AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition

Version: 8.0.1

Provides good protection for free, but...

Pros: The user interface is much nicer than the previous versions. I didn't care much about the E-mail Scanner being for 30 days since I don't use any mail programs such as Outlook at home.

Cons: I had major issues with the LinkScanner feature. It slowed down Firefox and caused crashes after install. If you disable it, your AVG shows an alert so I disabled the Firefox Add-on from the browser menu. A feature like this should be optional and not forced to you.

Skype

Version: 1.3.0.57

Really good program.

Pros: *Free calls to all Skype users in the world.

*They have a prepaid service with low rates if you want to call regular phone numbers.

*You can send SMS, leave Voicemail if your contact is not online etc etc. Many features.

*With group voice conversations you can talk to many people at the same time.

*They even have Skype for Pocket PC which allows me to use this great program on my PDA as well.

Cons: *It doesn't support multiple user settings well on the same PC. Nothing major but probably they'll fix it in the future realeases.

*It's not popular. Most people are still using the MSN or Yahoo Messengers.

Safari

Version: 3.1.1

Not so good

Pros: As Apple claims the browser is very fast and uses little memory. Nice sleek design. The web sites look nice.

Cons: There are much better options out there. Unlike Firefox, it doesn't have an option to clear cookies after you close the browser. The most annoying thing for me was there is no option to set so that Safari always opens the new links in the tabs on the current window. Each time you click a link that opens on a new window, Safari continuously opens new windows and this just gets annoying. Another down side, there are no add-ons like in Firefox.

Ad-Aware 2007

Version: 7.0.2.6

What happened to the old Ad-Aware?

Pros: Compared to the old version, nothing at all!

Cons: Everything is bad with this software. Works slow. The new update manager runs separately and crashes most of the time. Sometimes it shuts itself down after the update with no confirmation that your update is actually successful. The spyware detection is good but there are others out there. Lavasoft should seriously sack the team that programmed this junk.
