On June 30th, 2010, the games page on Shareware Genie will no longer operate.
Why?
A little over a year ago, the big players in the casual game market got into a price war which caused the prices to be cut in half. Well, it looks like our side lost!!! The group we were affiliated with decided to close up shop and focus on game development instead of distribution.
After much thought, Shareware Genie has decided to take a different path on our game offering. We will no longer offer hundreds of games but will concentrate on a smaller group of newer and more unique games. Look for our new game page at the end of the summer.
In the meantime, the old game pages will stay up until the new pages become operational so users can reference any information regarding games they may have purchased.
Sorry for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

It's great to have hundreds of games to look through unless you just want to see what's been added since your last visit.
To correct that problem, a New PC Games page has been posting that lists all new games by release dates with the newest games being first.

Looking through over a thousand games that are offered on this site can get a bit tiresome. Let's face it, some games aren't for everyone. No matter how much you look, you can still miss the perfect game for you.
To help correct that problem, we've put up a game review page that points to reviews posted on Small Game Reviews, one of our affiliated sites hosting casual game reviews.
Not ALL of the games are reviewed but the number will be growing. Prices of these games range from $6.99 to $19.99 so don't feel the reviews are just there to point towards the higher priced games.
More search features for the page will be forthcoming. As always, we welcome your comments on this or other matters by sending an email to webmaster at this url.

Have you ever dumped a bunch of avi files on a dvd, put it in your DVD player and had a blue screen stare back at you? You're not the first!
The problem is that video files must be put on a DVD using an "Authoring" method if you want to be able to view them on a standard DVD player. The result is that many of your video files stay on your PC unseen.
WinX DVD Author solves that problem. With a simple three step process, you can convert your video files to the proper format, create custom menus, and burn the DVD. With WinX DVD Author, you can start sharing your videos with friends, co-workers and relatives.

Five new utilities have been added to help your PC run better. The makers of the "1 Click" utilities pride themselves in making programs that not only functional but very easy to use. In most cases, they need only "1 click".
One reason for poor PC performance is not enough memory due to poor allocation of resources. 1 Click Boost solves that by optimizing memory use and recovering memory locked by closed programs.
1 Click Add N Remove also helps your PC run faster by completely removing programs, eliminating leftover junk, fixing broken registry keys and more.
Keeping your privacy has never been easier thanks to 1 Click Encrypt. Encrypts your data and deletes the original using powerful algorithms that prevent file recovery. Never worry about prying eyes when you leave your PC.

Don't you hate having to search through all of the spam to find important email messages? Solve your problem with 1 Click Spam Sheild. A huge database of known spammers along with an algorithm that "learns" from your habits produce great protection from unwanted and annoying spam.

It seems to take about three months for the "new" feeling to vanish from your PC and leave you with a clone of the computer you just hauled away to the dump. The blame is placed with the usual suspects: spam, spyware, computer viruses, "secret" Windows tweaks you never performed, and everyone's favorite, evil spirits.
These reasons may be part of your PC's lousy performance but the root cause is usually much simpler: bad windows registry entries.
If you've never heard of the windows registry, think of it as a list of directions to where all of the applications, files, and folders are in your PC. Unfortunately, as you use your PC, more entries are added to the registry and it never removes them when they're no longer needed. As the bloat increases, your PC performance decreases.
Most users never bother with the registry since you can REALLY mess up your PC if you don't know what you're doing. Perhaps you've seen some brave soul type "regedit" in the run box on your start menu to bring up this long list of gibberish. The usual result is that your PC never works quite the same again because the "expert" removed the wrong information.
These problems are behind you forever thanks to Registry First Aid.
This easy to use program scans your windows registry for all sorts of bad entries and corrects them. Registry experts will be glad to know that they have the option to select only the corrections they wish. To be perfectly safe, it backs up your registry BEFORE any changes are made so you can always return to the previous settings.
Try Registry First Aid and you'll be surprised how much better your PC runs.

