Voice Changer Software Free Download

Labels: 0 comments

AV Voice Changer Software is designed to let you alter your voice, to make it funny or at least unrecognizable.

The application can alter your voice live, as you speak into a microphone, and also alter recordings and audio streams. The demo is very limited in what you can do, but gives you a good idea of how it can morph your voice.

The fastest way to change your voice is to plug in your microphone and click 'nickvoices', which gives you a range of presets. For example, if you're male, you can choose things like Baby, Prudent Girl, Schoolmistress or Old Woman. It has to be said that to our ears most of these sound fairly similar, and unrealistic. You can alter the pitch, tone and frequency of your voice manually in the full version.

Nevertheless, the results are quite amusing even if they won't convince someone you are not who you say you are (probably a good thing). The interface is a bit awkward, and the demo is severely hampered by a nag message reminding you to buy the full version every single time you click on a button not active in the demo. This makes using the demo quite annoying, but with some patience, AV Voice Changer Software can be quite fun.

If you want to sound like you're breathing helium, but don't have any to hand, AV Voice Changer Software is a much safer and easier option.

Yugma - teleconferencing software Free Download

Labels: 0 comments

One of the problems with teleconferencing software is that it either performs poorly, costs a lot of money, or only works on one platform.

I'm pleased to say that isn't the case with Yugma which is quite simply the best teleconferencing and screen sharing software I've tried. Yugma makes it extremely easy to conduct video teleconferences long distances and in this free version, there's a generous allowance of up to 20 different users sharing at one time. Even better, it doesn't matter if the participants are based on Windows, Mac or Linux - it works on all platforms. Whether you want to conduct a meeting or simply help someone troubleshoot technical problems on their computer, its ideal.

To start a session on Yugma, you need the host to send you an invite code. The procedure to start a meeting is very simple. In the login panel, you have two options - Start Meeting and Join Meeting. You need to have signed-up for a Yugma account to do both, the page for which can be found in the registration link below. If you're joining a meeting, the host will send you a 9 digit code either via Skype or e-mail which you can use to share the users screen. New participants can be added at any time. If you're using Yugma to troubleshoot problems on someone's computer, a new "Take Control" feature allows you to take over control of their machine.

The stability of Yugma is excellent and only rarely will you experience the odd timeout but usually, within a few seconds, the connection is reestablished. The only downside is that this version of Yugma doesn't support audio but if you need to speak, simply use Skype at the same time as Yugma.

Yugma is an excellent application for anyone that needs to perform free and fast teleconferencing, screen-sharing or troubleshooting.

FEBE (Firefox Environment Backup Extension) 6.3.2 Free Download

Labels: 0 comments

The worst part of buying a new computer is the fact that you have to backup your stuff in the old PC and move it all to the new one. Luckily there are some software apps that can help you with that.

One of them is FEBE, which stands for Firefox Environment Backup Extension. As it name states, this Firefox add-on lets you create a backup copy of all the important information in your browser (bookmarks, extensions, preferences, themes, cookies and more) and restore it in a different location, all in a very easy way.

With FEBE you can then have a perfectly synchronized copy of Firefox in each one of your computers, be it your desktop and laptop or home and office computers. It's also a great tool to have a backup copy of your browser just in case it crashes or if you want to test new versions without taking any risks. And if you can't be bothered creating a backup copy by yourself, use FEBE's scheduling tool and let the extension take care of it.

FEBE is seamlessly integrated into Firefox interface: open the Tools menu and you'll be able to access the extension's options menu and main functions. The only drawback we could find to the extension is the sounds played by the program when displaying any warning: they're a bit annoying so remember to turn them off in the settings menu.

If you want to have a complete backup copy of all your Firefox data or need to move Firefox settings from one PC to another, this is the tool you're looking for.

Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare Pc games free download

Labels: 0 comments

Call of Duty has established itself as one of the greatest game series ever. With consistently improving graphics and AI, one of the only real criticisms it has faced of late was the repetitive nature of its setting. World War II is a fascinating, multi-theatre world for games to approach in many ways: but how about something different? Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare is the answer to that request. This game plunges you head-first into a present-day battlefield, even more fast-paced than its predecessors.

This demo offers you one mission from the full version of the game, where you play Sergeant Paul Jackson, of the US Marines. You're dispatched to save a tank which has become waylaid during its mission against a rebel leader in Saudi Arabia. Like any good demo, the mission features a range of combat situations, including the use of anti-tank weapons, the destruction of an anti-aircraft battery and at least one seriously fast-paced, confusing fire fight.

The graphics in COD4 are top notch, and we didn't notice any lag even at higher-end settings. COD4 is built on a new proprietary engine which offers much better support for up-to-the-minute lighting effects, clearly visible in this test mission. Another aspect of the new engine makes for a really interesting change to gameplay. Some forms of cover (a light wooden fence, for example), won't offer you much protection like they did in years gone by. While buildings are not destructible, many elements of the environment (like cars and, yes, light wooden fences) are easily destroyed with gunfire. Heavier weapons can cut through heavier cover too, "Shoot them through the wall!" you're ordered at one point.

