Giveaway of WAV To MP3 Software

Today starts a free Giveaway of WAV To MP3 at http://www.wavmp3.net/giveaway.html.
Before 2012 Feb 5th, WAV To MP3 is for free for all users. Once users download and install the giveaway version during the giveaway period, they will be able to use the converter for lifetime with 100% full function.
The main purpose of WAV To MP3 is converting lossless WAV audio files to MP3 music for popular movable audio devices like iPod, and to save a lot of disk space because the MP3 file size is much smaller.
The FLAC creator feature is also added. FLAC is a lossless audio compressed format, and it is very popular with audiophiles. Now users can create FLAC audio from WAV files directly by WAV To MP3 without quality loss.
The WAV To MP3 regular price is $29.95 USD, but it is 100% free and full functional in this giveaway period.

New Privacy Software from PC Pitstop

by James M. Fisher

PC Pitstop (the makers of PC Matic) have a new product that they just launched called PC Magnum. They are calling PC Magnum a privacy tool. The reason that this product exists is because Windows is storing gobs of personal information about you, your browsing habits, and loads of other personal information. For example, every web site that you visit for months and sometimes years is stores in your browsing history. There is also a less detailed history of your browsing that can be determined through your cookies. The internet cache stores tons of images from many of these web sites including Facebook. On top of all of this, Windows also keeps a record of many of the documents that you are editing and viewing. This includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint and even simple PDF files.

They designed PC Magnum to make it abundantly clear all of the personal information that is stored on your computer and simplify the process for removing this same information. They are even able to categorize each web site (identified in the browser history) into one of 82 different categories such as pornography and online gambling.

Run a Free PC Privacy Scan Now

PC Magnum also uses the same sophisticated scheduling technology that we use in all of our products including PC Matic and Optimize – making it easy to set up regular automated cleaning. Here’s a screen shot of PC Magnum after doing a scan on my laptop (click to enlarge):
