Handy Password 1.2.0

http://www.handypassword.com/

With all of the online activity most people are engaged in these days, it may be difficult to keep track of all the different passwords that they use to access various secure sites. This edition of Handy Password should be quite helpful, as the program allows for the storage of encrypted passwords locally on the users' home computer. The program is built into Internet Explorer as a toolbar, and is relatively easy to install. Handy Password 1.2 is compatible with all systems running Windows 98 and above. [KMG]



Magellan Metasearch beta-2

http://sourceforge.net/projects/magellan2/

This beta version of Magellan Metasearch may definitely be worth taking a look at, as it would seem to offer several advantages over some of its commercial counterparts. With Magellan Metasearch visitors can monitor as many search engines as they want, along with garnering the ability to use a complex query language with full Boolean syntax and proximity operators. This edition of Magellan is compatible with all operating systems. [KMG]
