thanks for the list, very detailed, they certainly have gone to a great dal of trouble to look at what is available.

This is great, but I had installed Super Anti Spyware cos you had it listed at the top of another list, and it isn't on this list at all. I 'lost' my PC Doctor, and can't 'fix' it for some reason. It won't uninstall so that I can reinstall it. I have tried everything, so that will have to wait until I can afford to pay for professional help. Anyway, I will try another one of your top-rated programmes until then. I'm just curious as to why SAS didn't make your new list. Thanks again for all that you do, BTW.

How about giving credit where credit is due?

COMODO does not provide a proper Uninstall file. I had to spend $50 (June 2009) to get a computer shop expert to find out why I could not "ping" websites. The culprit: COMODO had lodged a file somewhere in my registry and COMODO's Uninstall would not remove it! Beware.

this is not free

Great list, but you may wish to add KIDZUI under the Parental Control section:

It filters behahior via an extensively white-list filter, as opposed to a difficult to update black-list approach. Check it out.

Thank You very much indeed for the time and trouble of all those involved.

This is a good list, but there are more than just a few things on it which are not really free (and, by that, I mean things other than the few which are labeled, right on the list, as not free). But this is a freeware web site. We come here so that we don't have to sort through the free-vs-commercial stuff ourselves (like we must do on the above list). In that sense, then, this list does almost as much of a disservice as it does a service.

Please clearly mark that on the list which is not truly freeware.

Also, we are linked, on many of the items, to something other than the maker's web site. That's an unnecessary extra step. Our time is valuable, too; and if we were looking for web sites which only describe the products, and then link from there (or sometimes don't even link) to the maker's site, then why would we want to do that from a site (this one) which does exactly the same thing?

Please link only to the product makers' web pages.

Additionally, not all the links are to English web sites... even when an English version exists. And, please: I get that not everyone speaks/write/reads English... this, that I am writing, is not an arrogance or a conceit. It is based, simply, on the inescapable fact that this is an English-speaking/writing web site. Therefore, all links from it should be to English-speaking/writing web sites.

Please make it so that all links are to Enlish-speaking/writing web sites (or at least the English pages thereon).

Finally, some of the products listed are dead... begging the question of whether the person who compiled the list bothered to ensure that it was current, or perhaps relied too heavily on old notes accumulated over a long period of time.

Please ensure that all products are actually still current and available.

Thank you, otherwise, for the excellent list...

...a list which, to avoid confusion, should, in my opinion, be, as quickly as possible, integrated into the appropriate categories throughout the rest of the site rather than being on this one, single-page list. But, again, that's just my opinion... as is the rest of this posting.
