Oxelon Media Converter does what it says on the tin, with no extra functions or features.

Panda Antivirus Pro 2010 Free Download

The most common complaint about antivirus software is that it can make any brand-new, state-of-the-art computer run like it's 1989 again. This is why it's a pleasure to report Panda Antivirus Pro 2010 doesn't noticeably slow down the PC.

As with most antivirus software though, the installation is quite lengthy, and any other antivirus tools present on your system must be uninstalled. Once completed, and after the ubiquitous Windows restart, Panda Antivirus Pro 2010 launches with a nicely-designed, minimalist interface from which you can configure the program, perform system scans, and view reports and statistics, among other options.

When tested against standardized virus attacks, Panda Antivirus Pro 2010 stopped infected files immediately and without major interruption of our work. I especially liked the fact the Panda Antivirus Pro doesn't fill up the screen with unnecessary warnings all the time.

The program has an advanced configuration menu, conveniently organized in a tabbed interface. However you probably won't need to tweak them as the program is pretty much ready to start working right after installation. What's more, if there's anything that requires your attention (like definitions requiring an update, or the resident shield being turned off) Panda Antivirus Pro 2010 will let you know right on its main window and enable you to solve it with just one click.

Panda Antivirus Pro is an unobtrusive, efficient and user-friendly antivirus application, giving you protection without ruining your Web-browsing and Windows experience.

Luckily Microsoft also thought about it and has developed the right tool to solve the issue: Windows 7 Easy Transfer.

Files can be password protected for extra security, and transferred in three different ways: with a special Easy Transfer cable, through a network connection or using an external hard disk or USB flash drive. In any case, the process is easy and efficient.

Oh, and you're upgrading to Windows 7 from Windows Vista, you can use Easy Transfer for Vista.

Google Earth 5.1 Beta Free Download

Google's satellite imagery software has truly changed the way we look at the globe. The application lets you zoom in on any part of the world and for some places, observe from a few meters away.

Google Earth not only displaces satellite images but it also includes terrains and sometimes 3D reconstruction of buildings. You can look for directions and businesses, just like in Google Maps and pinpoint areas or draw on maps straight in Google Earth.

Google Earth includes a very wide, and constantly increasing library of layers, which you can add to the map to enrich your experience. You'll find all sorts of information, from historical landscapes to national parks, regions where you can find endangered species or tourist spots. Google Earth will also showcase more news related information such as forest fires or tsunamis.

But Google Earth is not limited to terrain, and with every new version, it adds new sources of satellite imagery and information about other areas in the world. Say you're really into stars; then you should turn to the Space mode and navigate among the constellations. Or, if you prefer exploring the seas, enable the Water surface option and learn all the secrets about oceans and marine creatures. What's more, the latest version lets you travel in time by providing you with a new Historical Imagery function that allows you to see the evolution of certain locations during the past few years.

Moving around in Google Earth is incredibly intuitive thanks to the multiple navigation tools. Some areas will show less information than others, and Google Earth is known to use up a substantial amount of bandwidth, but it remains a fascinating piece of software

Google Earth is as of yet an unequalled application. Browse around the world, zoom into streets, gaze at the stars or dive into the ocean. Millions of possibilities.

Google Talk 1.0 Free Download

Google Talk is a messenger client with a "Web 2.0" feel that makes communicating with other Google users a piece of cake. The program integrates well with many of Google’s other products. You can open it inside of Gmail, add it to your Google Desktop bar, or even manage your Orkut conversations directly from Google Talk.

At first glance, Google Talk (also known as GTalk) follows in the company’s tradition of keeping things simple. All your contacts are automatically loaded from your Gmail account the first time you launch the client. You can start a conversation in a click and keep all of your different chats in separate windows.

Although, Google Talk doesn’t allow you to call phones, it will let you talk with other Google users and even send voicemail if they are offline. Gmail users will appreciate how the chat client is also embedded in your Gmail account, allowing you to chat with other Gmail users instead of sending emails. Google Talk also integrates into the Google Desktop, making it immediately accessible from anywhere on your PC.

Google Talk doesn’t allow you to set an alias but you’ll still be able to set a user picture. Maybe influenced by all the developments in online music like Last.fm, Google integrates Music Trends to your Google Talk. What this means is that you’ll be able to share your musical history with other Google Talk users. You can also set your status as displaying the track playing on your PC.

Google supports the Jabber protocol, so you can chat with friends using Adium, Gaim, iChat or Trillian. You can also connect to your Google Talk account using any of these chat clients. In the future, Google Talk, like most other IM clients, is expected to support Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) meaning you’ll be able to chat and call friends on many more clients like MSN or Yahoo Messenger.

Because it’s such a young chat client, it’s been easy to pinpoint the failings in Google Talk. First of all, Google Talk does not encrypt your conversations or calls, making your discussions available to anyone on the Internet. Many users have also claimed that the Gmail notifications are not very reliable and that Google Talk can suddenly freeze up after you’ve left it on for a while. We also find the user status icons to be too discreet.

Google Talk is not perfect but we think it’s a good bet for the future. As Gmail has shown, Google tends to constantly improve its products so we can expect some exciting improvements soon. The most urgent ones will be to support VoIP to phones, finally encrypt your conversations and to support the SIP protocol. Because of its integration with other Google products, Google Talk is an exciting chat client for Google users. However if you already have a solid chat client and are not a big fan of Google, this application won’t really bring you anything new.
