   Review - XYplorer

   12.10.0000 (Feb 9, 2013)

   I use this all day - every day. If you think you might need the features of a powerful explorer replacement, this great utility deserves a shot.
   
   Attractively priced, constantly and meaningfully updated, and a very responsive developer: what more could you ask for?

   Review - FreeCommander

   XE Build 570 Beta (Dec 17, 2011)

   Works well for me Win7 64.
   
   This is a nice piece of software, that works well. I don't expect this to be free for much longer.
   
   I'm a registered XYplorer user, and though FC is not at that level yet, it is an excellent effort that merits a try.

   Review - Process Hacker

   2.24 (Nov 22, 2011)

   A more-powerful replacement for Process Explorer.
   
   Lives in my tray at boot, and has never failed to work in any way, nor has it ever frozen or created a BSOD. This is a really nice piece of software.

   Review - CDBurnerXP

   4.3.9.2809 (Nov 21, 2011)

   Great piece of software ruined by the inclusion of spyware.
   
   So, if you want to use it, wait a bit until they post the new version without OpenCandy. Otherwise, find something else to use, as I will be doing.
   
   A shame, really, I've been a fan for a long time - but no longer.

   Review - Tweaking.com - Windows Repair

   1.5.0 (Nov 4, 2011)

   Brilliantly simple! Nothing unusual here, just a basic set of existing internal windows commands - hidden behind an easy-to-use shell.
   
   Best of all, looks like no way to screw things up! Really nicely done program.

6. Comment - It took 4 min 34 sec to get me really excited about Windows again

   1.5.0 (Jun 2, 2011 - 10:14 AM)

   There is absolutely nothing left for me to say after your comments.....I completely agree. About the only difference might be adding foobar and xyplorer to describe my computer use.
   I really hope there will be a "tech" or "pro" version that might look familiar to users like us.

7. Comment - Simplify Windows searches with Listray 3

   1.5.0 (Apr 4, 2011 - 7:38 AM)

   Please try "Everything" before you pay for any search software. It accomplishes the searches most people need performed for free....and faster than nearly all commercial products.

8. Comment - Confirmed: Time Warner Cable users impacted by DDoS attack

   1.5.0 (Feb 26, 2009 - 7:01 PM)

   NOW will you try openDNS ??
   
   Did I mention I'm on TW in SoCal with no DNS issues?

9. Comment - New Google Toolbar makes Firefox look more Chrome-ish

   1.5.0 (Feb 4, 2009 - 10:34 AM)

   Gee, does this add GoogleUpdater to your resident services, too, like the version 5 beta of Google Earth?!
   
   Enough of services which cannot be removed.....not even a module.....a freakin' service. No thanks.
   Older versions could be outright removed or disabled.....not now.
   
   Upon this discovery, I purged my system of Google products until some bright spark finds a work-around.

10. Comment - Lavasoft broadens its malware scope with Ad-Aware 2008 releases

    1.5.0 (May 21, 2008 - 9:40 PM)

    It IS faster, overall, and more transparent in regular use than the last several versions....meaning to me, faster.
    
    False positives are more scarce than in S&D, to me, though I have used both for years.
    
    And, the service can be configured to run only on demand, and be manually turned off to liberate running processes for game playing, etc.
