Ad-Aware 2007

Version: 7.0.2.6

NO and NEVER.

Pros: WAS a good product when it was the SE Personal version, small, easy to use, fast and non-intrusive.

Cons: I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOO disappointed that Lavasoft has stopped updates on Ad-Aware SE Personal and forced everyone (just like Microsoft does) to update to the lastest bloated, crappy and slow 2007 version. This product went from like 5MB to 20MB+, very high on resources, has processes running behind your back and takes 5 times longer to scan. I am also not very pleased with the interface nor have I noticed this product catches anything but traffic cookies. I honestly have NO idea where all the space taken comes from in this product, and why it takes almost more than 20 minutes just to do a SMART scan when the SE personal only took about 2-3 minutes to get the job done.

I am through with this product, and I am trying to find a BETTER alternative on Download.com to replace this useless product.

WinRAR

Version: 3.71

Love it!

Pros: WinRAR has such an easy interface, and extracts quite an amount of file types. Very small in size, had it for years, hasn't crashed on me once, and it looks pretty nice (no bumpy ugly icons, etc.) I had it installed for a while, and even though it says it's not "free", it pretty much is. If you use it, and this window comes out asking you to enter key, you can just click "close" and continue using it, unless I am missing out on something. I always prefer this out of WinZIp.

Cons: Thankfully, this protect hasn't let me down yet. I'm glad I found no cons in this product! :)

Glary Utilities

Version: 2.4

Well done, but using it for a little, and I love it.

Pros: Glary Utilities, in my opinion is one of the best cleaning software I used. Although it's a bit big (about 16MB) it does everything else paid cleaners do. It has Disk Cleaning, Registry cleaning, shortcut fixer, uninstall manager, and a lot other useful features for protecting your privacy. Glary Utilities is very efficient and FREE. I have spent money for the past year on Ace Utilties and finally gave up when I found this useful product for free that does everything a paid software does. It's very fast, accurate, very easy on your resources, and hasn't crashed on me at all. Highly recommended.

Cons: I didn't see a registry backup .. that's a tool Ace Utilities have incase you made a mistake in your registry cleaner. Although I can't complain since this is free.

Google Pack beta

Version: 2.2.940.34809

Didn't choose the best software.

Pros: I really love Google and the material they provide me for free (gmail, search engine, etc)

Cons: I don't really like the products they chose in this pack. Although Google chose necessary security and popular programs that are needed, I don't think they chose the proper ones (instead chose the "name branded" ones. For many reasons. First, Norton Security Scan; for my life, I've had Norton preinstalled with every computer I bought, and the programs Norton have made are very large, heavy on resources and disk space, and constantly nags you about everything (even the interface is slow!) Scans are slow also. Adobe Reader is also not my favorite. This PDF reader is also pretty big and constantly asks for updates that are mostly not necessary. Adobe Reader is also very heavy on resources and doesn't open PDFs as fast as FoxIt Reader.

I also never found Spyware Doctor efficient with its spyware scanning. Bad enough the actual version is buggy, slow, inaccurate, and also heavy on resources, I doubt the Starter Edition will do any better. Hate to say this but Ad-Aware 2007 would have been a better choice although it's also very slow, and bloated. However, I am glad Google created this package software for people to use.

Avast Home Edition

Version: 4.8.1169

Wow fascinating!

Pros: And people recommended me to use AVG antivirus? I can't believe this program comes with so many features in such a small, easy to use interface. Not only does it scan for viruses now, but it also includes anti-rootkit protection, antispyware, and even less memory usage! I love this antivirus, it has so many easy to use features that can save you from viruses and allow you to safely browse the web. It is so non-intrusive and good for anyone who wants a working FREE antivirus! Worth more than the free price!

Cons: None so far. I'd love to see a firewall, but I can't complain, this program could take a while to make, and since it is free, I'm satisfied.
