Optical discs are a great way of storing digital content but they are also highly sensitive and we often find ourselves with a pile of scratched CDs and DVDs and no clue on how to get our precious files back.

A good disk defragmentation utility is always a precious asset if you wish to keep your hard drives working at maximum performance. Saving and deleting files on the hard drive results in free space between the files, so every time you want to store a new file, the system will place it in the first available space it finds. If the file is bigger than that first found space, the system will fragment it and store those fragments in other free locations it comes across. In the end the file will probably end up scattered across your hard drive and when you try to access it, the process will be slower as the hard drive’s read/write heads are forced to move over different areas instead of accessing the file sequentially.
Smart Defrag is currently one of the fastest and efficient disk defragmentation tools incorporating an assembly of useful features for hard disk maintenance such as scheduled and automatic defragmentation, analyze fragmentation level for specific files/folders and the advanced “Boot Time Defrag” technology.

One of the most common obsessions of gamers is testing their computer’s performance because it’s just not enough to choose all hardware parts for their system after reading documentation and performing extensive comparisons between products.

Moreover the free edition is a reliable solution to perform a basic set of straightforward tests if you don’t wish to spend money for such a program.

We live in a world where relatively speaking, we are given the possibility to immortalize any moment anywhere at any given time, and quite obviously the reason behind this is the fact that almost any modern portable device has now a camera attached to it. Whether it’s a mobile phone, a music player or a tablet PC, the presence of a digital camera on such portable devices has become a trend or a “must”.

Unlocker is a handy tool that comes in the form of a Windows Explorer extension, giving the possibility to delete locked files that generate error messages when the user tries to delete/move them. Unlocker is one of the most complex unlocking utilities, being able to close handles, kill processes without reboot, delete, rename or move the locked files.

I’m not a great fan of Windows native System Restore and i’ll probably never be, due to its buggy nature. However, the guys from Comodo managed to create a backup & restore application, similar to System Restore that is actually better and more reliable. Comodo Time Machine is a powerful system rollback utility that creates certain backup points and allows the user to rollback Windows to those specific points. Practically, this allows the user/administrator create system snapshots that he can save, for later rollbackin’.
