Question: Does clearing Computer History and Internet Files help speed up my Computer?
Answer: Many programs falsely claim to help fix your computer by clearing this information but they are usually harmful programs that scam people for money, and in fact clearing this information slows down many features while only moderately speeding up startup times. Basically you can think of your computer as a book. In the back of many books there is an index; it doesn’t take up many pages and helps you quickly find what you need. A computer works the same way; it has many indexes that take several extra seconds to open when you first turn on your computer, but then when you use your computer they actually help speed it up. With InfoFind you can clear this information if you want to keep it private otherwise there is no need to delete it.

Question: Is InfoFind available in languages other then English?
Answer: InfoFind is currently available only in English; however the top priority of Omnicognic is to publish InfoFind in additional languages. Please check back soon because new languages will become available as Omnicognic expands.

Question: What does the name Omnicognic mean?
Answer: Omnicognic is latin for "all knowing" or "to have all knowledge".

Question: Are there other Programs like InfoFind?
Answer: There are programs that have certain features of InfoFind, but InfoFind is unique in the fact that it provides so much in one program and is easy and fast to use. Here are a few examples of how InfoFind is different:

Computer History Viewing / Deleting

Other Programs: Very few programs display history but a number of spyware and harmful programs claim to clear history. Those that can actually view history just display the history for a few programs or only a portion of the history. Most often programs that can't view the history but try to delete it harm the computer by damaging critical system files. Most programs that just clear history are actually spam, spyware, or malware programs and do much more harm then good and often don't actually delete the files they claim too. Deleting History Files without knowing how to read them is like removing a part on a car without knowing what it is or how it works. Any program that wants you to reboot your computer to delete history files may cause damage to your operating system and the stability of your computer. If a program cannot read the history then it simply shouldn’t be used to clear it.

InfoFind: InfoFind displays all history for all programs on one easy to use screen and InfoFind displays the history to the most detailed level showing exact times a program, file, or web page was accessed and how many times it was accessed. InfoFind displays a lot of hidden information that other programs can’t find, and InfoFind knows how to properly delete all history that it shows. With proper privileges on the computer (Admin/Power User permissions) you can even view history for other users on the computer. In addition to this InfoFind provides easy to use reporting and searching for your computer's history.

Unit Conversion (i.e.: Imperial Foot to Metric Meter)

Other Programs: Most programs that perform unit conversion calculate the units incorrectly. For example most programs will convert a foot to meter then to an inch rather then converting similar units together; when doing this some programs will even show a 11.9999 inches in a foot rather then the correct answer of 12. Many programs on the internet are simply copies of each other, contain no references to where the calculations are from and will always have a few completely incorrect calculations. To appear advanced some programs will try to offer advanced settings with many decimal points and then allow you to see a result of “9.9999999...” rather then the correct result. In addition to getting basic calculations wrong many of these programs are confusing and hard to use.

InfoFind: InfoFind is the best solution possible for unit conversion because InfoFind contains the most accurate calculations for over 1,000 units in more then 80 categories. However rather then display an overwhelming number of units only the most common units are displayed at first. InfoFind is simple and easy to use with quick searching and filtering of results. All unit conversion calculations that InfoFind uses are be based entirely upon the most widely used and referred to standards; and InfoFind can display the formulas that it uses to calculate.

Encryption

Other Programs: Encryption is a very advanced topic, but being able to use encryption is important for things like file backups or transferring files or sending private emails. There are many very good encryption programs on the market but often they are too difficult for most people to use. Many of these are also expensive.

InfoFind: InfoFind provides very easy to use file encryption and very easy to use text/message encryption. InfoFind can encrypt multiple files and folders at the same time and can even encrypt the file names so that your information is completely confidential.

Computer System Information

Other Programs: There are many programs that display portions of a computer’s system information. Some of these programs are harmful, but some work well so it can be confusing to know what to use. For example, many programs claim to display computer startup programs and then they will display 10 to 20 programs while there is actually 100’s of programs that startup when you turn on your computer. Even most programs that can actually display valid system information make it hard to access and report on.

InfoFind: InfoFind provides a number of features for viewing, searching, and reporting on computer system information. For example, for startup programs InfoFind will display all startup programs for all users when you first turn on your computer or open a web browser on a single screen. In addition to simply displaying and filtering the information InfoFind allows you to create Excel, Web Page, or Text Reports so that you can easily share this information other people or with computer support personal.

Question: How often is InfoFind updated?
Answer: InfoFind will usually be updated every few months.

Question: Do I need to upgrade InfoFind frequently?
Answer: No, once you install InfoFind you are never required to install a new version or upgrade it. Once installed it is always intended to work without having to download new patches and versions. Most software companies try to force computer users to upgrade constantly, while Omnicognic understands that many businesses and consumers have computers that are 5 to 10 years old or older. As long as you can turn on your computer Omnicognic intends on having software that will help you with whatever computer you need to work with.

Question: Does InfoFind require a Fast Computer to Run?
Answer: No InfoFind checks the computer to determine the best way to run, and InfoFind will run fast on an old Windows 95 Computer or a top of the line Windows Vista Computer.

Question: What Computers can InfoFind Run on?
Answer: InfoFind can run on all versions of Windows since Windows 95. The same setup file works for all versions. Reports or files generated by InfoFind can be used on non-Windows computers such as Apple Mac.

Question: Is there any way to run InfoFind on a Mac?
Answer: Yes, newer Apple Mac computers support Microsoft Windows by dual booting the computer with Boot Camp or through Virtualization. However InfoFind will not display the computer history of the Mac Computer. Even without the history feature there will be many benefits with purchasing Windows and installing it along with InfoFind on a Mac. A version of InfoFind may be available for Mac Computers in the future, please check back soon.

Question: Will a Linux/Unix Version of InfoFind be available in the future?
Answer: Omnicognic intends upon developing software for all computers so a version of InfoFind may be available for Linux/Unix Computers in the future. Currently reports generated from InfoFind can be viewed on Linux Computers and InfoFind Web Tools is tested on and made not only for Linux, but all major browser platforms.

Question: When was InfoFind first released?
Answer: InfoFind was released in July, 2008. The reason the copyright date starts with 2001 is because InfoFind was written over a seven year period before being released to the public.

Question: What Databases does InfoFind work with?
Answer: When first Installed InfoFind includes support for IBM AS/400, IBM DB2, Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQLite.
