Since the release of ScareAware, there has been nothing but positive feedback for SaveMeLabs and for this I thank you! The idea of this post is just to inform you on what happening in the future…

The first major change, is the discontinuation of our ScareAware product. The main reason behind this is because for one product, it was taking up so much time! As you may recall, in the previous post I mentioned how it is tricky trying to program new software whilst also keeping ScareAware updated. Although ScareAware lived for only a few months, it was definitely not a waste of time based on the positive response from the community and the 4000 downloads that ScareAware managed to get which is pretty impressive considering it was our first project. We have decided that ScareAware will stay on all of the current download sites, however we believe it is for the best that we do not release the source code for this project (although we are looking forward to the possibility of future open-source projects!).

Moving on, I want to give a little info on some future products.
Most of the products currently in development are going to be aimed at helping the user complete tasks otherwise difficult or time consuming and a perfect example is something we have been working on for several weeks currently nearing completion…

Have you ever reinstalled your computer and been faced with the task of reinstalling the software you had previously? Common programs such as your Web Browser, Anti-Malware Software, and your computer maintenance programs? Occasionally you may copy the setup files from your downloads folder before reinstalling, or have the setup files on an external HD or a USB key… however there is a good chance that the setup files you have are outdated. This is what the new software will help with! Many common programs will be included, and we will ensure that we always keep it updated with the latest download.

So how does it work? It is very simple really, it is a typical interface with a few tabs and checkboxes. We could have included a lot of bells and whistles however we decided that simple is best. So you click the checkbox you want, and it will download the software from the publisher or other reliable source. The tabs will have different categories of software such as Security Software, Maintenance Software, and some other categories.

Whilst it may not sound like the next award winning software, it is a small utility which has the potential to help many users. Of course, the software will be free and the source code may well be released in future. We expect the release date to be some time in the next week or two, if all goes to plan.
