Beneath a Steel Sky begins with a simple premise that gradually unfolds to include a lot of subtle threads and interesting plot twists: you play Robert Foster, a down-trodden citizen of the oppressive futuristic city that any fan of Orwell’s 1984 will immediately recognize. In a quest to find your long-lost father, you will encounter many colorful characters and solve many gadget-oriented puzzles.
The game is replete with well-written dialogues and excellent artwork by the famed British comic book artist Dave Gibbons (whose work is one of the best introduction sequences seen in a computer game). A must-play for all cyberpunk fans and everyone else.

Spyware Blaster blocks more than 6000 known spyware and similar infections from being installed on your system. It is like a small-pox vaccine! Just prevent it from happening.
Download it, install it, update it, enable all protections and forget it! It doesn’t have to be running to protect you. And of course, it is absolutely FREE!
Download it from Download.com
Here is Download.com review:
SpywareBlaster doesn’t scan for and clean spyware–it prevents it from being installed in the first place. SpywareBlaster prevents the installation of ActiveX-based spyware, adware, dialers, browser hijackers, and other potentially unwanted programs. It can also block spyware/tracking cookies in IE and Mozilla/Firefox, and restrict the actions of spyware/ad/tracking sites. With the built-in Check for Updates feature, you can help ensure your protection is up-to-date. SpywareBlaster also includes a System Snapshot feature, which lets you take a snapshot of your computer in its clean state and later revert, undoing many changes made by spyware and browser hijackers.

Allway Sync is one of the best ways to synchronize and backup your USB flash drive. Allway Sync compares files in specified folders and copies the modified file to the counterpart folder, it synchronizes folders. Unlike other file sync tools that just copy files with the most recent modification time, Allway Sync uses a true bi-directional synchronization algorithm that does not depend on system clock accuracy, and also propagates file deletions correctly.
