  1. Review - Vista Manager (32-bit)

    1.4.3 (Feb 5, 2008)

    It's not tweaking Vista needs, but an OS that works.

  2. Review - Spybot - Search & Destroy

    1.5.2.20 (Jan 29, 2008)

    This release seems to have solved the major problems with 1.4: slow running and the wonky Tea Timer graphics. It did a full scan in 20 minutes and never used more than 50% of CPU; most of that was "borrowed" from SETI.

    It is much more than spyware scanner. In addition to real time protection from the abysmally named but effective Tea Timer it also has a shredder, and system start up and uninstall utilities.

  3. Review - AM-DeadLink

    3.2 Beta 1 (Jan 29, 2008)

    Excellent program which has enabled me to quickly and painlessly (but carefully) clear out about 300 multiple bookmarks in under 15 minutes.

  4. Review - XnView for Windows

    1.92 (Jan 23, 2008)

    A simple, intuitive layout. No need to plough through reams of help files to get started. Brilliant. The best I've tried.

    The forum has some French labels but the majority of thread titles and text is in English.

    I give it 5 only because there is no 6.

  5. Review - ZipGenius

    6.0.3.1150 (Dec 28, 2007)

    I discovered ZipGenius on File Forum when looking for a replacement for WinZip. That was in about 2005. Going into 2008, this is still a great free program.
