Avast Home Edition

Version: 4.8.1195

Considered the most.

Pros: After using AVG 8.0 Free, I decided to move to avast! 4.8 due to AVG's "avgrsx.exe"'s heavy memory usage. avast! also proves to be quite effective with it's rootkit, spyware, and virus scanner bundled all in one. It's processes take up at most 20MB of RAM. What I liked best about this program is the flexible options that enable users to configure the program to their own likings. Also, avast! offers a variety of Resident Shields from IM, P2P, Web, and Network shields. It's scanner will take some time, but it offers three different modes of scanning. The updates are quite fast and skins are available.

Cons: None.

SpywareBlaster

Version: 4.1

Blaster Upgraded +

Pros: What caught my attention of v.4.1 was the slick design, compared to SpywareBlaster 3.5.1. It had that Vista Aero feeling.

When I ran it, it was much faster than it's predecessor v.4.0

SpywareBlaster provides a good comprehension of what it's blocking and where it is blocking. It adds killbits where disables malicious Active-X's and ads from intervening.

Overall, SpywareBlaster is a great arsenal to your collection. It does not run in the background, but just one click and the protection is activated permanent.

Cons: Integrated support for Opera browsers.

A future idea would be something of a "real-time" protection and a "network shield". ;)

MemOptimizer

Version: 3.10

Not only waste of money.

Cons: You never, ever defragment your RAM. Instead of doing good, it does more harm. Who would be spend 20$ on a 1.53MB software? Why not just kill your computer from Limewire?

Spybot - Search & Destroy

Version: 1.6

A charged up Spybot.

Pros: Scanning times and immunization is much more improved as it covers both Opera 9.51 and Firefox 3. What I liked was TeaTimer's ease of use and now lower memory usage.

Well done.

Cons: If Spybot could just use ClearType with the GUI.

Auslogics Registry Defrag

Version: 4.1.12.105

A good software now sunk.

Pros: A good comprehensive tool that compacts the registry. Although I have not noticed any benchmark or significant change, I like to use this tool once in a while.

Cons: Auslogics is the average reputable company. Now it all changes with the bundled ask.com toolbar. Looks like Auslogics need money. :(
