3 Stars It Works but painfully
Too much trouble and pain to get confortable with having made the decision to use this product

4 Stars RIP OneCare.
This great product is being put out to pasture by Microsoft. A new offering (code named “Morro”) will provide the anti-malware features of OneCare…free.

OneCare WILL NOT work with the upcoming Windows 7.

If you decide to buy OneCare, MS will support your product for the term of your subscription. The antivirus engine is virtually the same as contained in its admirable enterprise product called ForeFront Client Security. The basic structure of OneCare is solid.

OneCare does a lot more than just protect your computer from malware. It has performance, stability and backup features that are easy and reliable to run.

[...].

Goodbye, OneCare. You were a great product, but I’m guessing that Microsoft has bigger, better plans on the horizon with its Morro project.

5 Stars Windows Live OneCare
Upgraded to Vista and needed a basic AV. Software installed without issue and was easy to configure. I have had no issue with the software in the 3 months installed, abet I do not spent an excessive amount of time surfing the web. Only have the software installed on 1 PC but for the sale price, it is a good deal.

5 Stars Like this internet security software
2009 looks clean and sharp compared to their 2008 version. Easy software to install and easy to use. Have had Trend Micro Internet security for 5 years now and wouldn’t go to another ani-virus software.

5 Stars internet security
When purchasing this product it is important to know that if you purchase a 2008 version it will update to 2009. Listing what kind of security the security provides. The provider did. The product was on time and in good condition.

4 Stars Good Product
This product was highly recommended from others who are

using it. I would have to agree, that it is less expensive

and seems to operate less obtrusivly than other well known

products I have used in the past.

2 Stars conflicts with Outlook email
This program is ineffective at spam prevention. Since I get dozens of spam emails per day but perhaps one virus encounter per year, this program is a failure for me.

Here’s the issue: according to Microsoft, you can configure Outlook to download emails from multiple email accounts and use Outlook’s “rules” functionality to sort the emails into various folders (a different inbox folder for each email account that you are checking). TrendMicro’s AntiSpam feature conflicts with that Microsoft-recommended use of Outlook. Specifically, because the AntiSpam functionality conflicts with the Outlook rules, you will end up with all your spam DUPLICATED in your email folders and none will be eliminated.

There are far superior antispam programs that are actually written to be compatible with Outlook rules. For example, search online for Spam Reader. Not only does it eliminate spam and not conflict with Outlook rules, but it has a much nicer user interface that puts a big company like TrendMicro to shame.

When I contacted TrendMicro customer support about how their program was creating duplicate copies of all the spam, it took six interactions via email before they got around to saying the duplication problem “cannot be avoided”. (The other suggestions were amusingly unhelpful: Modify network protocol settings related to sending mass emails! Turn off TrendMicro! Realize you just have different people sending you the same spam message at the same instant!)

1 Star Viruses Not Stopped - Twice!
I’ve been using Trend Micro for two years now. It used to be all I recommended for friends and family. Recently, this program has become inept, for the second time in a year, allowing my computer to become infected with very hard-to-remove Trojan Viruses.

This virus wouldn’t allow windows updates, redirected my browsers, wiped out every restore point I ever had, and even deleted the administrator’s email account. They suggested I download and use their system cleaner, but that even failed to initialize.

Trend Micro’s chat support was completely useless, and so was there phone support. One phone support tech told me, “oh that’s a window’s problem”, and refused to help me. I downloaded Microsoft Windows Defender for free, which immediately quarantined the “Vundo” out of my system32 folder. It has finally been removed. I’ve written Trend Micro, who has refused to respond to me.

