ARO 2012

ARO 2012 is an advanced repair and optimization utility designed to help improve and maintain computers running the Windows operating system (both 32- and 64-bit). ARO focuses on finding errors that hide out in the Windows registry, identifying PC and web browser clutter that may be hindering PC performance and ensuring computers have adequate security solutions installed and up to date. With its advanced scanning engine, ARO provides deep scanning capabilities to identify and repair registry errors. ARO also searches for and removes "junk" files that accumulate over time and can put a damper on PC performance.

ARO categories scans into 3 main areas: Registry, Junk and Security. The registry scan analyzes 13 areas of the Windows registry for errors and indentifies possible registry tweaks that can help improve PC performance. The junk scan checks ten areas of the PC for clutter, freeing up disk space by identifying and removing extraneous files that can clutter and slow down a system. It also scans and removes junk accumulated from web browsers. The baseline security scan confirms a user has up-to-date security software including antivirus, antispyware, firewall and now also checks the Windows operating system update process to confirm it is properly configured.

What's new in this version ARO 2012:

• Ability to clean accumulated junk from the internet browsers: Internet Explorer, Chrome and Firefox
• Scans and removes Windows log files and error reporting files
• Reveals the number of junk files and the size of the files
• Newly enhanced "settings" section enables users to customize their scan

Sammsoft understands the need for both an easy-to-use and full-featured registry cleaner software. We were quite pleased to see that the scan process is rather fast and is able to find well over 3,000 issues that required attention. Like many of the other high-end registry cleaners we reviewed, ARO 2012 is able to clean or remove unneeded objects without any real issues. We were pleased that it has the ability to remove junk files and even traces of online activities from the basic web browsers. It can also perform a deep scan, which simply helps clear out files that most registry cleaners overlook. The combination of a quick scan, effective clean-up process and overall quality features greatly increase the software's overall performance.

ARO 2012 scans and verifies that your Windows Update is optimally configured to help ensure your computer runs at its best. Registry backup and system-restore applications are also available in case you end up making a change that is too overwhelming to deal with. However, ARO 2012 does lack severity warnings for each issue, so the best action is to make sure to fix or clean up anything and everything that could be a problem.

ARO 2012 is registry cleaning software capable of not only cleaning your registry, but also speeding up your computer. The software is very easy to use, with step-by-step instructions on how to use each feature. To ensure that everything works properly, make sure to back up your registry before each cleaning. The online information, user manual and additional tips are very welcome and answer the most difficult questions. If you want to have a fast, reliable computer, again ARO 2012 is a great choice to help clean up that cluttered registry.

ShellExView (64-bit)

Shell extensions add useful capabilities to context menus in Windows. For instance, when you right-click a file, you might see icons for your anti-virus program, or graphics app, or Zip tool on the context menu. Those are created by adding shell extensions to your system. As more and more programs take advantage of this useful capability in Windows, it becomes harder and harder to keep tabs on them. NirSoft's ShellExView displays the details of all the shell extensions installed in your computer. It also lets you enable and disable shell extensions. This free tool is available in specific downloads for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows. We tried the 64-bit version in Windows 7.

ShellExView is portable freeware that requires no installer. It opened with the main list view common to NirSoft's wares; an efficient, compact, no-nonsense design suitable to a wide range of tools. ShellExView displayed our installed extensions, and ... how many? 225? No way we'd have guessed that many! But already ShellExView proved its worth by clueing us in to how many shell extensions our system has. Granted, most of the extensions were native to Windows, but we still found more extensions installed by third-party programs than we expected. Fortunately, we didn't have the extra special pleasure of finding mystery extensions, but let's face it: it's best to know what's installed in your system, and you can't disable spurious, unneeded or even harmful extensions if you don't know about them.

ShellExView displays a lot of data about each extension in a series of customizable column headings. Selecting and right-clicking any entry opened a detailed menu that let us enable or disable the item, open it in RegEdit, create reports, and much more. We could also remove specific items from My Computer, the Desktop, or Control Panel, leaving other menus intact. We could search Google for information on specific items, handy for "should-it-stay-or-should-it-go?" calls. The Help file includes the option to send reports to ShellFix, a NirSoft Web site for diagnosing and fixing shell extension problems. ShellExView 64-bit maintains the high standards of value and performance we've seen from NirSoft.

ShellExView (64-bit) are in-process COM objects which extends the abilities of Windows operating system. Most shell extensions are automatically installed by the operating system, but there are also many other applications that install additional shell extension components. For example: If you install WinZip on your computer, you'll see a special WinZip menu when you right-click on a Zip file. This menu is created by adding a shell extension to the system. The ShellExView utility displays the details of shell extensions installed on your computer, and allows you to easily disable and enable each shell extension.

RoboForm Password Manager

You can reduce the time you spend filling out Web forms and logging onto subscription sites with RoboForm. The version 6 update improved usability significantly and replaced the old, clunky autofill window with a less-obtrusive toolbar. If you don't like the standard toolbar placement, you can run it at the bottom of the browser instead. That's the standard placement for Mozilla-based browsers. The program uses encryption algorithms such as Blowfish and AES to protect your data and includes a password generator. You can set up multiple identities with different credit-card numbers, passwords, and contact information. The trial limits the tab instances on each identity to three, but you can make plenty of identities.

RoboForm can also save passwords from other applications such as Outlook or Windows Live Mail. If it is running the program detects the password fields and prompts you to save the information. Later you can open the application and enter the login information with just one click.

RoboForm includes a Contacts database that can be used to store important information that you want to protect from other users. This is a plus since not all the applications that deal with this type of details have the option to protect them with a password. If you have a lot of passwords stored in the Internet browsers, the program includes the option to migrate the information. You can import data from other browsers but also from Windows Address Book and from CSV or TXT files.

The information that is stored in the program can only be accessed with the master password that you are prompted to set during the installation of the program. So you can be sure that no other computer user can access your private data. A very useful feature of the program is to store your information online. This allows you to access the login information from any computer and even from mobile devices. For that you need a paid subscription to a RoboForm Everywhere account.  If you spend a lot of time on the Internet and regularly fill the same information on different websites, this program can help you save time and increase productivity.

Our favorite feature is Login, which with one click will go to a Web page, fill in a form, and submit your information. The program handles check boxes and radio buttons and supports about 20 languages. The new Search field in the toolbar makes finding and accessing any information quick, and we appreciate support for hot keys. Besides returning matching logins and other RoboForm entries, the search box will offer to search Google, Yahoo, and the Merriam-Webster Dictionary for your term. RoboForm will save active Web users a lot of time.

RoboForm makes logging into Web sites and filling forms faster, easier, and more secure. RoboForm memorizes and securely stores each user name and password the first time you log into a site, then automatically supplies them when you return. RoboForm's powerful Logins feature eliminates the manual steps of logging into any online account. With just one click RoboForm will navigate to a Web site, enter your username and password and click the submit button for you.

Completing long registration or checkout forms is also a breeze. Simply click on your RoboForm Identity and RoboForm fills-in the entire form for you. You no longer need to remember all your passwords. You remember one Master Password, and RoboForm remembers the rest. This allows you to use stronger passwords, making your online experience more secure. RoboForm uses strong AES encryption for complete data security.

The all new RoboForm 7 comes with Chrome and Safari browser support, iPhone/iPad and Android support, as well a brand new RoboForm Everywhere license for use on unlimited computers and mobile devices.
