Trend Micro HijackThis

Version: 1.99.1

Not for the novice user

Pros: It does exactly what it says. Easy to use, very fast, and it's free.

Cons: Not for the novice user. I scanned my system and it returned about 15 registry entries, all of which where legit entries. If you do not know what you are deleting, don't delete anything. Always consult Google before removing an unknow program or registry entry.

4U AVI MPEG Converter

Version: 3.0.8

waste of time

Pros: It works

Cons: It only converts 60%

OK it's a trial, but it should tell you this before letting people waste their time downloading it. Ok, I'm a freeloader trying to get something for nothing, I admit it, but at least I'm not telling lies. The product description says

Limitation: 20 day trial.

Nothing about only converting 60%

FastStone Image Viewer

Version: 2.12

Looks good. Real alternative to ACDSee and IrfanView!

Pros: - Nice navigation while showing pic in fullscreen.

- You can easiely assign your favorite editor and start that with one single keystroke "E".

- It took me only 2min to DECIDE to change from ACDSee 3.1 (which is better than its newer versions, i already tried them ;)

Cons: - might have some more edit functions.

PasswordMaker

Version: 0.6

Allows you to use very secure passwords, but you don't need to remember them!

Pros: 1. Finally allows to use secure passwords, without the need to remember them or write them down.

2. Easy management of accounts on different sites, with fully configurable password settings for each account.

3. Has many advanced options for handling web sites that put restrictions on passwords (eg. must contain both letters and numbers, length must be between x-y characters, etc.)

4. Can populate user/password fields automatically, or with a single key-stroke, or from the context (right-click) menu.

5. Gets better by the day.

6. Free!

Cons: That it wasn't created years ago...
