Spoon

Spoon virtualization lets you run desktop apps anywhere with no installs – at work, at home, or on the road.

There are a list of applications and games in various categories in Spoon website, where you can launch 7-Zip, VLC Media Player, Open Office, Google Talk, Paint.net, Picasa, uTorrent or Notepad++ directly from the web browser.

As you can see, these apps are run in a virtualized environment. Buffering may take a while, depending on the speed of the Internet connection, the application’s size and the current load of the Spoon servers. They looks exactly like the original though a bit slow as it is all in the cloud.

Spoon applications can be accessed from the Web at Spoon.net, on third-party websites via Spoon Feeds, and in private enterprise clouds using Spoon Server as long as you have installed the Spoon plug-in. It is compatible with the popular web browsers, including Firefox, Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Opera and Safari.

It is highly recommended for users who want to run or test applications without installing them first.

Once executed the user can choose two types of vaccinations: Computer Vaccination or USB Drive Vaccination. USB Vaccine allows users to vaccinate their PCs in order to disable autorun completely so that no program from any USB/CD/DVD drive (regardless of whether they have been previously vaccinated or not) can auto-execute. This is a really helpful feature as there is no user friendly and easy way of completely disabling autorun on a Windows PC. Panda USB Vaccine can be used on individual USB drives to disable its autorun.inf file in order to prevent malware infections from spreading automatically.

With Core Affinity Resident, you can easily set Windows processes to use different processors in order to make a program run faster or to isolate a particular program that uses a lot of processing power, and save your preferences.

Once you download and run this utility, an icon will be placed in system tray area. Clicking on the Core Affinity Resident system tray icon will bring list of running applications. Once your target application is selected, its core affinity will be shown. Now proceed to check or uncheck the desired cores and then push ‘Save’. Now your software will use only the cores you want to, and will remember your preferences in the future.

Note that setting processor affinity is only useful for programs that actually support hyper-threading. If you try this on a non hyper-threading process, it won’t make any difference and could actually slow your computer down. If you have an older application running on a dual core machine, you can set the program uses only a single core to prevent it from eating up 100% of the CPU.

DiskInternals Linux Reader provides for read-only access and does not allow you to make records in Ext2/Ext3 file system partitions. This guarantees that the interference in an alterative file system will not affect the work of Linux later. Apart from this, it is necessary to note, that it gives you an opportunity to use common Windows Explorer for extracting data. A preview option for pictures is one more pleasant point, which is worth mentioning.

For read and write access to the Ext2/Ext3 file system, Paragon ExtBrowser (which we have previously mentioned) is the tool where you can read, write, modify, create, delete files and folders under Windows.

While saving, it ignores file security policies. It means that it is possible to access absolutely any file on a Linux disk from Windows. The program can create and open images of Ext2/Ext3 disks.
