I decided to buy on Amazon because I can reload the software from them. In the past, using a cd, I got into the issues of passwords and codes that I lost and could not reload app. I have learned that it is best to have several yrs of turbotax application loaded with your files so you can prepare the next year’s return. I have had too many occassion to need to reload the software (e.

I have not used WinZip for at least 10 years. I usually just use free tools like 7-zip and IZArc. It still pretty much does the same thing is always has, and that is compress and decompress files.
WinZip now integrates with online storage services like Dropbox, Google Drive, and Onedrive. I guess that may come in handy for some one that does not already have the clients loaded on their local systems.

So I got a new PC and it came with a few weeks free of McAfee AntiVirus Plus at a discount price. I am a Norton guy on all my personal PCs. Most of my work environments in the past have been McAfee because it is cheaper. It was dog slow in the past, but I figured they would have got it right by now. WRONG. I was constantly turning off the active scan to speed up compiling and transferring files.

Corel PaintShop is a pleasant surprise. I take a lot of pictures on vacations and most of them are pretty easy to clean up. The ones that give me the most trouble are from our scuba diving trips. Close ups are usually ok, but taking landscapes and pictures of my wife usually end up looking like I took them with a blue filter on the camera or they are just really washed out.

Since I’ve been a user of Kaspersky Anti-Virus (KAV) for over five years, I wanted to try out Kaspersky Internet Security (KIS) to see if it truly warranted making a switch.
I installed KIS on an older Vista laptop, a netbook with Windows 7 Starter, and a newer HP with 64 bit Windows. Installation across each of the machines was painless. For installing on the netbook, since it doesn’t have a CD/DVD drive, I just downloaded the software package from the Kaspersky website, which actually saved some time since it was the latest version and there was no need for the software to update during the installation process.

Installation on my desktop running Windows 7 went very smoothly (took about 15 minutes from start to finish) and I found the software to be surprisingly snappy when processing videos.
But I need to back up a moment and mention that although I spend a great deal of time working on graphics, I’m new to video editing (aside from some tutorial and review videos I did using TechSmith’s Camtasia) and this software has a serious learning curve.
