Windows Live Writer

Version: 2008

An excellent tool for bloggers

Pros: Although I only used it for my MSN Live account, this software is very useful in terms of helping you post your blog entries into quite a few sites like Blogspot. What I like about it is that you can even be able to write blogs offline!

Spybot - Search & Destroy

Version: 1.5

Finally, a better looking Spybot!

Pros: I kind of like the way Spybot looks now. It still has some of its original design, but I see a bit of an improvement in several things.

1) The update module now opens in a new window, making it easier for people to use; one would be able to know the nearest download location (provided he/she knows where he/she is in the world, or an Atlas would be needed), and get most of the crucial downloads highlighted, unlike v1.4 where one needs to tick all the options.

2) The Immunize feature is now much easier to understand, in terms of how far its protection can cover. Covers IE and Firefox, though I'm not sure if it covers other areas as well.

Cons: Several problems I come across in the new version are:

- The speed is still the same in the scanning, given that it had a HUGE list of definitions (700000+ I think).

- I now face a problem while exploring Download.com recently. Going to the main page of a program in Download.com is now almost empty i.e. I can't see the details, and the users' and CNET Reviewers on the programs at all! Or is this related to another program...

- TeaTimer still looks the same, and even after editing using the same trick to v1.4, I still can't see the contents of the buttons below. And, TeaTimer REALLY needs to be better. I can hardly understand many changes that occur in the registry.

In any case, Spybot Search & Destroy had quite a revamp in some of its interface. I look forward to whatever patch it'll provide in the future.

Ad-Aware 2007

Version: 7.0.2.1

Still, not too bad

Pros: Everything seems the same to me, with better detection rates and all the other benefits I've mentioned before. Hopefully the Vista-compatibility version would solve the woes that many Vista users had complained about earlier.

It currently works with my 700+MB PC without any problem. Hopefully this continues to work, as I want to consider switching from SE to 2007 for my laptop, after they stop support (will they really do that in the near future?)

Auslogics Disk Defrag

Version: 1.3.7.235

A fine defragmenter for slow computers

Pros: A good tool for those who had slow-running computers. I haven't seen the new version yet, but the current version I'm using in my 510MB RAM computer is still working fine, despite the fact that the 15% space requirement for defragmenting still remains.

Norton AntiVirus

Version: 2008

To those who complained about not being able to uninstall Norton Antivirus

Pros: There's a Norton Removal Tool that you guys haven't look into yet. Try that to uninstall Norton AV 2008 if you feel that the software is useless.

No comments on this program as I haven't tried it.
