SUPERAntiSpyware Free

Definitely a `can`t-live-without-it`

I have used SUPERAntiSpyware (Free Edition) on my several computers for quite some time. It seems to be one of the best -- runs smoothly with no problems, adequate features. Certainly a good addition to your security fortress. Price: Free

Karens TimeSync

Didn't seem to run smoothly

I downloaded Karens TimeSync to an older IBM ThinkPad with Windows2000 OS. It worked for a few days, but then seemed somewhat glitchy. There are others which run efficiently with less problems. Price: Free

SymmTime

Used it for several years

I have used SymmTime for several years on several laptops. This is probably the best time synchronizer and multiple time zone monitor available. An excellent piece of software. I have family/business interests in a few different time zones worldwide and traveling between them I find SymmTime essential. Price: Free

Ad-Aware Free Antivirus

Not quite what it used to be

AdAware used to be excellent; however, it is becoming a bit outmoded compared to newer, faster, more efficient paid and freeware anti-spyware scanners. Even "AdAware SE plus edition" (paid version) now leaves a bit to be desired. Free or paid AdAware versions sometimes are now also prone to glitch when you have other, newer anti-spyware installed, and sometimes won't let you download updates from Lavasoft's website. But if you can get AdAware to run with no such problems, it is a handy extra scanner -- I would NOT depend on it as an essential tool these days. Price: Free

NASA World Wind

Looks nice but a bit of a bomb!

Compared to Google Earth this one is a bit of a bomb. It uses a lot of HD space! Functionality is probably the biggest issue; it runs very slowly! There are quite a few glitz-y, flashy features, but I think most of them would be rather useless for a majority of users -- depending on your interests. Most of the views/imagery for areas of the world I have a personal interest(where I have family) substantially lack definition and clarity. Price: Free

TheSage

Excellent dictionary

I have used TheSage for a couple of years plus! It's a very useful tool, easy to use, functions cleanly. Price: Free

ZoneAlarm Free

Good ol' reliable zonealarm

The free version is good. The Pro version is excellent. NEVER use McAfee AntiVirus (or certain other McAfee products) with ZoneAlarm as there are serious conflicts and McAfee will cause your computer to lockup as it boots. It is then very difficult, if not almost impossible, to then uninstall McAfee AntiVirus and you may be forced to reformat your hard disk and reinstall the OS. Price: Free

review details

BitDefender Free Edition

An excellent program

I've used Bit Defender for years. It's an excellent adjunct to your main AntiVirus programs. For ICQ and Windows Messenger users you can also use BitDefender for ICQ and BitDefender for Windows Messenger for added protection. Price: Free

Kaspersky Anti-Virus

I'm thinking of using it on all our computers

I have used a newer version of this software purchased in Russia on my most recent trip there with one of my laptops. It's probably one of the best firewalls out there now, has seen marked improvement as new versions come out. Price: Free Trial ($49.95)
