Rainmeter Beta

Rainmeter is a customizable performance meter, which can display the CPU load, memory utilization, disk space, network traffic, time and many more things.

Through Rainmeter, you can enhance your Windows computer at home or work with skins: handy, compact applets which float freely on your desktop, much like Windows Sidebar gagdgets, or dashboard widgets for Mac.

Rainmeter skins provide you with useful information at a glance. It's easy to keep an eye on your system resources, like memory and battery power, or your online data streams, including email, RSS feeds, and weather forecasts. Many skins are even functional: they can record your notes and to-do lists, launch your favorite applications, and send your tweets to twitter- all in a clean, unobtrusive interface that you can rearrange and customize to your liking.

Features:

• Freeform skins
• Supports Windows transparency
• Plugin system for 3rd party support
• Anti-aliased drawing routines
• Works also as Litestep plugin
• Has ability to hide on mouse over
• Can stick to the desktop (i.e. doesn´t hide with Show Desktop)
• Skins can react to mouse events
• Multiple skins can be ran at the same time
• Can be controlled from 3rd party applications with !bangs

Rainmeter can measure:

• CPU load
• Allocated Memory
• Network Traffic

Eraser

Eraser is an advanced security tool, which allows you to completely remove sensitive data from your hard drive by overwriting it several times with carefully selected patterns.

You can drag and drop files and folders to the on-demand eraser, use the convenient explorer extension or use the integrated scheduler to program overwriting of unused disk space or, for example, browser cache files to happen regularly, at night, during your lunch break, at weekends or whenever you like.

The patterns used for overwriting are based on Peter Gutmann´s paper "Secure Deletion of Data from Magnetic and Solid-State Memory" and they are selected to effectively remove the magnetic remnants from the hard disk.

Other methods include the one defined in the National Industrial Security Program Operating Manual of the US Department of Defense and overwriting with pseudorandom data. You can also define your own overwriting methods.
