Windows Live OneCare

Above average

Pros: It uses the old RAV antivirus, which was very good, the firewall is probably the easiest I have ever found, when you open any even slighly popular program it will tell you that Microsoft is aware of the program and has allowed access. You can also customize the firewall to ask about all inbound and outbound programs.

OneCare also has an automated backup to CDR or CDRW which you can schedule for anytime. Windows Defender is also a part of the program.

Of all the security suites I have tried, OneCare is far and away the easiest.

Cons: Microsoft users will have to pay for this suite, alot of people think it should be free. It can be purchased for $19.95 until june 1st I think. After that it goes up to forty dollars.

Internet Download Manager

Version: 5.03

Simply the best download manager out there

Pros: On my cable connection without IDM I get around 250 to 300 kbs. With IDM I get a steady 400 to 425 kbs. This is the fastest download speeds I have ever got.

Cons: If you visit pages with MIDI or Mp3 background junk, IDM will automatic start downloading but you can fix this.

Panda Titanium Antivirus 2006

Version: 5.0

A powerful Antivirus.

Pros: This version is Panda Titanium w/Antispyware, One of the things I like about Panda is they dont force you to subscribe for a year. You have a choice between 3 months for $14.95 six months or a year subscription. I honestly dont think anything can get by Panda, also this is the only Anti-Spyware that actually notifies you in real time when it encounters a "Spy Cookie" and removes it.

Cons: Uses too much memory. When using F-Prot with Filescab firewall, I use about 176mb. With Panda I use about 420Mb. My startup time went from 36 seconds to one minute fifty six seconds, but as noted above, once your computer is fully booted there is no noticable slowdown when web surfing ETC. Just startup and shutdown.

iTunes

Version: 6.0

Revolutionary!

Pros: I absoultely love ITunes. I am beggining to think that this is the future of purchasing music. I honestly cant remember the last C.D. I purchased at a store, all my music purchases come thru ITunes. 99 cents for a song is a bargain, most albums are $9.99 as opposed to $17.99 at retail outlets. ITunes is now offering $1.99 television shows, there are only three available but remember, three years ago ITunes had a catalog of 200,000 songs. This program gets better and better with each update.

Cons: The only thing I can think of is D.R.M. which doesnt really bother me. When you purchase something it really should be yours to keep and do what you want with it. But if it is that big of a deal, Just burn it to a CD and rip it to whatever format you want and problem solved!
