   Review - UltraEdit

   16.00.0.1038 (Apr 13, 2010)

   A++ for tech support. I reported the Spell as you Type bug in v16.00.0.1037 late yesterday afternoon, they quickly responded that they were able to identify the issue, and they notified me that they released the fix in 16.00.0.1038 this morning. Overnight service!

   Review - ScreenSaver Commander

   1.1 (May 17, 2006)

   Update Feb 25, 2007:
   There is a program that can run a different screen saver on each of your monitors, for people who "want to use several screen-savers instead of one" simultaneously:

   Older text:
   Looks like there is a program that can run (play) a screensaver on one monitor, while working on another: UltraMon Screen Saver Player (used with UltraMon). http://www.realtimesoft.com/ultramon/addons.asp

   Review - avast! Free Antivirus

   4.7.826 (Apr 28, 2006)

   I ran the built-in update, and now have v4.7.827.
   
   I installed Avast! a while back to replace Symantec Anti-Virus Enterprise Edition, since Symantec was taking a small performance hit on my already slow (but still perfectly working) home computer (1.3 Ghz P-III, 512.Meg RAM, Win2K, dual monitors - LCD + CRT), and the computer is better performing with Avast, and I still haven't been infected.
   
   No problems with Symantec AV-EE at work on my more modern computer (3.0 Ghz P-4, 1.Gig RAM, WinXP Pro, dual monitors - both LCD).

   Review - Mozilla for Windows

   1.7.13 (Apr 20, 2006)

   Mozilla 1.7.x was fine, but now that the new version - Seamonkey - is out, and is working fine for me in Windows 2000 & XP, and has a few added and useful features, I don't have a reason to go back to the older 1.7.x version of the Mozilla suite.

   Review - SeaMonkey for Windows

   1.0.1 (Apr 14, 2006)

   SeaMonkey 1.0 has been rock-stable for me in Windows 2000 and XP, but I'll install 1.0.1 for the security fixes. I have been using the suite since before Mozilla 1.0 (and the original Netscape suite before that), and SeaMonkey is a very nice update to Mozilla 1.7x.

6. Comment - McAfee VirusScan 9 Goes After Spyware

   1.0.1 (Jul 14, 2004 - 10:45 PM)

   I'm already using Symantec (aka. Norton) Anti Virus Corporate Edition v9.0, which claims to detect adware and spyware. Here's what their web site says about it:
   
   "NEW! Expanded Threat Detection and Threat Categorization recognizes unwanted applications such as spyware and adware"
