Franck has suggested a “multiple HF article” … And here it is ! ( not quite as he requested it hehe )
Like said : the 4Free Community works full power ! ( our appreciation to the graceful ones taking the 4Free BestS surveys … +90 comments awaiting moderation ! ) … The promotions come one after another ! … And our actual and future team-mates have the right “4Free reaction” : they bring important contributions like they have always done !
These promotions have been found ( in different amounts , but this is not important ! ) and shared by : Mayur, Seb and fake91 . Thank you friends ! It looks like the promotions are brand new because we haven’t find them on any English written site.
We’re sure you’ll understand we don’t have the time anymore to try the unbelievable amount of softwares found in free promotions. We really hope a few 4Free”ers will find the time to try these softwares.
Aside the classic system utilities tools ( can they be as good as the ones from Ashampoo WinOptimizer 2009 Advanced ? ) … At a glance the Windows Styler Features looks interesting.
Note that the price for each software is € 9,99 , so this 7 products promotion worth approx € 70 !

Hi DJ!
This I only can call as a “HotFinds Fall”!!!
Good job guys-congrats! Just now I got Windows Styler serial ( it took just seconds to receive a serial via email). Nice styler, now experimenting-just a pity it has mainly XP styles and only 3-4 for Vista, and when I try to install XP styles I getting error.
But anyhow it’s a great program and I’ll go on with experimenting.
Good luck to all downloaders!!!
They sound interesting, but I think I’ll wait and see if anyone reports on Windows 7 use.
Thanks.
Wow, what a great set of finds, we’ll all get lots of benefits from these free tools.

WoW Team. I’m just blown away again. Nice gifts indeed.
Will have to get back to ya’s later. There’s loads here to take in.

All credit to Mayur, Seb and fake91 !
I downloaded the Diskspace Manager out of curiosity.
DL and reg was very quick.The software looks well designed and offers some interesting results.
However,as with the other system tools displayed above,I won’t be needing this as I already have software on my computer to do the jobs these offer to do.
As for the Windows Styler Features,I am sure it is also useful tool for those who like to change their themes though I will be sticking to downloading my themes from a popular site.
These look like an interesting package. Thanks for this find.
All worked for me except Defrag Lite. I think this may have been because of a Windows 7 Registry problem.
A good one …!!!

Hi Adrian!
The Styler is cool ! As for the others … You have given us WinOptimizer and TuneUp Utilities
Keep them coming guys !
Normal price is €60 for the program, so this should be a fine offer, but I think I will pass it - I think I already have what is offered. I tried the Windows Styler but have removed it again, because the low number of themes disappointed me when I could not find any other .sus themes for Vista anywhere on the Internet - the extension seems to be for (Linux or) Suse!

WOW I got the registry cleaner, Windows Style, and the Internet tuner.
I used the Internet tuner and it seemed to help with the speed Little.
The reg. Cleaner found 127 problems and they all seemed ligament.

I got them all but sincerely speaking I believe there are better free alternatives than these ones and I will stick with them.
However it does not mean that we appreciate your sharing. All the best.
As of now, the links seem to have changed. I have collected the new ones.
Will mail separately.

Hi Thomas !
What links are you talking about ?
To download one should only click on “Try It”.

Thank you. I’ll get myself the registry cleaner, drive cleaner and the file shredder. I’m skipping the styler because I prefer the windows 98 look. I even prefer the windows 98 look above the way windows 7 looks (By the way I’m using Windows XP…)
I’m surprised by their system requirements though, I mean 1GB for a registry cleaner? That sounds a lot.
Free alternatives for the registry cleaner and the ‘drive cleaner’ are “Ccleaner” and “Advanced SystemCare Free”.
Free alternatives for the “Defrag Lite” are the windows built in defrag (although it’s very limited in options) , Defraggler, JkDefrag (also has a portable version on portableapps.com), “Smart Defrag “.
Thanks for these - lovely software!
My only problem was that the supplied serial number did not work for Defrag Lite.
But otherwise they are fantastic pieces of software.

Wow, so many gifts at once! Feels like a birthday and Christmas all rolled into one (and we’re still 6 weeks from Xmas LOL).
I didn’t have an opportunity to fill out the surveys yet but it’s not forgotten - as soon as I can arrange a few spare moments I’ll add my own 0.02€ worth of comments :).
Great team work!
As stated already and since we all use some sort of utility tools (I guess), these ones are up for comparison.
A shame Defrag Lite does not support boot defragmentation (neither does their SystemUp Defrag 2009).
The 1st thing I noticed, Sirnh1 also pointed this out, is the high requirements on RAM, which I find extremely odd. Why would tools of this sort need 1GB to function properly? Even East-Tec Eraser 2008 is not that demanding and, by my experience, this is a heavy tool (but a very effective one).
I’d surely like to see some feedback from others on performance and resource use.

Thx a lot for this promo…
Grabbed Registry Cleaner, Defrag and Styler…
Nice find. Loads of choices in one place. Look at all the great XP themes! But, like Simh1, I use Classic Style on my XP system because I like making my own “themes”.
Two utilities back-2-back… u guys are rocking! I have to skip them, though… i have Glary Utilities Pro and ASC Pro, so i think I am good for now.

