IncrediMail Xe

Version: build 1856

Has good and bad points

Pros: When I first started using this program, everything was free. All you had to do was go to their website and download whatever you liked and use it.

Cons: Then they got greedy and wanted people to pay for the good content before you could download it. If you were lucky and downloaded everything when it was free, then you are OK. Once you change computers or have a glitch in your existing computer, then when transferring information you lose everything you had before. I used to be able to send e-mails using their fancy letterhead and now, if I don't turn off all the 3D effects, I can't send anything properly it gets stuck in my outbox. Nice to look at but a pain in the butt when something goes wrong with the program

Font Bonanza

Version: 1.0

Looks Good

Pros: I just downloaded this file and installed some of the fonts onto my computer. They are easy to install and I look forward to using them. Lots to choose from.

I write three different newsletters and am always looking for something new to make them look more presentable.

Cons: It is a very large file to download. I have high speed ADSL connection and it took about seven minutes to download the files. Not for users of dial-up Internet access as it would take up too much time.

Avast Home Edition

Version: 4.7.1001

Excellent

Pros: I have used this anti virus for several years and it works just great. The only flaw with this one over AVG free is that there is a time limit on the free license to use it. It has to be renewed every fourteen months. Also, user must do a manual scan for viruses and trojans each day whereas AVG Free has automatic updates and automatic scans each day depending on user settings and the user license does not expire.

Cons: See above

All-in-One Secretmaker

Version: 4.1.4

Pretty Good

Pros: Blocks out a lot of things that used to be so annoying. The background noises remind the user that it is actively working to block out things we don't need

Cons: The main flaw is that the All-in-One Secretmaker blocks out the things we want to see and some of our good e-mail addresses. It blocks out a bit too much.

All-in-One Secretmaker

Version: 4.1.9

Is OK with some flaws

Pros: This is an excellent program especially since it is free.

Cons: If the pop-up blocker is activated, it doesn't recognize the friendly windows, the ones the user wants to access and blocks them as well. You must hold down the control key to allow a friendly window to pop up or to remove the blocked images to view
