You can get better results for free from NEAT IMAGE. The only reason you would want this is for the occasional PS touch-up and having it as a plug-in would be convenient, but to pay for it? Sorry.

Windows Defender version BETA
  • Interface: 5

  • Ease of use: 4
  • Value: 5

Ran the scan and it picked up a handful of items not detected by Spybot and Ad-Aware. On top of that, it's free...from MS! Where's the catch. Anyhow, any product that removes junk gets a thumbs up from me. With all the grief going on with IE lately, this free download is a no-brainer. Get it and run it right away.

qleft  Why bother  qright

LyricFX for Winamp version 2.02

  • Features: 2
  • Ease of use: 2
  • Value: 2
  • Overall: 2

Don't know what most people listen to but it had a miserable time finding my tunes. On top of that, it's clunky,unattractive and is a rather large file. I found lyrics faster than it could. Pass on this one.

FastStone Image Viewer
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP/2003/Vista

qleft  Picasa? don't need it.  qright

FastStone Image Viewer version 1.5
  • Interface: 4
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

A great image viewer that is much smaller in size than Picassa and has functions you would never expect on a free program. It's a hoot to fool around with and the kids love the slide shows. Only issue for me seems to be the way it handles my photoshop creations. Colors are distorted. All in all though I'd have to say this one tops all the viewers out there right now. Great app.

Copernic Desktop Search

Copernic Desktop Search version 1.1
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

This is the quickest search tool I have come across. Type a single word and get results instantly. Great for that mp3 search. Only issue I have was that during the initial scan, nine files were deleted. Which ones, I don't know. Other than this major concern I am more than pleased with this tool.
