Go out and buy a new Windows 7 based PC and you’ll soon be installing and testing new software. We all do it. Problem is, after a while installing and removing software will leave all sorts of unnecessary information all over your PC. You need third-party cleansing tools to remove the mess.

Ashampoo WinOptimizer 2010 Advanced is our current free full product, worth £35. Better still, it’s Windows 7 compatible, so you can download and use this app to optimise your machine, cleanse your drive and much more. It’s available to download from your software store.

We’ve recently added multi-computer and multi-year versions of the AVG and Kaspersky security products to the software store. You can now choose from AVG Internet Security v9 in a 1-PC, 3-PC and 1-Year and 2-Year license options. The same applies to Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 in 1-PC, 3-PC and 5-PC options, so you can protect every computer on your home or small office network.

We also believe we have some of the keenest AVG and Kaspersky prices on the market and are continually reviewing these prices.

At this time of the year, some people might expect to receive a brand new laptop or other Windows 7 PC for Christmas. Either that or they’ll go our and treat themselves to a new laptop in the post-Christmas and New Year sales! Either way, you will want to migrate your data from your old computer and won’t want to spend time re-installing all your old applications. It’s never as simple as it should be getting old apps on your new machine.

There’s a much better solution and that is Laplink PCmover. I used this superb application when I moved across my data from my old Vista PC to my new Windows 7 computer, a few weeks ago. The big difference between PCmover and other migration tools is that PCmover will enable you to move across your old installed applications. Select the two computers, let the migration take place, come back an hour later, reboot your new computer and you’ll find all your previously installed apps on the new machine. Perfect. A real time-saver.

Note that you’ll need a cable to connect between the two computers. You can use a crossover ethernet cable, connect both to the same network or use the high-speed USB cable which is designed to allow bi-directional movement between the two computers. Better still, buy Laplink PCmover from your software store and we’ll give you the option to buy the Laplink PCmover USB cable for 50% off our regular price!

It’s taken a while, but the Cyberlink products have now been added to your software store and, even better, available at a discount through December. Throughout this month you can obtain discounts of between 25-30% from the RRP of some of the popular Cyberlink software products, including Cyberlink MediaShow 5 Deluxe and Cyberlink PowerDVD 9 Standard.

These products are available for immediate download and, if you purchase the Extended Download Insurance, you can keep your order secure for up to two years from your order date.

We’re big fans of Acronis True Image 2010, for a good reason. This superb award-winning backup and restore tool will enable you to make a regular backup of your drive, a partition or individual files and folders.

Better still, we have the current version of Acronis True Image 2010 available for 40% off the RRP, which means that anyone across the globe can purchase and save in their local currency.

As well as enabling you to purchase software at a discount, from your software store, we want to be able to give you full software to download, free of charge. We now have four full commercial applications available to download, which include Uniblue SpeedUpMyPC 2009, Ashampoo Photo Commander 6.5, Ashampoo Slideshow Studio 2010 and Ashampoo Burning Studio 2010. The Ashampoo products are all Windows 7 compatible.

Look out for further full applications over the next few weeks.
