iDump is a godsend to iPod users who are frustrated with not having enough control over the media files on their iPods. Users of the iPod are inherently unable to copy and store music files between their iPod and different computers with iTunes. This handy iPod hack will allow users to copy songs from an iPod to a PC just as they would copy any other file. It works for all iPod models excluding the new iPod Touch and iPhone. Users can install the iDump in three languages, English, Spanish and German, and periodically check for updates. The entire application exists in a single executable file, which can also be stored and run from users’ iPods or from whichever system that their iPod is connected to. Once an iPod is plugged in, the application will automatically detect it and list each song in a simple flex-grid type user interface, which integrates search filters. Users can specify a destination folder and file naming system for the songs they wish to copy or move. Songs can be sorted according to title, artist, release date, bit rate and iPod file path and even exported to a playlist in standard m3u format. iDump does have some stability issues; the first time it is installed, if an iPod is not plugged to the system, the application will crash. Understandably, it does not automatically re-synchronise songs with iTunes once they have been copied to the hard drive.

Xp Anti Spyware
Microsoft Windows is notorious for “bloatware” and this small tool helps you disable some of these unnecessary services and security features that are often unnecessary. Users can disable the annoying error reporting service that pops up as often as Windows crashes (which is quite often), the Windows Media Player update service, Windows Auto Update service, Remote Desktop Connection service and many more services that even Microsoft admits to being the cause of many security flaws. XP AntiSpy also supports Windows Vista. The user interface lists many potentially flawed features native to Windows XP and Vista. Moving the mouse cursor over the checklist items will display a description of the service, benefits or flaws and recommendations. Users can enable or disable the services and apply the changes across the operating system. The software has the potential to ensure that not a single piece of sensitive data on or about a user’s computer goes beyond its hard disk, including the seemingly innocuous automatic codec/license download for Windows Media Player files.

Mail Washer Free
This is the perfect freeware tool for intermediate and skilled users to get rid of spam and viruses in e-mail before it reaches their inbox and helps protect their privacy. Suited to corporate users, people can manage their e-mails before downloading them and inadvertently triggering any unknown payloads. Instead of checking e-mails for malware or spam as it downloads, it pre-emptively checks mail on a range of servers, including POP3, IMAP and several Web-based e-mail hosts, allowing users to safely examine the contents of the e-mails, instruct the program on what is considered to be spam and passes valid e-mail. It even allows users to bounce back unwanted e-mail, so it appears as though the target e-mail address is no longer valid. MailWasher features blacklists, filters and basic anti-virus capabilities that can automate the task for its users.

GMail Drive
Despite rumours of free, high capacity, online storage from the people who first brought us Web-based e-mail by the gigabytes, the dot com giant has yet to introduce the service, While the service itself would be pleasant to use, why wait when hardcore e-mailers already have more than six-gigabyte Gmail accounts. Thanks to GMail Drive, users can use that Gmail account as a virtual drive right now. GMail Drive is not so much an application as it is an OS shell extension that turns a user’s Gmail account or Google Apps account into a complete virtual file system. While devoid of advanced features, it simply incorporates already-present file system manipulation capabilities of any preferred file explorer. The virtual file system is accessible from any preferred file explorer of choice and is displayed as just another drive on the system. Users can create new folders, copy, move, rename, delete files and folders and sort files according to name, extension, date etcetera. The first time the tool is run, it prompts users for a Gmail user name and password and offers basic security features when logging in, including options for proxy authentication and Secure HyperText Transfer Protocol (S-HTTP). The utility works by sending an e-mail attachment to a user’s Gmail account when a file is added, and trashes the associated e-mail when a file is deleted.
