Yahoo Toolbar with Anti-Spy

Version: 5.5.5

Good

Pros: So, a popup blocker, and search engine, and anti-spy all rolled into one! I like it...

Fast spyware scan too, and good popup blocking.

Overall, good download, extra line of defense

Cons: Only 4 out of 5, because though it seems great, I'm wondering why it picked up 2 pieces of spyware while none of my other 7 spyware scanners, including webroot spy sweeper, spyware doctor, ad-aware, and spybot found nothing.

Wonder why...

Star Downloader Free

Version: 1.44

Totally awesome!!!

Pros: One of the longest searches of my life is finally over...

I was looking for these things in a download manager:

Free! (And no spyware or adware either)

Good download speeds, and constant good speeds too.

This program seems to have it all. The download speeds were great, browser integration was awesome (as previously said, almost TOO good) and it works!

If this is only the free version, I might actually consider buying the full version IT IS THAT GOOD!

Cons: Setting up browser integration for non-IE browsers was a bit confusing at first, but still not too much of a hassle.

Shareaza

My personal favorite

Pros: I've stuck with this application the longest...

It's easy to use, has reliable search results, decent download speeds, and can double as a download manager! It's actually better than most download managers rofl...

Cons: After downloads might be hard to look for the files

Some connection problems with some networks

Not good at finding mirrors

Norton AntiVirus

Version: 2005

Sigh...

Pros: Effective, yeah...Trusted by a bunch of people

Won't put bad programs on your computer

Weekly updates

Cons: Cost a lot, compared to some other great anti-virus software.

Slows the computer down...

Hard to uninstall, just like most anti-virus

Low on money? Try avast or AVG, they're free