Alsoft DiskWarrior 4 0 Mac Univeral Binary WDD105

DiskWarrior is the safest, the most technologically advanced, and the most powerful utility to eliminate directory damage available for any computer. DiskWarrior uses a different approach to disk directory repair than other programs. DiskWarrior is not a disk repair program in the conventional sense. Instead of patching the original directory, it uses a patent-pending technology to quickly build a new replacement directory using data recovered from the original directory, thereby recovering files and folders that you thought were lost and that no other program could recover. Monitors drive hardware for potential drive failure Verification of replacement directory ensures data integrity Comparison of original directory with replacement directory tells you which files and folders may have been affected by directory damage Patented preview feature to view what the disk will look like after the directory is rebuilt, allowing you to view files and folders before any directory changes are written to disk Repairs damaged boot blocks and blesses the system folder to ensure that the computer will start from the repaired disk

They were nice. Although not to knowledgeable about the disk I ordered. Had to send it back. But they were quick to respond. I do hope that the charge to my credit card will soon show they refunded me as it was almost $100.00. So far is still on my credit card statement.

5 Stars Great Product
This product worked great for us. As a school we need to save money whenever we can and this product has in 1 month saved us over $600.00 in what would otherwise have been some expensive computer repairs.

5 Stars Excellent Hard Drive Maintenance Software
I really like this software. It’s very easy to use and very fast. I recognize the need for keeping your hard drive clean for more efficient use and in the past have used several producst to do this. WinCleaner allows me to do all that with just one product. After you install it you can configure it to do what you want it to do. From that point forward you just have to remember to click one button to run the software. Works beautifully and keeps my 4 year hard drive running smoothly.

5 Stars This is a great program!
I have used Wincleaner for years and was upgrading it with this purchase. Wincleaner is an indispensible software program to keep your computer in good running shape. I haven’t seen another program that comes close to it. I can’t imagine having a computer without this program.

5 Stars Best Yet
I have had three previous programs to “repair” the registry. This is the absolute best, and very easy to use.

5 Stars One of the best computer software I own!
I can’t explain it all but this product works and is way better than System Mechnic Pro 8, Defender Pro 15-in-1, and Windows Live One Care which really does slow your PC down! What a waist of money and time! It is fast and safe to use. So if you want a computer software that works and good for the money I recommend this great product! I think you’ll be very happy with this!

5 Stars Good registry cleanner
WinCleaner one click does a super job of cleaning trash out of your computer that slows down all of your programs. Helped a lot with my surfing speeds.

PCmover with Selectivity Including Laplink USB 1 1 Cable

Did you get a new PC or are you planning to get one? Perhaps a notebook to partner with your desktop? Transfer or copy files from one to the other with PC Mover from LapLink. It’s utility software you simply must have. PCmover is the only migration utility that moves programs, files, and settings from your old PC to your new PC. Simply install PCmover on both your old and new computers and go! PCmover will determine which programs, files, and settings need to be moved, and when the transfer is complete, your new computer will have the personality and functionality of your old PC plus all of its own pre-installed software. Works with almost any Windows operating system, from Windows 95 to Vista. Now with PCmover’s selectivity features, you can choose which applications, folders and files to take with you when you migrate to your new PC. Most software requires you to perform two separate migrations for two separate users - not PCmover! Save time by automatically migrating all XP users and their configurations from an old PC to a new PC in a single migration No need to wait for your new PC to arrive - you can store a copy of all your files, settings, and programs on a server, external hard drive, or even CDs or DVDs, and migrate them to the new PC or new hard drive at a later date Intel-based Mac users running Apple Boot Camp or Parallels Desktop for Mac can use PCmover to transfer files, settings and applications from their old PC to their new Mac PCmover will transfer files, settings and programs from PCs with operating systems dating back from Windows 95 right up to Windows Vista Includes USB 1.1 cable

User Ratings and Reviews

2 Stars Not Recommended
I thought that this product would handle the movement of my files and programs from my old to my new computer. I read the reviews and saw the problems with the USB 1.1 cable, but I thought that it was finally upgraded to a 2.0 cable. It wasn’t, so I used the LAN connection and the movement took FOREVER! While most programs were moved correctly, some were not and had to be reinstalled. If I had to do it over again, I would use the transfer utility included with Vista (or at least the HP version of Vista). On a positive note, when the transfer setup failed, the support was excellent.

