McAfee SiteAdvisor for Internet Explorer

Version: 2.6.0.6253

I like it....

Pros: It works without any interaction from the user / works silently. I

surf' alot and this warns me if a page I am on or going to has reports of bad downloads (i.e. bundled in software / spyware).

Then I amy or may not go to the page but if I do, I know to be careful.

I like the optiion to have it show in my browser or you can 'hide' it.

I have mine hidden and I forget it is even there.

I like this and I recommend it, need all the help we can get with all the bad sites and downloads & spyware out there....

Nothing to lose, it is free...

Cons: There isn't anything I do not like so far and I have installed this on every machine I work with....

Tumi Cursor PowerPack XP

Version: Final

Very good and for one I did not have to uninstall soon after

Pros: This program did not try to read my screen or hook my keyboard as many freeware prgrams do. No *3rd party* software bundled in, no spyware, no *extra toolbars* or anything. Just cursers. I like them. I downloaded these for a specific type of curser which I am happy with. You don't have to get everything but there is alot of them and pretty good for freeware esp. freeware that didn't try to sneak spyware in it or hook my keyboard.

Downloaded and installed just fine and was ready to select & use the cursors soon after.

Should give it a try, you can uninstall if you don't like it and is free, nothing to lose.

Cons: Nothing so far. Recommend this if you are after something other than what Windows offers

Ad-Aware 2008

Version: 7.1.0.8

Very Good with one thing all users should be aware of

Pros: Have used this (free version only) with other anti-spy / mal and antivirus (not run togeher, lol) and each finds things the other may not. Have used this for years. The 2008 version you have more choices of changing the look of it if you wish. I am happy enough with it that I have not 'veered' from its use in years, as long as it not the only anti-spy / anti-mal one uses and will keep using it.

Cons: If you value your privacy and security, users should be aware this program is a screen reader, done without your consent or knowledge.

Not letting this program read your screen does not decrease it's functuality, it does not need to read it to work. Allowing any program to read your screen is at the very least a privacy issue, after all, when this is allowed or done (without your knowledge or consent), someone you do not know, is seeing what you are seeing on YOUR screen. Unknown what is being done with that info, YOUR information. Some companies simply track your usage of their product or websites you visit (benign use but a privacy issue) but some do far more (think of websites you visit including banks, ect.)

There is plenty of software to prevent screen reading...

Spybot - Search & Destroy

Version: 1.5.2

Very good with one caution all users should eb aware of....

Pros: Have used this for years and gives ALOT of options if you use advanced mode. Can change the look of it as well. I have this installed on every machine I work on and it is free, nothing to lose by trying it and uninstalls easy as well if you end up not liking it...

I use this with other anti-spy / anti-mal programs as well as an antivirus, don't just use one program for spy / malware, have at least 2 and an antivirus.

Cons: If you value your privacy and security, you should be aware this program is a screen reader, unless you prevent this. It does not need to read your screen to work and preventing this does not decrease it's functuality.

Plenty of software available to prevent screen reading, this is at the very least a privacy issue and if you allow any program to read your screen, someone you do not know will see what you see on YOUR screen, unknown what they are doing with that info, YOUR information.

Unlocker

Version: 1.8.7

I like this....

Pros: I like this, it helps me delete files that otherwise will not delete and I have been able to unlock files that previously I could not open.

Sometimes it can not delete or whatever I want it to do but gives the option of doing the action at next reboot and sometimes this works.

I like this and it is free, nothing to lose by trying it.

No problems with the download & installation and none of my antivirus / anti-spy / anti-mal found anything 'bad' (took heed from others who said they found a virus,ect so I scanned before installation) in this and it works 'silently', with no interaction from the user until you select it as an option when right clicking on a folder.

Cons: There isn't anything I do not like so far and I have this installed on every amchine I work with.
