PHPBB

cant even figure out how to get the ***** thing to work

Pros: couldn't even use it!

Cons: online instructions everywhere suck bad, they don't tell u where to get phpmyadmin, or mysql, write instructions as if you know how to use those latter two, and i keep running into dead links.

The Cleaner Professional

Version: 4.2 build 4319

evil splash screen and ad annoyance

Pros: none

Cons: 1. STUPID JERK MADE A SPLASH SCREEN THAT GOT STUCK IN THE MIDDLE OF MY SCREEN AS WELL AS A HUGE BUY IT NOW REMINDER AD THAT WOULD NOT GO AWAY AFTER A MINUTE AND IT MADE FIREFOX HANG. I HAD TO TERMINATE BOTH, THANKYOU FOR STEALING TIME FROM MY LIFE. Who the hell wants to see a splash screen and had their memory sapped by it? It was bizarre to, a sketch of a bull and a cartoon cleaner guy, yeah that really mixes. Disgusted.

2. One of the parts of this program is a process monitor, and incredibly it took up about 630000 k of memory while task manager only takes up about 5000.

3. It other part is a registry monitor, wow big deal and the thing looks dull as hell. It took up about 8130k.

Forget this evil *****.

Doesn't work.

Pros: None.

Cons: I clicked the exe and I saw it in task manager appear then disappear immediately. I played the wav file as well and IT MAKES NO SOUND. What a waste of time.

Armor2net Personal Firewall

Version: 3.12

It's the Best

Pros: Simple and easy to use.

Cons: You can't skin it, but it's not that big a deal because it has a brushed aluminum look which matches most things, however the color scheme on the inside is kinda ugly and depressing.

You can't make the stupid gif animation in the system tray stop and it's distracting.

And here is a letter I sent to their support person about a minute ago:

Sometimes the icon in the system tray will disappear when I open the console and click the x. It's happened two or three times now but it was still running I could see.

I'm using XP SP2. Also, you still haven't allowed people to see where it locates spyware from the clean spywares console. Why? Seriously, if it's really finding Cydor, which I doubt (and what a coincidence it happens to find it everytime I install it) then could you please show us where it supposedly is hiding? Ugh. Either that or sell the signatures to a spyware company like avg or adaware since that is magically the only thing besides some other obscure thing your program ever seems to find. Why not just a pure firewall? It's not as if you are beating adaware or the other guys you know? And if you decide to get rid of that virtually useless feature, then tell us who you sold it to so we can know which program will be able to check for it. Keep it clean and simple.

JetAudio Basic

Version: 6.2.8

Tries to be too many things and ends up a confusing mess

Pros: It can view many types of file formats, it's nice looking in it's default skin. You can broadcast stuff from your pc.

Cons: It can view many types of file formats, neat, but so what? There are other programs that can do a much better job of that, usually alternatives to microsoft explorer. I also found the console to be confusing, it was a mess of various things with odd names. One reviewer said it was a no-brainer, well yes some of it is, but there were all kinds of weird options, obviously some are useful to others but maybe not me, but again, it looked like a mess and wasn't easy to figure out what I was looking at. One reviewer said there was no help file (well that helps me doesn't it?)

I kept looking for various skins that I could tolerate but they were all flawed or amateur looking in some way. The best one was the mac skin and instead of appearing how it did in this preview picture, it ended up having ugly black fields every other field in the play list. A huge eyesore. I looked at a big list of skins by the way.

One thing that really really annoyed me was that it kept trying to scan ALL my files even though I kept telling it not to do that, it was a huge resource hog when it tried to.

I also read from one review that it does not convert audio files to mp3s, if that is true, why not? I suppose the company wants everyone to move to mp3 pro, maybe they want some fame for starting some mp3 pro movement?

Conclusion:

It's not as good as winamp that's for sure as far as available skins, GOOD looking skins, simplicity, and ease of use.
