Blue Frog

Version: 1.9

Great product, fun to watch the spammers get angry.

Pros: Makes it easy to report spam and have something done about it. I have seen my spam levels go down but only come back even worse when I get a flood of messages with subjects trying to communicate with me. Good news is today May 1, 2006 a spammer has started an all out war against Blue Frog. The spammer is spamming an obscene amount of messages threatening that if we don't cancel our account only more is going to go out. He claims that the Blue Security data base has been made public and that's why there is more spam. This is a lie, I put in 5 addresses of which 2 were and still remain spam free. If you haven't started Frogging do so ASAP! We will win the war against spam.

Skype

Version: 3.8.0.139

Skype, hands down, continues to be the leader in VoIP.

Pros: The audio quality is excellent and I really like how it will read my Outlook Contacts can be accessed to make calls. The Skype Contacts list is independant from Outlook and is accessable from any computer in the world you log onto. I have a SkypePro Account and a SkypeIN number. Combined Skype services makes my annual cost for phone service is only $60 USD per year!

Cons: No real complaints other than it would be nice if the service would email a voice message to you when someone leaves one.

Font Viewer

Version: 1

If I'd paid more attention to this description I'd never downloaded it.

Pros: If it has any plus it is multi-platform written in Java, great for those anti-Windows zealots out there.

Cons: The fact that it is written in Java as a stand alone application. I have ran Java based apps in the past and find that they generally are slow in performance. They do not intermesh with the Windows OS and never have that nice smoothe user interface you are acustomed to in software. My download is already deleted as I quickly found out I had to take the trouble to go and find the Java engine to install before I could make this work. Sorry too much trouble and should be included with the setup. After a little bit of web searching I found this Freeware Font Viewer "AMP Font Viewer" it is really sweet if you need a nice utility to view, test and manage your installed fonts.

GloPhone

Version: 2.0

GloPhone is shutdown.

Cons: I didn't get a chance to try it. I just went to the GloPhone website and there is a notice that as of March 13, 2007 they shut down.

Advanced WindowsCare Personal

Version: 2.5.6.827

I have no complaints and it's easy to use, nice handy utility.

Pros: I have been using this software for a little over a year now. But not religiously until lately. I still do not know how well it cleans malware/spyware as my system only comes up with a few cookies. I especially like to run it for the registry sweep after I uninstall software. It will remove junk registry items the software vendors leave behind when you think its completely gone. Great house cleaning utility.
