Highly recomend this one
PhotoRazor version 2.1
- Interface: 5
- Features: 4
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
Great program, easy to use, resize a whole folder of pictures at once or choose individual pictures...fab interface lets you know exactly what you are doing. Chose a folder, choose the size and quality, press the button ...you are done The small photos are saved in a separate folder but best of all is the quality of the small photos, you can magnify them and they retain the quality. Great if you send a small photo in an email, it can be magnified for a better view...an all round good one.

Great...does exactly what it is meant to
Shuangs Audio Editor version 2.1
- Interface: 5
- Features: 4
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
Over the last two days I have tried 6 audio editing programs..this is the first on that has finally done what it is supposed to...It will work with 100mb plus files (lots dont).. nice professional looking interface..easy to use ..decodes and loads a 104mb file in just over two mins..you can trim start and or/finish.delete a section of the file..work with the volume and fade in/out..(it includes help)...This just misses excellent because there is no undo option if you make a mistake ..you have to close the file and reload..and the cancel button on the load option doesnt work...but all in all for very simple editing..you will go a long way to beat SHUANGS AUDIO EDITOR...thanks for this one...

Only for smaller audio files.
Wavosaur version 1.0.1.0
- Interface: 4
- Features: 1
- Ease of use: 4
- Value: 5
- Overall:
On opening the program it looked great..nice.. well set out interface with plenty of options but that is as far as I got; as soon as I opened a file an error message appeared: memory allocation ...unable to load file ! There is no help withing the program but there is an online forum where I found out that large files can not be handled by the program, so sadly I can not recommend this unless you want to use it with smaller files.

Rainbow Folders version 2.02
- Interface: 5
- Features: 5
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
Two reasons for getting this easy to use.. free program..one because your folders will look much nicer in color...hundreds of colors available..and the second reason is that it makes it easier to recognize color coded files....you have the option of xp of vista styles..I have used this program for ages on xp..no probs ever and now on vista..no probs..easy to use..highly recommended..

Kaspersky Anti-Virus
- Interface: 4
- Features: 5
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
I have been using security software for ten years..with varying degrees of success am now on vista ..so my options are less and I was having trouble finding a firewall that would work.. having tried four that wouldnt load I downloaded this more in hope than expectation..to my amazement it loaded fine..and has so far in three days blocked three trojans from seemingly innocent websites..stopped two virus's in emails ..it uses few resources even when scanning..and doesnt slow me down at all..programs like this are hard to find..and so far it goes into my top thee security programs of all time..and when the trial is over I will have no qualms about parting with the money that they are asking for it...what price peace of mind?? highly recommend this one...

PEN - Pennocks Email Notifier version 2.5-1
- Interface: 5
- Features: 4
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
I recently changed to Vista and found that none of the email checkers that I have used before with xp will work on my Vista machine...I downloaded a further five programs to try...none worked. Then as a last resort decided to try a shareware PEN...four minutes to configure 4 Hotmail accounts..and bingo it collected my mail. Fast, no problems; only thing I miss is accounts being color coded. Thank you Pen. You will be receiving my $5 very soon with grateful thanks. I highly recommend this. Easy to use, ok on the eye and fast.

Huge disappointment
Yahoo! Widgets Engine version 3.1.4
- Interface: 2
- Features: 2
- Ease of use: 1
- Value: 4
- Overall:
One of the biggest disappointments in ages..The concept is great...however most widgets wouldn't download and when I finally managed to download some they disappeared from the widget folder...and because it is a huge "resource hog" I didnt think it was worth persevering ...Just as well it is free..I would not have been pleased to have paid for it... Please note that this is my personal experience...your experience with this program could be different..

Use with extreme caution
Eusing Internet Window Washer version 1.85
- Interface: 3
- Features: 4
- Ease of use: 2
- Value: 5
- Overall:
This program should be used with caution..what it doesn't let you know is that it may remove lots of things you need ...so it's vital to USE THE TEST FIRST when cleaning up stuff for the first time...I didn't and lost every skype contact I have.. I would recommend this program as long as you use the test and check it!! and despite the nag screen which is just a click to remove .. when someone develops a good program its fair to ask for donations...

Free Download Manager version 2.1.490

- Value: 5
- Overall:
Certainly one of the best download managers I have tried..lots of options..very easy to use..one of my favourite things about it is that,if you are downloading music there is an option to listen to the music...my only whinge is that on "right clik save as" downloads it sometimes will only download an image rather than the file..I sent a question about it to their help ..they havent replied!!

It was all going so well .. .."download express" was downloading files fine ..Then I tried to go onto the internet with both Internet Explorer and Firefox...neither browser would work at the same time as "download Express...so this is not a programme for me..although it looks great on paper!!

iTunes version 6.05
- Interface: 4

- Ease of use: 4
- Value: 5
- Overall:
I have had four mp3 players this year..and used the manufacturers software with all of them..so my review is about using your Ipod with Itunes which is ahead of all the others..very easy to use..imports music from files quickly..downloads music to player fast..options easy.. setting up playlists etc..but the best thing for me is that you can choose the equalizer for each individual file..it means if you are playing a variety of music you dont keep having to change the sound on the player...fab...

I have cds full of virus/trojan/adware software..but without hesitation this is the best programme...+ the free trial is a proper free trial..none of this finding things and then having to pay before the programme gets rid of them.... highly recommend this programme to all.
