The Kaspersky PURE interface isn't very slick, but it is easy-to-use and very accessible. It's divided into 7 areas. My Computer Protection (the antivirus), My Backup and My Parental Control make up the main three, with My System Tune-Up, My Encryption, My Virtual Keyboard and My Password Manager bringing up the rear.

There is an awful lot to Kaspersky PURE, but all of it is well-explained and simple to figure out. Almost all of the features have a wizard, and there are two levels of control available, one for people who would prefer minimal interaction and another for those who want more control.

The Kaspersky PURE settings menu is ample and has some great features that make using the program a pleasure. The best of them include a gaming mode, folder encryption and some of the most comprehensive parental control elements I have ever seen.

Unfortunately, there is a price to pay for this excellence. Kaspersky PURE is extremely resource-hungry, and will all but paralyze a less powerful computer. The installation process is long and drawn-out, and the scans take a very long time. Ultimately, prospective users will need to take a long look at Kaspersky PURE before deciding if their computer - and patience - has what it takes to make the most of an excellent security program.

Kaspersky PURE is an impressive program, but recommended only for users with high spec machines.

Copying DVDs (for your own use, of course) is becoming increasingly difficult as manufacturers improve the security encoding on DVDs. AnyDVD HD however claims to be able to crack any DVD encryption code and judging by the number of downloads, Softonic users are certainly endorsing it too.

The beauty of AnyDVD HD is that it simply works in the background to automatically remove the copy protection of a DVD movie as soon as it's inserted into the drive. In this way, it can decrypt data without actually saving it to your hard-disk. You can watch the DVD at the same time or just insert a disk and let AnyDVD HD do its stuff. When you insert a disk, you are automatically prompted whether you want to decrypt it. When it has finished inspecting the disk, AnyDVD HD prompts you to backup the DVD using your preferred backup tool such as CloneDVD or Power DVD Copy.

AnyDVD HD goes much further than this though. A handy bonus is that you can also remove the RPC region code, thereby making the movie region free and viewable on any DVD player. This is especially useful for those who buy many of their disks abroad or travel a lot. If you want to create a stripped-down version of a DVD, iAnyDVD HD can also remove unwanted movie features, including subtitles and extras for example. AnyDVD HD also moves beyond decryption and allows you to control the speed of your DVD drive. This is useful if you’re having trouble playing a DVD properly or if the noise of your drive is causing annoyance. Finally, there’s also an option in AnyDVD HD to display the frequency of your monitor for both NTSC and PAL displays although you probably won’t use this unless you’re having serious display issues.

The only drawback of AnyDVD HD is the number of daily updates that are released. Whilst this is obviously a good thing in terms of keeping it up-to-date with the latest encryption methods, the update alerts can be rather annoying and are prone to slowing your computer down.

However, this is a small price to pay for a program that seems able to crack all but the toughest disks and for anyone who likes to create backups of their favorite DVDs, AnyDVD HD is an essential addition to your software collection.

Using the program is a pleasant experience - at the most basic level, add the files you want to compress/decompress using the file explorer on the right and chose the action you want from the main toolbar or by right clicking. The PeaZip interface is fresh and easy-to-use with a few built-in themes to spice things up.

Right-clicking on a file or folder and choosing Add to archive or Browse path with PeaZip will also provide direct access to the program's factions. The compression/decompression process is very quick and smooth, and there are impressive advanced options for users who want to get a little more technical.

Among the best of these advanced PeaZip features are the encryption/password options, compression variables, and the File tools, which allow you to split files, join them and even view the checksum files. PeaZip really impressed us - it's a top-class program that performs at a really high level, and is a worthy rival to apps such as WinZip or 7Zip.

PeaZip is a fantastic program for all your compressing/decompressing needs.

Backing up your drivers is one of the best things you can do to your PC - if the worst happens, you know that you can always restore damaged and corrupt drivers in seconds.

