Great search tool 
Lookeen Search for Outlook
- Interface: 4
- Features: 5
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 4
- Overall:
I'm using it now for about a month and I'm very satisfied. So far it gives me fast and reliable search results. I do use several .pst files for my different accounts I have in Outlook, and Lookeen finds everything almost instantly. It's performance as an desktop search is also pretty good. I can totally recommend this small tool, it really does save a lot of time by not searching but finding what you're looking for.

Great software
KeePass Password Safe
- Interface: 5
- Features: 5
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
I have used this for a number of years moving from Version 1 to the current version 2.09 Using the safe means that you can double click the URL and then copy username and passwords when logging in which defeats any keyloggers. There is also a usb drive version equally secure so it is easy to carry your complex passwords around with you. All you need to remember is the one password to open the safe, the rest is stored.

Great tool with unbeatable support
Simple Port Forwarding
- Interface: 5
- Features: 5
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
This tool really lives up to its name. Select your router from a list and the program does the rest to set up your port forwarding. The program also alerted me to the fact that my new modem was also a router - something I did not realize. This modem/router was interfering with port forwarding through my main router. It was not on Simple Port Forwarding's built in list, so I used the companion screen capture tool to send the info to Shane, the developer. He was quick to respond and, through a series of e-mails, patiently walked me through the steps necessary to configure my hardware. I am VERY impressed with the level of support Shane gave me!

Impressive
Benubird PDF
- Interface: 4
- Features: 5
- Ease of use: 4
- Value: 5
- Overall:
An impressive and very useful program. Benobird PDF easily manages my multitude of doc and pdf files which are scattered all over my (external) hard disks. Benobird indexes all these files and folders in a jiffy. It organizes all and retrieves specific files (nearly) with the speed of light. Very versatile. I like it.

Does the job!
PC Inspector File Recovery
- Interface: 4
- Features: 4
- Ease of use: 4
- Value: 5
- Overall:
I am SO grateful that someone recommended this program when I accidentally "moved" rather than "copied" files from a flash drive and thought I'd lost them. I'm not a tech person, but was able to figure out how to use this program, and while it wasn't a straight "copy and paste" to my hard drive - which may have been due to my lack of understanding - was able to work it out and recover everything. Thank you so much, Snapfiles, for providing this freeware! It, and your service, is much, much appreciated, thank you!

Great program
CCleaner (Slim)
- Interface: 5
- Features: 5
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
Really nice program. I use this on all of my computers and highly recommend it to others. The general cleaner for junk files, unneeded temp and dump files works well. The registry cleaner works well and will clean out most non-functional or obsolete entries. It is mostly dummy proof so functional entries will not get deleted. There are more powerful cleaners, but you will pay a price for those or you will eliminate data or important registry entries if you don't know what you are doing. I always use the slim or stand-alone version of CCleaner. I have never had a problem using this software and best of all it is FREE.

ZoneAlarm

I have used ZA both free and paid in the past.It did a great job back then. But today it needs to be seriously redone. Matousec's firewall tests have shown them to be serious lacking in security. The paid version only caught 72% of the tests. The unpaid version only stopped 11% of the tests. Making it insecure altogether. I no longer recommend or use either of them. There are far better firewalls to be had.

I have used this since it's beginnings. I've always found it to be a very useful program. It does exactly what it's designed to do. I use it as a secondary scanner.I would recommend it to everyone.

jv16 PowerTools Lite

- Value: 5
- Overall:
I agree that this program shows bit to much caution.But that's not a necessarily bad thing. I check each of the things found individually until I'm certain the setting match with I want done. After some fine tuning I can say this program work just as I like it and doesn't vary from it.Using it and other programs of similar nature I find them very effective in combination. Even as a stand alone it cleaned things other simply missed.

Very effective if used correctly
Wise Registry Cleaner Free

- Ease of use: 4
- Value: 5
- Overall:
I've found it to be very effective if used correctly. As with all registry cleaners make sure you know how to use it.I would not recommend it to novice computer users at all. But if your an advanced user you shouldn't have any problems with it.

I agree that at one time it was one of the very best. But now it's become problematic to use and is not effective at all.I can no longer in good faith recommend it to anyone these days. I not longer have it installed. There are far better things you can use other than this software.

Simply the best
Comodo Internet Security
- Interface: 4
- Features: 5
- Ease of use: 3
- Value: 5
- Overall:
I have used many firewalls on many different systems. I have found Comodo the most secure you can get paid or otherwise. I only use the Firewall and Hips portion as I think their AV leaves a lot to be desired. It may not be the easiest to use but certainly is the most secure you can get.

Skype
- Interface: 5

- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
For the most part, I've had good results with the software. Ive only lost connection once during a video chat. It's very easy to set up and make camera adjustments, etc. The sound and video came over well, with full screen viewing looking good. Give it a try. If you don't like it, don't gripe. Just take it off and move on. It's free.

Winmtr identifies the bad hop
WinMTR
- Interface: 5
- Features: 4
- Ease of use: 5
- Value: 5
- Overall:
WinMTR traceroutes over and over to give you stats on current, average, and worst latency at each hop. Run this for a few minutes and give it an eye during any network slowdowns, and you'll be able to identify the "bad hop" giving your connection trouble. Maybe it's your local ISP gateway, maybe their connection to the Internet, maybe some Internet congestion far away? WinMTR will show you. WinMTR also fits my general experience with SnapFiles: the smaller the download the better the quality!

Full and fast
mp3DirectCut
- Interface: 2
- Features: 3
- Ease of use: 2
- Value: 4
- Overall:
Pros: 1) Drag 'n drop. 2) Very fast. 3) Works on MP3 files directly. 4) Fade 5) Auto-cue feature which let's you split 1 large file in several smaller parts of equal size. 6) Several languages. etc... Cons: 1) Interface could be confusing at first with all the buttons. 2) Read the Help. Faster than Audacity for the tasks you usually do on an MP3 of which you don't want to change the existing quality or sound frequency (tasks as: cut, fade, ...). Better than Megamp3split because of the fading-possibility and because you can configure the way you save cuts more to your needs.

Does the job
HotkeyP
- Interface: 3
- Features: 4
- Ease of use: 4
- Value: 4
- Overall:
Had a problem with hotkeys nog functioning any longer on Windows (XP/Vista, PC, Laptop, Netbook). This tiny app (with actually lots of features!) does the job very satisfactory. Pros: 1) No installation. Just unzip. 2) Doesn't demand too much of your PC when it is loading with your PC. 3) Ability to export/import the hotkey-file between computers. 4) Drag 'n drop.

Quick and effective
Mega MP3 Splitter
- Interface: 2
- Features: 2
- Ease of use: 4
- Value: 4
- Overall:
Pros: 1) Can handle large MP3 files. 2) Splits accurately as well in secs as in frames. 3) Fast. It can take too much time for many other programs (e.g. Audacity) to load a large MP3 and do some basic cutting on it. Cons: 1) Tiny interface-elements. 2) Can't fade-in/fade-out.
