Disappointing release this. It's not possible to exclude specific unscannable files or folders. The code runs on Intel Macs, but only in PowerPC emulation - so it's slow. Also, it hangs when you scan a well-known Nessus test file that's been around for a year or two. Finally their customer support web site seems buggy (the confirmation emails are slow to arrive, don't summarize the info you submitted, and don't quote the case number in the subject line). All in all, pretty incompetent. Avoid!
Intego VirusBarrier 4 seems to get good reviews, and users say good things about it, so may be worth a try.

Normally a new release of a development environment is just a small number of enhancements and a few minor changes to the language features. With this release of Visual Studio Microsoft have almost created an entirely new experience for the developer. Core language enhancements such as LINQ and extension methods combined with major changes to the tools such as IntelliSense for JavaScript make this a must have version of this already great development environment.
The ability to target multiple versions of the framework from within one development environment is a great advantage, now you don't need to have multiple versions of Visual Studio installed this one version can target version 2.0, 3.0 and 3.5 of the dot net framework. ... Read More:

Not impressed. It might be good if it integrated properly with Word, but the integration to MS Word is hopeless, and messes up the toolbars and menus. On my copy of Word when I go to View, Toolbars, there is a list of about fifty PDF create toolbars.
Nuance is aware of the problem - the fix is to take away the integration with Word, which they note, will prevent any bookmarks, comments and hyperlinks being copied into the resulting PDF documents - hopeless!
And if it isn't integrated, you might as well install Open Office for free and it will convert Word documents to PDF.

Having used Scansofts pdf Converter 3.0 Professional (Converts and Creates) for 3 years, I can re-iterate that for those of us running small businesses whereby we need to create bochures, convert and rebrand supplier brochures, this is the "perfect" way to do it. We send dozens if not hundreds of documents (quotes, price lists, brochures & operator manuals etc etc) each month and have absolutely no complaints about how this product goes about its job, quick, simple & effective.
Our only dismay was having to move away from v3.0 to v4.0 when we upgraded from xp to vista as v3.0 is not vista compatible, but version 4 is just as good, in fact much, much better. Ignore all of the negatives, for plain simple straight forward day to ... Read More:

Having bought this and used it for over 100 days to backup my computer, I then had a problem and had to move from the save function to the restore function.
Hours of phone calls to support diagnosing v2isr.exe errors, downloading new versions of the disk, brought no relief.
I was then told by symantec, that I required a cd-rom burner and software to move onwards...something you'll note was not on the list of their system requirements, so add £100 to the cost of the software to make it work.
After shelling out for a burner, the v2isr.exe error persists, and Symantec have suggestion I purchase (yes you read that right) purchase ghost 14, as that works....
I know this is an inexpensive product, so I wasn't expecting top of the line. The instructions, however, are not very helpful. I bought the product to make a will for both my husband and myself. I was very pleased wih the actual documents, they do just about what I wanted them to do. However, even though the instructions say that I can "save as," so that I can save two separate documents, this is not the case. What actually has to happen is that I have to export each document to my word processor, then start over in Will Maker if I have any changes to make. Quite clumsy, really.
However--in the end, it does what it says it does, the forms are good, and the price is right.

I too also used to use Trend and like it, but left the fold to save cash last year.
However, contrary to the other opinion, I find this new version still works well and is much less heavy on the system that F-Secure was, which I have now ditched. I have two PC's, one a 1.8GHz machine around 6 years old running XP and it does not seem to cause that any problem.
It looks nice, has some handy tools, but in the end just gets on and does its job. SPAM filter gets about 90%.
I won't say any more, because you can try in free for a month if you visit their website.

In my opinion, Vista is a better product than XP but whether or not it is worth upgrading depends upon the specification of your pc. If you have a new pc with above-minimum specification (especially minimum 2Gb ram, preferably 3Gb) and decide to run under Vista, I think you will be happy with it - provided all your software is Vista-compatible. But if your pc has less than 2Gb ram, or includes components more than about three years old, or you don't have Vista-certified versions of software or are hoping to play old games, then I would advise you to stick with XP. It is by no means an essential upgrade and probably you could wait another year or two.
