Spybot - Search & Destroy

Version: 1.4

Simple and excellent!

Pros: Spybot - S&D is by far a really excellent anti-spyware program to me. The interface doesn't drive you nuts, or give you headaches. All of its features are straight to the point, and the descriptions can be well understood by beginners. Absolutely no one would have a hard time using this. It protects you from massive amounts of spyware, and doesn't take up too much resources from your computer. It doesn't slow you down while working. Another alternative is LavaSoft's AdAware, which ranks up to Spybot. And what's more, they're both free! Get this now!

Cons: The interface is really basic, but it's a big improvement compared to the past versions.

Product:

Avast Home Edition

Version: 4.6

Excellent!

Pros: The best! I have been using it for months, though mine is Pro. This antivirus is great! They give it to you for free, and it does all the stuff that the big time a/v's do. It's also skinnable, which is not common in a/v's. It is very effective too. I used to have Norton A/V last year, and it didn't detect any virus. Then I was suspicious. I downloaded this and it found one. All my defs are the latest. I was so satisfied with it that I just HAD TO upgrade. This is the best! Get it now! Or get the Pro version!

Cons: It doesn't have the script blocking option unlike in the Pro. But I don't know since the last time I used Home Edition was v4.5 and I'm using Pro v4.6 now.

Product: Version: 4.9

Best P2P client ever!

Pros: Has a simple and intuitive interface. New features like seperate folders for saving each type of file, and new file management system are very useful. It returns more search results, and it shows fast download speed. The new file management system is very useful since it prevents mix-ups with files, especially when you download a lot of files with different types. It is COMPLETELY malware free. It has a lot of features which are very functional. It is also free! But then, the PRO version works much better.. so get it now!

Cons: It is a java app, so it requires the JRE to be installed in the computer. Java apps also require more RAM, so if you only have 256MB of RAM or lower in your PC, you can expect the program to work a bit slowly.

Product:

TweakNow RegCleaner Professional

Version: 2.1.1

It's perfect!

Pros: It has an intuitive interface, it's effective in the registry error-fixing process, and it makes your PC run faster after it corrects the errors too. It doesn't slow your PC down to a hag when scanning. It also tells you whether the registry key you selected is safe or nt safe to delete.

Cons: None at all! Get it now! Or try Registry Mechanic or Error Nuker!

Product:

IrfanView

Version: 3.97

Still one of the best!!

Pros: Fast launching, very feature-rich too. You can download plug-ins from the IrfanView site, to extend its capabilities. You can play video, music, and view images. And you get it for free? It's great, plain great. It also doesn't install any malware in your PC. I donated to this app, it's great! It's very customizable too. You can also save image files as .ico (icon file), which is very uncommon in image viewers/editors. Get it now!

Cons: The interface is not THAT nice, fancy, and intuitive. One more thing, it can never compete with paid apps like ACDSee/PowerPack or ThumbsPlus and Ashampoo Photo Commander. If you have lots of money to spend, I'd prefer ACDSee/PowerPack with ThumbsPlus and Ashampoo Photo Commander.
