Can you trust the Net Nanny?

Advantages: Restricts online chat, blocks unsafe websites
Disadvantages: Cannot properly determine safe and unsafe websites

Net Nanny 5 is just another 'Security Package'. But with the insurance of Internet Security, there is an added bonus of 'Parental Control'. The Net Nanny 5 provides a Chat Monitor which discretely monitors and records popular chat and instant messaging programs. It will also notify you when your child is in a potentially risky conversation, limit the time spent on online chat and will stop your child from giving out personal information. Net Nanny ...
...parents who use the internet. Net Nanny 5 will block potentially unsafe websites even though you change the settings in your user profile to 'not block anything'. You may also get problems with programs that are not related with the Internet, such as Microsoft Word. Net Nanny may bring up a 'connect' box while you are in the middle of some important work. The problem with this software is that you will never be able to get the security settings ...

Clunky interface and Sync issues with Lotus Notes

Advantages: It can sync between Lotus Note and the native PDA Contacts, Tasks, and Calendar
Disadvantages: Doesn't sync all Lotus Notes calender items properly

Clunky interface and Sync issues with Lotus Notes I've been using this product for over a year now and have not been overly impressed. It's not a bad product, it just doesn't meet my expectations. The first thing I noticed is the clunky interface. I find the profile setup/configuration screen confusing and complicated. It uses a ton of tabs and checkbox listboxes. It also breaks out the options for each type of item that is being synchronized into ...
...down style, where you select the type of data that you want to sync, and then drill down into the options for that item. In addition to the clunky interface I am frustrated that any time I change one of the sync rules, it forces me to do a complete sync between the PDA and the PC. This irritates me because I also sync my PDA with my personal computer. By forcing me to do a full sync with one computer it ends up creating duplicates on the other!!! ...

Review of AntiVir Personal Edition

It might be my fault

Advantages: Quicker and more comforable to use
Disadvantages: Crashes too often

...anyhow I decided to give Google Chrome a try and see how good it was since I had heard nothing but good things about it. After doing a Google search I found the download site and proceeded to get the download. It was all really simple and easy and within half an hour I had the new browser available on my computer. The first thing I noticed was that the page load time had significantly reduced meaning my webpages were loading a lot faster, which is ...
...overall look and feel of Google Chrome is very good and I feel quite comfortable with its interface, it doesn’t take nearly as long as I thought to re-adjust to the different layout. I particularly like the option of having your favourite favourites lined up along the top of the screen just under the address bar which is larger than I.E’s address bar. Everything about Google Chrome does appear to be more logical than I.E and although things are placed ...
