nBinder, executable compressor file binder and a password protector

nBinder allows you to pack and compress an unlimited number of files, maintaining their direct functionality. You also have available options like password protection, compression level, folder protection, URL files, complex commands, self removal, controls based on conditions that allow for conditional run, repetitive sequences and scheduled events, individual file options and more advanced options.

The primary disadvantage of common archives (.zip .rar .ace etc.) is that once files have been archived they loose their direct functionality, meaning they first have to be unpacked using the application used to compress them and the run. nBinder comes to fix this problem combining the advantages of archives with the direct functionality of the uncompressed files and many more other options like password protection and anti hacking protection for executables or complex commands that enhance functionality. Files compressed with nBinder are transformed into standalone executable files (.exe) that when executed they act the same as the packed files would if run uncompressed, maintaining their full direct functionality.
For example a packed movie when run will open the movie into its default application, without the user having to decompress it first. You can use the files compressed (binded, protected) by nBinder without having nBinder or other application installed on the computer. You can later extract the packed files from the output file either by using nBinder or by running the output file with a certain command line.

Award-winning file packer, compressor and protector used to pack multiple files into a stand alone executable with over 50 advanced output and file unpack options, conditional run and commands.

'Cacheman XP', improve the XP performance speed

CachemanXP is a Windows tuneup utility designed to improve the speed and stability of your computer by optimizing caches, recovering RAM and fine tuning a number of system settings. Oneclick-Optimization makes it suitable for novice and intermediate users yet it is also powerful and versatile enough for computer experts.
Unlike other tuneup utilities, CachemanXP runs as a system service, minimizing resource usage and tweaking Windows at system-level.


Useful Functions of cacheman XP :
* CachemanXP displays a list of loaded Windows processes (Applications and System Services) along with detailed information including RAM usage.

* The most important CachemanXP process feature is Kill Process.
which stops the process when the 'task manager' is being ignored.

* RAM-Recovery
Inactive or crashed programs are simply moved from your physical memory (RAM) to a space on your Hard Drive called the Paging File (=Swap File).

*What does CachemanXP differently?
CachemanXP will not wait with the recovery until your system runs completely out of RAM. You can configure at which state (below value) CachemanXP should perform the recovery process. The postpone recovery on high system activity option ensures that no recovery happens if you are working on an important task and do not want to be disturbed. CachemanXP will wait until the job is done and perform the recovery thereafter. Since the recovery happens earlier as usual your system will have enough RAM available a much longer time.

Rar Password recovery (recover your rar passwords)

Advanced RAR Password Recovery (ARPR) is a password retrieval program for the RAR/WinRAR archiving format.At the moment, there is no known method to extract the password from the compressed file. so the only available methods are "brute force" and dictionary-based attacks.

some features of rar password recovery:

• ARPR can work in the background, using the CPU only when it is in an idle state;
• supported all versions of win rar archives including rar3.x
• Supports the customizable "brute-force" and dictionary-based attacks.
• Multilanguage interface is provided.

Just select the name of RAR archive you'd like to get the password for. Use the "Browse" button (or F3 key) to select it, or press the "recent files" button (with a small down arrow) to puck up from the list (if you ever used ARPR before). Alternatively, you can use drag'n'drop – just drag the file (with a mouse) from Windows Explorer, and drop it to ARPR window. If all the settings are correct, the attack will be started immediately.
