I have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.
In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.
To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.
Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.

I tried to download one of the apps on this list (RockXP) and Avast alerted me it contained malware. Ironic, since Avast is on the list too.

While downloading RockXP [768 KB | Freeware | Win XP] RockXP can help you to easily retrieve your XP product key as well as any other keys for your other Microsoft products. This may not sound like a big deal, but it can be if you need to reinstall a program and you've misplaced the product key information.
McaFee as well as WIndows Defender stopped it as a serious problem, with virus detected.
Is this a false positive or does it have a virus piggy backing on it?

I appreciate the information, but a REAL help would be to put all the files into a ZIP file for me to download all with one click...
No comment yet on the trojans - I'll see what AVG says about them...

AVG anti-spy/virus did not complain about the downloads. Usually SnapFiles is pretty good about making sure they don't give you bad stuff!

I have one and they're awesome, a program I always keep on it is the PC De-Crapifier, good for clearing Dell PCs of all the bloated software!

Although I haven't used "KeePass Password Safe", I have been using "Password Safe" (by Counterpane Systems) for years and recommend it. Note that the later is open source.
