Power Defrag is a system tool designed to optimize the performance of the Windows 98 Disk Defragmenter Applet. Many people have experienced problems with the performance of the Windows 98 Disk Defragmenter, especially on slower and low memory machines. Some systems lock up entirely, while most take an inordinate amount of time to completely defragment the hard disk drive. Power Defrag eliminates these problems, and by some cunning system manipulation, ensures that your hard drive is defragmented optimally at your convenience.

Process Viewer 2000 for Windows 95/98 by Ble Enterprises allows you to view all active processes (not only those listed in the "ctrl-alt-del-menu"). You can terminate ("kill") each of the active processes, you can copy their paths to the clipboard, you can view and change their priority, you can register and unregister a process as a service, view their properties, etc. If you have to terminate the same process(es) often, you can create a script. When you double-click this script in explorer, PV2K will automatically kill that process.

Altivore. Network ICE is posting a feature-complete version of the FBI's Carnivore to its website. Recently, a spokesman for a prominent privacy group made the erroneous claim that Carnivore could not selectively capture a single person's e-mail and ignore all others. With Altivore, they've clearly shown (in source-code form) exactly how this is done. Misunderstanding of the technical issues only dilutes the debate over the privacy issue.
