The GIMP version 2.6.2
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

Maybe a little harder to learn than Paint Shop Pro or even Photoshop. Gimp is a very powerful graphics/photo editing program for FREE. And because it is ported over and to other operating systems it has great support and upgrade value. Plenty of learning web sites maybe as many as Photoshop. It is really worth learning this program because that is all it cost you!

RISING Antivirus Free Edition 2009
  • Freeware
  • Win2000/XP/Vista

qleft  So far so good  qright

RISING Antivirus Free Edition 2009 version 20.58.42
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 4

I am a Fan of AVG from Grisoft and use AVG on my Linux desktop as well as my Windows laptop. But I have Windows 2000 Server at home that I use as a file and print server which AVG will NOT run on any server without costly license. Rising seemed to be the closest thing to AVG. Only time will tell if it is as good or better, but so far so good!

Windows CleanUp!
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  Adobe Reader savior  qright

Windows CleanUp! version 4.5.2
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 3
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

Does not do a whole lot, but what it does do "it is real good at"! If you get a corrupted update from Adobe and can NOT reinstall, update, or upgrade your Adobe Reader then this should fix it after you delete the adobe folder, then install the latest version.

Spybot - S&D
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  Old but true  qright

Spybot - S&D version 1.60
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 3
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

This is one of the oldest SpyWare removal programs around and it is still one of the best. There are others out there that can do just slightly better job, but not without being a memory hog. S and D still gets my vote...

Spyware Terminator
  • Freeware
  • Win2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  Does not play well with others  qright

Spyware Terminator version 2.5.0.567
  • Interface: 3
  • Features: 2
  • Ease of use: 1
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 2

This program seemed to work to good and stopped all my non standard Windows programs to constantly pull block pop-ups even when I checked remember and allow. Had to uninstall it as it was also a memory hog as well... I guess I will stick with the old stand-by "S and D".

RegSeeker
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  Great registry cleaner plus tweaker  qright

RegSeeker version 1.55
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

Cleaner works great and does auto backups. Recommend you do the registry in small groups so if you do have to do a backup restore you don't have to put everything back. Has many tweaks and custom settings too!

Process Lasso
  • Free Trial ($14.95)
  • Win2000/XP/Vista/7

qleft  Task manager on steroids  qright

Process Lasso version 3.34
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 4

Title tells the story. Although the Lasso program uses some resources it more than makes up for that in it's own management plus your custom needs! A must for Win2k as setting priority will NOT stick like XP or Vista...
