3 comments about Professional Website Promoter.

1. Beware, Don't buy this product called ''professional website promoter''. I just bought this software and had it installed, it asks me for a registration #. You can not use this software without buying a license which is around $300.00. Also the programs in the software cost money to use. Nowhere on the box it says that you need to purchase a license in order to use this product. Its all hidden in the license agreement, but you would never know it unless you opened the package and tried to install it. These people are real scumbags and they havent heard the last of me.



2. This is actually a neutral review, as I have not yet purchased the product, but after reading the first review, I called the company. I had heard that this was a good company and good product. The Customer service rep told me that as long as you have the number provided in the package, there are no extra costs to run this program. If you lose the number, you can call and they will give it to you. There is also a 30 day return time if you aren't satisfied. I would think that if all customers were as disgruntled as the first reviewer, all products would be returned. Apparently they aren't. I hate to see anyone's name smeared needlessly!



3. I just purchased the Wesite Promoter yesterday. Although I am a seasoned web designer, it did help with generating keywords and such and is a very informative tool. As soon as I uploaded my digital scrapbook site, branicdesigns.com/scrapbooking.htm it showed right up on top with google. All those free submits sites never got my site on google at all. It is a great program and very very user friendly. Does not cost anymore to use the program than what you paid for it at the store.

2 comments about Borland Delphi 2005 Professional - upgrade package ( HDB0005WWCS180 ).

1. I was excited at the prospect of getting this product. I own Delphi5, and the idea of an upgrade that I could use to support my existing code as well as upgrade to .net in future or even (horror of horrors leave Delphi and Switch to C#) seemed great, talk about covering all your bases. The new features sounded sensible too. Synch editing (where changing a single identifier in a selection changes all the others) seemed a great idea.
   
   Having always stuck with Borland in the past I was expecting something professional and polished, sadly I think Borland have lost the plot.
   
   D2005 tries to be a Jack of all Trades and ends up being a master of none.
   
   The user interface is cluttered (it took me about ten minutes just to hide all the options for .net, interweb etc when i was trying to build a win23 application. I think it would have made far more sense to present the user with a wizard at startup that would have determined which components appear in the IDE.
   
   Performance is awfull, I have a fast(ish) machine, AMD Athlon XP 3200+ with 1 GB Ram, and the IDE would frequently freeze for three or four seconds at a time whilst I was navigating through my code. The minimum specs of a PII/450 are a joke as are the recommended specs of a PIII/850. Even after turning off code completion and virtually all the other editor options it was still barely usable (in fact if only the options that were available in Delphi 5 are switched on, peformance is still terible).
   
   And reliability! I had to do a double take on this, I was sure I must have installed something incorrectly or done something else wrong. It is unbelievably bad. I got constant Access Violations (I think Borland knew full well how unreliable it was going to be because 'helpfull' dialogs pop up explaining that a AV has occurred and asking you if you still want to save your work! don't remember that in previous versions!) and after these AV's any other action would result in further AV's. I think a lot of the reliability is down to memory leaks in the IDE. It would work OK for the first few minutes and then gradualy get worse and worse the more time I spent using it. I was so shocked at the reliability that I went onto Borlands Quality Central Site and, sigh, it wasn't an instalation issue, lots of people were having the same problems. I uninstalled the application, then reinstalled clean and added the patches available from the QC site but it made little if any difference. Eventually I gave up and reinstalled Delphi5, ah bliss, fast IDE, fast builds (its actually a lot faster to constantly rebuild to check your code for errors in Delphi5 then it is to use highlighting in Delphi 2005) no AV's!
   
   Overall then: nice idea if they can get the bugs out and maybe sort out the screen clutter a bit, but nowhere near stable enough at present for real world development.



2. I am extremely impressed and satified by the capability, simplicity, power, magic and genius of the Borland Delphi products. I have used Visual dBASE, Visual Foxpro, Visual Basic, Access and Visual Objects, and none of these products have the simplicity and power of this amazing product from Borland.
   
