Avira AntiVir Personal version 6.29.00.03
- Interface: 5
- Features: 4
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
I have used this app for several weeks. The functional, no-nonsense interface is appealing to me; I want organized, accessible information, not eye candy. It loads easily and does not seem to drain the system at all. The company updates frequently and appears to know what they are doing. (Avast was a big dog and pony show with spinning globes and a surplus of features; I took it off, although it is still not completely removed from the boot sector.) Problems with Anti: 1) As noted, slow update downloads for dial-up modemd. 2) Conflicted with Outpost Firewall; tech support advised me to put Outpost .bd file in the exclusion folder, and that fixed the problem nicely. Added the .exe file for good measure. Other than slow update, I definitely recommend.

Lifesaving app!
MailWasher Free version 2.0.40

- Overall:
Mailwasher has been a real help, reducing the number of spam mails I have to deal with daily from over 150 to less than 10. I use it very aggressively, which means I do not even see what has been filtered out unless I go to the statistics sheet. Once in a great while, a friendly sender somehow gets on the Blacklist and gets rejected and bounced, but that is a price I am very willing to pay. (Those in business may feel otherwise.) I paid for the Pro version, and feel that the extra protection from First Alert service and DNS lists was well worth the cost. Tech support responds rapidly and in a friendly manner, sometimes with additional advice. The interface is not totally intuitive but is as much so as any other app of this type. You just have to play with it if you want to get its full benefit. Half the fun of this app is looking at the graph on the statistics page to see how much mail I never had to look at. Strongly recommended.