February 18, 2009
Digital photography gets better every day. New cameras produce images that no one thought would be possible a few years ago. Unfortunately, they also produce images that take up more memory space than anyone thought would be possible as well. With hard drives stuffed to the bursting point with jpegs and stacks of photo laden DVD piling up, it's nice to know that there is a solution.
Shrink will compress your jpegs up to 80% with NO LOSS OF IMAGE QUALITY! Other compression utilities get 2 or 3 percent compression rate at best.
Shrink used to be called Super Compressor but it's back with more features, a new name, and a REGISTRATION COST THAT'S UNDER $10.
Affordable, efficient and effective; save some memory space and register Shrink today.

What better news for game lovers than hearing that we offer more than 1100 PC game and over 200 Mac games on our expanded game download page? How about a 50 % cut in registration price?

If you're unsure as to the price, you can go to the registration page without any obligation to register just to check the registration cost. The discrepancy should be resolved shortly.

The annoying thing about passwords is that you have too many and in order for them to be anywhere close to secure, they must be unique.

It seems that all of the upgrades listed on this news page since 2006 have vanished !! I'll spare everyone the long boring story of how this happened and just repost the highlights.

They have been described as the ultimate form of self expression and there is no doubt that have changed how we relate with each other forever. A casual diary, an expert's public forum, a focal point of shared interest or the efforts of the "citizen" journalist are all forms that blogs come in.
Public sites such as blogger or wordpress make putting up a blog easy but maintaining it for any length of time can be a problem. Posts become less frequent and traffic to your blog falls to zero along with your enthusiasm. If only you could concentrate on the creative part of a blog and leave the maintenance features to someone else.
Now, with Blogs Organizer, you can.
You can write all of your blog posts for the month and have them posted at a preset date. You can glance at a chart to see if all of the links to your blog from other pages actually exist. You never have to "ping" blog aggregators when you update a blog; it's already done! You can create dozens or hundreds of blogs and control them all from the same place.
It doesn't matter if you have many interests you want to write about or if the blogs are part of a SEO campaign; Blogs Organizer makes the job easy.
Unlike the other programs on this site, Blogs Organizer is NOT shareware and runs on your web host instead of your PC. It's features and performance are so good that we decided to include it anyway. The publisher offers a 30 day money back guarantee but ONLY IF YOU CAN'T GET IT TO RUN AFTER CONTACTING THE PUBLISHER FOR HELP. We will be posting an in depth review of the program shortly.
If you have questions about which host to use, we suggest bluehost. They meet all the requirements to run Blogs Organizer, are inexpensive, have great customer service, and have many extra features.
If you're a blog enthusiast and want to move to the next level, Blogs Organizer is what you need to get you there.

Photos Forever solves your photo backup problems - FOREVER.
The games page has been expanded to include over 50 games. More games will be added with the goal of reaching 150 to 200 games within the next month or two, so check back often.

We plan on greatly expanding the games section on Shareware Genie. While most will welcome the new additions, it does bring up a problem. The site is already getting to the point where finding things is becoming difficult.
With that in mind, we've added a search engine in the upper right corner of all pages. The search engine was created using one of the products offered here, Search Engine Builder Pro. The engine still has to be tweaked and we may add more advanced search functions as well. Going forward, we'll design new pages to be more compatible with the search engine requirements while modifying older pages as needed. Most of the design changes will be transparent to users.
Try out the search engine and send us your comments.
If you're interested in building your own search engine, the review/tutorial for Search Engine Builder Pro will be posted shortly.

Is there really a need for yet another FTP program? When does all your work automatically, the answer is definitely "YES".
Auto FTP Manager lets you control remote sites by scheduling tasks such as backups or synchronizing files in local and remote sites.
I know that there's many "free" FTP programs out there but the "free" versions usually do next to nothing and are only a come on for you to pay an arm and a leg for the "pro" version. Auto FTP Manager has all the features you need with a registration fee that doesn't break the bank. Check out the review and see how Auto FTP Manager can remove all the drudgery from maintaining remote sites.

