   Review - AVG Anti-Virus Free

   9.0.707a1765 (Nov 12, 2009)

   DO NOT install this hog!!
   Yes, scans are faster, but it hogs system resources.
   I installed this on an old machine and it stopped it in it's tracks!!
   Went back to v. 8.5 and all was back to normal.
   I suppose it's not so bad for a free alternative if you have a beefy machine.
   Yes, Version 7.5 was the best by far!!
   
   And hey Betanews, How about a recent updated screenshot?!!!!!!
   Or is that too much to ask for when doing a review of a product?!!

   Review - AVG Anti-Virus Free

   8.5.409a1634 (Aug 13, 2009)

   Reverb: Did you reformat using the original source disc, or did you create an unattended installation disc for windows which modified and slipstreamed service packs in with the original files... Just a question...
   
   As for everyone concerning false positives, I have this proggy running on all six of my machines...no falsies here. It don't slow my system down, as scans are the only physically demanding task that the software performs, and I'm not using my computers during that time. Schedule it to scan and update while you sleep.
   
   The article author here for Betanews needs to update the damn screenshot!!!
   
   And I found an article which tells you about giving 3 files in the AVG install folder different file extension names to get rid of that annoying drop-down notification....I have an ad-free AVG Free Edition. Here's the link to that website where I found the tip.

   Review - GMail Drive

   1.0.14 (Aug 11, 2009)

   Wait until you try to store a bunch of photos to your gmail and you get your account locked for unusual activity. Using this app violates google terms of use.

   Review - FileZilla v3 for Windows

   3.2.7-rc2 (Aug 4, 2009)

   I use only the FileZilla Server. It has never failed a connection. As for the client, FireFTP is easier for me to use, being that it's a Firefox extension.

   Review - Gmail Manager

   0.5.7.2 (Jul 27, 2009)

   With this add-on my google account does not stay logged on when Firefox is closed and then restarted. Also the favicon notification says I have 3 unread messages when I actually have no new mail. Gmail Notifier is bug-free.I do like the look of the context menu of this app, but it is poor for functionality. I would recommend Gmail Notifier instead of this app.

   0.5.7.2 (Oct 8, 2009 - 10:13 AM)

10. Comment - Facebook's user base almost equal to entire US population

    0.5.7.2 (Sep 16, 2009 - 1:29 AM)

    Well maybe now that their making money they can do away with some of the damned ads and useless crap that I block out with my userscripts and userstyles!!
    
    I think it would be nice if they could leave the code alone for 5 minutes!!!
