exeLibrary

This is not a piece of software, this is a website. On this website you can search for the unknown executable (xxx.exe) you have just spotted in your task manager. Is it legit or is it some kind of malware?

It will tell the threat level in the case of malware and if it’s legit it will tell if it’s critical to have it running. I once in a while disable stuff from starting up after identifying it. As you might know, lots of programmers find their piece of software very important, so some silly service or executable will have to run at all times when you start up your computer.

ImgBurn

ImgBurn is a lightweight burning application for CD/DVD/HD DVD/Blu Ray discs. It works on all Windows OS’s from 95 to Vista including all 64 bit versions, Unicode file/folder names support is present. It is reported to work under Linux through Wine.

Despite the name, it can not only burn images (including BIN, DI, DVD, GI, IMG, ISO, MDS, NRG and PDI), it can also read to image, build iso’s from files on your harddisk or burn them directly to disc. It will automatically detect if you are trying to build or write a video dvd and you will be presented with a layer break selection screen if needed for your dual-layer discs. Bootable discs are also an option and the image queue system can be handy if you need to burn a lot of different images, especially if you have multiple burners. Some other small functions are changing the volume label and displaying the media code of your media.

It does not have a 1:1 copy function and can not circumvent copy protections including decryption of dvd’s. This program is from the creator of dvd-decrypter, so if you know about that story you’ll know why these things are not included, if not read the article on Wikipedia.

Anyway, I have been using this program for quite a while now, and I’m using it exclusively for all my data burning. The interface is as clean as it can get and it really is lightweight.
