McAfee SiteAdvisor

qleft  Great, simple security  qright

McAfee SiteAdvisor version 1.7.0.53
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

This is a great way of identifying web sites which could cause a security risk. It's simple to use and is ideal for keeping novice (and expert) users out of trouble. A few more options such as the ability to switch off the information bubbles would be useful but this is a fantastic piece of kit none the less.

qleft  Have used for years. still as useful as ever.  qright

FreeRAM XP version 1.52

  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I have installed this and some previous versions on a number of PCs from those with extremely limited memory and processors to high spec PCs. I have never had any problems with this app and have found that in every case the performance is improved (especially for those with low memory). It's very easy to use and it does a great job of tidying up redundant memory being held by other apps. Fantastic app with some really nice features.

SQLTools

qleft  Perfect.  qright

SQLTools version 1.41 build 66
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

I used Query Commander (which is excellent) when I was working with SQL Server, but couldn't get it to work well with Oracle. I then found SQLTools and it works perfectly. It's got all the features I was looking for and is extremely easy to use. It has some very nice and well thought out options and can be configured just as you need. A truly great freeware app.

SUPERAntiSpyware (Free Edition)
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP/Vista

qleft  Not bad, great if you're willing to pay.  qright

SUPERAntiSpyware (Free Edition) version 3.1.1010
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 2
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 4
  • Overall: 4

I installed this and was rather disappointed. It's a great anti-spyware app but as pretty much all the scheduling options are disabled on the free version, it makes it no better than a lot of other similar freeware available. A real shame as it looks like a great bit of kit if you're prepared to pay.

avast! Home Edition
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP/Vista

qleft  Better than norton  qright

avast! Home Edition version 4.6.603
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

This is a fantastic product. It's so polished it's hard to believe it's free. I've used a number of AV packages including Norton and this is by far the best. The only thing it's missing is a scheduler. Regarding an earlier comment, the registration does run out after about a year, but all you need to do is re-register and you're up and running again.
