   Review - Apple iTunes for Windows

   9.0.1.8 (Sep 23, 2009)

   A friends CDROM drive stopped working after installing iTunes. Go figure. After some digging, the problem was traced down to GEARAspi.dll which was installed by iTunes. A lengthy manual removal (which involved editing the registry and setting some files to delete on reboot via the registry) and the problem was fixed, but guess what? iTunes was working just fine!
   
   Just WTH was it doing installing installing CDROM drivers in the first place?? Bloated junk, indeed.

   Review - Norton Internet Security

   2010 Beta (Jul 6, 2009)

   Can't even download it. So I signed up to download the trial, and this is what I get:
   
   "We are sorry that we are unable to process your request for Symantec beta products at this time. Symantec screens orders to ensure Symantec does not export products in breach of government regulations. As part of the screening process, your request has been cancelled at this time for one of the following reasons:
   There is a temporary export restriction from the country of origin to the destination country"
   
   And I'm not from one of those countries the US would have export restrictions to. Tried downloading from anonymous US proxies but still doesn't work. What gives?
   
   Anyways, this is silly. It's just a free, beta version. They're not selling or "exporting" anything. Why should there be any restrictions? This makes no sense at all.

   Review - Revo Uninstaller

   1.83 (May 8, 2009)

   The best uninstaller I've ever used; even better than Your Uninstaller and other commercial programs!
   
   What makes it good is it's speed, and more importantly, accuracy. I've seen that more often than not, Revo is bang on the buck detecting leftovers.
   
   There's also a portable version btw:
