Spotflux 2.9.8
Encrypt your internet connection, protect against viruses and more with this one-stop, very simple security tool

Spotflux is an extremely simple security tool which provides a host of features and functionality with the absolute minimum of hassle: it just works.

The program encrypts and secures your internet connection, for instance, preventing others from intercepting your personal details.

Spotflux is also permanently scanning your connection for inbound malware. It detects and blocks ads, eliminates tracking ads, and even conceals your true IP address to maintain your online privacy.

And there's no complicated interface you must navigate to make this happen. You don't have to set up antivirus scan times, or choose the sorts of threats you'd like the program to check for. In fact the main window only really allows you to turn Spotflux on and off; this really is a security tool that anyone can use without difficulty.

The Spotflux tool itself is Java-based, and the main client required around 22MB RAM on our test PC. We also noticed a small drop in web performance as our traffic was redirected through the Spotflux cloud. On balance, though, it seems like a capable tool which improves your security and privacy without any of the usual hassles.

Verdict:

Spotflux offers an easy way to encrypt your connection, hide your current location, and eliminate incoming malware.

Disconnects often

I tried Spotflux. It works however the installer is heavy and connection slow and shaky.

The real problem with Spotflux is that it is the US company, so thanks to the Patriot Act, the data they transfer can be monitored at any time by Uncle Sam.

Normally I use SecurityKISS as they have clear privacy policy and because they are located in Ireland, at least they have a chance to keep promises.

@ Harry K

Obviously you are a Spotflex fan, but you obviously didn't read my post. My post was about completely surreptitious internet use. Spotflex must be installed, and is therefore useless for security critical situations where your computer may be forensically examined. Spotflux will not stand up to that. It's installed. In situations (read: countries) wherein it is necessary to avoid being found to have been using the internet surreptitiously as well as even the suspicion of having done so, one must use software such as UltraSurf. Read, think, understand and do some research before making such blanket, country-centric statements. You apparently know very little about the security procedures Ultrasurf uses. Spotflex is fine if you just want to avoid being tracked by sites and such, which is actually a useless exercise, except for porn perverts or some such. UltraSurf (UltraReach now has UltraVPN) and TOR seem to be the top picks for situations where the ultimate in internet security is critical, like when someone (read: the governments of China, Myanmar, Iran, Egypt, India) is actually "after" you, not just cookie and targeted advertising avoidance. I like getting targeted advertising.

Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013 (v11.0.6)

Free Full Commercial Software

Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013 is a compact, simple, but surprisingly feature-packed disc burning suite.

The program makes it easy to create simple data discs and audio CDs, for instance: just drag and drop your files onto the list area and you'll be burning the finished disc in a couple of clicks.

That's just the start, though. Burning Studio 2013 can also create data discs with customised, interactive multi-page menus, perfect if you'd like a more professional way to share and present the disc contents.

A built-in backup tool allows you to create backups which may be encrypted, compressed, and span several CDs, DVDs and Blu-rays.

And there are modules to create VCD or SVCD video projects; burn video DVDs or Blu-ray discs from prepared folders; create, browse or burn disc images (ISO, CUE/ BIN and Ashdisc formats are supported); copy discs, erase them, design and print disc covers, labels and booklets, and more.

The focus throughout is on ease of use, though, and so Ashampoo Burning Studio 2013 remains very straightforward, whatever you're doing. Most disc projects are created via the same simple interface, and for the most part all you have to do is drag and drop the necessary files. But experts will find more advanced options are only a click away, and if you need to then you can set ISO and UDF version, enable Joliet, make a disc bootable and more.

Note the download here will take you to the Downloadcrew Software Store where you can download Burning Studio 2013.
