We are all concerned about privacy and security but relatively few PC users actually ever get around to doing something about it. Now there’s no excuse, a small freeware utility called EncryptOnClick can encrypt any file on your PC in just a second or two. Just open the program and select the file, tap in your password or PIN and its done. The file is compressed and scrambled using strong 256-bit AES encryption, which will keep most nosey parkers at bay. The program is small, under 4Mb, and it fits easily on a USB pen drive, so you can protect your files when you are on the move.
Speaking as a regular ebay user, I am constantly being outbid in the last seconds of an auction, almost certainly by automated bidding programs, and it’s ticking me off! On the very shaky premise that if you can’t beat ’em, join ’em, I am now seriously considering going over to the dark side and using what’s known as a ‘sniping tool’ to do my bidding for me and based on my researches, it seems that one of the best is a freeware utility called JbidWatcher. It’s very easy to set up, you feed it your ebay details, tell it what you want to bid on, how much you are prepared to pay, and how late you want to make a bid and it gets on with it. Moments before the auction ends JBid makes it move, and if you are successful, the item is yours, assuming of course that rival bidders are not using sniping tools as well, set to place higher bids even later than you…