   Moreover, this product dramatically reduced my programming time. Maintenance of a Delphi program is also a snap. For example, I wrote a DOS business invoicing and inventory program using Clipper in 3 weeks time, but the same program rewritten using Delphi was accomplished in only 3 hours. This was made possible because of the power of the Delphi database components and user interface components. The finished product is neat and incredibly fast. In the Clipper old days, I spent most of my time writing codes, now I have much more time to share with my family and friends, and enjoying other things life has to offer, thanks to Delphi.
   
   This is the programming environment I always dreamed of. The beauty and elegance of Delphi surpasses anything I have seen and tried.
   
   Naturally, there is no free lunch for anything in life, there is a steep learning curve. Delphi is the Clipper for the 2000's and more!

5 comments about PC-cillin Internet Security 2005 Home Security Pack - 3 User.

1. PC-cillin Internet Security 2005 Home Security Pack Is one of the best virus programs out there and it is worth it. scaning filesi is easy as one, two, three! Although it is slightly better than norton anti virus, I still recommend you to buy and use this somftware in order to protect yourself from hackers and spam.
   
   Some technical features of this item from the website is:
   
   Comprehensive Virus Security
   
   Award-winning Trend Micro antivirus technology detects and removes all types of viruses, worms, Trojans, and blended threats. Advanced heuristics technology can block unknown viruses before a new pattern file is available, and the Outbreak Alert System proactively warns you of the new threats before a virus can attack.
   
   Enhanced Spyware Detection and Removal
   
   New anti-spyware technology detects and removes spyware, adware, and other unwanted programs, including cookies and registry keys designed to steal personal data and monitor online activity. The filtering engine uses an extensive spyware database, which is continually updated so you are protected from the latest threats. It performs real-time scans to block spyware before it can be installed and runs manual scans to remove programs that are already on your system.
   
   Anti-Phishing -
   
   New anti-phishing technology protects you from "phishing" attacks designed to steal personal data, such as credit card, bank account, and social security numbers, user names and passwords. Using an innovative approach, the software stops the transmission of outbound data to known phishing-related Web sites.
   
   Home Network Control -
   
   This unique feature enables you to easily configure, update, and control PC-cillin Internet Security running on any PC on your home network-managing all functionality through a single interface. You can run remote security scans to ensure all of your PCs are safe and updated with the latest protection. You can also password-protect PC-cillin Internet Security to prevent others from disabling or modifying security settings.
   
   Wi-Fi Intrusion Detection -
   
   Trend Micro's new Wi-Fi Intrusion Detection is the industry's first alert system for consumers that warns you when a wardriver or another unknown user enters your wireless network. By adjusting profile-based security settings, you can optimize performance and security for your current network environment, whether connecting via Wi-Fi or Internet café.
   
   Improved Spam Filtering
   
   Trend Micro's anti-spam technology identifies and blocks spam with a higher level of accuracy, saving you valuable time and effort. You can easily adjust filtering sensitivity, and if you use Microsoft™ Outlook, you can install the new integrated anti-spam toolbar that enables you to optimize results based on personal needs.
   
   Personal Firewall
   
   The firewall prevents hackers and network viruses, like MYDOOM, NIMDA, and SASSER, from invading your home network. If a threat is detected, it can automatically shut off network access to stop the virus from spreading. When a new threat emerges, Trend Micro's Network Virus Emergency Center sends an early alert so your network is protected immediately.
   
   Vulnerability Assessment -
   
   This new security feature automatically performs regular scans of your computer and alerts you to operating system and browser vulnerabilities. It then provides one-click access to Windows Update so you can download the patch file.



2. Installed this on my new computer.Had problems and they had me reinstall.I now have new problems and when I send the problem to microsoft they say it's pc-cillins fault.support gives me the runaround.I will go back to Mcaffe.Don't waste your money on pc-cillin.Don't expect to get your rebate on it ..I didn't.



