Asterisk Key

Perhaps, like many of us, you have allowed your browser to store a password for a Web site you frequently access, only to realize in time that you've forgotten what the password actually is. Asterisk Key can help--sometimes.

The most important thing to know about Asterisk Key is that it seems to work only with Internet Explorer. We tried it with Firefox and Chrome and had no luck with either. With IE, however, the program works well, if not particularly elegantly. The interface is minimal: just a square with a blank text area and a couple of buttons. To recover a password, users simply open the IE page that contains the password field in question. Click Recover and the program displays the name of the Web site and the decoded password. This tool is pretty bare bones, but it does the job if you need to decode a password saved in Internet Explorer.  We recommend this program to all users.

This reminder program is about as simple and bare-bones as they come. Basically, Memento allows you to append any number of sticky notes to your desktop. The program provides a few pastel-colored templates at random, but you can't select the color yourself or change the font. The tiny notes also can't be resized to a larger view. Right-clicking the application's system-tray icon will let you view all notes at once, and you can generate a new one with a hot key. However, don't expect any extra features such as pop-up reminders or audio alarms. Folks seeking an extremely basic note-taking app for no cost might consider Memento, but it's certainly not for power users.

The Crucial System Scanner automatically analyzes your computer memory information and suggests an upgrade that's guaranteed compatible.

Buying memory on the Internet is usually easy. Online retailers have configurators that allow you to look up your computer by manufacturer and model number. But what do you do if you have a custom-built machine? You might not even know the maker of your motherboard. If that's your case, check out the system scanner from Crucial Technology.

In just a few seconds, you'll get a bunch of information about your motherboard, memory and video card. Of course, Crucial wants to sell you memory or a video card. They're good people--I've bought memory from them. But you can use the information there to buy elsewhere, if you prefer. Computer stores sell memory, and there are a number of memory retailers online, too.

Here is Zone Alarm 5 (May 2004)
If you have DSL or a cable modem, your IP address is permanent. Although this has benefits, it also carries the serious shortcoming of rendering your PC vulnerable to attacks. A firewall, in this respect, becomes not just desirable but a necessity. ZoneAlarm is a top choice, and best of all, the basic version is free.

You can block uninitiated and unwanted traffic, even while your PC is unattended or while you're not using your connection. You can also limit your exposure to attack by specifying which applications can access the Internet. The program also lets you stop e-mail-borne Visual Basic Script worms.

Here is the latest version as of May 2004 (1.3) Search your hard disk for so-called spybots or adbots, the modules that are responsible for showing ads and transmitting information back to vendors. If Spybot Search and Destroy finds such modules, it will remove them or replace them with empty dummies. In most cases, the host software still runs after removing the bot. Among the adbots Spybot targets: Aureate, CLPRS, Comet Cursors, eZula HotText, Gator, GoHip, Radiate, WebHancer, and WildTangent.

Spybot also removes your usage tracks (last visited Web sites, opened files, started programs, and cookies), so even spybots that are unknown can't transmit this private information. The program supports all three major browsers: Internet Explorer, Netscape Communicator, and Opera.