In most cases when Windows is running slower, faulty driver installations are to blame. The problem is that Windows automatically stores versions of older drivers just in case you want to roll back but sometimes it these conflict with the new ones.

Drivermax basically backs-up and restores driver in a very attractive and well presented interface. It has a powerful export wizard to help you export the drivers you need to backup by copying the required files to a folder or compressed ZIP file. After reinstalling Windows, the program can ensure that all drivers are reinstalled within 5 minutes according to the developers.

While the process is nowhere near this quick - or straightforward because many drivers may not work properly first time round due to the special way they need to be installed - it is on the whole very easy to use and efficient. It certainly saves you the hours of searching and installing that you'd usually have to go through.

The Import Drivers wizard is similarly straightforward and will take up to 10 minutes depending on how much you've got installed on your PC.

A powerful driver installation and restore tool that is easy enough for beginners and does the job in decent time.

The downside to having multiple computers is synchronization. Dropbox is the perfect solution for these situations.

With Dropbox you can seamlessly synchronize contents between several different computers – even mobile devices – no matter where you are. This means that you can use Dropbox not only to sync files between computers, but also to share photos with friends or collaborate in a common project with your workmates.

Dropbox is dead easy to use. All you have to do is install a small client and from that moment on, you'll have a special folder inside the My Documents folder. Anything you drop here will be synced in the background with your public dropbox profile – and therefore accessible online. Dropbox currently offers 2 GB of free storage, which should be enough to share quite a bunch of files.

Worried about privacy? Fear not. Only computers you link to your account will be able to access your files. Also, Dropbox keeps track of changes, so that you can access previous versions of a file. In a way it works as a backup tool as well, because it keeps copies of your files.

Dropbox has a main drawback though: it's painfully slow. Yes, it works in the background and yes, you don't have to be checking the uploading rate every ten seconds, but 30 minutes to upload three photos is simply too much for me.

Dropbox is an easy, handy tool with which you can sync files online, share them and have them always at hand.

A slow computer can be incredibly annoying to deal with. The causes can be varied, but RegistryBooster 2012 will help ensure that your registry isn't to blame for any sluggishness. Since they're just large databases, registries are highly susceptible to getting out of hand and, over time, becoming disorganized and inefficient. RegistryBooster 2012 aims to reorganize, fix and generally optimize your registry to help make your computer faster in the long run.

RegistryBooster 2012's interface is intuitive and easy to navigate, even if you've never used this type of program before. The main feature is the registry scan button, which will perform a search for problem areas that is quite quick. You will then receive a summary of its findings and can fix whatever is wrong. Unfortunately, the trial version limits you to fixing just 15 problems, but at it least gives you an overview about the registry's current status.

RegistryBooster 2012 allows users who have more of a technical background to configure their own ignore lists. It's also possible to check repair logs and keep track of all the changes applied to the system. Additionally, a backup is automatically created with copies of the registry so that you can restore it to its original state if you need to. Unfortunately, RegistryBooster 2012's configuration options don't go much beyond that.

Although its settings menu is limited, RegistryBooster 2012 is useful for identifying registry errors on your PC.

It includes three wizards - Extend Partition Wizard, Partition Copy Wizard and Disk Copy Wizard.

In addition to simply dividing your disk, you can also change the size of a partition and move or copy partitions in Aomei Partition Assistant without fear of losing your data. In many cases, the wizard tool's name matches up with the act you're going to perform. You can also check the status of a partition to see how much space is being used, among other useful statistics.

Due to the three wizard options, Aomei Partition Assistant is relatively easy to use. Those unfamiliar with disk partitioning might initially find Aomei Partition Assistant a little complicated just by virtue of needing to learn new terms and processes for what they want to do. Aomei Partition Assistant's wizards are good at guiding you through each process however.

Aomei Partition Assistant is a handy way to partition your hard disk drive, as well as manage individual partitions.
