Product:

Spyware Terminator

Version: 2.2.1.433

Good program but

Pros: Great program, if used in conjuction with other spyware (if your only using one and hoping your covered, you have alot to learn).

Has great autorun features

Cons: Real-time protection will NOT work with networked HP printers. I have a networked HP printer, and trying to print on it while ST is running is impossible. Even when installing the HP software with ST's Hipps on install mode. Only time Ive ever had a problem with the printer.

Safari

Version: 3.1

Apple does it again for Windows

Pros: Well, it does have a fast page load time (bout the same as Opera)

Cons: For me it takes longer to load Safari than Firefox2.

Customization is not there.

Ties up alot of system resources (just like Itunes, hence the title of review)

Security holes everywhere. I just cant trust it, I only went to sites I knew to be safe with this browser.

Uninstall was horrible. Glad I used Revo Uninstaller, Safari left alot behind that Revo caught and deleted.

Opera

Version: 9.26

Now my main browser

Pros: After using Firefox 1 and 2, than mixing in some IE&7. I decided to try Opera, said it had nothing to offer an uninstalled it. A few weeks later at getting made at long page loads for IE7 and Firefox2 (with extensions installed to make pages load faster, ie fastfox) I wanted to try Opera again for speed and security. I have now officially wiped my PC clean of Firefox and IE7 is installed as a back-up. (I do keep a Firefox2 install file on my PC just in case).

I love the speed, not only page loads, but for the browser to load. It loads just as fast as IE7, within seconds of telling it to load, much better than the 10 seconds I wait for Firefox2, even with the Firefox Preloader. Page loads are faster than either IE7 or Firefox2.

Speed-dial is a great tool.

Page loading speeds are phenominal. Have only had a few sites that take a lil longer.

User created skins are growing in number, and make it look much more appealing.

I love the password wand and the widgets.

Many built in features require you to download extensions in firefox, increasing the load time for firefox, yet they dont increase opera load time.

Dosent tie up system resources

The most secure browser out there.

Cons: I wish over developers would start making stuff compatible, like McAfee Site-Advisor or Silverlight. I could care less about toolbars.

If a page is loading, which dosent take that long, but when it is loading, it covers the address bar with loading info, and sometimes wont let you type a different address in (like if i mistype an addresss and dont realize it until after I hit enter, and want to change it right away).

Open in new tab, takes you to the new tab. Maybe I dont like it cause IE7 and Ff2 didnt do that. You can open in new background tab that wont take you to the new tab though.

Product:

VersionTracker Pro

Version: 4.0

Not worth the price

Pros: So I bought the pro version. It scans fast and tells you if stuff if up to date. It trys to download updates of your stuff for you, or provides a link to the website where you can get the update.

I only use it to scan and see what is out of date, then i update from teh actual program itself or from the programs website, i dont use Version Tracker for this as it only works ~10% of the time.

So Excellent scanner to see what is out of date, but not worth the money for that.

Cons: It counts betas as new versions.

Sometimes it says my version of something is out of date, yet it has the same version listed as the newest.

You can downlaod updates through version tracker, but only some will actually update something. About half will actually downlaod through version tracker. Of those, only a handful will install.

It will send you to the correct website for SOME programs to get the updates if it cant download them.

Sometimes you dont want to update stuff, like free versions of programs that came with your computer or something, where you would have to pay for the new version. If it has a "hide" feature for these programs it either dosent work (i dont remember) or it needs one.

Product:

GIMP

Version: 2.4.5

And people still pay for photoshop???

Pros: Works very well.

Not for beginners, this is for advance graphics/photo editing people (if you just want to crop or resize this is the wrong program for you).

I like all the features, I found it easier to use than PS. And its free.

Cons: Takes awhile to learn. There are teaching "manuals" out on the web, just need to find them.