2 Stars wrong cable
I was disappointed with the customer service dept. I had the wrong cable

for the transfer. With Vista 64bit you need the orange cord. Which was not discovered by the first two customer service reps. I had to talk to management before one was sent three day UPS. PCmover with Selectivity, Including Laplink USB 2.0 Cable

1 Star TERRIBLE! BEWARE!
What a headache and a waste of time and money! I used this product to transfer from an XP desktop to a new Vista desktop. Getting it to transfer in the first place was a frustrating, time consuming struggle, involving an online chat with tech support, who was marginally helpful at best. They resolved the issue by having me switch ends of the transfer cable, which has NO MARKINGS to indicate that it makes any difference which way it is connected. After several tries the transfer worked. 14 hours later it was done. I then started to explore the new computer to find that almost none of the transferred software worked. Those that did work, such as photoshop, were unable to open any of the associated files that were transferred with them. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling several applications to find that they would not work at all because PCMover had changed OS settings. I talked with tech support for several software apps and they could not understand why they wouldn’t work. I was advised that PCMover had corrupted the OS, and that I would need to erase and recover the hard drive. I am now in the process of doing that. Hopefully PCMover hasn’t completely trashed my new PC. With any luck I will be starting fresh tomorrow at square one where I was before I ever installed this crap software.

Save yourself a lot of time and aggravation by just manually re-installing your software and transferring your necessary files. I wish I had.

5 Stars Use As Directed: Think First!
PCMover is a great product that did exactly what it was supposed to do. It did it flawlessly, accurately and without glitches. It took me three trys to complete the migration because of “operator” error, i.e. I did not think first, and pay attention to detail.

While Laplink provides detailed instructions in the printed booklet, and on screen, they could have given a heads-up to the issues that caused my first two migration failures, but I did figure it out pretty quickly, and honestly I should have known better.

Make sure you check these two important things before you get started with your transfer: 1) On both computers, disable any power management options you have enabled, especially the “Turn Off Hard Drives” option. All your power option fields should read, “Never”. 2) Disable any programs on either computer that are set for automatic scheduled runs. I forgot about my defrag program which is scheduled to run and then shut the computer down. Sure enough, it ran and shut the computer down which terminated the PCMover migration while in progress.

Third try was the charm and everything ran flawlessly. I migrated the data (25 gigs) from an XP machine to a Vista machine and I am completely happy with the results. The migration took about eight hours and I wouldn’t think about doing this any other way. I will use PCMover in the future and give a five star recommendation (including caveats) to any who are interested or need to perform data transfer from computer to computer.

1 Star Don’t Waste Your Time or Money
I’m not a novice PC user, but this software is ridiculous! It doesn’t work, period. After hours of struggling and ‘chatting’ with a useless ‘tech expert’ (you have to schedule an appointment if you want to actually talk to a human), it still doesn’t work. The frustration was the worst part; they should pay me to use this crap!

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2

Adobe Lightroom V2 for Windows and Mac. Lightroom provides an efficient way to import, select, develop, and showcase large volumes of digital images.

User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars WONDERFUL program. SERIOUS bug
Lightroom is a 5-star product, with a serious bug in this version. Hence the 3-star rating. I will definitely buy version 2.3, which Adobe says should correct this bug.

I am a Mac user — I don’t know if this bug also exists in the PC version.

First, the great product:

I have thousands of photos (including many duplicates) in disorganized folders all over my disk After using the trial versions of both Lightroom 2 and and Aperture for several weeks, Lightroom was my clear winner.

Big reasons:

1) Lightroom’s internal catalog corresponds directly to the Finder’s folder/file structure. You can change the name of a file, or move it to a new folder, all within Lightroom.