3. Trend Micro Systems Internet Security 2005 offers complete support for the low to advanced Internet User.
   
   The Virus Real time Agent is updated many times per day and is lightening, quick to act on a New Threat encountered via HTTP/S or IRC.
   
   The Scan Facility is fully flexible offering the user an unlimited range of target files and frequency and does not utilize Microsoft scheduler.
   
   The Security Scan alerts you to new updates available from Microsoft but absent from you PC so you don't need to sign up for updates from Microsoft or constantly perform Windows/Microsoft Updates.
   
   The Spyware Scan is effective and whilst is may not catch all threats - severe threats are identified.
   
   The predefined URL filter is accurate in its ability to guard again unwanted sites by category and can offer a degree of parental control.
   
   By far the most impressive feature is the firewall component. There are 4 predefined profiles offering the basics of core protection for the type of environment from a direct connection to a wireless PC. Impressive control is offered at the file, application or global level, the direction of the source packet and includes ICMP as well as TCP/UDP/ANY targeting.
   
   Thank goodness there is no hard disk scan - if you have many applications on you hard disk they don't automatically get granted internet access - you control ALL access by every application including the operating system in both directions and by type, IP, Port or range of above. Once set in place you won't SPEND YOU WHOLE LIFE administering the firewall like so many other well known products.
   
   There is NO guesswork as to allow/disallow warnings unlike other popular firewalls and you don't need a degree in comms to decide weather to all or disallow any firewall warning. The beauty of every warning is that the actual application requesting access is identified by program Icon, application AND file. A novice user can easily identify with the program Icon requesting access and does not really need to know anything about the associated file to make an informed decision.
   
   The firewall offers compatibility with SP2 for double protection and there is WI-FI warning to advice of any unwanted access by unauthorized wireless access.
   
   The private data security is disappointing.
   
   Support ranges from exceptional for UK/Asia based to just o.k. for US based, however if you should be the victim of a New Virus, Trend Labs offers exception, non fee based analysis which a very welcome commitment to real product support and Multi user License packs are easy to purchase. There IS actual support and it is welcome by Trend Labs and you wont be sent a bill to get rid of a New Virus should you get one.
   
   A Premium based support agreement offers a guaranteed to be provided a solution to you which, is intern shared freely with the whole world.
   
   Conclusion: Once established, you won't spend your life looking after/guessing how to use the 2 most important components the Virus/ Firewall features and this offering from Trend Labs is the beginning of a vast range of small network to enterprise management tools.
   
   The 2006 version has just been released and it is exceptional and raises the bar far above other more well known offerings which still assume all of us have a degree in Computer Science; however if you do - working with these products will prove a refreshing change from either hopeless or unmanageable offering from other vendors.



4. I switched from Norton Internet Security because it let something in and could not remove it. When I installed PC-cillin my laptop would no longer print on my wireless network. I installed PC-cillin on another wireless computer on my network and the wireless network connection died. I had to run an Ethernet cable to get it back online but the computer would not print anyway. I messed around trying to get it working for almost six months and made no headway.
   
   I purchased McAfee internet security suite 2006 and installed it on the 2 computers PC-cillin had messed up. McAfee found a Trojan on my laptop which was the reason I had switched from Norton Internet Security. My computer would print on the network again. The other computer would also print and the wireless network started working again. On the good side, I only found 1 virus on one computer and one Trojan on the other. PC-cillin seems to work well as an antivirus.
   
   I could find no way to configure PC-cillin to allow my computers to print and there was nothing I do about it killing my wireless network.
   
   A complete waste of $75...



5. I renewed my subscription....they wouldn't send an updated version on cd....when i loaded on other computers...none worked....even when I downloaded correct version off the web....
   
   spam filter won't work....
   
   Won't bother with this again...
