Ashampoo Internet Accelerator 3

Tue, 30 Nov 2010 09:01:40 Z

Many windows settings work in harmony in order to get the best out of an available internet connection. Unfortunately, the factory design of these settings means that they are often not optimised for a particular connection type, or they are adjusted by a newly installed software product unasked. The consequences are plain to see: the computer can’t get the best out of your internet connection. As a user, this means you have to wait longer until web pages have loaded in your browser or until internet downloads are finished.

For beginners and for most professionals, it simply isn’t possible to find the settings necessary for the fine tuning of the internet in the registry – let alone to edit them. No problem: the Ashampoo Internet Accelerator will be pleased to complete this job for you!
Step on the accelerator: and enjoy faster internet surfing
A slow internet connection costs time and gets on your nerves. For this reason, taking the time to optimise the settings is almost considered a must – particularly since an optimisation in terms of speed doesn’t come with any additional cost, neither for a hardware extension nor for the software, as the Ashampoo Internet Accelerator 2 can be used completely free of charge.

The program allows a fully automatic setting of the most important parameters. To achieve this, communicating the method used for internet access to the Ashampoo Internet Accelerator 2 on the part of the user is sufficient:
Analogue modem
ISDN
DSL via LAN cable or cable modem
DSL via wireless LAN
Other LAN connections (no DSL)
This system means that the program gets the very last drop of performance out of the internet connection. When using a modem and an ISDL connection, the improvements in performance are particularly noticeable – a reason for celebration. With a DSL connection, the tuning result isn’t quite as impressive, as there are fewer things which need adjusting in order to provide an optimisation. Nonetheless, it is still the case here that every percentage of extra performance means better internet surfing.
For professionals: manual adjustment of the settings
It goes without saying that anyone who wants to make manual adjustments can also do these in the Ashampoo Internet Accelerator 2. In this case, the program reads all of the relevant settings and then allows you yourself to activate or deactivate options and / or to change numerical values.

The changes are only accepted at the end of the sequence by hitting the confirmation button. The program will then issue the user a warning, stating that any inappropriate changes completed may also slow down the internet connection.
Free registration
The Ashampoo Internet Accelerator 2 can be used free of charge for 10 days. Subsequent to this time, a free online registration is then required in order to receive an activation code which will convert the test version of the program into a full version which can be used over the long term.

Ashampoo AntiSpyWare 2 Guard

Mon, 11 May 2009 22:52:48 Z

Realtime-protection of all relevant processes Windows® doesn’t offer sufficient protection yet at all to ward off all threats coming from the internet. Hijacker, dialer, spyware tools, worms, adware programs, Trojan horses, key logger and rootkits: Besides typical virus programs, there is a lot of malware that can penetrate the computer as soon as an unsafe internet connection is established.
Ashampoo presents its new protection program Ashampoo AntiSpyWare 2 which offers twice as much protection as the previous version. Having run a full computer scan for possible infections, the program will remove the infected files immediately. A permanent active background scanner will notify you in advance and offer real-time protection for the computer. While connected to the internet the program makes sure that new malware won’t have any chance to enter your system through the back door.
Virus definitions on more than 1,270,000 threats are already included you will be protected against. Virus signatures will be updated online on a regular basis so that your weapon never gets blunt. Thus, securing that even most recent spyware will be safely identified. Heuristic search patterns will repel even malware that is not yet known but will get identified through suspicious actions.
Twice as good as the predecessor Windows Vista™ users now also can make use of the new Ashampoo AntiSpyWare program offering perfect protection against all evil that might come from the internet and which will take possession of your hard drive. This fact shouldn’t be underestimated since Windows Vista™’s onboard-tools don’t offer enough protection to keep spyware threats especially under control. Ashampoo AntiSpyWare 2 locks directly into Windows Vista™ Gadget working as an information and control operation centre for security issues.
A lot has been achieved during the leap from the first version of Ashampoo AntiSpyWare to the second. Everything is twice as good as before from now on. This applies to enhanced real-time protection also. In comparison to the previous version, the protective guard will now have an eye on even more Windows® tasks. Therefore destructive tools, spyware programs and Trojan horse won’t have any chance to settle down on the system since they will already be identified and removed upon their first strike.
In case of infection the program now offers an Online malware database. When Ashampoo AntiSpyWare 2 finds one of the 1,270,000 known threats you will get online information as to the nature of the parasite program and which damage it poses when in real danger.
If you want to exclude certain folders and files from scan control, since the program will give “false alarm” for various reasons, then these paths can be added to a whitelist. Ashampoo AntiSpyWare 2 will not search for potential threats in those files and folders. To prevent malware from secretly adding itself, the whitelist is being encrypted and therefore stored securely.
It has a brand-new multi-user support. Personal settings can be adjusted and stored by every single user when used by several persons. When using the software the next time those settings will be quickly restored.

Modern WindowsÂ® applications are very complicated "beasts". They include large numbers of files that are often saved in many different places, not just in the application's own program directory. In addition to this they also have even larger numbers of settings, sometimes hundreds, which they record in Windows' central database, which is known as the WindowsÂ® Registry. Ashampoo UnInstaller Platinum Suite works by creating two "snapshots" of your system, one before you install an application and another one directly afterwards. These snapshots record the entire status of your computer system, including all registry entries, the locations, dates, sizes and versions of all files and the contents of all configuration files. After creating the second snapshot the program then compares it with the first and records all the differences in a special file called an "installation log file", or "log file" for short. When you tell Ashampoo UnInstaller Platinum Suite to uninstall the application it loads a previously created this log file and uses the information it contains to restore everything on your system to the way it was before you installed the application.

If you want to make more changes all the tools are there at your fingertips. In addition to familiar functions like resize, rotate, crop, cut and copy Ashampoo Magical Snap also includes a set of easy-to-use “MouseTools”:
MouseTools turn your mouse pointer into a miniature graphics editing program. Everything you need is right there around the mouse pointer, including all the relevant buttons and controls. You don’t have to look for anything in complicated menus and dialogs.
MouseTools can erase areas, highlight areas, insert arrows, insert text, draw transparent and filled shapes and create an impressive “spotlight” effect to draw attention to special details.