2) Lightroom can keep several edited versions of one master photo. These are stored as edits, which saves space, and makes it easy to keep several versions for special purposes (e.g., web postings, email, printing).

3) The photo editing is awesome. I suspect I’ll have very little need for PhotoShop.

Now the problem: Version 2.2 has a very serious bug (for me).

If you mistakenly import non-standard files, in particular the “shapeimage..” files Mac uses in websites, Lightroom crashes and cannot be restarted without deleting the entire catalog and reimporting all the photos.

When I called Adobe they were very helpful. I quickly reached a knowledgeable person, who says this is a known bug, to be corrected in version 2.3, out in a few months they hope.

5 Stars Great for a photographer
Lightroom (why do we need the photoshop in front?) is great software for moving through images rapidly and making darkroom style adjustments. Its perfect for my needs

5 Stars Software with much depth
Lightroom 2 represents a significant set up from version 1. Version 1 on the Mac suffered from too much. Primarily too much comparison to Aperature. But with this release and the 2.2 upgrade Lightwave finally comes into it’s own.

Unlike a photo editor, Lightroom2 focuses on the management of your photo portfolio. After installation, you tell it where you store your photos and it imports the photos into Lightroom. This is a major improvement from version 1, although this will take a bit of time (about 45 minutes for approximately 13,000 photos). It will then monitor your photo directories for change, although this is not as quick as google’s editor

But those are minor quibbles. Lightwave adopts an assembly line like approach to dealing with photos and it does so very effectively.

Starting with your photo library, you move on to “develop” for a photo or a group of photos. Develop allows you to adjust parameters of the photos ranging from exposure to overlays to layout. This really is the heart of program and what makes it so powerful. This is not at all like photoshop; these aren’t at all competing products, rather they complement each other.

If that’s all Lightwave had to offer, it would a pretty good product, but Adobe has created the ability to develop plug-ins that allow Lightwave to interact with both other programs (such as DxO) to websites (Flickr, Facebook). Don’t consider this an exhaustive list; rather, just search the web for “Lightroom Plugins” to understand the breadth of these plugins.

In summary, this product is valuable tool for people who care about their photos. It’s powerful, intuitive (well, for an Adobe product), and is not a product that you will easily outgrow.

5 Stars Best Thing to Happen to My Workflow…since I 1st Heard the Word “Workflow”
Before discovering this program, I had files all over the map, a terribly disorganzied disaster area of jpgs mixed with RAW mixed with Lord knows what. Additionally, my post-processing routine was anything but. Hours of tedious and frustrating work.

Along comes Lightroom and cleaves my workflow in half! It also has streamlined my archives in such a way that I can find images from several years ago that under normal circumstances would have been buried in a mountain of kilobytes, never to be seen again.

My present day operation is a genuine joy. I have not had a need to even glance at Photoshop CS3 except for the more complicated retouching operations or major projects (movie posters, promos, composites, etc.).

This is a clear winner in comparison to Aperture as well. I’m a die hard Mac guy for my photo work, don’t get me wrong. Aperture is clever and solid, but lacks something in intuition that Lightroom has in spades.

LOVE this software…and can’t fathom life in the studio without it now.

4 Stars Almost Perfect Photo Tool
Lightroom 2, can’t help you with Aunt Lucy’s photo, if you want flames shooting out of her head…. that would be Photoshop. However, what Lightroom 2 offers is a full-range of editing tools to make the photo of Aunt Lucy look fantastic. As a professional nature/wildlife photographer, it has everything I would expect from a top-of-the-line photo editing product, and everything I need (almost) to review, select, store, convert, edit and print a large number of RAW photo files. The one thing I would like to see added, perhaps in the next upgrade, is a watermarking tool. It’s also a very speedy and solid performer, which is absolutely required for a professional workflow.

I struggled with other photo storage, conversion and editing tools for several years. Often, having to use multiple tools to perform various workflow functions I needed. I’m very happy to have discovered one tool that does it all…. Lightroom 2.
