512mb == can run simultaneously with another!

NetVeda Safety.Net version 3.61

Interface: 4
Features: 4
Ease of use: 5
Value: 5
Overall:

Installed it over LookNStop. Working fine... vs another (just deinstalled) which hosed the dialup connection... www. firewallleaktester. com has info which prompted the dual-firewall setup (learned that at least FreeBSD can run 2 firewalls simultaneously, so figured why not win98?? )

Ease of use: 5
Value: 5
Overall:

Default clock COOL. Have yet to use the other 9 or so features, 2 add-ins (iirc) possible: auctions; web export; I opted for the latter also;

Rvw for psnl $49 version not pro/lite

diskMETA Pro version 1.0

Interface: 5
Features: 5
Ease of use: 4
Value: 5
Overall:

Win98 where Indexers fail--Buy the $49ver, its the holy grail--Rename the AV, Upgrade the sticks--[after svl smaller SF MODE indexes] -- yes the one you should've picked!! ..... (indexes selected folders and extensions quickly!) One should uninstall the Lite Version before installing either paid versions... (I upgraded because a super desktop search program fails to add anything to its already-huge index)

Definitely on the to_do_list

CCleaner (Slim) version 1.14.072

Interface: 5
Features: 5
Ease of use: 4
Value: 5
Overall:

Howsoever I run it in SAFEMODE (win98 F.E.) as the third tab, the tab for which I use the program, ('check for issues' iirc,) took forever (twice) then crashed at completion. In safe mode, the same tab is about a minute or two to scan. *and* the scan was *very*** efficient and/or complete... after which one selects 'fix selected' or such, if one is careful to observe all the usual caveats beforehand.

Super-featured; but had to uninstall for now;

mYspike version 3.0

Interface: 5
Features: 5
Ease of use: 4
Value: 5
Overall:

Apparantly includes .Net framework. Gave error dialog box repeatedly and would not begin searching, subsequent investigation showed that my firewall did not have it listed as approved despite the 'ok'. Had to uninstall; however, these problems *may* because of interaction with the firewall rather than .Net faring poorly on my win98 FE system. Won't know until/if I install it again. BUT if it works (say one already has .Net apps on their computer running okay) it should be a super program...

Indispensable and then some...

BootIt Next Generation version 1.64

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

Reading the description twice, then reading the online support pages twice, one may not yet grasp that this program can ALSO: a... fdisk and / or format to Dos, Win, Unix, Linux, xBSD; b... image to a cdr, of any partition, before booting to any of them... c...image to a 2d hd disk, before booting, [I recommend practicing the image-and-restore before it is actually needed, maybe on a small created-for-backup partition ]. Why anyone would run ANY win/dos/linux/bsd/unix without this program escapes me...

Rvw. for shareware version

Look n Stop Lite version 1.04

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

Look N Stop Lite was my first firewall. I was planning to install (another highly reviewed firewall) when I read the results of testing (firewall vs firewall vs...) and Look N Stop 2.x passed more often than both the Lite version and the (other highly reviewed) one. Paid to upgrade immediately. Not sorry. Reg. code may take several days to arrive, no need to send inquires...

2nd comment re This Program

Edit IE URL

Overall:

More impressed than initially! ; run-every-day one can just scan unchecked for make keeper which would convert the list to a bookmark-list of sorts. [saw screenshot of suggested-by-other- comment and looks a little more complex than the above ]. I run it from a dos box from which I am accustomed to exit right now running e.bat which "echo g=ffff:0000 | debug" makes the dos box a three-step operation: 1... taskbar msdos icon opens dos box [any other command line operations] 2... editieur 3... e (closes dos box) thereupon editieur ready. Someday i ll get around to making a shortcut...

SUPER program once I got it right

Edit IE URL

Overall:

Super program. 1...checkbox all url s -- one click (browser should be closed) 2... unchk those to remove *CAREFUL* don t highlight, attack the checkboxes from the left side; browser opens unexpectedly. 3... click remove unchecked 4... done! no install, one exe file.

memmax

MemMax

Overall:

It replaced on my win98 system another fine program; this one can be configured to do the 3 2-second defrags in one mouse click. Minimized, it shows remaining ram so gives an indication of whether another defrag is necc.
