Product:

Process Explorer

Version: 10.21

Just the ticket

Pros: When my computer bogs down I open task manager to find out what is hogging resources. Usually when I find it, it's an acronym that means nothing to me. This program tells me what it is (without having to google the acronym). How does it make the computer run faster? You have to manually lower the process priority, or just kill it. Then you will know for sure how essential that process was. It works for me.

Cons: Too much information. Very Geeky -- but there is a help file.

WinTools.net Professional

Version: 9.3.0

Malware

Pros: The utilities work fairly well.

Cons: Scanners have reported malware over the years. Threatfire goes nuts with its activities. There are equally good utilities without the russian "extras."

Free FLV Converter

Version: 1.7

Different formats?

Pros: Fast and easy to convert flv to avi

Cons: Converts to avi no matter how I tweak the "settings". I wanted wmv to embed into powerpoint. SUPER usually works but it's cumbersome compared to this one,

Product:

Windows Movie Maker (Windows XP)

Version: 2.0

Excellent

Pros: I have been using it to create movies since it was included in XP. Take a little time to read all of the help files, and you'll find lots of features that aren't obvious. I have had very few problems; it gives stunning results (if you know how to use it). I also use it to turn powerpoints into movies and to easily fix video clips when the sound becomes unsyncronized.

Cons: I haven't figured out how to use different aspect ratios in the same movie. It works best when you use .wmv files, converted with a program like SUPER.

Filseclab Personal Firewall Professional Edition

Version: 3.0.0.16

The least intrusive

Pros: Does what the others do without all of the annoying popups -- it "knows" when a trusted program calls home and so doesn't ask.

Cons: "Filseclab" is a really lame name...