The popularity of XML has grown tremendously in a short time and leaves one thing clear; if you're dealing with any kind of data transfer, eventually, you'll HAVE to use XML.
The Shareware Genie is proud to offer what is arguably the best XML tool available on the market today, <oXygen/>. Combine an XML Editor, an XML Schema Editor, an XSL/XSLT Editor and Debugger, along with more features than you can list and you have <oXygen/>.
Experienced XML users will find that <oXygen/> offers all the features they need to make their XML projects easier. Those new to XML will not only find <oXygen/> easy to learn and use but often find that a good editor is a great teaching tool.
Check out the <oXygen/> page and see for yourself. You can also find <oXygen/> on the Webmaster's Page

A few months ago, we said that the best privacy program available got even better with the release of GhostSurf Platinum 2005. Now you can find out why in our updated review.
The privacy options were always top notch but now the Spyware and Ad control options have been improved to the same level. GhostSurf Platinum 2005 is like getting five programs in one.
The recently released version of Web Vacuum is now available. New filter options make downloading files from the web faster than ever. See the updated Web Vacuum review.

It takes more than an HTML editor to properly create and maintain a web site. To make finding the proper tools easier, we've created a new category page for webmasters. The Webmaster's Page contains all of the tools you need for a successful web site; code editors, graphic tools, file transfer, documentation and more.

A popular measure of web page popularity is Google page rank which can me measured with the free Google Tool Bar. The trouble is, you can only check one at a time and there's no quick way to save the data. PageRank Master solves those problems by allowing you to check multiple sites, displaying the results in text or on a graph, and creating reports in various formats. Spend less time checking your page rank and more time improving it with PageRank Master.

Our RSS newsfeed is finally online.
To be blunt, our email newsletter was a big flop because no one wants to give their email address away. Frankly, I don't blame you. Too many times I've seen people's email boxes filled with spam shortly after they decided to sign up for the wrong newsletter. We've all been there; just when you thought you've seen your last online pharmacy spam message, another four show up with new and very strange products!! The policy of the Shareware Genie has always been not to share email addresses but everyone says that and you still wind up getting spam. The result is no one believes you and you don't get many email addresses for your newsletter.
RSS solves all that.
If you're not familiar with RSS, it's a file posted on a web site that a news aggregator reads The idea behind RSS is for webmasters to post an XML or RSS file called a news feed that contains summaries of news items and links to the complete articles. No spam, no strange products, no having to constantly delete garbage. You get the channels you're interested in and NO OTHERS.
Feeds cover all sorts of topics such as news, sports, entertainment or in the case of the Shareware Genie, new products, configuration tips and reviews. To access this information, you use a news aggregator to display the available items and the links to the entire article.
There's many news aggregators available but you won't find a better one than the subject of a new review: FeedDemon.
The FeedDemon review will not only show you all of it's great features but will give you an idea of what RSS can do. As you surf around the web, you'll notice more sites with those little red RSS and XML boxes posted which indicates they have an RSS feed. It also proves that RSS is here to stay and is growing; don't get left behind.
Why stop at reading RSS feeds when you can make your own?
Three different versions of Broadcast Builder means there's a program to fit your needs and budget. Corporate users will find a total RSS solution while novices will find that even their home page can have an RSS feed. All three versions have been reviewed.
The reviews also have lots of general RSS information since many users are unfamiliar with it. As a result, novices as well as those experienced with RSS will find these reviews worth looking at. As always, we look forward to hearing your comments.

No, Assembly Language is not REALLY as bad as sticking pins in your eyes, although many people I've known would argue the point. Then again, they didn't have Emu8086.
A microprocessor emulator with debugging, assembly/disassembly functions, and full tutorials, Emu8086 will take ALL of the pain out of learning assembly code.
Make your web site memorable with Just Buttons Pro. Create "glass" or "plastic" buttons that are both static and animated. Turn normal graphics into buttons, add mouseover/down functions and much more.
You see it everywhere; those little red boxes with RSS and XML written on them. They're even on this website. It's RSS newsfeeds and is the best way on the web to keep your audience up to date. Thanks to Broadcast Builder, you don't have to be an XML guru to make RSS newsfeeds. Three different versions means there's a program to fit your needs and budget.
Watch for some RSS reviews and the shareware genie's completed RSS feed later this week.

