Product:

Mozilla Firefox

Version: 1.5

Best browser just got better!

Pros: Improvements from earlier versions

-faster back and forward

-automatically checks and installs updates

Pros of Firefox

-includes must-have features like tabbed browsing, pop-up blocking, and RSS

-built in search

-safe

-fast

-VERY customizable. The greatest reason i switched to using firefox was because of it's customizability. On addons.mozilla.org, you can download extensions and themes to make firefox look better and have more features. Extensions include the ability to block ads and adframes inside webpages, mouse gestures, and session saving. There's pretty much an extension for every function you could possibly need.

Cons: -Not all webpages are compatible with firefox that can only be loaded correctly in Internet Explorer. However, there is a pretty small amount of webpages like this. Also, extensions like ie tab, ieview, and user agent switcher that give firefox the ability to load internet explorer-only webpages. These can all be found on addons.mozilla.org

CursorXP

Version: 1.31

Great program

Pros: Cursor XP is a great program. The program comes with some cursor skins and there are a lot more you can download at *****.

Cons: 1. Might not load the skin on startup on some computers.

2. DO NOT end the cursor xp program! Your cursor will disappear!

Product:

eMule

Version: 0.44d

Great P2P Program! Much better than Limewire and Kazaa

Pros: -the eMule symbol is very cute-looking

-Comprehensive help file

-Pretty straightforward interface, but could use some slight improvements

-searching is very fast. It's as fast as searching on an internet search engine.

-The results have almost no junk at all. Unlike Limewire or Kazaa, that when you search for something you get half the results as useless, eMule seems to have only files that are related to your search.

Overall: eMule is pretty much as reliable as torrents

Cons: - only con I have with this program, which isn't really that big of a con, is that it is set up as priorities. The more you upload, the faster you download. In other words, if you don't upload, then you'll have to wait in a very long line for your download to begin.

Product:

Windows Registry Repair SE

Version: 2.0.0.1

It gets rid of some registry problems but not all

Pros: It gets rid of most registry problems

Cons: 1. It has a few bugs in it.

2. Does not find all my registry problems

Not worth the money to buy

I recommend Registry Mechanic. It detected a lot more registry problems and scanned deeper.

Great Interface, very organized

Pros: - very clean, easy looking interface

- very easy to navigate using it and easily find songs

- though i do not use it, i guess the music store could be useful

Cons: - pretty good sound quality, but I still think winamp sound quality is better.

- takes up more RAM than any other media/music player i've ever used
