  1. Review - Microsoft Windows Defender (32-bit)

    1.1.1347 Beta 2 (Apr 13, 2006)

    For those of you that are saying that Defender does not update, are you in a corporate enviroment that is using WSUS to update your machines? Well, if you are, there's your problem. Defender uses the Automatic Update service to pull the new defs. If you don't update your WSUS servers with the updates for Defender, you'll never get updated. That's all there is to it.

  2. Review - Webroot Spy Sweeper

    4.0 Beta (May 9, 2005)

    No good. I can't install this beta because I apparently need a key for it. I'd love to be able to review it, but because of this fact, it gets a 1.

  3. Comment - Virtual PC 2007 Beta Now Available

    4.0 Beta (Oct 13, 2006 - 11:07 AM)

    To receive the download link, you'll actually have to apply for the beta at the Microsoft Connect site. Then you'll be able to actually download both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions.

  4. Comment - Windows XP SP2 Reaches RC2

    4.0 Beta (Jun 16, 2004 - 11:08 AM)

    I had this exact same issue, but after fighting with it for 2 hours, it was a simple thing.

    Do you have Alcohol 120% installed? If you do, uninstall it. That's what's causing the atapi.sys error. After you undo it, it works great.

  5. Comment - Netscape to Skin Communicator 5.0

    4.0 Beta (Jan 8, 2000 - 10:45 AM)

    Okay - I must admit, it's great to have all the great skinnable software. I like the ability to be able to customize my otherwise drab Win9X desktop. I really don't think that skinning Netscape is going to make a difference because, in my opinion, Netscape is just bloatware to begin with. I stopped using Netscape when IE4 hit the streets. Granted, it was a buggy damned brower, but now that IE5.01 is out, I'll never go back to Netscape. But, for the few of you that are looking for Microsoft to start skinning their browser, don't get your hopes up too high - I doubt they'll do it. But, if you are looking to have IE5 skinned, look no further than Neoplanet. Neoplanet is based off of the IE5 core and it uses some of it's files actually, so you need to have it installed. But, it looks and plays just like IE5, but with a skin on it! It's great, and it is also fast. And, if you are looking to skin your bars that sit at the top of the IE window, check out http://www.hotbar.com. They have little backgrounds that'll skin just that'll just skin the bars and now the whole browser. These are just some suggestions for you guys that wanna try and customize everything under the sun. :) Enjoy!
