ZoneAlarm AntiVirus 2006 AntiVirus + Firewall

4 stars (NICE TOOL WITH FUTURE POTENTIALS) - In the world of software, efficiency matters. And despite its lesser known name, the "ZoneAlarm Antivirus 2006" package remains one of the most potent antiviral software available today. The news that this supposedly antivirus package comes with an equally effective internet security firewall will gladden the hearts of its users. Quite unlike other newly introduced packages, there are few but negligible bugs in this software. And with its relatively cheap retail price, such a minor issue could be easily accommodated. Twice I have installed this software, twice I was impressed by how smooth the entire procedure ran. Not even the most notable names in antiviral software have produced anything that has positively surprised me in this regard. I experienced zero hang-ups, zero blue screens: and no incompatibility hassles whatsoever, emerged. Apart from the fact that this software slows down system performance, as it runs in the background, there is nothing that I can honestly accuse it of. Even at that, all utility software (including antiviral and firewall ones) are famous for draining performance resources: and this suite did it to a lesser extent when compared to either 'Norton' or 'McAfee'. One more thing aspiring users of this product should note is that you have to deactivate your operating system's firewall, if you intend to use the firewall component of this suite. This last statement applies only to those who are running Windows XP (be it Home or Professional edition). Failure to do this will likely create more conflicts and other related problems. Overall, this is a fine piece of software to use. It silently executes its responsibilities with minimal strain on your hardware. It is an utility programme, which is likely to get better as future editions emerge. ...

ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 2006

5 stars (Best of what I've seen) - If you want a good security progam that's not a resrouce hog this is the best of what I've seen. I had a prior version Norton Internet Security and was very pleased with it. I ignored poor reviews and complaints about recent versions of NIS and upgraded when the older version was no longer supported. I should have heeded the reviews as all their problem became mine. It noticeably slows down your computer, your email, your web browsing...and has applicaiton errors when you shutdown/log off windows. After one month I took a risk and purchased Zone Alarm 2006 and have been extremely pleased. No, it's not "perfect" but it works well, actually seems to catch things NIS didn't and it doesn't slow down the computer (noticeably better performance than NIS). Like NIS it does occassionaly have some program errors when shutting down or logging off...but **much** fewer than NIS..and I think they only occur after the pc has hibernated (which seems to be a common issue with a lot of software). The alerts that ZA pop up whenever a program first attempts to access the internet (or ZA when suspects it could compromise security) are probably excessive and somewhat cryptic for the average user....but you can tell ZA to not ask you again. And you get use to the alerts...and these days it's far better to have a security program have a few too many of these alerts than to just assume. As a web programmer I have to use McAfee at work and it's such a hog I always have to commit the sin of turnning it off whenever I'm doing anything complex (big program builds, installs). Everybody likes something different for different reasons. I mainly want a product to work..and to not cause grief to my computer, other programs or my work. ZA 2006 definitely meets all these requirements and has won me over. 1 stars (Stay Away!) - This software reduced my computer to a grinding halt. In the first 3 days, it locked up my computer 4 times. It constantly sa...

Encyclopedia Britannica 2006 Ultimate Reference Suite Win-Mac DVD

5 stars (Completely Revamped) - The Encyclopedia Britannica 2006 (established in 1768) is a completely revamped product. Its interface is intuitive and uncluttered. It is far more fun to use. For instance, it now offers a date-based daily selection of relevant articles. The search box is persistent - no need to click on the toolbar's "search" button every time you want to find something in this vast storehouse. The new Britannica's display is tab-based, avoiding the erstwhile confusing proliferation of new windows with every move. Most importantly, articles appear in full - not in sections. This major improvement facilitates finding relevant keywords in and the printing of entire texts. These are only a few of dozens of user-friendly alterations and enhancements. The 2006 edition is a breakthrough. The Britannica seemed to have finally got it entirely right. The Britannica provides considerably more text than any other extant encyclopedia, print or digital. But its has noticeably enhanced it non-textual content over the years (the 1994-7 editions had nothing or very little but words, words, and more words). The Britannica fully supports serious research. It is a sober assemblage of first-rate essays, up to date bibliographies, and relevant multimedia. It is a desktop university library: thorough, well-researched, comprehensive, trustworthy. The Britannica's 80-100,000 articles (depending on the version) are long and thorough, supported by impressive bibliographies, and written by the best scholars in their respective fields. The company's Editorial Board of Advisors reads like the who's who of the global intellectual and scientific community. The Britannica comes bundled with an atlas (and 287 World data Profiles of individual countries and territories), the Merriam-Webster Dictionary and Thesaurus, classic articles from previous editions, eleven yearbooks, an Interactive Timeline, a Research Organizer, and a Knowledge Navigator (a Brain Stormer). In its ne...

VCOM Fix-It Utilities 6 Professional

1 stars (Re-format your hard drive!) - That's what you'll need to do if you run this program. I couldn't connect to the update website. It hijacked my E-mail changing it to MSN from earthlink, and wiped out necessary windows files. Undoing the deletions did no good and every subsequent boot locked on a "program not responding". The final straw was when my e-mail got stuck in an "error report" loop. Un-installing did no good, hence the re-format. Apparently, others have had better luck. You pays your money and you take your chances. ...

