Total Copy

Total copy is program to copy /move files and folder with some added features.

Using total copy, you can manage your copy /move speed. This way you can copy stuff with slow speed so that it wont lag the other program.

From my own experience, sometimes when I copy some files from the network (like movies and songs), the host PC that I copied from got lagged. And if the user of the host PC feel anoyed, he/she can just remove the file sharing, resulting your copy to be stoped halfway. Using total copy, I can limit my copy speed to 2 or 3 MBps, so that the host wont feel anything while I leech. yeah I know it is slow, but at least I can get the whole files, not only half.

Total copy also have the feature to pause and auto resume your downloads. So even if you are copying halfway and the connection got broken, not a problem for total copy. Just wait until you can connect to the host again, and just use total copy like usual, your files will automatically resumed from the last session.

Just try it yourself:
Total Copy v1.1 (official release) : Total Copy 11.zip
Total Copy v1.2 (Unofficial Luki Edition) : tc120LukiEditionXP.zip

How to use:
After you install it, just click and drag using right click, there will be a selection of total copy and total move.

Kerio Personal Firewall

Kerio Personal Firewall (KPF)

Is a Shareware Firewall, you can use it without limitation for the first 30 days. Then after the 30 days period is over, you can still use the firewall without paying, but a few features will be locked.

But still, this is a must in my computer. I used it to prevent unwanted and unauthorized program from running. KPF helped me a lot of times by preventing virus and spyware from infecting my computer.

You dont need the Full features of the KPF. The most important feature is the "Application Behaviour Blocking", so that new and unregistered application cannot run without your permission. And also you dont need to worry about KPF slowing down your PC, at least it is much better than those Slow and resource hogging antivirus.

You can get KPF here:
KPF 4.zip


By the way, for your information about antivirus, read this:

A Good Antivirus

Actually I dont know what is the best Antivirus right now, but let me just show you something:

It has been a few years that I don't install Antivirus, and during this year I never got any virus.
It is better to prevent and take care than trying to fix things that already broken.
