WOOOT! I Finaly got rid of those annoying leftover files. Like Avira, PC Tools antivirus, WOW, Firefox (the last 2 will work right when re-downloaded unless they are completely uninstalled.) And I hate any leftovers. If I want something gone I want it gone all the way. Especially malware, ick. Great job thanks!

This blocker + the one in IE 8 blocks every thing. IE's wasn't blocking everything so this little program has finished the job. I checked every single pop up test on the site passed them all.

I don't know what happened to my Firefox, it got so damn laggy and would lock up on me! Became so bad I had to use IE again. Maybe I messed up when doing about:config tweaks? Anyways this has fixed it. Now I dont have to rip out FF and put it back in again.

Get this you need it bad. Catches almost everything. However on older computers it will slow things down to a crawl. So not a good idea to browse the net or play computer games while this is running. (If you have an old comp)

Finally! I've plagued by the revsc tracking cookie for ages now. All my scanners, As Aware SE, Spy bot search and destroy, and AVG would either not spot it or say they deleted it and didn't! *cheers* Wonderful, job on this program!! I'm keeping it :)

Is very simple to use don't be put off by that "for advanced users" bit. let it scan your comp, and make a log file. Take the log file to http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/ pust your logfile and ask for help. Then you can't mess anything up ta da.

It's real easy to use. Very light weight, doesn't take up much memory at all. No glitches so far, does exactly what it want it to do. Using a real user was making scratches on my screen (measuring quarter inch seam lines) so this much better.

Annoying
SUPERAntiSpyware (Free Edition) version 3.3

- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 2
- Overall:
It works fine I guess, and is easy to use, and not a memory hog. Every time you turn on your computer a little taskbar pop up will show up. That's annoying as hell and no way to turn that off! And very hard to get if fully out of your computer using the add remove wont get it all the way out, you have to use the search for files/folders to get it out all the way. Fix this please!

With todays scripts the ones in here fall way short. Pretty much the scrips in here fall into the how NOT to make a web site catagory. but go ahead and use it, that is if you want your visters to run away screaming never to return.

Remember people filter, don't expect it to have the kind of options you see on a a converter or editor. Think of it as a mega 101types filter program. It also will reduce the colors (size) of your picture when your finish saving it. Nice little bonus! no more messing around in crappy gifworks for me. This is a fun, slim, easy to use multi featured program. It's not often I love a program this much! Give it a try.

I've had watermark programs in the past that would take your original pic and put a watermark on it. Witch is bad and you lose your original picture! This one does not do that. It works great, is very fast, and watermark in the left hand corner is bright white. Maybe you could make it a little more transparent please?

Jennifer's right this waaaay to confusing I can't figure out how to pet my pictures in it in the first place. Did make me go WOH!! when I saw all the options though so that gets a big star, and it's free, so that gets another star, and also an uninstaller! Thanks for adding that. How about making another one but dumb it down a but eh?

Just what I was looking for have over 200 jpg pictures. And allot are big take a while to load in my website. I tried making them into thumb's in paint, but big loss in quality and really time consuming too. CPU usage really depends on the size of the picture about 15 to 32% Doesn't hog up the CPU, doesn't freeze up or cause crashes. Lovely little program. My only complaint is when I try to make a them with the mouse it keeps asking me to enable the update feature O.o

A very good program caught adware on my comp when the other ones couldn't. Be sure to Check in the quarantine list everyday and delete whats in there! Be sure to not click on the Ad-watch option as it'll try and get you to upgrade. Easy to close though. Hold down Alt+Ctrl+/delete yo bring up the Windows task manager, click on Ad-Aware and then end task. Hea hea. What do you expect? It's freeware and they all hope for you to upgrade or donate. Good idea to stick with the "Perform smart system scan" as the other ones aren't near as good.

O.O Sooo may features to much to much! AHH! *runs away* After finally buckling down ad fiddling with it it did what I wanted converted my BMP pics to gif (I like GIFs they fast and keeps quality when colors are reduced) But it doesn't have a smoothing feature. Thats need to make the GIFs crisp and clean. It didn't have a reduce nice feature eater and that is why in the end (even with the 5000 awesome and really cool filters and such) I took it out. I like XmView more it's simpler and at least has a reduce nose filter. (I want a simple smooth option very subtle, non-smearing) I'll try this program again in a few months and see if any new options are added. Oh I also ask please its to much like AOL everything in pop up windows. x.x don't like! how about an option for having it all in one window? thanks.

I've used this program for years now, it's so simple. open the program, set the framing delay to about 50-70. (less = faster, and annoying to people) then go to were your pictures are and simply drag and drop your pictures into it, hit "make animated gif" Your going to love this little program :D and it free!

Cleans out allot of things like Temporary internet files, cookies, history, recent documents, Run (in start menu), Empties your Recycle bin, Temporary files and lots more. Also scans for issues and fixes them. Advise fixing the issues one by one as sometimes it'll skip over one or two. Also don't advise saving the issues to registry to often (every month or so) as things may not work as well as before, errors and such. All this for free no more doing this by hand this a time saver.

This is perfect if you have many accounts in web forms and other sites. This program lets you save your user name and password alone! It also lets you put a password on your computers files too :D I tried KeePass Password Safe, Access Manager, and Oubliette trying to find one that would let me simply save a username/password combo and nothing else (just text) and this one did just that. With the master password everything is safe. I'll add in another review later as i'm not sure if the # of passwords you can save are unlimited or not.

This does exactly as it says it prevents. It stops problem before they start not after. Try having this program in for a week and then taking it out and see what fun you have browsing the internet! Just because a program isn't in your face or requires you to click a scan (this is not a scanner try reading the description.) Doesn't mean it isn't working. As for uploading an updated reference file thats done when you update it duh!(oh gosh I have to update it manually oh woe. *rolls eyes*)
