KeyScrambler Personal v2.2.0 [1.09M] [Win2k/XP/Vista] Free
A free plug-in for IE, Firefox, or Flock Web browser that protects everything you type. It defeats keyloggers 
by encrypting at the keyboard driver level, deep within the operating system. When the encrypted keystrokes reach your browser, 
KeyScrambler decrypts them so you see exactly what you've typed. Keyloggers can record only the encrypted keys, 
which KeyScrambler has made indecipherable.

Pictomio  Free
It's not often that you see "Shader Model 2.0 capable (hardware DirectX 9) GPU" on the list of a program's system requirements, 
but that's the case with Pictomio. Once you see how it displays your photos, you'll understand why. Pictomio not only gives you more 
attractive versions of the thumbnail and filmstrip views you that you get with competitor Picasa, it provides the carousel-style display made
popular by Mac OS X Leopard. That's a slideshow effect that makes photos zoom/rotate into and out of view as if they were a child on a carousel. 
It's very, very slick looking, yet somehow, quite human.
