Product:

Shareaza

Version: 2.2.1

One of the best programs I've ever seen

Pros: Does exactly what it says on the tin. No spyware. No viruses. Its open source so you can confirm that for yourself. Never had a problem with it.

Cons: It relies on the popularity of songs. If a song is not that popular, then most people won't have it on their computers and it can be difficult to download. Advanced settings can boost performance but not exactly user friendly, needs research to be used effectively.

Product:

Comodo Firewall Pro

Version: 3

Least annoying firewall ever

Pros: Having been a zonealarm fan till getting irritated by the adverts everywhere, this is a brilliant alternative. No annoying questions ever, it just learns fast and then gets down to business.

I really like the application rules (Comodo calls it Network Security Policy :P), its very easy to customise and control.

Cons: It does take up 85MB of your hard drive but thats because of the anti-malware in it called "Defense+". This is easily turned off in favour of Spybot but still a more than average chunk of hard drive for a firewall!

Also learning what all the different things mean takes a bit of effort, Comodo seems to use its own phrases and descriptions for things...

Product:

Virtual Sandbox Free Edition

Version: 1 build 140

Good idea but a bit OTT for my computer, very difficult to remove

Pros: It is a brilliant idea to protect your computer with these sandboxes but with a little common sense and the right stuff on your computer, this was a little too much for my liking.

Cons: There is no uninstaller for this program at all!!

You can delete some of the program in windows, a little bit more in safe mode but i ended up in "safe mode with command prompt" in order to get rid of a file which automatically replaced itself with a wierd randomly named file when i deleted it with Spybots' "secure shredder".

good product, hard to remove!!!

Refused to install
