I would rather upgrade to 2004 instead of pay subscription to 2003 version, it’s cheaper if you take advantage of Symantec rebate program. I should praise Symantec for the rebate program improvement: they noticed me the status of rebates promptly, quickly answer my question, and mail the check quite fast. They’re listen to the customers comment, well done!!!nnEverything stay almost the same as 2003, one improvement is now SpeedDisk can do the job correctly.

As PC mag stated, this version make little difference with 2002 version. Upgrade it ONLY if you get an absolute great deal.n2. SystemWorks usually run well in my Win2K & WinXP system… When I installed it to Win 98 w/ 64Mb RAM… it’s still work, but forget the performance talk…n3. While doing check up, it report the (Active X) problem and did the fixing bt itself. Then I re-checked it, the same problem stayed… maybe bug inside?

I lost trust if a company failed me twice.nAs many users found out update version 7.0.047 is a piece of junk, I must roll back to version 7.0.462 to make the software work again.nThis is the second time ZoneAlarm did to their customers or at least, me. My side job needs me to try out many different (security) software and recommend to my clients, so sorry ZoneAlarm is currently out of my list.

I will recommend people to read the manual before they use this program if they are novice for this. Here’s how the program work -nnIt record all your moves before it change anything. You need to review the change before you confirm the changes. Program shutdown & restart, then use the scripting to make change. It’s simple enough to use, but not fool-proof. I did screw up my system once (probably my fault) otherwise it work well at Win2K & XP.

So many of the other reviewers have said what I would say about Wordperfect Office x4 that I’ll keep it short. I didn’t use the most of the programs much as my main use of office suites is word processing. I got this suite for my laptop which runs on Vista. My desktop runs XP and I have a copy of MS office that works on XP. Short of buying another copy of MS office, I needed a word processing suite that would convert my word files back and forth with a minimum of formatting destruction.

This is my first time using Kaspersky. I have used a number of AV softwares in the past, including Norton, Avast, AVG, and Mcaffee. I truly have never had much of a preference for any of them, though I certainly do not count myself as a power user, nor someone who has a lot of unsafe browsing habits. Among the features that Kaspersky boasts are the usual firewall, antivirus and website protection, anti pop-up software, parental controls, and more unique items like a protected virtual keyboard and Safe Money for protecting financial transactions and vulnerability scans which check third party programs for possible vulnerabilities.

I’ve been a user of the Cyberlink PowerDVD series for many years, and had been using version 12. Version 13 doesn’t bring a lot of new features, but the overall interface is cleaner and it worked very well for me. I played not only DVDs and Blu-Ray movies, but also videos from a DLNA server over my home network. All played perfectly, with great picture and sound.

I have been a Quicken user for nearly 20 years, and I update each year even though it isn’t necessary. If you’re a user of Quicken 2013, the 2014 version doesn’t add much, except perhaps some better integration with a Quicken Mobile app (that I don’t use.) In past years, new versions would change the interface around requiring an adjustment period - not this time. There’s very little that appears different, and that’s ok with me.

I bought this video splitter for a work tradeshow - it was excellent! Plug in all your sources, push the power button to ON, and you’re done. If only the rest of the electronics were that easy…
