   Review - K9

   1.28 (Apr 10, 2011)

   I have used this program for quite a few years it is by far the best spam filter around especially if the "use black hole" option is invoke.
   
   However it badly needs updated and modernised to self-install on Thunderbird.
   It will work with Thunderbird but setting it up is a bit fiddly.

   Review - MozBackup (Mozilla Backup)

   1.5.1 (Apr 10, 2011)

   Very useful program but looking dated, to get best use of it customise its' .ini file.
   I wish the .ini file offered more options to enable backup profiles to be pre-set up for non techie users.
   
   Be aware it will only restore to the same version number of the Mozilla software that the backup was created from.
   
   Somebody should create a Mozilla addon to do the same job in both Windows and Linux.

   Review - Avira Free Antivirus

   10.0.0.635 (Apr 10, 2011)

   I have used various Avira AV products for some years.
   A robust AV solution that has an interface that dosen't look like something from a 1980s spectrum. However I would strongly recommend buying the Premium version.
   On the free and trial versions the update server bandwidth is severely limited and updates often time out this doesn't with the fully licensed version.

   Review - Cobian Backup

   10.0.3.743 (Apr 8, 2011)

   I have used Cobian Backup since the early versions and it has saved my bacon on more than a few occaisions. Week in week out Cobian Backup performs unattended scheduled backups via FTP to a pair of cheap as chips LANS Disks without any hassle.
   
   Only real niggle is I much preffered the look of interface on the early versions.
