avast! Home Edition
  • Freeware
  • Win98/2000/XP/2003/Vista/7

qleft  Great, but uninstalling can be a trip!  qright

avast! Home Edition version 4.6.623
  • Interface: 1
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 1
  • Overall: 2

This thing will not uninstall everything. I had processes or files running in the background left over that just cannot be removed by conventional methods. I had to use registry edit and removal programs to get rid of it all. and I am still not convinced that it is completely gone. This is the only anti-virus program that has ever given me this problem. Otherwise, this is a great virus cleaner. It doesn't take up too much memory, and you can shut it off at will. However, its processes/files will remain running in the background. I cannot recommend any great program that is very hard to completely get rid of, especially when after installation, some of its files still run in the background tying up unnecessary resources.

If you just want to surf with no bells or whistles, I recommend this browser. It opens fast, it is easy to use, and it will get you where you want to go in a hurry.

Opera
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  Has a bad drawback.  qright

Opera version 7.54u2
  • Interface: 3
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 3
  • Value: 1
  • Overall: 2

I can't use Roboform or other form fillers with it. The form filler that is uses is poor as it only allows you to fill in one line at a time. I do recommended it for stability though. There have been a few websites that hunged or closed my other browsers, but not Opera.

Game Optimizer Pro
  • Free Trial ($19.95)
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP

qleft  I can't see a difference.  qright

Game Optimizer Pro version 1.0
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 2
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 1
  • Overall: 3

I have a few games that will not start up the until time or will only work after a reboot. I have used this program according to the directions, and I cannot say anything has changed. I still have the same problems with the same games. I like the interface, it looks pretty neat. The features are bad because they don't seem to anything for my games. The program is very easy to use and understand. Still, if the features are doing anything that they claim, it probably doesn't hurt to use it. But, I wouldn't put money up for it.
