Sleep Preventer 1.3 – Prevents your computer from going to sleep, hibernate, dim the display or start the screensaver. Application runs in the system tray when closed. Similar to Caffeine for OS X. Toggle on/off by clicking the systray icon.

What advantage does this have over setting the power options? Ease of use?

Why use some sketchy software when it takes 3 minutes to do the exact same thing in Windows?

Do note that the software might contain something dangerous embedded inside. Just go to power options in control panel to change the sleep time / disable it.

Or you can just use the Windows control panel power options and not install sketchy software that does something useless (+ more?):

Very nice interface.  You should offer it as shareware.

I prefer the non-interface version, save as nosleep.cmd and just run it once:
powercfg -CHANGE -standby-timeout-ac 0
powercfg -CHANGE -hibernate-timeout-ac 0
echo = Shareware! =

It is like cgminer for power.  You should call it cgpower.