You'll notice a new green button on some of the program pages that will be posted shortly.
If you're going to register a program and it has a green button on the page, please support The Shareware Genie by clicking the green button and use the registration page it takes you to. To see an example, check out the QwikSecure page.
The QwikSecure page on this site has been posted for awhile but the download wasn't operational. That has been fixed.
QwikSecure offers a unique solution to keeping private files undetected on a PC with multiple users. The program allows you to disguise any file as a recycle bin, HTML page, printer page, control panel, or my network places. Try QwikSecure and never worry about keeping private files from prying eyes.
The spread of viruses and spyware on the internet make a personal firewall on your PC a necessity. Even a NAT firewall in your router and the SP2 firewall doesn't remove the threat. The Armor2Net review not only tells you about a great firewall program but also has lots of general information and links to firewall test sites. Take a look at this review even if you have a personal firewall; you may not have all the protection you need.
For various reasons, the following programs will no longer be offered and will be removed:
JavaScript Editor Standard -
The publisher now only offers one version of this program. The JavaScript Editor found on this site from now on is the pro version.
NitroBOOT
Startup Guru will take its place.
SpyCop
The publisher no longer offers it to affiliates.
Mailbox Monitor

The Shareware Genie will now be offering the reviews in DNL format as well as on the regular web page. DNL format is a web book created by Desktop Author and offers a superior method of viewing digital data. Dynamic links to websites, pop up graphics, an index that links to specific pages and turning pages create a document that has easier access to data as well as a huge visual impact. The first review done in this format is for Web Vacuum. Go to the DNL page to get the free reader and other information. This format must be seen to be appreciated. To learn more about making web books in this format, check out the Desktop Autor Review.
Ghostsurf is the best program available for internet security and it just got better. Ghostsurf Pro has been replace by Ghostsurf 2005 Platinum and Ghostsurf 2005 Standard. Ghostsurf Platinum has improved versions of all the Ghostsurf Pro features such as improved spyware removal and ad blocking. Ghostsurf Standard is available for a lower registration price for those who just want the anonymous surfing and trace removal features. The changes in Ghostsurf are so great that the review no longer describes the program accurately. It will be upgraded shortly.
You just paid a bundle for a DVD and one of your kids dropped it and stepped on it. No cause for alarm if you have a DVD burner and DVD Clone Studio. This easy to use program gives you perfect backup copies of your DVD movies every time.
If you've never heard of regular expressions, they allow you to create compact but very powerful patterns to check incoming data, test text formatting, do large scale search and replace functions and more. Those of you who may have an exposure to regular expressions know that, well, they're not really very regular. After all, if you want to make sure that telephone data is input in this format, (123) 456-7890, you'd use a regular expression like this /^\(\d(3)\)\s\d(3)-\d(4)$/. Not very intuitive.
Help has arrived in the form of RegexBuddy. You can create and test your own regular expressions, evaluate ones found in other people's code and more. If you know nothing about regular expressions, the complete tutorial will have you on your way quickly. Experience users and novices alike will speed up their projects and eliminate coding errors with RegexBuddy.

There's been quite a bit of behind the scenes activity since the last update. The details would bore you; the results won't. Check back regularly during the next few weeks to see some exciting new programs.
Two new versions of GhostSurf will be available shortly. The current version posted is no longer supported and shouldn't be downloaded. The review will be updated as soon as possible.
One new program and one new review have been posted.
As you read this, there are more processes and DLLs running on your PC than you want to think about. There was a time you could ignore this but spyware put an end to that. Now DLLs and processes running spyware slow your system to a crawl and make it worthless. The problem is, which process do you need and which should you delete. Clicking CTRL-ALT-DEL will bring up a window to show you what's running in the background. The problem is that the large number of processes, all with non intuitive names, leave you scratching your head and wondering "What IS all this junk running on my PC?".
Thanks to WinTasks 5 Pro, that's no longer a problem. With a built in library of information as well as great control features, users get both the knowledge and ability to take complete control over their PC. Try the evaluation version of WinTasks 5 Pro and see for yourself.
The term "powerful" has been used to describe many full featured software packages. The problem is that when a user says the program is "very powerful" you get the feeling they really mean "I don't know how to use it". There's no doubt that Microangelo is a "powerful" program in regards to having a vast array of features and that users can be overwhelmed by it. Our review will help you get started with examples of how to use the many features of Microangelo. Take a look at the Microangelo review page, download the program and try it for yourself.