Power Director 3

2 stars (Athlon Unsupported?) - I'm sure all of the wonderful features of PowerDirector are extolled in other reviews, so I need not get into them. I will say this: Power Director is a powerful piece of software with many good ideas, but the level of "power" given to the home-movie "director" seems a bit of a paradox at times. Case in point: I want to zoom in on a picture for a slide show, but I can't set the zoom point-- it can only zoom to center. But hey, at least I can do PiP and move that around the screen (albeit only in preset configurations like top-left to right, etc.) The Problem*** After spending about a month on correspondence with tech support (who are quite nice by the way), I still have the same issue: when VCDs, DVDs, and even SVCDs are created, they are created with randomly appearing screen artifacts (purple and green squares). They appear whenever there's action going on, or during a transition, or when text is (dis)appearing. HOWEVER, when I generate an AVI file, this doesn't happen! I get a crisp clean file. I'm not sure exactly why this is, but tech support is telling me to send them an image of my installation CD and a copy of my DxDiag.txt output from directX diagnostics. After all this, they still aren't aware of any problems with Athlon processors (they say) yet they can't figure out the problem. I know that Avid FreeDV has issues with Athlon processors, which is why I can't use that product (trying to save money one way, get bitten another way). So I figured Power Director might have issues with the same. Apparently they do not. I beg to differ. If you have an Athlon processor, beware. That's the only reason why I have to give this product 2 stars. I can't produce any media. What's the point in having video editing software if you can't distribute the final creation? Hmm.... 2 stars (Version 3 is a Beta version - Too Many Bugs!) - I was using ArcSoft but bought PowerDirector 3.0 based on a review and the advertising. ...

ZoneAlarm PRO 2006

1 stars (The trouble with Zone Alarm...) - I was given Zone alarm as part of a package with another piece of software that I needed for work. From the minute I installed zone alarm I knew it was a mistake. Zone Alarm has two modes: 1. Mother in law mode- it wants to know what you are doing, what you are looking at, how you are doing it EVERYTHING which makes configuring it a big task. The other mode it has is annoying child mode: in this mode it is attention seeking and will bombard you with questions when all you want to do is use the net. If this wasn't enough to give you second thoughts then uninstalling zone alarm is an even bigger task. The thing will not go quietly and, even after installation, it was still blocking all of my messenger programs and my ping requests. The internet is full of frustrated pc owners trying to find a way to completely uninstall it and remove all of the little obscure files it litters your computer (which I had to remove manually by searching for each one in turn) I dare you to type 'uninstall zone alarm' in to a search engine and see what you find. Zone alarm is one of those peices of software which has gotten worse in more recent versions (partition magic is another), the earlier ones were great and easy to configure but now zone alarm is the main attraction and heaven forbid you wanted to look at anything on the net without being asked a list of questions first. Their are better firewalls than zone alarm e.g. Black ice. Just look through the reviews on Amazon 5 stars (Zone Alarm is great but...) - Zone Alarm is a good firewall program and anti virus program but it what would make them top notch would be to add an ip proxy option. Don't get me wrong, Zone Alarm beats Norton any day of the week, but I don't understand how these companies can claim privacy when your data is still transfered through your ip address. I hope someone of significance reads this and works to change this over-sight. ...

PowerDVD 5

4 stars (There is a patch!) - After reading all the negative reviews here at Amazon, I decided to try PowerDVD 5 myself and this is what I have to say: after installing the software I tried to play a copyrighted DVD and PowerDVD would give me an error message "can't play copyrighted DVD's". I contacted CyberLink customer service by email and they advised me to download a patch. After installing the patch everything worked fine. I'm pretty satisfied with PowerDVD 5 , it runs fine, even on my old IBM notebook with Pentium III processor. Can't be beaten at that price! 1 stars (Tech Support--ha!) - This stuff is not worth it. I can't use it to watch copyrighted DVDs, and tech support is less than useless. I've had similar experiences to topher66 and Recif. If you do a google search on the error number (F4941436) you'll find lots of people have the same problem. Wouldn't it be nice if they just fixed the problem? 1 stars (Kludgy Software. Poor Tech support) - My experience was similar to that of topher666. On a brand new laptop, on which the OEM DVD player ran fine, this software ran extremely slowly with no sound. Tech support was of no help. After filling out a long form on the gocyberlink website, they do not even respond directly to you. You have to login into your account to check if a response has been posted. This is anyway just a form response, to reinstall the program after first editing your registry (something most people are rightfully reluctant to do) to complete the uninstall. The form has to be filled out all over again for each follow-up. I gave up after three weeks of fruitless exchanges, after having sent at their request several diagnostic files, with not a single constructive suggestion. ...

Nitro PDF Professional

1 stars (Not ready for prime time) - PDFZone.com was right on this product - it is not ready for prime time. Buggy, Help File without an index, and misrepresenting its capabilities. Claims 300% faster than acrobat - but the small print says for 1 specific Word file they tested. For my files it is slower - especially for PowerPoint and Excel. They claim #1 selling, but for their own web site! Rip Off. 5 stars (Fast and Easy and Affordable!) - I work with a small business with very limited funds for computer equipment and software. When I found this product I was excited, and then when I used it I was blown away! Whatever I want to accomplish with PDF, Nitro can do. And, it's faster! At one-third the cost of the standard PDF program, I must say I am very happy with my purchase. ...

MyMailList Deluxe 7

3 stars (Good but need more work) - The program does as promised but does not allow enough flexibility in allowing you to select what you want to print. You can select all or individual items to print but not a range or grouping of selected items. 5 stars (software review) - I bought this software to assist me in selling items on e-bay. The program does more than I even imagined. Spend the few exra dollars and you'll not be disappointed. A lot of thought went into designing this. It's actually like getting two pieces of softare for the price of one: 1) a database manager and 2) a mailing label program. 3 stars (Fairly easy to use, but only lasts a year) - This program makes it pretty easy to prepare bulk mailings. But if that's the main reason you're buying it, you need to know that you'll need to buy it again every year. The zip-sorting data needs to be updated each year, and the program won't allow you to process a bulk mailing if it's been more than a year since your last update. And the "update" actually consists of buying the program all over again. It works fine, but you need to know what you're getting into. ...
