   Review - avast! Free Antivirus

   8.0.1489 (May 19, 2013)

   Avast is a good AV and once it was light, too. Now the version 8.0.xxx is big, complex and slows down my PC. I uninstalled it and adopted Panda Cloud.
   I strongly suggest Alwast developpers to make it more essential and lighter.

   Review - ZoneAlarm Free

   10.1.079.000 (May 9, 2012)

   Zonealarm free firewall is a good piece of software but is too heavy. When Emule is running, VSMON (trueVector Service) takes the cpu at 80-90 %; the pc is almost frozen and the cpu temperature goes up to 80 degrees (Celsius). Really too much !!.

   Review - PC Tools Internet Security

   7.0.0.123 (May 9, 2012)

   Good Firewall. Small, effective, low resource requirement, work fine when Emule is running (Zonealarm's VSMON caused a very high cpu load)

   Review - Media Player Classic - Home Cinema (64-bit)

   1.6.0.4014 (Feb 8, 2012)

   MPC-HC was a good player up to version 1.5.xx.
   Something changed, couple of months ago: all the last releases are full of bugs, real beta's or even alpha's.
   Stay away of all 1.6.x.x

   Review - CDBurnerXP

   4.3.7.2423 (Oct 5, 2010)

   Good burner, indeed.
   Now it is bundled with OpenCandy, a resident tool that spams you with recommendations about the software you may want to adopt.
   But if you do not want OpenCandy, just install staying offline, or (better) use your firewall to prevent the installer from accessing the net.
