   Review - Pale Moon

   3.6.3 (Aug 17, 2010)

   I found Palemoon to be stable in performance. However, I did not notice that it was significantly quicker than my standard Firefox installation.
   
   Some other considerations:
   Palemoon appears to be the project of a single individual (or very small group), not an organization that is accountable in any way. Although this does not appear to be spyware, I am reluctant to entrust my browser security to an unknown entity.
   
   Palemoon does not consult with Mozilla or have any apparent approval by that organization.
   
   Third party security (or privacy) software will not automatically locate and secure Palemoon.
   
   The program author, Moonchild, gave very quick and useful tech support.
   
   IMHO: Palemoon is what it claims to be-- a stripped-for-Windows version of Firefox. If you find that Palemoon is a significant improvement to Firefox, you might want to consider NOT using it for browsing that must be secure.
   
   I have no particular reason to distrust PaleMoon or MoonChild. I am just cautious of this sort of software.
   
   Upon uninstalling PaleMoon, the only problem I had was getting Firefox to set itself as the default browser again. I ran the Firefox install program again to fix the problem.

   Review - Desktop Sidebar

   1.05 Beta Build 116 (Apr 17, 2008)

   good sidebar.
   
   pros: --it is free
   --it is flexible
   --it has a small memory footprint (much smaller than Google or Yahoo sidebars)
   --has good modules (the stack is very good... enabling several modules to fit into one)
   
   cons:
   --there are prettier ones out there

   Review - Super Utilities Professional

   8.0.1983 (Apr 17, 2008)

   I have used a number of "Swiss Army Knife" type utility programs and found that Super Utilities can hold its own against most of them.
   
   Like any program of this nature, it is able to do a lot of things adequately, but nothing excellently. That is the nature of the beast.
   
   I bought this years ago and glad I did. One nice thing for me has been the lifetime upgrade policy.
   
   If you can afford one utility program, consider this one. However, if you can afford a little more, I suggest picking up a good spy-ware watcher, a good system washer, and RegOrganizer (which does a great job with registry cleaning, start-up management and uninstalling programs).

   Review - PowerPro

   4.7 (Jan 5, 2008)

   I have been using this program since the days that it was a shareware program called Stiletto. Bruce Switzer has continued to upgrade and enhance it, even though it is now freeware. He is also available for support through the user forum.
   
   Power Pro is, without question, one of the most valuable and useful programs I have. From start up to shut down, it is constantly running on my system.
   
   This is a Swiss army knife that does everything and does it well (program launcher, macros, sticky notes, alarms, reminders, shut-down, system stats, hot keys, dialog enhancement, navigation and more) If a person learns how to use this, it will save all sorts of time. It will also save the expense of purchasing other programs that can only do one thing.
   
   Warning: this program works "as-is" but the real value of it will only be found in learning it and shaping the menus, bars, reminders, etc. to suit your own needs. Once you do it, you won't want to give it up.
