McAfee SiteAdvisor (for Firefox)
  • Freeware
  • Win98/ME/2000/XP

qleft  Over rated crap  qright

McAfee SiteAdvisor (for Firefox) version 26.6
  • Interface: 3
  • Features: 3
  • Ease of use: 3
  • Value: 3
  • Overall: 3

1st off they change site ratings seemingly daily. 2nd off their testing involving using mcafee anti-virus known to have lower detection and higher false positives then even the freebies antivir and avast. 3rd off they change back and forth on ratings because certain people keep saying a site should be green or red based on if they like the site, not if the site deserves to be red or green. Unless you want an inaccurate anti-phishing add-on. I'd stay clear of this or have it as a secondary.

This was my favorite IM until digsby came out and now pidgin takes a distant second. Pidgin is simple to use and both adware and virus free.

For anyone who wants to get away from the bloated iTunes, nothing else can come close. Teen Spirit right now seems to come in a close 2nd.

Teen Spirit

qleft  Good but big problem  qright

Teen Spirit version 0.94
  • Interface: 3
  • Features: 5
  • Ease of use: 3

On default settings a lot of songs come up with a static popping sound. They need to add an auto detect settings for each song to give the best sound possible. Otherwise its a great player.

LeechGet 2007
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  Best if you download one file at a time  qright

LeechGet 2007 version 2.1
  • Interface: 5
  • Features: 4
  • Ease of use: 5
  • Value: 5
  • Overall: 5

If your someone who doesnt queue up a bunch of files to download then this is the perfect download manager. If however you wish for downloading multiple files go with either orbit downloader or DAP. I dont recommend fdm because all the features are average at best, it is not best at anything on its own.

Free Download Manager
  • Freeware
  • WinWin (All)

qleft  Good but nothing special  qright

Free Download Manager version 2.5.758
  • Interface: 2
  • Features: 2
  • Ease of use: 3
  • Value: 3
  • Overall: 3

I would not recommend this because there are better download managers out there. DAP, Leechget, and Orbit downloader do a better job of downloading while DAP and Orbit download offer better extras. On top of that the little arrow for free download manager is nothing but annoying and when using in Firefox more times then not Flashgot wont auto-detect like it will the others. FDM is bloatware full of features that are all average at best. Who uses this as a torrent client? I dont. If you want a download manager with extras go with go with Orbit downloader. you want a downloader with security bonus go with DAP and if you only download one file at a time, nothing can be Leechget.
