If you do not have the virus this is for then that is great but, it is when you do get such things that you can struggle to have the right utility or anti virus program to combat it. I had to use this lately and it really worked so well. It removed all problems enabling my PC to work well once again! I highly recommend this as a download to keep somewhere..just in case!

This is yet another great freeware from this company that brings us CCleaner already! I love the way it tells you how many fragments all of your files are in, with a graphical representation on screen where you can select a fragmented file and then watch as it is put back together into a contiguous file before your eyes. I recommend this program and love it! I wish there was also an option to rearrange the files so that they are at the start of the hard drive, leaving the empty space in one large area instead of all over the drive. Maybe it doesn't really make much difference though...who knows, there is so much conflicting information online. some sites claim that defragmentation is altogether not needed and has no effect on performnce these days with the systems we use. that was in an article on pc mag site or somewhere. I disagree!! If you DO think defragging is a worthwhile thing (IT IS!!) then you will want this fine utility!

Difficult interface
Greenfish Painter version 1.0
- Interface: 1
- Features: 2
- Ease of use: 2
- Value: 4

I liked the idea of this one but there are a few flaws that are obvious right away... the interface doesn't, in any way, jump out at you to assist you in your attempts to create. You really have to look into each part and work out what you are supposed to click or type to get the brush to have the effect you are wanting it to have. A lot of the time you are required to type in a numerical value to change the effect of the painting brush. for example: Hardness: 20 or something like that. this is not exactly rocket science but lets face facts, we are in the time of point n click and, in that context this program fails. As to the general effects and capabilities of the software, it is still behind other similar programs by quite a large margin but I feel it really has potential and is maybe one to watch in the near future. I hope the developer keeps going with this one and I will be downloading and testing every update!

Not impressed!
Free Fast MPEG Cut version 2.3
- Interface: 3

As the old saying goes...you get nothing for nothing! This program first of all got me irritated when, after installing it proceeds to open my browser to it's homepage. I was busy and DID NOT WANT my browser opening at that time! Then I notice it has also installed some 'extras' as well as the program advertised. The extra is a 'studio manager' interface which, put simply is just a way of controlling all of the wonderful(I am sure) programs from this author, in one place. Kind of like Nero startsmart works. You start the starter app and then you can choose which app you want to work with from there. Well this 'studio manager' is like that. It lists lots of other softwares in it and, of course, when you click any of them you are taken directly to the page to buy it. Anyway it works as an mpeg cutter so I cannot fault it there! I wouldn't recommend it though, plenty of less presumptuous softwares to use!

The best there is
Instant File Name Search version 1.6
- Interface: 5
- Features: 3
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
This program is the one for me after a long boring time installing and testing all of these desktop searching programs. All I wanted is a program that I can start and type a file name into, then hit search and find me the file. I don't want to search WITHIN every text pdf, rar, zip or DOC file. I don't want a program to be continually slowing me down by indexing the drives all day or whenever it feels like it (google desktop anyone? Copernic perhaps?) This program just does what I need. It is super-fast at indexing all my drives and I only need to do that every two days or so, no longer than a minute for over a terabyte. It is true there is no right click explorer menu when you have the list of found files. You can only click to open them and nothing else. but! You CAN go into the 'about' menu and then click to register for the slightly enhanced version which DOES have those features and is pretty cheap too.
