    4.0 Alpha 08 (Nov 26, 2007)

    Tried this and locate32.
    I still prefer the ease and simplicity of Ava Find.
    Shift+escape, type. It's that easy.
    And it's free.
    I wouldn't be without Ava Find, but I have taken off both Locate32 and IYF now. Neither are good enough.

  2. Review - Misspelled Auction Tool

    1.0 (May 11, 2007)

    Nice idea and works well enough.
    However, it appears to be too america centered.
    Can't find a way to get it to search anything other than eBay.com.
    An option to search non u.s eBay would be extremely beneficial.
    We don't all live in america, it just seems that way to americans!

  3. Review - Microsoft Windows Live OneCare

    1.5.1890.34 (Apr 13, 2007)

    I decided to try before I commented.
    Powerful PC slowed down. Heavy system utilisation as mentioned by others.
    This is the same Anti virus software that repeatedly failed the VB100 anti virus tests.
    Are Micro$oft trying to lock out other vendors I wonder?
    Save yourself the hassle of uninstalling it. Don't bother downloading it in the first place.
    AVG 7.5 has a far superior detection rate and it's FREE.
    If you really want the best, and don't mind paying, try Nod32.
    Well done M$ for producing another bag of crap. We've come to expect it now. A little like Vista I guess!

  4. Review - CCleaner for Windows

    1.38.485 (Mar 7, 2007)

    This is part of my essential arsenal when I tune up or fix PCs. Used alongside RegScrubXP, I have two instant and free utilities. I don't like Yahoo, so I untick the Yahoo box on CCleaner.
    Fast, safe and free. Keep up the good work guys.

  5. Review - Google Web Accelerator

    0.2.70.88 (Feb 14, 2007)

    I shouldn't condemn something I haven't tried, and I won't try GWA. Simply because "compuable" puts such a complelling case for NOT using it.
    Thanks for speaking out compuable. And passionatly! Remind us all sometimes. Google is just another multinational.
