 2MB, setting it up may take a while. Upon startup, the program prompts you to make an account and sign in, but you don't have to if you're just looking to use the app on a local computer. LOK-IT USB Storage Device Control works … Read more

Encoding Decoding Free Portable isn't the easiest file locker to use, but it offers plenty of strong features. Its major downfall is that the files only work inside of this program once they're locked. You'll probably be fine with this once you see all the program can do.

Since this is a portable program, there's no installation needed and you can take it with you on a USB drive. The program supports regular file importing and drag-and-drop importing, too. Even though its layout is something out of a '90s sci-fi film, don't mistake it for … Read more

Packed in a polished, professional-looking package, Moo0 Audio Converter gives you fast conversions, but doesn't sacrifice any of your original file's audio quality. It is light and powerful enough to remain the only conversion software you'll ever need.

Size-wise, this download is about middle of the road at almost 9MB. It installs and unpacks very quickly, though. Once you open it, you're greeted by a very clean menu. You can drag and drop your files, or search them out through the traditional process. Once you load a file or files, Moo0 Audio Converter goes to work … Read more

Disketch Disk Label Software lets you import images or your own designs for developing more custom made CD, DVD, and Blu-ray disk labels. Even though it doesn't offer too many options it's easy to use and could help you create disk labels on your own in just a few, easy steps.

During the installation, Disketch Disk Label Software tries to download a bunch of companion apps and toolbars. Skip the toolbars as you certainly don't need these, but perhaps consider downloading companion apps such as PhotoPad Image Editor or Express Burn CD Burner. Once the installation completes, … Read more

MultiWall offers thousands of wallpaper downloads and lets you do more with them. You can rotate, cycle, and even switch them on a set schedule. The best part is that it supports multiple monitors, which many programs can't promise.

With MultiWall, you get dozens upon dozens of wallpaper downloads that you can put into a rotating list. You can change them and cycle them as often as once every minute to once a week. All of the wallpapers are in a very high resolution, but they can be cropped to fit your monitor, automatically. The program is a bit … Read more

Ultra Passwords gives the user control over their password collection by storing it in a hidden, proprietary database powered by the Borland Database Engine. While mostly functional, the program doesn't seem to have the whole UI translated into English.

Ultra Passwords opens to a rather confusing interface where some information doesn't seem to be written in English, i.e. "Libelle" is a field that is not explained. The program requires that you choose a category for the secure Web site, type in your username, password, and Web site address, and then save that password in the … Read more

Instagrille for Pokki is a hybrid Instagram-focused tool that is useful but also frustrating in terms of its requirements. Because it forces installation of Pokki, creates irremovable quick launch icons, and creates a native app-interface on your PC that you may not want, it has its trade-offs, though the interface is decidedly stripped down, offering a useful way to browse Instagram on your desktop.

Installation will take some time as you need to also install Pokki and new menu items are created as the app-interface is generated on your desktop. To open Instagrille, you must open Pokki first and find … Read more

COBRA Snipping Tool offers a basic yet effective tool for taking screenshots. While it is miles ahead of the default screenshot tool in Windows, it's perhaps missing some things you'd want. For one, you can't decorate or annotate your screenshot once you've taken it like you would be able to with the default Windows Snipping Tool. There isn't much in the way of customization or adaptability, either.

This download lets you take a screenshot of your entire screen or a specific selection. You can turn the selection tool to any color, so it's always … Read more

TouchPal Contacts isn't a great dialer, but it does offer some cool ways to block calls and texts. If that's what you're looking for, this app is a good way to do it. However, the app's name suggests a different focus, which is confusing at best and downright misleading at worst.

This app doesn't offer a new way to view your contacts like Current Caller ID or Contacts+. Instead, it manages who can contact you through blocking calls and numbers. You can block plenty of different numbers with the app and even set it to … Read more
