When I built my first computer recently, I chose Windows Vista Ultimate. I would be lying if I said that I liked this operating system. I have just had too many problems. First, I could not install the drivers for my APU. It’s GPU part says that the standard vga adapter failed to start. I had to put an old Geforce 9600 GSO 512 in it. Next, it had several issues with emulating.

Works good and unlike some of the other virus programs I’ve used in the past doesn’t slow down my computer.n*Note I did have a few problems with the first installation and ended up having to re-install. But everything’s good now!

This came right when my subscription to Norton ran out so I was very happy to give it a try. It installed easily with no problems at all, the software also seems to be fairly user friendly. In the past I’ve used McAfee, Norton, and Avg and in my opinion this program seems to be just a little better.

I recently had the chance to review Trend Micro Antivirus and found it to be an adequate antivirus.nThe program to be very user friendly and easy to install.nAnd it seems to work well. Another plus is the fact that running the program doesn’t slow your computer down.nBut honestly this isn’t a program that I would buy just for the fact that it can only be used on one computer.

A good value for the price, easy to install and use. Overall I found it it to be fairly easy to use and very user friendly which makes it a good choice for beginners as well as more experienced users.

A very good antivirus-antispyware.nI’ve used a lot of different antivirus programs in the past but will probably stick with this one in the future.nFor one thing it’s easy to install and works well. It also doesn’t slow down your computer when the program is running and another plus is the fact that it can be used one more than one computer. Just make sure that you first delete any other antivirus programs that may already be on your computer, otherwise the programs may conflict.

I have been a Symantec/Norton customer for 15 years or so and never cared for early versions of ZA that I saw on other people’s computers. The free-after-rebate offer tempted me to give ZA a try … and I have to say that overall, I’m much more pleased with it than Norton Internet Security 2006. ZA’s antispam feature beats Norton’s hands-down - putting almost all spam and no good mails into the spam folder.

Quicken Deluxe 2014 handles my 18+ years of personal finance data very well. I use it to track my bank accounts, my investment accounts, and my home loan. Quicken works hand-in-hand with Turbotax very well. As a longtime user, I found no surprises, when upgrading from the previous version of Quicken.

TurboTax user for 20 years. While not the perfect, TurboTax works well on the calculation side, but updates required by late-breaking changes in tax laws result in some info/descriptive sections becoming less clear. My wife and I do our FIT in parallel, she on paper and I using TurboTax with info imported from Quicken. Most years, we have minor differences to reconcile. Quite often, TurboTax cues us to a deduction or credit we may have overlooked or forgotten.

NU 16.0 performs basic utility functions, as advertised. However, NU 16.0 must be loaded onto a functioning computer, before utilities can be run. I was expecting to be able to boot from the CD and check a drive, per very early versions of the program. In particular, I was looking for a set of utilities which could be used to repair errors on drives/computers which were not booting up,
