Pure Speed 2.0

Pure Speed will increase the speed that information can travel over the internet to your computer. You can expect anywhere from a 200% to 500% improvement in your internet speeds, through the browser, ftp, or even chat.

In Windows, there is a library of information called the registry. Inside, it holds specifications and details of your hardware and how it interacts with other components. Specifically, there are certain variables not set to its maximum capabilities, namely Internet speed variables.

Pure Speed will change these so you can get the best speeds possible. Through enhancing these variables such as the MTUs, our program can potentially increase your Internet transfer speeds anywhere from 200% to 500%.

Advanced Hardware Editor 1.3

You've probably had a time when you got a new piece of hardware and hooked it up to your system only to find out that you can't get it to work. Sometimes, especially with USB devices, if you don't install the drivers when Windows first detects the new device, you end up spending hours trying to get the new device working.

Advanced Hardware Editor allows you to remove non-existant devices from the registry in a much more friendly manner than using a registry editor. In addition to simply removing devices, you can change advanced settings and save them to modify the way a piece of hardware works. Advanced Hardware Editor also comes with the ability to backup the registry and undo your changes.

Limitations: 15 Uses

Bulls Eye 2.5 Full Product

Finding that elusive piece of information on the Net can often mean trawling
through countless search engines and endless lists of results. Bullseye is
about to change all that. It¹s a search portal that allows you to scan up to 800 different search engines at once, and gives you just one list of results at the end of it.
Each search is fully customisable, allowing you to choose the number of
results to be obtained from each of your preferred search engines. You can
choose to look for particular files, such as MP3s, or use the speciality
search to look for new sites, or those that contain a link to a particular
URL. The advanced search facility also has a built-in wizard, to help you to
create more complex search criteria.
Results can be displayed in an easy-to-read list format, and you can
browse a site while examining your results. Each instance of your search
criteria is highlighted on the page to help find the areas relevant to you.
Search results can be saved using the Manage facility, while the History
feature logs all your previous searches. It all makes Bullseye an essential tool
for any keen Web surfer or researcher.
Though we wouldn¹t recommend hassling comedy legend Jim Bowen for any
help: he doesn¹t know. Instead, in case you need a bit of helpful
instruction, why not turn to the on-line help features at
www.intelliseek.com? Although you won¹t win a fridge freezer just by
throwing a dart.
