Comic Collector 4.1.1 Pro – Software Review

Dear Readers,

Now You Can Follow The Computer Savvy Weblog Via Twitter: https://twitter.com/Computer_Savvy

Here is my full review of Comic Collector 4.4.1 Pro ….enjoy becuase I don’t normally do this type of review. But since it is a really awesome program…I’ll give it my full review treatment ….

AA. Cost: $ 39.95 USD

BB. Is it worth that cost ?: Yes, but only if you own a comic store or have a large comic book collection

1. Ease of use – Super simple (Can’t get any easier to use then this program unless it could read your mind)

2. Interface -  Actually very very complicated. I had to refer back to the instructions and FAQ more then a few times…

3. Quality of program – Extremely efficient and accurate

4. Speed of adding new comics – Super fast maybe tops less then a minute

5. Ease Of Understanding The Stats Report: Actually pretty hard or not really useful. Unless you are looking for number of comics owned or lent out.

6. Updating – If there is an update…it does it super fast

7. Can you run other programs while Comic Collector is running ? Yes

8. Can you run programs during update ? Yes

9. Is there any problems or down sides? Yes, it is really really slow when you first load up the program everytime

10. Can you leave it running and it will run with out issue ? Yes

11. Is there adware or Spyware bundled with it ? nope, not that I saw

12. Is it stable ? Yes, very much so

Overall a 3.5 out of 5 stars – there are of course the rare comic that you will not find..but very RARE. The main interface is over complicated at least for me..a first time user and with this version it adds i-pod support and such XML support as well. Which is great if you have a treble memory like myself…

EXTRA INFO: This program has a site that is connects to to update new comic book covers and titles. Ity looks great..but I had some issues understating some of the extras I got with the full version.

Q+A: Why Does MSN My Messenger Links No Longer Works After I installed AVG Free Anti-Virus ?

Dear Readers,

Now You Can Follow The Computer Savvy Weblog Via Twitter: https://twitter.com/Computer_Savvy

Q: Why Does MSN My Messenger Links No Longer Work After I installed AVG Free Anti-Virus ?

A: The main issue is that there are components AVG does not like. Often it is directly related to a previously installed Anti-Virus program or older version of MSN Messenger or Windows Live Messenger.

Please Follow these steps to alleviate the issue and or issues:

Fix:

1. Make sure you don’t have any other virus program installed. If you do un-install it and then re-start your computer.

2. After your computer has re-started make sure there are no more file folders hanging around from old virus program.

3. If so delete them and then re-start your MSN Messenger or Windows Live Messenger.

———————————————————————————

If your MSN Messenger or Windows Live Messenger still does not work:

1. Fully un-install your MSN Messenger or Windows Live Messenger

2. Then re-start your computer

3. Re-install MSN Messenger or Windows Live Messenger sand make sure you check off all items other then family filters option

4. You should not have to re-start your computer. But if it ask you by all means re-start your computer.

FrostWire (4.18.3) – Free P2P Software Review

Dear Readers,

Now You Can Follow The Computer Savvy Weblog Via Twitter: http://twitter.com/Computer_Savvy

DISCLAIMER: KNOW THE LAWS WERE YOU LIVE BECAUSE DOWNLOADING IS ILLEGAL IN SOME PLACES and both Computer Savvy & Internet Savvy does not condone illegal Downloading or Uploading of any kind.

SORRY ABOUT THAT…LEGALLY I HAVE TO SAY THAT….. NOW TO THE REVIEW

Con’s

- Full of viruses (not even easy to pick up till it is to late)

- Pretty much every search will end up with some junk files

- Not very effective when downloading more then 5 or 6 files at a time

- No  really effective when searching for anything other then music

- I found a lot of internal media player issues still (Volume is still an issue with internal media player as well some songs not set on repeat will repeat over and over again for no reason)

- Some rated MP3 files were not labeled right such as saying excellent quality and it was not even close to what I would call passable…

- Some music files ended up after a fews days getting corrupted

- Some files seem to disappear after download..Like you can’t find them (Unless you run the songs with in FrostWire -When it is running-)

Pro’s

- Free

- Simple to use

- Very slick/appealing interface

- Very light on resources (Both Ram and CPU)

- Really fast keyword and title searching

- Great Search engine

- Great increased sourcing

- Very decent download speed

- Can find pretty much any song you could ever want

- Great internal media play integration (Still needs a lot of work)

—————————————————————

Overall I give FrostWire a 3.5 out of 5 – You can find pretty much any type of music you are looking for. But be very careful this program is full of virus of all types. FrostWire is clearly better then Limewire this time around. Another note is I would recommend using another media player other then the one included in the program. Other then using it to test out the songs you just downloaded.

** FrostWire is still way better then LimeWire, Bearshare and its like…it is killer finding music other then some of the newer titles. There are still issues with it. There has been major search engine improvements as well as sourcing and speeding up download speed and speed of how fast search engine results are displayed is insane at how fast they are found….I am going to say almost Google Like….
