Product:

Comodo AntiVirus

Version: 1

Vast improvement from previous versions

Pros: Easy install and protection. Detects and cleans as stated. Acceptable for small biz networks. We tested this product on three 'Lab-Rat PC's before actually using this product for temporary field offices in the Oil and Gas Industry.

We were impressed with this product for a number of reasons. Small start-up companies occasionally implement freeware when possible. For a free version to accomplish what Comodo has done says a lot about how far they have come. Since AVG went pricey and offers nothing but free anti-virus we just had to try this product. The PC's that we tested have been virus, Trojan, worm, malicious-BHO, key logger, malware, and grayware free for two months now. We also scanned the PC's using Trend Micro, F-Secure, AVG-license version, and inspected the registry's of these machines to verify that they were indeed clean. No bugs! We read some negative posts here on CNET; however, other sites are postings 5 star ratings on the new Comodo and that is what led us to try this version.

We like freeware that works. We hear complaints from hundreds of employees about hundreds of issues; Ninety percent of the time the problem is user related, even when the employee stakes a claim of being computer proficient. There is no shortage of 'Arm-Chair experts and that is why we tested first and installed later.

Cons: May work too good. The new comodo even caught some open port flaws in our SEO Optimization software and it was shut down.

We had to have our SEO company correct the issue. KUDOS to Comodo.

Product:

Internet Explorer

Version: 7

Don't bother....IE7 is still Trojan City.

Pros: Nothing....I'm serious as a heart attack.

Cons: I would expect more from the Gates crew than this. It's unstable, un-friendly with other software, and most of all it's a security sieve.

About one hour after installing this software I was infected with two nasty Trojans that corrupted my registry and OS. Same thing happened to some of my friends also.

After I uninstalled IE7 and did a clean reinstall of IE6; I was back up and running. The next day MS issued a security release regarding vulnerabilities in IE7.

Different cover; same old book ... 5-years and all Microsoft did was release a hive for bugs. But hey...they just love it when you have to call them and give them your credit card number to fix something that they created.

Product:

eScan Internet Security

Version: 2.6

Product needs to go back to the planning board

Pros: Nothing....It creates it's own problems.

Cons: eScan totally wiped out three PC's at our company. After running the program; our PC's screens went blue and crashed on all three PC's. We did a complete fresh install of windows after formatting the drives of all machines and eScan crashed the systems again after running the program. One of our computers was brand new out of the box;(Hadn't even been configured for the internet yet).... Nevertheless; eScan identified XP components on a new machine as Trojans and removed them. The PC wasn't even configured for internet or email. eScan also removed 7 critical registry entries. We removed eScan....reinstalled XP and no problems.

From the beginning nothing seemed right. MicroWorld's Tech told us that we had to download and install TWO setup files just to get one program installed. Then the program repeatedly asked for the Key Code. Even after entering the code; perpetual pop-ups came on the screen asking for the product code....over and over.....even though the pop-up said that the code was accepted and updated... right there in English, in the pop-up box.(Unbeleivable!) MicroWorld's Tech politely informed us that nothing was wrong and to just click cancel everytime that happened.

We will never use any MicroWorld Products ever again. eScan cost our company an astronomical amount of money, time and data.

Product: Version: 6.5

Does it all effortlessly. Documentation impressive and easy.

Pros: This product tells us what we are doing right or wrong with our websites. It also tracks and reports information about visitors on our sites. With WEB CEO, we know who they are, what their IP address is, when they were there, what they looked at, sticky time per page, when and if they came back again, and other critical details for managing your companies. _________________________ A tutorial is supplied with the software that even a novice can learn to use quickly. We were impressed and purchased the PRO Version the next day. What an asset this product has turned out to be. _____________ _________________Support is a pleasure. No excuses just help and answers. This is the way other software companies should be. These professionals really do help you. Something that many companies these days forget about is the customer. We pay a pittance monthly and are treated like Gods. Where do you get products and service like this in todays world?________________________ Oh,one more thing. I do not work for this company, but they did help me take my small companies from nothing to something. To me that's priceless.

Cons: FTP interface needs a few tweaks but we worked it out after a few trails and errors. Not a big deal.

Product:

Windows Registry Repair Pro

Version: 3

Easy PC repair for beginners and professionals

Pros: This product will speed up processing on your PC. It's easy and it has a back up system that can be accessed in one second.

Cons: Sometimes the program will list newly installed print drivers for deletion. You just pop your printer disk back in and no problem. Blitzing speeds.
