Trend Micro AntiVirus plus antispyware 2007 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've used this product for about two years now after switching from Norton.
Pc-Cillin is a dream compared to every other product I've used. It runs flawlessly on both Windows XP and Windows Vista.
Unlike some others who have claimed that it slows down there system, I've found that is simply not the case. It sits idly in the tray icon and only awakens when needed (scanning eMails, intercepting potential viruses, performing software updates, and the like)
Installation was a breeze -- no problems at all. Updates are completely automated and never pose require intervention on my part. Everything is seamless.
It works very well as a firewall as well, in-fact I'd be quite comfortable using it as my only firewall if I wasn't already using a NetGear router. You can configure the firewall to open/block specific internet traffic, ports, and even control how much security you'd like to give individual applications.
Another bonus feature is that if you run more than one computer in the household, PC-Cillin offers the ability to administer (run virus scans) on remote machines. If you're the assigned "geek" of the household, then you can easily scan your kids/siblings/parents computers all from your own desktop.
Pc-Cillin also offers various instant messaging scanning, phishing fraud detection, and a wireless network monitor to keep you safe if you're using your computer as a wireless network access point.
Pc-Cillin has kept my system safe for two years, it hasn't slowed down my computer at all, and has caught many spyware cookies and other potential issues since I've installed it. I also use it in conjunction with SpyBot and AdAware on occasion when I feel the need to do a thorough scan.

TurboTax Deluxe Federal + State 2007 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)While I found the software easy to use, I was quite irritated to find (at the very end) that to e-file, I would need to pay $17.95...and an ADDITIONAL $17.95 to e-file my state return!
Why on earth did I pay $40 for this software?? I downloaded a free version from the company's website last year. The purchased version doesn't include much extra.
Now I have to print out my return and mail it in, because I'm not willing to spend a total of nearly $80 to do my taxes MYSELF! I notice now that this fee is buried in the description above, but it certainly is something you'd have to know to look for. It should be in giant letters right below the price!
Irritating.

Quicken Premier 2011 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a love hate relationship with Quicken. It is a great concept; it is very helpful in managing personal finances and is a program I use daily. I don't buy the upgrades every year, if they can be called upgrades, but the last version I had was Quicken 2006. I held off buying 2010 for a few months knowing 2011's release was around the corner. I learned I don't like not having access to my finances daily. During that time I tried all sorts of other types of financial programs, but none were close to Quicken, which is scary because as much as I like it, the actual program is TERRIBLE - for length of time it has been available. Mint.com(Owned by Intuit/Quicken) was the only program I thought was very good, but it is terrible for investments. Overall, I see very little difference in this version than my 2006 one; clearly there are a few new features but certainly nothing that made me jump up and down. This is pretty amazing considering the price and the 5 version "upgrades" between, but very little has actually improved. Clearly this is the benefit of having a monopoly; you can do virtually nothing for years and still have the best in breed. In 4 days of using Quicken 2011 it has crashed about 4-5 times a day, same old Quicken.
Quicken 2011 is the best personal finance program available, but the lack of innovation and true upgrades is shocking. The graphical displays are very outdated, and I find the lack of being able to increase text size mind boggling. I hope this version holds me over till the long awaited, fabled, complete overhaul. Or maybe a new company will evade being bought out by Intuit and deliver a superior product. I assume the acquisition of Mint by Intuit will start to actually improve Quicken in the next couple of years.
In conclusion, I give Quicken Premier 2011 3 stars, I can't see it being anymore and am baffled by people upgrading from an older version giving it a higher rating.
EDIT 3/12/11 - Upgrades to Quicken 2011 improved stability a couple months after I purchased. I can say this is a Stable program now on my platform. Does not change the rating.
