Review - Norton 360
5.0 Build 42 Beta (Oct 21, 2010)

I had the 360 on my PC for just a few hours before I removed it. I brought my PC's performance may down plus the cost is ridicules! I would never use their online backup and the tuning utilities are a joke!
Review - ThreatFire
4.7.0.11 (Dec 7, 2009)

I used this program for many years and I had no issues with it, found that it did a good job of protecting my PC. The only comlaint was it's Windows 7 support. All of my programs now take 3-10 seconds longer to launch and when I asked about this, the company had no response so I switched to Avast which works great.

So give it a try, you have many options.if it doesn't work out.

What a waste of money and a resource hog.
Review - SparkleXP
0.24 Beta (Sep 28, 2007)

I have XP Pro and the two times I installed it and rebooted, I was stuck at the Applying Computer Settings screen.

The other thing I noticed is that after uninstalling the program, the folder %USERPROFILE% is now on my desktop. Anyone know why and how to remove it?
Comment - Windows 8 builds show new welcome screen, Ribbon UI in Explorer
0.24 Beta (Apr 4, 2011 - 3:45 PM)

I think the Ribbon interface was useful but my main conern is customization, there are still elements in Office 2007 that I don't like and have no idea on how to tweak, if possible. I appreciate an all or nothing approach, but helping the user find a middle ground would be appreciated.
Comment - Windows Mobile 7 damage report: Mixed assessments on the CES no-show
0.24 Beta (Jan 7, 2010 - 9:04 PM)

Microsoft and all of their products and ideas are absolute jokes! They should just come to this realization like everyone else, close shop, and let the rest of the world forget they ever existed!
Comment - Can you come up with a better brand for AOL than 'Aol.'?
0.24 Beta (Nov 24, 2009 - 1:12 PM)

Sure...LMAO! AOL is and has been a joke ever since it's inception...why won't it just die already!
Comment - Microsoft's Bob Muglia and Ray Ozzie on Silverlight vs. standards
0.24 Beta (Nov 23, 2009 - 11:05 PM)

I'm not found nor every used a web site that uses Silverlight and that's fine with me. I honestly hate Microsoft for their "we" philosophy versus the rest of the world that focuses on "us". I use Google Chrome and can't think of a reason to use any Microsoft products other than Windows 7, finally something they got kind of right!
Comment - Chrome Frame erodes IE from the inside: Can Google get away with this?
0.24 Beta (Sep 25, 2009 - 9:23 AM)

I think that Chrome will be the default browser I use once it incorporates a few more useability features. I really love it's rendering speed but the convenience of IE8 is more than Chrome can offer at the moment. As for Chome Frames, busting out IE8...I like it, seems like something Microsoft would have done eventually.
