I am interested in empiric reports with PROs + CONs of applications. I am a fan of AlternativeTo.net & enjoy to find & give here comparative information about distinguishing application features. I use WinXP, Vista, Win7 & BlackBerry 9860, I like Win7, Delphi, portable apps, Waze & virtual machines.

Reviewed Panda DomeError messages in Panda AV with Windows XP since April 2018:
Until end of April 2018 Panda AV was the best AV-solution for Windows XP, because it is a very slim AV-application with a low demand of RAM. Now this error message pops up every few minutes, so I must look for another AV-application for Windows XP. Because of this bad behaviour (I think only in Windows XP) I must reduce...
Reviewed XMarksEverSync is the best replacement for XMarks, which stops syncing with May 1, 2018
I am convinced, EverSync is the best replacement for XMarks, which is no longer available after May 1, 2018. EverSync is a multi-platform bookmark syncing service, very useful, if you want to sync your bookmarks on more than one browser. Like XMarks did, its service...

Commented on Seagate DashboardYou cannot configure, what drives or folders are included in the backup. No scheduler, no automatically cleanup of the backup files. The buttons "Protect Now" and "New Backup Plan" have no function, they do not work.
Because Seagate Dashboard is useless, I uninstalled it instantly.
The best free system backup software is Macrium Reflect Free Edition.
Reviewed Task SchedulerAdvantages of System-Scheduler over Windows Task Scheduler
- Names of the Tasks can be changed
- Tasks can be duplicated
- Backup of all Tasks alltogether to an INI-File
- Restore of all Tasks alltogether from an INI-File
- Export of all Tasks to a CSV-file
- Same professional time scheduling as the Windows Task Scheduler e.g. every third sunday of each month

- System-Scheduler has only an...
Reviewed Magical Jelly Bean KeyfinderIf you install the free version of Magical Jelly Bean Keyfinder on Drive C (not portable version) the installing procedure can install automatically TuneUp-Utilities, if you do not change the preselected installation-mode.
The application is very useful. I like, that it produces a txt-file with all detailed product-keys and product-ID's of your installed Microsoft products with only one click.
In the "user defined installation"-mode you can unselect the installation of TuneUp-Utilities....

Commented on Everything@ Balicky 2013-03-24: If you have your files only on harddisks in your own local computer, where you have admin rights, the search-app "everything" is very OK for You. But if you often search files in much more and much bigger directories in very big company networks with more than 100 TB instead only 7 TB, stored on remote computers, where you have no admin-rights, then you will find nothing with everything. In this case you need Index Your Files, except the admins of the remote computers...
