cam2pc - Freeware
  • Freeware

cam2pc - Freeware version 4.6.1
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 1
  • Ease of use: 3
  • Value: 3
  • Overall: 2

The freeware version is a lightweight version of cam2pc. It does not contain most of the features that the Shareware Edition has but still is a very good simple image browser, viewer and downloader for free!

Advanced SystemCare Free version 2.51
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 3
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 4

This is an excellent utility. I must take exception though to the claim or idea that this is a "one-click care for your PC", it simply - is not. If you were to use this utility in a one-click manner, you would surely inherit many system problems - in a swift click. With that said, I hope I scared all the non-technical users away, because I would hate to see them cripple their system in one click. Again, this utility is excellent but you must go over all the changes to be made, and understand to some degree what is being changed so that you can tell when to forbid or ignore a change that would be bad for your system. It takes about 40 minutes to use this utility, going over all the potential changes and deciding what should or shouldn't be changed. This is really a great time saver since it would take days to do this manually. I especially like the Registry Fix and Spyware Removal features, but use Security Defense with caution, if at all.

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

qleft  Power users only  qright

Dexpot version 1.4
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 1
  • Value: 3
  • Overall: 3

Dexpot 1.4 is a rather complicated utility that has, now here this - ZERO documentation and ZERO help files. If you want help at the Dexpot website, forget that too, unless you know German - English are not welcome and get no support (I suppose it's because they can't read or speak English). If that doesn't scare you away, then let me reiterate - the utility's configurations are complicated and not for the common user. For the common user Dexpot has way, way, way too many configuration possibilities - something that Power Users love, but common users will get freaked out over. Can't hurt to give it a try, unless you make major modifications, then you might have problems that no one can help you resolve - beware. If you don't need this utility, don't install it. If you must have it, then remember you are very much all on your own.

Maxthon

Maxthon version 1.5.2 build 21
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

Interface lightweights need not apply. This is the best browser for advanced users who like control and hate others to make decisions for them. Yeah it's so good Microsoft is buying Maxthon and has no interest in purchasing any other browser. It's free, but is it worth buying it. Airheads stick to your Firefox.

Windows Live Toolbar
  • Freeware
  • WinWin XP

qleft  Lookut revamped  qright

Windows Live Toolbar version 1.2
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

If you liked Lookout you will like MSN Search because it is made by Lookout for Microsoft. This version is far more superior to the previous beta version released by MS, and the MSN Deskbar has been downsized as not to take up too much taskbar space (you can turn it off altogether). Yes, not only does it automatically index MS Outlook email messages but ALSO indexes email message attachments. This truly is a set-it-and-forget-it utility as it builds all indexes and maintains them automatically. You can customize the settings to index what you will, or accept the default settings if you aren't into customizing. If you have used dtSearch before, this free search tool beats that too, especially when it comes to maintaining indexes, which must be manually done in dtSearch, while MSN Search it fully automatic keeping itself up to date with every MS Windows session. For free, one can find nothing to complain about, it really is that good and useful. Download and install now!