Some of the changes mentioned in July have been completed and some still have to be done. The new menu should be up within the next two weeks and all of the "available soon" pages should vanish around the same time. The new review page is up as well as the bottom menus on most of the pages. All of the review pages will change to php pages from HTML. Please change any bookmarks you may have made.
All this is nice but I'm sure you'd rather hear about new programs. Four new programs have been posted which are:
Betty's Beer Bar - The first game posted here. This mildly addictive game has you trying to serve as much beer as you can while giving coffee to drunks. Get better tips for using clean glasses. This isn't going to compete with the popular PS2 games in gameplay or complexity but you'll find it easy to learn and enjoyable to play. Download it and see for yourself.
Caller IP - Sort of like caller ID for the internet. This identifies unauthorized connections to your PC and gives you contact information so you can report abuse to their ISP. Track these jerks down and get them kicked off the net with Caller IP.
CD/DVD Diagnostic - Have a CD or DVD that doesn't like to be read anymore? How about one you wrote with one writer that other drives don't like? CD/DVD Diagnostic will get all of your data from bad CDs or DVDs.
Microangelo - Everything you ever needed to make static icons, moving icons, animated cursors and more. Include five different tools and is the ultimate icon tool.

We lost the mysql server for awhile today which prevented many of the pages from working and killing most of the downloads; it must have been some Friday the 13th bad luck. Everything is working now.

A few behind the scenes events caused the long delay between updates but hopefully you'll find the wait worthwhile. A few things to look for:
Navigational Aids - The growth of the Shareware Genie has caused navigation to suffer so look for more menus and more pages like the Digital Picture Page. We hope this will make things easier to find.
Forum - Look for more information to be posted on the Forum.
New Programs - There will be a LOT more programs added in the next month.
Four more new programs have been added today.
Visual Route is a traceroute utility that identifies where slowdowns in internet traffic is as well as giving you the geographic location of IP addresses. If you have an internet slowdown, this will pinpoint the problem and determine if it is due to your ISP, the Internet, or the host you are trying to reach.
EMail Tracker Pro will tell you the location and IP address of incoming e-mails. It can also be used with Visual Route to give more information and help you report spammers.
Speaking of nuisance controls - CallZap uses your PC modem and your Caller ID service to monitor and block unwanted phone calls. Just think, no more vinyl siding salesmen calling you in the middle of dinner! Additional features give you complete control over which calls get through and which get dumped.
The last of today's additions is Startup Guru which helps your PC boot faster and controls spyware by managing which programs start when your PC boots up.

Three more programs today. Backing up projects is never easy; you always seem to miss one file and then disaster strikes. Auto Synchronizer lets you automatically mirror the folders of your choice to another pc, a server, or removable storage. When you change your original and perform a synchronization, an exact copy of EVERYTHING in your project goes to another location. Perfect for sharing project information or backing up data.
Picking the right color for a web site or graphics project has become much simpler thanks to Color Wheel Expert. Using color wheel theory and color harmony theory, Color Wheel Expert easily creates the matching colors you need.
Screen capture programs are everywhere but Easy Screen Capture allows you to capture all motion on your PC screen as an AVI file. Record your favorite PC game, create tutorials, or find out what others are doing on your PC while your away from it. Captures all keystrokes and mouse movement as well.
Many of the reviews are in progress so look for a lot more to be posted within the next couple of weeks. If you find any part of the reviews to be confusing, please let me know and I'll try to correct the problem. Any general questions can also be posted on the forum.

