   Review - Advanced SystemCare Free

   4.0.1 (Jun 8, 2011)

   A great program, and getting slowly better. However, there is one exception: the defrag module is totally and completely useless. It comes up with 368 files that need to be defragged, then it pretends to be 'fixing' them. The next day I run it, it comes with 732 fragmented files, although I have not used the computer, and not one single file was touched!

   Review - WinPatrol

   20.5.2011 (May 19, 2011)

   The Full Version (shareware) is doing the job great, but the 'Freeware' version is totally useless. The delay built into the freeware version (to induce you yo buy the Full version) causes the warning come too late - the malware is already installed.
   I use RegProt', which is free, works like a charm, and is tiny, so uses very little resources.

   Review - avast! Free Antivirus

   5.0.656 Beta (Sep 1, 2010)

   This is the best free AV program available today. That title used to belong to Avira, but with version 10 they screwed it up, and stubbornly refuse to fix it.
   What I like best is the almost complete absence of false positives. Great program!

   Review - Orbit Downloader

   4.0.0.2 (Aug 18, 2010)

   This is the best Downloader I have used, but that new 'Software Updater' is a load of rubbish. Runs when it wants to, uses 100% of CPU, and when you want to update something - it dumps you on somebody's home page. Fortunately you can turn it off!.

   Review - CloudDrive

   0.68 (Mar 17, 2010)

   The 5GB offered is generous, but the program does not work at all. Many files are not uploaded - for whatever reason - and you land with a huge list of error messages. There is no synchronizing function to after-wards copy the skipped files. So, there is no way of knowing what is backed up, and what isn't.