Hi folks,
I downloaded them all last-night but had issues with the registry cleaner. I couldn’t get the full download due to a folder priority needing to be changed ??

Nice find. The mail with the license key was delivered almost instantly upon registration. However, it would not accept gmail as a valid email ID.
CCCleaner satisfies my day to day needs of system maintenance. So I dont think I would be using any of the above softwares. I would definitely try them out sometime soon though.
Thanks.

Registry cleaner and Styler don’t work with 64-bit OS, so I’m out of it :(.
But the others, though worked, are kind of redundant to me, because I either don’t need it, or it went clashes with my way of using computer.
Anyway, thanks the team for acknowledging us about this promo!

Great set of tools….(for those who dont yet have similar apps. ) Well done guys !
Great stuff! The license keys were sent almost instantly.
But for now, one of the themes suits my eyes.
Tried out windows styler and it was very easy to use. Download the theme of choice and just click away. Sweet! Just wish there were more themes that suits my taste
Gonna test the rest later. thanks again for the great softwares!

E-mailed support concerning serial not working for Defag Lite. They replied saying that the serial is a working serial.
I have noticed that it has worked for some and for some it has not. Just wondering if the ones it hasn’t worked for would commit if they have Nod32.
This is the only thing I could think of that might be causing the trouble.

Hi Team,
I tried the internet tuner this evening and…….Wooooow!!
As soon as i saw the icon on my desktop after install i said that looks professional.
I opened it up and was impressed by the interface. Very crisp and fresho then i did a few speed tests using speed test . com just for a guideline. Then i used the internet tuner and let the wizard do it’s thing.
then i did the speed test directly after and wow….speeds were remarkably faster.
I’m well impressed and would have to say to other 4Freers get i,t get it, just get it. Its well worth getting and it makes a back up that you can fall back on if things don’t go your way.
Thanks again team.
Can’t wait for the next HF

Only one word: Awesome! Thanks 4free!

Hi 4Free-ers.
If it’s ok, I’d like to provide some feedback on trying out FileShredder - beware though, I’m not a professional at this. Ok, here we go. Test took place on a WIN XP SP3/ P4 2,8GHz system with 1,5GB RAM.
The Installer comes with a very clean EULA and runs really smooth; 6,6MB (Installer) result into a 10,4MB installed program (default path). Registration went fine as well.
The tool comes with a very nice shortcut icon (like a real life File Shredder) and has a very simple interface, where there’s nth to configure. The options given regard wiping methods and targets.
It has 3 wiping methods, including the very well known & effective Gutmann (35 passes).
The user gets the option to wipe a file, a folder or the recycle bin, though it’s not possible by right-clicking on a target itself.
After registration, a rather annoying ad-screen to update comes up, but not on next runs. At every 1st run, the app also checks for updates (which can be killed via firewall rule, if not desired, as there are no settings to configure).
When loading the app, 2 processes run: fileshredder.exe & mainmenu.exe, which take up ~13,7MB & ~22MB respectively when idle.
Now, I gave it the task to wipe out the following in sequential order: a registry backup of 110MB, a pdf file of 10,2MB and a jpg file of 3MB (a random choice).
1. Registry backup: took about 3′ with CPU hitting the roof and RAM rising to ~79MB for fileshredder.exe & ~22MB for mainmenu.exe.
2. PDF file: took about 40″ with the same CPU & RAM usage; the odd thing here is that it took the app about 1′ to start the wiping task (couldn’t figure out why).
3. JPG file: took about 30″ with the same CPU & RAM usage and no time delay.
When the wiping task is over you get a message and the RAM usage drops <10MB for both processes (average: 5,5-6,2MB).
To complete my test, I uninstalled it - with the additional help of RevoUninstaller: The default uninstall goes fast, but it leaves behind a lot of registry items (45) and about 3 HDD leftovers.
Hope this was not too much or too boring for you.

Hi,
Motivated by the enthusiasm of captain zed, I decided to give the Internet Tuner a go.
After a clean install of Firefox (as a result of an unrecoverable crash) I tested 10 different servers over at Speedtest Net.
I then installed Ineternet Tuner; installation went exactly as FileShredder, the mainmenu.exe process is again here and the resource use is also the same.
In order to run the optimization, the app asks for some info regarding the actual net connection and the use of it (surfing, online games, etc). To finilize the new settings, it requests a reboot - as all tools of this sort do. The only thing changed was the RWIN value.
Then I tested the same 10 servers and was greatly disappointed to see 2 going up, 1 staying the same and 7 of them going down.
Afterwards, I did my usual tweaking at Firefox configuration (about:config) and run the same tests. This time, 8 went up (and by up I mean at least X2-4 times) and 2 still down: 1 less than before & 1 more.
So, all in all, I decided to keep the configuration.
And to complete my test, I uninstalled it (RevoUninstaller supported): The default uninstall went fast, as with FileShredder; it leaves behind a lot of registry items (45), just like FileShredder, but no HDD leftovers.
I’d say it does a pretty good job, if your web browser is already optimized.
I can’t say if this would be the case if I was using IE (I don’t know if you can tweak it like Firefox).
