Software like this is essential nowadays. Every time you use your computer you leave behind a signposted trail of what you did, when you did it and what you looked at. Files you delete can still reside on your hard drive years later. All this personal data can be viewed, even by web sites you visit - your privacy and safety are at risk from criminal exploitation.
I have used security software for at least 15 years, both previous versions of Window Washer and offerings from several others. I can report that Window Washer is a reliable and easy to use piece of software that you can happily install and forget - it can be set up to work automatically. It is better value than most, has a proven track record, is from a well known software ... Read More:

I purchased this product for my 14-year old Daughter to use for her ICT homework and GCSE-based coursework. The product may be good, but trying to obtain a Licence number to use the product after the 30-day trial is horrendous. Firstly, you have to complete their Form and upload this as an attachment to an email; secondly you have to provide proof that the Student is in education; and thirdly you have to provide a photo of the Student/Child. Filling out a Form is understandable, downlaoding and attaching to an email is easily done! However, surely Adobe realise that in the UK, all children of 16 & under (Year 11 and below) have to attend School - we the parents get prosecuted if they don't. But, no we still have to prove that they attend an educational ... Read More:

This software is marketed as being compatible with Vista. What they don't tell you is that it only works on Vista 32-bit NOT Vista 64-bit.
As soon as I tried to install the software, a popup informed me that it wasn't compatible with my operating system. This resulted in the installation being abandoned.
Since I only found this out after I removed the shrink wrap I'm not able to return the CD-ROM.
If you have Vista-64, Don't fall into the same trap as me and stay well clear of this product!

I have always had a soft spot for Publisher and still use the 2003 version for my teaching and for producing teaching handouts. I haven't bought the 2007 version but have looked at it and it all seems very similar to what has gone before.
For the money, it looks very expensive these days and very poor when compared to products from Serif and the like. Also, remember the latest version of Word makes a good stab at being a half decent DTP application, at least for simple projects. Buying both really is bordering on duplication.
I think I would need a lot or persuading to part with £140 for something which is really a tarted up version of 2003. Most of the time I use a Mac and an application called Swift Publisher, which knocks the socks off Publisher ... Read More:

The issue of likely growing interest in viruses being written for attacks on Macs is an accident waiting to happen - as Mac User magazine (11th April 2008) recently wrote the fact pattern with growing use of Mac computers means that in their estimation 2008 will be the year the Mac hackers finally break through and recent experiments at the CanSecWest security conference demonstrated in an open competition between hackers how easy this is!
The problem with this offering is that it is Mac OS specific and so a system covering the Windows "side" if that is your set up through using Boot Camp or more likely Parallels or a comparable system on the same computer is left open to viruses. For such joint users this product will be of minimal value I concluded when researching ... Read More:
