A-squared Free

Version: 3.5.0.11

A FANTASTIC FREE ANTI SPYWARE !!!

Pros: I was looking for a good secondary anti spyware but wasn't having much luck! Purely by chance i came across A-squared, so i thought I'd give it a try. Well i wasn't disappointed!! This is a good free anti spyware which every one should be using!!

I had no problems installing and setting it up.Also updating the signatures every time is so easy and so fast ,It puts Ad-Adware 2008 to shame. The quick and smart scans are pretty fast but the Deep scan takes far too long.

I use this anti spyware alongside Spyware Terminator and there are no compatibility problems what so ever! So give it a try!!!!!!!!!

Cons: Why haven't i heard about this software before??!!

Auslogics Disk Defrag

Version: 1.4.16.308

GOOOD BUT........

Pros: This is a very fast disk defragmenter and of course it's much faster than the built in windows version. Also i do like the easy to use setup and i love the colours whilst it's under way ( that's a nice touch too) And of course we ALL love free software he he! And you get Bi monthly updates which can't be a bad thing.

Cons: But it just doesn't do a complete job of defragmentation. I mentioned the same thing last year and a few other people made the same comment too. Recently my computer seemed to be getting slower. Firstly i thought it was some nasties on my computer, but checked out ok. I am running anti spyware, anti virus, cleaning my hard drive etc and defragging using Auslogics. So i went to the windows Disk defagmenter and the files were spread out all over the place! I then compacted the files further using windows and my computer is running much faster now!

Yes Auslogics is very fast but it's just not efficient enough for me, sorry. So I am now trying out the latest version of IOBIT Disk Defrag and i will let you know how it goes.

IE7Pro

Version: 2.3

WOW !! WHAT A DIFFERENCE !!

Pros: I must admit i was a bit sceptical but it's really made a difference, increasing my surfing speed quite a lot! At long last IE7 is heading in the right direction!

Cons: Personally i think it's still behind Firefox 2, so not in a hurry to dump my old favourite yet!

Mozilla Firefox

Version: 3.0.1

STILL THE BEST AND LOVING IT!!!!

Pros: I must admit whenever there's a new browser i do try them to give them the benefit of the doubt! (Opera, IE7 Pro, Safari etc etc) But my all time favourite is and will be for the foreseeable future Firefox 3 ( and is my default browser.)

Firefox is so light on your CPU and of course the main point being it renders the pages so fast! The blockyness of the past has long gone! Another great aspect is the consistency of speed with all the web sites i visit,Opera is lagging way behind in this area!

With this very latest update the bugs have been all but ironed out. Be patient and the remaining Add-on problems will too be resolved.

I don't have high speed internet but Firefox 3 makes it feel that way for sure!!

Cons: Nothing bad to say, just going from strength to strength!!

DriverMax

Version: 4

Good....but..

Pros: Driver Max is a smart and handy piece of software and gives a lot of useful information. Also making backups of your drivers is also handy and a smart thing to do. But...

Cons: At the the moment if you are running Windows XP (which I am) you can't up date your drivers through Driver Max!! It's only available to people who are using Windows vista. So ladies and gents we will have to wait for the next update, a bit of a pain.. but looking forward to it.