Digital pictures are so easy to store and so hard to share. The Shareware Genie has a number of solutions to sharing digital pictures:
- Super Compressor will shrink the size for easy storage or transfer
- htAlbum can create a quality web site of your favorite images with little knowlege of the web
- Image Master 2000 can make a variety of slide shows that are easily shared.
Now there's a new way to share your digital images with everyone or only a selected few without ever moving them from your hard drive. PiXPO organizes your pictures in albums and allows you to share these over a peer to peer network. Unlike some of the popular p2p programs, PiXPO allows you to share with everyone or only certain users. It also only allows you to download pictures so you don't have to worry about all the extra nasty junk that you usually get with p2p networks. PiXPO is p2p software designed to create a global picture sharing community; become part of that community and download the evaluation version today.

The Shareware Genie is glad to be able to offer NewsBin; an easy to use but powerful Usenet downloader. Many people don't realize that they have free access to Usenet but the fact is that if you're reading this, you probably DO have free access. If you've never used Usenet, NewsBin is a great introduction. If you're a newsgroup junkie, you'll wonder how you ever lived without this program.
NewsBin has been added to the Digital Picture Program page. If you use digital images, you'll find something of use there.
There's quite a few thing in progress now so look for more reviews and programs to be posted between now and the first week of May.
Issues
1) There are two dead links on the ImageMaster 2000 review page. The reviews they reference were almost complete but were delayed for other projects. The reviews will be posted shortly.
2) I don't require anyone to log in or provide an e-mail address for the forum so feel free to post.
3) I don't sell or give away e-mail addresses so don't think signing up for The Shareware Genie newsletter is an invitation to spam. It's only used for our newsletter.

Image Master 2000 allows you to view and share your digital images by creating slideshows. Simple to use, many features and a low registration cost make Image Master 2000 a great program to have.

There's no doubt that e-mail has become a vital part of business. Not only is it convenient to use but it's also an easy way to keep records. No more file cabinets full of paper to deal with, just a few clicks and you have the information you need.
That is until your hard disk drive crashes.
Fortunately, a solution exists in the form of Outback Plus and Express Assist that make backing up ALL aspects of your Outlook or Outlook Express files easy. If you need more data backed up, check out Eazy Backup.
Two more voice related programs have also been added. Speak Mail 2000 alerts you to new e-mail messages by having a talking character read the message header. The talking character can also read all sorts of documents to you as well as tell jokes, sing and obey voice commands. Speak is essentially the same program without the e-mail applications.

The addition yesterday of the RSS reader, Feed Demon, will certainly help those who download it to gather more information. Today we're adding two programs that gather more traditional media in the form of internet TV and internet Radio. Check out CTube and LiveWire below.
The addition of spoken words to many application would be a big improvement but, in many cases it is largely ignored. Presently, we offer a Voxx, a voice recognition program and plan to add more voice related programs in the future. For today, we are adding Web Speak, which will help you create talking web pages and IM Speak which will turn your text instant messages into spoken ones. Try them out below.
I haven't forgotten the Outlook/Outlook Express add ons and will try to add them by the middle of next week.

While Feed Demon deals with a new technology, we've found programs to deal with old curses too; accidentally deleted data. Three new programs have been added to join Photo Recovery in helping to get data back that's been deleted. Each of these programs offers a solution to specific problems and are NOT merely different applications that do the same thing. If you've lost data, give them a try.

The Creative Suite page isn't up yet so there's a few dead links leading to it on a few of the Internet Tools page. This page will be posted tomorrow.
New Programs
The following programs were added:
C# Editor
Code Chameleon
Draw Magic
Look for the e-mail utilities and a few more graphics programs next week.

As with most of my New Year's resolutions, the one to get this page posted by the first week of January was well intentioned but a bit late.
Issues
Poor placement of the newsletter signup box (home page lower left) has resulted in very few new signups despite the large number of recent visits. Look for a smaller box on the right of most pages that will link to a new sign up page.
The forum has been delayed but not forgotten. E-mail me if you have questions or comments and I'll pass them along on this page for the time being. I'd like the forum to be up and running by mid March.
There will be a special offer for a package of webtools called Creative Suite. You may want to hold off registering the JavaScript Editor, php Editor, Web Effects, or Animator until this offer appears by next week.
New Programs
The following programs were added:
Kabcam
JavaScript Editor Pro
Animator
Animator Pro
Look for some more to be posted tomorrow.
