Reviewed Spybot - Search & Destroy (v2.4) 2.4.40

Still appreciate some of Spybot's functions (immunization of browsers, hosts). Not sure it's needed these days (modern antivirus do much of this in realtime). The 2.x interface is sadly still a total mess, clunky, modulated, loathsome. Always... Read full review

Finally made the switch to different software (Deluge, recommended), due to uTorrent's bloat and probable future plans from parent company (more bloat, ads). Goodbye uTorrent, you were great for a few years, while you were independent. Read full review

Reviewed AMD Catalyst Drivers for Windows 15.10 Beta

Finally hit a big problem with AMD's (notorious) Catalyst drivers: It seems my display driver has not been getting updated (via these Catalyst Suites) since a few weeks after my fresh install of Windows 8 in 2012. I am still unable to update the... Read full review

Incredible bit of software. Perfectly mimics Windows Start Menu. Only $5 (for life of product). Developed by Stardock, trusted. New and improved releases regularly. Tiny file size and low resource usage. This review's especially for Lord Troll IV... Read full review
