Worst version yet. Bloated, slow, and stopped burning cds. To get the cd burning option back, I had to uninstall it, delete the library files, and install an earlier version to get the burning feature back. I note that a lot of people are complaining about this. Hopefully, Apple will get a fix out soon...

I've used this for some time. In addition to easy downloading, it does a good job of compressing and rendering wmv files. My only complaint is that it gives me a *.WMV file rather than *.wmv.

PC Tools AntiVirus Free Edition

PC Tools must have cured the problems referred to earlier, especially the references to it being a memory hog. On my pc (xp sp2; 1 gig ram), it has a small footprint, is perfectly stable, uses way less memory than McAfee, Comodo, or Avast. I set it to check for updates daily, which it does; so that doesn't appear to be an issue, either. I use it along with their free firewall which is equally good.

qleft  Good program, but not that easy to use  qright

Arachnophilia version 5.3 build 2164

  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 3

This is a great program if you have time to customize it, or if you want a cross-platform editor. I went back to the old version (4) just 'cuz it's easier to use and has a few features that are absent in v5 (like copying images from one folder to another. But all-in-all, it's one of the best editors freeware and shareware.