All this added realism makes the general quality of gameplay really high. We noticed great improvements in AI, even on easier levels of difficulty where previous games may have left you feeling somewhat silly. In fact, COD4 was surprisingly good, especially when there had been some negative reaction to the XBOX 360 beta.

Fast paced, intense and varied: awesome graphics and involving gameplay make Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare a must-have for any self-respecting gamer.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus 2010 9.0.0.736 Free Download

Labels: 0 comments

Antivirus is the kind of software that you need to use for an extended period of time in order to fully test its features and capabilities. Still, after having tested Kaspersky Antivirus 2010 only for a few hours, you already get a positive impression.

Like other similar apps, Kaspersky Antivirus 2010 takes you through a lengthy installation process, including the eventual removal of any non-compatible security software. Once launched, Kaspersky Antivirus 2010 will not only take care of your file system, but also your email, web browsing and even IM conversations. All these filters can be tweaked in the program's comprehensive settings menu.

Kaspersky Antivirus 2010 offers four different scanning modes: Full scan, Quick scan, Start Objects scan and Vulnerability scan. Each one of them can be triggered manually or set to run according to a customizable schedule. The program also includes the so called Proactive Defense, a special module that protects your system in real time and can take care of any suspicious behavior right on the spot.

Besides being an antivirus, Kaspersky Antivirus 2010 features a few extra security tools, with which you can create a rescue disk, tune up your browser settings and erase user activity traces, among other tasks.

Regarding system resources, Kaspersky Antivirus 2010 seems to be quite light on them. On the downside, the program is constantly showing reminders to encourage you to upgrade to the full version, and slows down the start-up time of other apps – due to the perceptive scanning.

All in all, Kaspersky Anti-Virus is a nice program. It protects you in real time and lets you scan your system for possible vulnerabilities. It's a suitable tool for all levels of users - clear enough for the less experienced, while also offering serious customization options for the more tech-savvy.

Kaspersky Anti-Virus offers a complete protection against virus, Trojans and worms for your file system, email and web browsing.

AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition 9.0.730 Download

Labels: 0 comments

Security is one of the main concerns among computer users. This is why it's important to have reliable applications that you can count on to protect our systems and data from potential dangers.

Sometimes free security apps are regarded as being less safe but you might change your mind after testing AVG Anti-Virus.

AVG Anti-Virus is one of the handiest antivirus systems I've seen so far (and believe me, I've tested a few). Being a smaller application, AVG may not feature such a wide range of tools or utilities as the other antivirus programs do. However, it makes up for it by offering a neat, effective protection which stays silently minimized in your system tray and only activates when needed.

This is precisely one of the best things about AVG Anti-Virus. It works completely in the background, without the need of half the system resources and of course, without constantly bothering you with warning windows or update messages. You can just go on with your work and you won't even notice you have an antivirus application up and running. Being the free version of a complete program, AVG Anti-Virus shows the odd nagging notification encouraging you to buy AVG Professional which may annoy the more sensitive users.

AVG Anti-Virus features real time system protection against viruses and spyware, an email scanner (which doesn't prevent spam from coming into your mailbox though its spam filter is a Pro-only feature) , special plug-ins for Office and a browser toolbar that lets you browse the web safe and sound. Bear in mind though that this toolbar changes your default browser to Yahoo!, and also customizes your new tab page. Luckily you can revert both changes.

The whole package should be enough to ensure you're not infected with any virus. Also, the program integrates seamlessly with Windows Explorer, thus allowing you to scan files from their context menus. AVG Anti-Virus's database is automatically updated on a daily basis, so you're always protected even from the most recently discovered threats. The program supports scheduled scans as well.

AVG Antivirus remains a perfect security solution for the average computer user, providing quite a powerful weapon against viruses.

uTorrent (µTorrent) 2.0 Build 17920 Free Download

0 comments

uTorrent is one of the most popular BitTorrent clients out there for several reasons: it's fast, lightweight, easy to use and very efficient. And after the release of its long-awaited version 2.0, we can say with certainty that it's going to stay that way.

After a quick installation process and a handy built-in speed test to make the initial setting much easier, uTorrent is ready. The program takes up minimal hard drive and PC resources, which enables you to have a good amount of torrents downloading and still be able to use your computer without any lag.

uTorrent's lightness and simplicity doesn't necessarily mean lack of features. On the contrary, the program includes everything you would expect from a complete, reliable torrent downloader: highly detailed stats, support for RSS feeds, automatic shutdown, download scheduler and more. There are a couple things that uTorrent is missing though: a full torrent search tool and a built-in player to preview your downloads.

The interface is probably one of uTorrent's greatest assets: the clean, simple design makes it really easy to use and at the same time offers all the information you need about your downloads. You can browse torrents according to their status, organize them with labels and check the current transfer speed in just a few clicks.

If you're searching for a reliable, fast and lightweight torrent client, look no further: uTorrent is what you need.

  • A new transfer cap feature has been added to track bandwidth usage, along with graphs to show your usage.
