I'd already reviewed the MSE for Vista/7...I have put this on a bunch of XP machines for friends. Works GREAT and I like that they won't bug me in a year for re-registration or renewing the product. You barely notice that it's there most of the time, but it seems to catch any viruses on the system. Winner.

Unlike the last reviewer, I find this prog to be very fast on the several computers that I have installed it on. Easy to use, no registration required. Good basic protection, especially for not-so-savvy users.

This AV program is the bomb! They did it from scratch and they got it right. Norton? McAfee? No way. I haven't used them in years anyway. I was using NOD32, which is a great product. When I discovered this program, it sounded worth trying. I have absolutely nothing negative to say. It's quick, it's unobtrusive, it's accurate, and a cinch to use. If you want free, AVAST is the way to go, but if you want the BEST, this is it.

I absolutely LOVE Firefox 3.0! I have not submitted a review for any software on this site until now, though I've used the site for quite some time. Once I downloaded 3.0, I immediately noticed an increase in speed when browsing. I also love the "Awesome Bar" feature, where you type in keywords in the address bar and as you type, you get sites which you have visited recently, are in your Bookmarks, or have been tagged with the word(s) that you are typing. With the previous version of Firefox, it seemed that when I first went online, I'd have a minute or two of very slow page loading, then it would go away. I no longer have this problem on 3.0... The interface is very clean and doesn't take up too much space. It's a winner!
