TVUPlayer

Version: 2.2.0

Pretty Good!

Pros: Well ~ I was very skeptical when I first download this software. The potential for security issues are extremely high when using a software of this nature. With those concerns, I did some extensive testing on the TVUPlayer. I was shocked as to its performance and the lack of potential security issues. I tested this software with every security tool you can name without any positive results. Amazing, because I really expected to find something.

I did some major speed testing when I first downloaded this software too. Shockingly, this software, when running, hardly affects your network speeds. My network performance only spiked over 0.5% only twice that I am aware of during the duration of testing.

I ran 40 individual speed tests while the software was running: I averaged 2149.4 KBPS with a 3 MB package. Then I ran 40 individual tests without the software running: Averaged 2280.8

Considering all speed test were done during high traffic hours, the 131 KBPS I lost in my network isn't bad.

Most of the channels work well, and this is

an actual real-time T.V. broadcast too! I checked all of the American channels against my Direc T.V. service. I really expected the programming to be prerecorded, but it wasn't.

All in all, the program seems to be spyware and adware free, and safe to install!

Cons: Some of the channels freeze and don't work well!

You will not get a high quality feed, but for free T.V. without the ugly antenna on the side of your house - TVUPLayer is worth the download!

BufferZone Security for P2P File Sharing

Version: 2.10-33

Finally, Someone Has Eliminated The Execution Of Malicious Code!

Pros: In the review I wrote on Spyware Blaster 3.5.1, I told everyone the spyware removal industry would be revolutionized once the the execution of malicious code was contained! My Prediction was correct! This software is doing that at this very moment. For no better way to explain the concept of this software, I highly suggest everyone reading this review visits trustware.com to gain a better understanding of just how this software works!

It's a revolutionary concept to say the least! In brief, Trustware

creates another computer inside your computer! Anything you download, or any exe. file can be run from the "Buffer Zone" inside the user interface of the program.

This allows you time to ascertain if what files you are toying with are safe for your computer!

In other words, you can leave any new downloads, files in any office suite formats, or P2P sharing in the "Buffer Zone" until you can verify your machines safety.

Grace periods: now you have a place to store much needed work while you are waiting for all your weekly protection software to update!

Furthermore, it puts your actual Internet browsers - which ever that may be into the shielded "Buffer Zone," which gives you another line of added protection that is a real-time scenario. So, for those of you who refuse to give up the dying parasite called Internet Explorer - downloading this should be of high priority to you too! Trustware only supports I.E & Firefox, however, I have ran Buffer Zone on both Firefox & Opera 9 with flawless results!

Those of you who follow my reviews know that I strongly believe security is of the utmost importance.

GET ON BOARD WITH THIS SOFTWARE COMPANY WHILE THE PROGRAM IS STILL FREE! IT WILL NOT STAY THAT WAY LONG!

Cons: BEWARE OF ONE THING!

Trustware makes a bold statement, "The software will never need to be updated!"

I can not put 100% faith in that statement - the program is still in its infancy, so updates are highly probable!

As I mentioned in another of my reviews recently: any protection software can be VIOLATED! There will have to be updates one day.

For the whole however, this is a good tool to become familiar with and add to your arsenal of present protection software!

Duplicate File Finder

Version: 1.1.0.3

This Software Is Simply Amazing!

Pros: Wow, I find myself at a loss for words in reviwing this software! That is highly unusal I can assure all of you!

I have tested and reviewed an uncountable amount of software that serves the same purpose as Duplicate File Finder 1.1.0.3. For the sake of you computer Newbies, I am always very careful in my reviews of software that has the potential to destroy your operating systems! However, this software is absolutly idiot proof if you take your time, and simply read all the options given to you.

I find no remorse for those of you making changes to your systems if you don't back it up! In the user interface of this software there is an easy to use utility that backs up all duplicate files.

Furthermore, when the time comes around to deleting the files, there is another very useful utility that caused me to give this software its 5 star rating! When using the auto delete function the software will automatically keep the files that should stay in your system - even if you opt to do a full system scan - as I did!

This is the smallest program that I have found of its kind. Furthermore, it uses less of your computer resources for those of you lacking ram. It is effective in its duties as well!

Cons: The only con I can speak of is your not downloading the best utility of its kind!

Spybot - Search & Destroy

Version: 1.4

O.K.

Pros: Effective spyware removal tool.

Does it job rather well and hasn't conflicted with other software on my system, unlike some of the other spyware programs I have used in the past.

Nothing flashy but, on the other hand, Spybot is effective in removing those unwanted problems when they do arrive.

After much use with Spybot and my other buddy SPYWARE BLASTER 3.5.1. - I see no other need for anything else. The combination of these two programs will bring any spyware issues you may be having under control.

Cons: Needs an auto-updating feature, BAD.

FireTune for Firefox

Version: 1.1.3

Good Tool For Firefox !

Pros: As I reviewed on the previous version, this is a great utility for those of you that don't know how to tweak Firefox on your own!

Cons: However, I totally disagree with the review of pm32610! Once the settings of this program have been applied, there is no more use for the program. It makes neccesary changes to the browser so you get the most out of it, and when those changes are made to your browser they don't change back to origanal state!

Firetune isn't a must keep utility! So for those of you using this utility on a laptop, or if you have a small hardrive - once it has made neccesary changes its usefullness is done!
