Dr. File Finder's Picks

Reviews of Excellent Software

by Michael E. Callahan aka Dr. File Finder ™

Reviewed This Week......


Reviewed by Dr. File Finder
Greetings and Welcome Back! I'm so glad you could join me on this day before Halloween! When I was a kid we used to call this Devil's Night, but I'm not sure what they call it anymore. In any event, I've been keeping very busy, as always, looking at lots and lots of really good software. And, I've picked out some excellent programs to tell you about. I hope you'll enjoy reading about my Picks for this week. So, if you're all set, sit back, relax, and lets take a look!

  • CoffeeCup Spam Blocker
  • Version: 3.5
  • System Requirements: Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP

    CoffeeCup Spam Blocker, by CoffeeCup Software, Inc., is a spam filtering program for POP3 mail accounts that's impressive in its simplicity. The program is very intuitive and extremely easy-to-use. That makes it perfect for both new and experienced users. The program gives you the power to monitor and filter the email from multiple accounts, which it does quietly in the background. The program comes with its own SPAM filters which you can easily add to. This segment of the program is quite impressive because it lets you filter on a variety of criteria. Filter by email address, email domain, file extension of a file attachment, words or phrases, and even by country. The program will also let you filter out all emails that use "non-Western" character sets. Very slick! And also quite effective. I was dazzled by how intuitive the program was right out of the proverbial box.

    CoffeeCup Spam Blocker also helps you to protect all the emails sent by those you want to receive emails from. The program lets you import your addresses from Microsoft Outlook, Eudora, and Outlook Express. Don't use one of those email programs? NO problem, because you can also import all your email addresses from a text file which makes it very easy and flexible! I like that. I often get emails from software authors who are not in my "friends" list and here again, no problem. Spam Blocker makes it easy to add a new email address to your list of friends. And, at the same time, it makes it just as easy to add an address to the list of emails to block. Another impressive feature gives you the ability to determine how an email gets filtered. For example, you can indicate that if any X number of keywords appear in an email then it should be marked as SPAM. And, you can do the same when you add words or phrases of your own. Excellent!

    CoffeeCup Spam Blocker, by CoffeeCup Software, Inc., Is a powerful program for filtering out junk email, or "spam." The program is very easy-to-use and very intuitive. You can easily add all your friends emails so they will not get filtered. Add new friends while also being able to add new things to the "blacklist." When you've scanned the incoming emails, you can "clear" the display, which means you only have to deal with so many emails at a time -- that's a very nice feature! I was totally impressed with how well the program works. So, if you're looking for a program to help you filter out junk email, this may be just what you're looking for. Give it a try - I recommend it highly!


  • WebDrive
  • Version: 5.32
  • System Requirements: Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000/XP

    WebDrive, by South River Technologies, is a nifty, and powerful, utility that lets you treat your FTP site like a network drive! And that would be cool just by itself but it also lets you use your existing program to modify the files on your Web site. For example, I put a couple of Microsoft Word documents on my Web site, using WebDrive, and then could edit those files using Word! Very slick! And it's easy to put files on your new "drive." You can simply save files there or you can also drag and drop existing files. Trust me, this program is loaded with features. It can work with WebDAV, FTP, or FrontPage servers and also has proxy support built right in. It's file transfer capabilities include secure transfers and even the ability to resume and aborted transfer! That's a pretty handy feature to have. Ahhh, but there's more.

    WebDrive is extremely secure. In fact, it utilizes the SSL (Secure Socket Layer) technology that has become the standard around the Internet. In this way you can know that the connection between your computer and the server, is secure. The program also lets you configure multiple servers so you aren't limited in that respect. And, you can assign each one a different drive letter so you don't get them confused. The program even has a "site manager" where you can have all your online connections listed. You can log in to password protected sites or sites where you sign on as an anonymous user. What's very cool to me, as an "old-timer" is that I can even use DOS commands on the WebDrive drives. That's impressive. And if all that weren't enough, I even backed up my Web site to CD, just like it was any other drive. Cool!

    WebDrive, by South River Technologies, is a powerful Internet utility that's really very easy-to-use. I think it would be useful for both new and experienced users. The program is secure, which is important, but it's also extremely handy. Treat your Web server just like it was another drive on your computer. The program makes it easy to quickly transfer files back and forth and you can even user your applications to alter files on the Web server. Configure a number of servers and assign each one a unique drive letter. Heck, you can even assign driver letters to subdirectories on your Web server. The program is very nicely done. So, if you're looking for a quick and easy way to update your Web site, share documents, backup you computer, and more, you need to take a really good look at WebDrive! I think you're going to like it!

    Ashampoo Illuminator, by ashampoo GmbH & Co. KG, is a powerful program for working with all kinds of graphics images. And really, it's much more than just a single program -- it's really multiple programs in one, neat package. Why do I say that? Because it can do so much.

It does this through a series of "wizards" that make the program a real powerhouse.

There's also a Conversion Wizard that can quickly convert large numbers of images from one graphics format to another. Very slick!

    Ashampoo Illuminator doesn't stop there, however, but gives you lots more tools for working with images. One of my favorites is called the "SeeYa! Wizard" and it compiles pictures you select into a slide show that's self-executing. These files can be easily sent by email. What a cool way to share pictures with family and friends. And if that weren't enough, there's also a "Slideshow Wizard" that helps you to build professional-looking slideshows. If you'd like to create your own screen saver, you can do that as well with the screen saver wizard. Other wizards make it easy to burn your images to CD, email them to friends and family, do screen captures, and print our you pictures.

    Ashampoo Illuminator, by ashampoo GmbH & Co. KG, is a wonderful program for anyone who has a large number of graphics images. The program gives you a variety of ways to utilizes graphics and pictures and it makes it easy to do. Create your own wallpaper, slideshows, and more.

At the same time, it give you total control over all the graphics that are on your computer. So, if you're into graphics, this is a program you ought to try! It has all the power you'll need.
