Caution advised on new version 8 
AVG Anti-Virus Free Edition version 8.0.100a1295
- Interface: 4
- Features: 4
- Ease of use: 4
- Value: 4
- Overall:
I have used AVG Free the past two years. It has worked fine (great?) and there have been no virus incidents. On trying to upgrade from 7.5 to new 8.0, I have one XP machine that can't make the upgrade-on install, keep getting message that there is "another" av or security package running. Numerous messages back and forth to their help forum (which is responsive although all volunteer) has not yielded resolution and no one can find this "other" av. Obviously AVG has been around a while and is a "free" program that gets good grades, but I'd highly recommend BEFORE upgrading or installing fresh, a trip to their Forum and a review of their "stickies." Note that version 7.5 is being phased out 5/31/08, updates though will be provided through Dec 2008-waiting may be a good option. Given that I now cannot install version 8 nor install my "old" version 7.5, I can't recommend the program despite the other ratings I provided.

Simple install, simple to use
WinSCP version 4.0.6
- Interface: 4
- Features: 4
- Ease of use: 4
- Value: 5
- Overall:
I've used WS_FTP LE (Lite Version) for years, then went to Filezilla (also very good, but a bit more sophisticated than what I need). I really like WinSCP. NO install problems on my Vista pc (And I hate Vista), easy to use and free (and easy to uninstall if necessary). Tough to beat those conditions.

Incredible software at any price
JAlbum version 6.2
- Interface: 5
- Features: 5
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
JAlbum being Java based runs on about anything including Windows, Mac, Linux, Solaris, etc. There are well over 400 "skins" (design styles) available and while my 90 year old grandmother could make a web album in about 2 minutes with it, there is enough flexibility to keep my brother, the Phd Harvard geek and my sister, the New York promo designer satisfied with it for years. Unbelievable that it's free.
