Share: Downloads: Editor's Collection PCWorld Reviewers' Favorite Files: July 2010July is a busy month for travel and vacations, and our reviewers proved this even while working hard. They gave the thumbs-up to a laptop battery optimizer and a portable encryption utility, for starters. Better system benchmarking and tune-up tools made favorable impressions, as always.
