Freeware: Internet Privacy

	SimonTools CyberGhost VPN  License: Freeware
	Everyone is curious by nature. Everyone likes talking about others and exchanging the newest gossip. But no one likes being spied on. That's why we close the doors when we want to be left alone or choose to telephone with friends when no one is listening. Increasingly, however, the Internet gives us fewer such places for privacy. Website hosts want to know about your interests; the industry wants to know about your online activities; state agencies and intelligence services want to know as much as possible about the citizens of their country. To protect yourself and your privacy, you must take action. Why surf anonymously? Would you like to have your bank deny you a loan based on your Internet activities? It is your right to decide for yourself who gets what information about you. Internet surfing leaves a plethora of tracks-not just the ones on your computer. Every Internet provider knows exactly which websites you visit and when you visited them, while every website identifies your address and what you've looked at on its pages. You don't want your neighbor to know which magazines you read or where you shop-do you? Remember: Your Internet IP address can be used to locate your real address. Every time you visit a Web server, you leave behind an IP address. CyberghostVPN can help! Our CyberGhost client software connects you with an online server via a so-called tunnel that transmits all data in encrypted form, currently giving you 100% protection from eavesdroppers. The Internet pages you visit only see the address of our VPN server, not your private IP address. In this way, you are ensured total anonymity. The connection occurs in two steps. First a connection is created using 1024-bit SSL encryption. Then a unique 128-bit AES key is produced through which your data transmission takes place. Log in, click "connect," and begin to surf anonymously! Author: S.A.D. GmbH| Date: 21-05-2008 | Size: 617 KB

	AtomicCleaner  License: Freeware
	How does it work? Cache Clearance: When you visit websites files are stored on your computer. This means that loading times are faster next time you visit the site. However, by the time you next visit that site, on average 6 out of 10 websites will have updated, leaving those files simply cluttering your computer. 70% of websites we visit, we do not return to. This means that you have, on average, 200mb of files that you do not need on your hard drive. This slows down your computer dramatically. Luckily, AtomicCleaner cleans up these files – leaving your less cluttered, and much faster. Cookies: Almost every site you visit leaves traces on your computer. These are called cookies. They are why websites are able to remember who you are and tell you when you last visited a site. However, they also have a rather sinister side to them. They can be used by advertising companies to trace your activity on the internet, invading your privacy and, to a degree, slowing down your computer. AtomicCleaner removes these – restoring your security and privacy on the internet. 3rd Party Files: Are you a fan of peer-to-peer downloading? Every time you download a file from peer-to-peer networks, using programs like Limewire or Bittorrent, you leave traces all over your computer. These traces can tell anyone, even the least technologically literate, exactly what you downloaded, where from and when. However, these files do not just apply to downloading. Many applications leave traces of your activity on your computer, including browsers, media players and image viewers. AtomicCleaner destroys these files, without deleting the files you downloaded – leaving your computer trace free, and much faster. Author: Atomic| Date: 01-01-2007 | Size: 325 KB
