AntiFreeze tries to offer an innovative solution to a very common problem which has been experienced by nearly ever computer user: an unresponsive system which is so busy with the running tasks that it is virtually hanging and not usable anymore. AntiFreeze offers a last recourse when you find your computer in a hung state.
Often in such a situation it may help you to press ALT+CTRL+DEL to start the Windows task manager so you can kill the process which is consuming all available resources. But if the system is so busy that it does not respond to your mouse clicks and key presses then even the task manager may not be able to help you. If you see no other solution than pressing the reset button, AntiFreeze may help you out instead.

Windows Vista from Microsoft takes a lot of resources, we all know that. So here is the tool for easy removal of the unwanted components in order to make Vista run faster and to your liking. vLite can also create the bootable ISO and apply the tweaks directly.
This tool doesn´t use any kind of hacking, all files and registry entries are protected as they would be if you install the full version only without the components you select for the removal.
It configures the installation directly, before the installation, meaning you´ll have to remake the ISO and reinstall it. This method is much cleaner, not to mention easier and more logical than doing it after installation on every reinstall.

Your computer not up to speed? AtomicCleaner cleans up unneeded files and can increase speed by up to 60%, meaning your computer turns on faster, loads documents faster and even downloads faster. With regular updates too, your computer will never be slow again!
How does it work?
Cache Clearance:
When you visit websites files are stored on your computer. This means that loading times are faster next time you visit the site. However, by the time you next visit that site, on average 6 out of 10 websites will have updated, leaving those files simply cluttering your computer. 70% of websites we visit, we do not return to. This means that you have, on average, 200mb of files that you do not need on your hard drive. This slows down your computer dramatically. Luckily, AtomicCleaner cleans up these files – leaving your less cluttered, and much faster.
Cookies:
Almost every site you visit leaves traces on your computer. These are called cookies. They are why websites are able to remember who you are and tell you when you last visited a site. However, they also have a rather sinister side to them. They can be used by advertising companies to trace your activity on the internet, invading your privacy and, to a degree, slowing down your computer. AtomicCleaner removes these – restoring your security and privacy on the internet.
3rd Party Files:
Are you a fan of peer-to-peer downloading? Every time you download a file from peer-to-peer networks, using programs like Limewire or Bittorrent, you leave traces all over your computer. These traces can tell anyone, even the least technologically literate, exactly what you downloaded, where from and when. However, these files do not just apply to downloading. Many applications leave traces of your activity on your computer, including browsers, media players and image viewers. AtomicCleaner destroys these files, without deleting the files you downloaded – leaving your computer trace free, and much faster.
