Does it's job i suppose 
English2metric version 1.0
- Interface: 3
- Features: 2
- Ease of use: 4
- Value: 3
- Overall:
It's handy if you're constantly looking up what the equivalents are but on the other hand i don't know many people that need to do Imperial to Metric conversions all that much. There are plenty of websites that have their own little imperial to metric converters so my question is "why bother with this" Other than "it looks a lot prettier" i don't see why. "English to Metric" True most of the measurements are of English origin but collectively they're known as the "Imperial" measurements. If it were a bit smaller i'd keep it.

Ok so no real interface or many features but,
Remove on Reboot Shell Extension version 1.0
- Interface: 5
- Features: 5
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
This is a simple and very useful extension. I for one am sick of trying to delete things you have no use for, only to find there's a program thats hiding somewhere using the file, I don't recommend this to Novice PC users as there generally IS a reason why it's locked but it does what it says on the tin and is great for removing those irritating Spyware bugs by ripping out an organ or two (DLL's etc) that they require. I'd recommend it to any advanced user that wants a simple way to get rid of unneeded/troublesome files. Congratulations to the creator.

Fantastic!
Ace Utilities version 2.42
- Interface: 5
- Features: 5
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 4
- Overall:
I've been using this program for about 2-3 years now and have yet to encounter a problem with it. The great thing about this simple to use powerful and accurate piece of software is that it is designed to fix issues that are constantly reappearing. With all the other "Tweak n' clean" software you download them once, change all your "tweaks" then never use that part of the huge program again. Ace does the day-to-day tasks brilliantly an with ease, it does miss a few registry problems like invalid keys and keys pointing to a non-existent file but there's always specialist cleaners for that "registry medic was good for that but i haven't seen much of it recently. The small amount of things Ace Utilities misses isn't that important they don't do any harm being there. This program lives up to it's name "Ace" keep at it AceLogix.

Sygate Personal Firewall version 5.6

It's Neat, free, and stable but this may worry a few of you. ... This is a superb free product and i recommend it to others I've never had problems with it (Apart from the amount of resources it uses @ peak) But I'm sure the developers will read reviews like this :) Keep up the good work.

Very "hyped-up" nothing too special
Mozilla Firefox version 1.02
- Interface: 4
- Features: 3
- Ease of use: 4
- Value: 5
- Overall:
It has some handy features (Password storing is one i particularly enjoyed) the program fails when it comes to deciphering the information it's given and showing it to you...it becomes slow, which is a let down. This product has a lot of hype surrounding it which i believe gives it nothing but a higher expectation to fall from. Why do we make a completely stand alone browser when we already have an Internet explorer code to improve...if you have the backbones to create something you don't try to prop a creation together on matchsticks which i found disappointing about Mozillas Firefox. I think the reviews on Snapfiles and other sites can sometimes be very unhelpful when you have the odd person whining that it didn't work on their outdated shoe-box of a PC. People need to look at their own Computers before aiming their anger on ever piece of software they own. I hope this helps.

Simple, fast, pliable and stable
Avant Browser version 10.0 Build 167
- Interface: 5
- Features: 4
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
Avant Browser functions superbly on todays industry-standard computer specifications. Anyone having problems with Avant browser will most likely find that their PC doesn't meet an industry-standard, if there is a problem with the program the response from the creator is speedy and a newer release available usually in the same week. I'm an AOL user (sinful i suppose yes) and i prefer to use Avant browser and just use the AOL dialer the tabbed interface is wonderful and very helpful, the pop-up blocker blocks 90% of pop-ups, the speed in which pages load onto your screen is improved. Many people believe that their internet speed is to blame for webpages loading slowly, which in some circumstances is true but in many cases your computer has collected the information quicker than you think but presenting it to you is where some problems lie... with Avant this is not cured completely but on the average industry-standard computer it's pretty much sorted.

Useful for some
Trillian version 0.74i
- Interface: 2
- Features: 3
- Ease of use: 4
- Value: 5
- Overall:
This is a wonderfully idea and it is well put together and superbly maintained by cerulean studios the only fault with it is with all the different companies introducing video and audio Trillian is lagging behind and their default skin and any other you can download really aren't that good. If you want to chat to people from lots of different places this really is great...if you have more buddies on one messenger service and only a few on the other services...tell your buddies to change to the same as you...everyone i know are on MSN messenger.
