   Review - Google Chrome for Windows

   4.0.245.0 Beta (Nov 17, 2009)

   I have been using Google Chrome as my default browser for about a month now. I made it default because it loads fast and some programs that access a browser on occasion would open Firefox. My Firefox is full of plugins and thus takes quite a while to load. Google Chrome opens much quicker and often will open pages Firefox has trouble with.
   
   Firefox is the tool I use most of the time for posting in forums and researching because of the many useful addons I have installed. I am looking forward to the inclusion of this type of functionality in Chrome some day.

   WOW very nice interface and extensive activity information with a graph of shield traffic for each separate component and history graphs by http://www.amcharts.com/. The user may chose simple controls and settings or expert level interaction. The interface default is quite nice. I have not tried any skins yet. I don't usually use them.
   OK UPDATE

   Review - UnHackMe

   5.5 Beta (Aug 13, 2009)

   I hope this software will continue to improve. I like the concept but in my system I found myself in an endless loop of reboots trying to delete a file that UnHackMe said was not on my machine.. I found much of the documentation hard to follow. The translation is in need of fine tuning.
   
   As far as I can tell once a file called "MCHINJDRV.SYS" was once on my machine and was in the autorun section of my registry. UnHackMe repeatedly found the entry in my registry and tried to delete the file even though it was not physically on my system. perhaps I misunderstood but I was repeatedly directed to reboot my system to remove the threat that repeatedly was reported not found....
   
   Any way Good luck to the development team. I hope you can refine this program so that it is more anglo-friendly and fool-usable.

   5.5 Beta (Nov 11, 2004 - 8:31 AM)

   Seems a shame to think that a program that wipes the floor with Media player is struggling to stay alive. I just found out how great it is. If every user donated $1 or its equivalent in their currency AOL could probably go GNU>
