I lost all the pics on my camera's memory card. With this program, I got all of them back. Warning: As with any recovery program, do NOT write to the source that you want to recover from prior to recovery. I.E. don't take more pictures after formatting you camera's memory card if you want to recover those images.

This tool copies the music and movies off an iPod and onto any PC. Put this small app. that doesn't even need to install on your iPod, and when you visit friends, quickly and easily exchange music with them. Loose the music off iTunes? Need it back on your PC? This works for that too...it can put it back using the music on your iPod!

Everyone needs this...really
McAfee SiteAdvisor version 2.4.0 Build 6066
- Interface: 5
- Features: 5
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
This free program from McAfee works in IE and FF. It shows you while you search which sites are safe, and which are dangerous, hoaxes, or contain spyware/adware/viruses. No matter what level computer user you are, you NEED this program. It will warn you through simple colors (yellow, red, green) which sites are safe, and which are scams. Once you use it, you'll be shocked the next time you Google Search on a PC without it...which links are safe to click on?! Download this NOW.

Bringing the best of IE to your FF
Firefox Showcase version 0.9.3.2
- Interface: 5
- Features: 5
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
Internet Explorer 7 has a feature where you can view all open tabs as thumbnails. This is the equivalent for Firefox, only it's better, naturally. This can thumbnail tabs in multiple windows, display on the sidebar, and even go back and forward within previews. Very cool, and helpful.

Clean, clear, all-in-one
TuneUp Utilities 2008 version 2007
- Interface: 5
- Features: 5
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
This program does it all- it basically fixes your PC for you. It not only lets you change startup programs and uninstall the impossible, but it provides up-to-date information on what various applications do. Plus it can clean the registry, hard drive, and more, and it never causes any problems. This is a keeper!

A good microsoft app???
TweakUI XP version 2.10.0.0
- Interface: 3

- Ease of use: 4
- Value: 5
- Overall:
Yes, it's true! This can do all kinds of things you've been dying to do in XP...it can modify all sorts of settings, turn off annoying reminders; you just wonder why MS didn't include such options built into XP to begin with.

Perfection
Picasa version 2.7
- Interface: 5
- Features: 5
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
This is the all-in-one photo organizer/editor/importer/exporter/emailer, etc, etc, etc... Doesn't have all the editing features of Photoshop, but is an excellent organizing and searching system for your many photos. It also has a simple interface and is great at all kinds of odd jobs, like fitting multiple pictures one one page to print, or making wallet sizes, etc, etc

Smooth, clean, useful
Lingoes Translator version 1.53.0007
- Interface: 5
- Features: 4
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
It translates, defines, and more! Lingoes is a very useful program to have around, especially if you use multiple languages. It would be nice to see more definitions in the libraries, but they cover a good portion of many languages.

Need to capture video? Don't waste cash on those "demo makers", etc...use this! Watch out though...videos can take up tons of space!

An amazing tool you've gotta try
XNeat Windows Manager version 2.5.0.4
- Interface: 5
- Features: 5
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
This one really improves the interface of Windows XP. It comes in handy so often, you'll actually miss it when working on someone else's computer. XNeat allows you to rearrange items on your taskbar, but it also allows for some cool features. For instance, send an item to the tray to get it out of your way, or to hide it from the view of others. Uncheck the "stay on top" box for the "Windows Updated, Please Restart" window, and you won't see it again! Very useful application.

Not bad
EfreeSoft Boss Key version 3.30
- Interface: 3
- Features: 3
- Ease of use: 3
- Value: 5
- Overall:
While WinKey + D will minimize all windows, this program goes so far as to hide the taskbar icons; very clever. Useful for quick hides. Just be careful: whoever you are hiding the programs from may wonder why you are on the computer with no active windows.

Useless
FirstCap version 3.2
- Interface: 2

- Overall:
Not very useful at all. Want Caps Lock to play a warning sound? Check out accessibility options in the Control Panel of XP. Really though, why bother? If you type something in all caps, copy it into Microsoft Word and change it back to lowercase.

Eliminates the need for ie at all
IE Tab for Firefox version 1.3.1
- Interface: 5
- Features: 5
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
Just press the button. The page reloads in IE viewing capability...allowing you to see Microsoft content. Log in to Microsoft services, etc with this great app. Set sites to open in IE, and you won't even know you're browsing in different view. Now you can be all Firefox, and you have no excuse to use IE, which has less holes than before...and more holes than any other program ever. (sort of...)

It's ok
Squeaky Clean version 1.0
- Interface: 3
- Features: 2
- Ease of use: 3
- Value: 2
- Overall:
The program is just OK. Not something I'd keep lying around. But that name is great. Squeaky Clean...like the phrase AND like mouse...mice are squeaky, and you use it to clean them...nice. But again, don't bother downloading unless you happen to need this. Need to clean your mouse? Turn you PC off, or lock it (Windows Key + L).

Stop reading these reviews. They all say it rules. Download it. It's maybe the only program around that's FREE, WORKS, and its very TRUSTWORTHY. It won't mess up your PC like other poorly-programmed wanna-be's.

It's small. Click a quick link, and it's up and ready. It takes up almost no space on the screen. It's fast. Click and shoot. You have what the image you need, exported the way you need it. And it's perfect. It comes will all the best features, like selecting sections of a screen or the whole article (even the part that is below the view of the window). It's awesome!
